Snow lie n's Sunday-school Lessons.
By James H. Snowden. Publishers,
The Macmillan Company, New York.
Price $1.25. This commentary on the
Sunday-school lessons is a recent
clamant for favor. The first volume
by this author was published last year.
But it has none of the weaknesses of
youth. Its comments on the lessons
are brief, concise, pointed and prac
tical. It Is not so critical in the treat
ment of the lessons as are some of
the other helps. It is more devotional
bringing out the spiritual side of the
reader's nature. This book will be
very helpful for teachers and schol
ars of the higher grades in the Sunday
Schools.

thanksgiving and praise. God blessed
His acrfe. One man remarked that he
planted the poorest acre on his farm
and it made the most cotton. An
other, that he used almost no ferti
lizer on his, yet it made more than
any acre on the farm. One lady gave
two turkeys which brought ten dol
lars, showing what the women can
do. A widow and her daughter do
nated sixty dollars and there were
many other contributions in money
also. A prosperous farmer who lives
in Philadelphus community, but is a
member of another church, gave a
beautiful calf, which sold for twenty
dollars. The two largest contributions
were from two bales of cotton. Each
brought $162.50.
The total amount raised was
around $1,700. Truly the Lord hath
done great things for us whereof we
are glad, and we cry out with the
Psalmist, "Praise ye the Lord."
