During th? Civil War tba Confederate
Amy and Navy secured all of their
alt from the town of Saltsvllle, Va.
Saltville 1b situated in Smythe County
in a beautiful valley formed by the
Clinchtield Mountains. Many feet under
the surface is an inexhaustible
supply of brine.
This is pumped out and converted
into salt. The manufacture of this
.necessity soon built up a thriving community.
Salt being the chief commodity,
the village was named Saltville.
The Federal troops made numerous
attacks on the salt factory, and were
repulsed each time, until near the close
of the war, when the Confederates were
forced by overwhelming numbers to
retreat.
After the Civil War the mines were
bought by private parties and successfully
operated. In recent years, however,
the manufacture of salt has been
given iin. nrH u>? -* "

Soda is now carried on extensively.
by the MATHIESON ALKALI
WORKS.
The product turned out by this company
is known as "EAGLE-THISTLE"
Soda and is the purest and strongest
soda made.
Besides being invaluable for making
light, flakey biscuit, "EAGLE-THISTLE"
Soda has numerous household
uses. It is excellent for keeping milk
cans clean and sweet. "EAGLETHISTLE"
Soda will bleach lard and
keep it from becoming rancid. Used
in washing, it whitens the clothes and
prevents rubbing (which wears them
out). A little "EAGLE-THISTLE"
Soda applied to the bite or sting of
insects gives instant relief. A teaspoon
of "EAGLE-THISTLE" Soda will
cause the butter to gather quickly.
Flowers will keep fresh an unusually
long time if a little "EAGLE-THISTLE"
Soda is put in the water. Besides these
"EAGLE-THISTLE" Soda has many
other uses.
The MATHIESON ALKALI WORKS
has prepared a book wbich tells all
about this wonderful soda, a copy of
which will be sent free to anyone asking
for it by addressing them at Saltville,
Virginia.

Happiness. By Hugh Black. Published
by Fleming H. Revell Co., New
York. This book of 253 pages is a
beautiful specimen of the printers art,
and will make an attractive and valuable
Christmas present. It is the fourth
volume of the author's "Friendship
Series." In a most helpful, comforting
and inspiring way, Mr. Black writes
about the right to, the duty of, the
sources of. the secret of, the grades of,
the shadow on, the foes to, the heart of
happiness. Those who are familiar with
this author's books need not be told
what a charming writer he is. And

The Twelfth Christmas. By Marjorle
Benton Cooke. Publishers, ForbeB &
Co., Chicago, 111. This is an attractively
prepared little booklet in verse of 27
pages. The author in an interesting
way represents the mother of Jesus as
revealing to him on his twelfth birthday
his true character and work, and
tells of the coming trials and death that
await him. Of course the writer has
drawn entirely upon her imagination
for the story, which does not in some
respects conform to what seems to be
the teaching of the Scripture.
Ben King's Southland Melodies.
Published by Forbes & Co., Chicago,

Bongs and poems in the negro dialect.

feature of the book is the
large number of pictures of the old

taken from life, and which give a very
correct idea of that fascinating class
of the olden days. Would that there
more of them left, and that the younger
geneiation were more like their faithful
and honest forefathers.

Society, Philadelphia. Price

Book I. The Book and the Message.
Fart I by H. C. Alleman, D. D., in a
careful way deals with the Book as we
know it; the canon and its authority, inspiration
and method, the pentateuch,
patriarchal history, the exodus and
Sinai, Joshua and the judges, the united
kingdom, the kingdoms of Israel and
Judah, the captivity and the restoration,
the prophets, the gospel history (life
and ministry of Christ), apostolic history
(early church and expansion), the
geography of the Bible, historical geo.
graphy, institutions of Israel, language
and external form, our English Bible,
charts and maps. Part II by W. H. Dunbar,
D. D., deals briefly with the Bible
as a Divine revelation, God, sin, the law,
the gospel (redemption prepared, accomplished.
annliedl. the n?r?nno1
sage to the individual, the new life, the
means of grace, the kingdom of God,
immortality. As one can see, this book
is full of the outstanding facts and
truths of Holy Scripture, furnishing a
grounding in essentials.
Hook II. The Pupil and the Teacher,
by Luther A. Weigle, Ph. D., professor
of philosophy in Carleton College. In
Part I we have a most admirable survey
of "the Pupil" under the teacher's
work and training, physical activity,
early and middle and later childhood,
early and later adolescence, instinct,
habit, the will, mortality and religion.
In Part II we are shown "the Teacher"
from the standpoint of grades, methods
AN or THE SOUTH
of teaching, tbs pit* of ths It*ton, the
pupil at work, attention and appsrception
(principle* and methods), questlone,
the class as a social institution,
the spiritual goal, JesuB the Ideal
Teacher. This is one of the best up-todate
and trustworthy presentations of
these two important subjects that we
know of, and is now being widely used.
Book III. The School and The Church,
by Chas. S. Albert, D. D., is now in
course of preparation.
Book IV. The Lutheran Church und
Child-Nurture is suggestively and prodently
treated by Arthur H. Smith, D.
D. Id Part I we have: The Lutheran
Church, the Church and the Child,
Christian Church history, the Reformation
(causes and preparation)), Luther
and his work, the counter-Reformation
and the 30 yearB' war, the 17th and 18th
ceuturies the Lutheran church in
America, Lutheran missions and philanthropies,
the Lutheran church of today.
Part II handles The Church and
the Means of Grace: The Word (primary),
the sacrament of Baptism, catechisation,
covenant relationship and
confirmation, the Sunday school and the
baptized child, the Lord's Supper, the
preparatory service, the ChurAi and her
mission, the Church's claim, reasons
for uniting with the church. Part 111
gives Tilings Practical in Life and Service,
the Christian life, duties of church
members, Christian prayer, the principles
of Christian worship, Luthern worship,
home-nurture and family worship,
missions in the Sunday school, Christian
giving, Christian nurture by work and
service. Of course the Lutheran views
of the Lord's Supper and Baptismal
grace receive special attention, as does
the important part Luther played in reformation
history. But the book is in
every way worthy of a great church.
We see here the successful efforts of
a large denomination to contribute
something definite to intelligent and increased
efficiency on the part of its leading
churchmen and the rank and hie of
its membership. There is much worth
while learning from these good brethren
in regard of the type and method
of training needed especially by Sunday
school teachers and officers of today.

Baptism and the Lord's Supper give the
Baptist view. Otherwise the book is
characterised by a uice subordination of
all tecnnical treatment of the science of
pedagogy to the presentation of the
religious significance of the work to be
accomplished, a point so often wanting
in some teacher training literature.
Advanced Standard Course, First
Year, "Studies of the Books of the
Bible," by Marion Stevenson consists of
fifty lessons on the constituent books
of Holy Writ and their analyses, with
references, and quizzes attached. The
bookB of the Old Testament are assorted
according to divisions of ? *?
_ V* cue utoiory into
the Chosen People, the Kingdom, the
Province, the Sacred Writings, and the
Gospels and the Acts, Paul's Epistles
(exclusive of Hebrews), the general
Epistles and Revelations (from Hebrews
through the Apocalypse), and
the Eternal Purpose?under the New
Testament section. This is a very practical
and reasonably successful attempt
to guide prospective or existing teachers
of "Ihe Christian Church" into a
living familiarity with the fundamental
structure, meaning, and messages of
the several books of the Bible.
