NEW BOOKS.
PURPOSE. Ry Miss Bates, author of “Paul
Venner,” “The Climbers,” "Gabled House,’
etc. New York: American Tract Society.
Price SI.
The title tells, in a word, what the book is.
The hero, only a poor fatherless boy, has a
noble purpose. This was 710 less than to sup
port his widowed mother and young sister.
Struggling on amid most adverse circum
stances, he realized the truth that “God helps
those who help themselves.” He succeeded
in life, and became a noble Christian man.
Every hoy ought to read it.
