The

'We recommend this volume of genuine poetry as one of the best giftbooks of the season.'- Our Own Fireside.

'Mr. Washington Moon's minor poems have deservedly reached a second edition; some of them being of great beauty.'-The John Bull.

'As in his former poem, "Elijah the Prophet", so in the present, there are passages which our first poets would not have needed to be ashamed to own.'-The Friend.

'Mr. Moon's name is familiar to the reading world as that of a true, gentle, and thoughtful poet, and a keen critic.'-The Witness (Halifax, N.S.):

'Mr. Moon's minor poems have a polished beauty and earnestness of feeling, which will secure for some among them a lasting place in English sacred poetry. They are of elevated morality, of fervent devotion, and of fascinating eloquence in song.'-The St. James's Chronicle.

'It is with fear and trembling that one takes up any poem which seems, by its subject, to trench upon the sphere of Milton's great work. Yet here' we have one which is so good as to need no apology.'-The Orb.

"The author of "Eden" has dared to enter the realm where Milton reigns supreme; and in so doing has exhibited an audacity which, in less competent hands, would only have led to deserved contempt. Mr. Washington Moon is an accomplished and scholarly writer, and this volume will add to his reputation.'-The Court Circular.

'We are not surprised that Mr. Moon's beautiful little volume of poetry as reached a second edition. The poetry is really chaste and beautiful. A sweeter little poem than "Eden" itself we have not read for some time; and several of the smaller pieces, too, are marked with great tenderness, and, withal, much sublimity of thought '—Evangelical Christendom.

Extracts from Reviews.

'We cordially recommend this book.'-The Christian Ambassador. 'It is calculated to do immense good.' - The Home Journal (Philadelphia, U.S.A.).

'It is a Scripture text-book of unequalled excellence.' — The General Baptist Magazine.

'It is the most attractive and useful work of the kind we have yet seen.' -The Sunday-School Teacher.

'We can have no hesitation in recommending it to favourable notice.'— The British Friend.

'It is an exceedingly valuable little book, which many devout persons will, we think, be glad to possess.'-The Christian Observer.

'It is a compilation of rare excellence, very far superior to any other book of the kind we have seen.'-The Presbyterian Witness (Halifax, N.S.). 'It is the best birthday text-book we have seen. Most instructive, suggestive, striking, valuable. Far better than anything of the kind before in print. The Sword and Trowel.

The striking way in which the grand doctrines of Christianity are set forth one after another must make this pretty little work much valued.'-The Daily Witness (Montreal).

'A happy idea happily carried out. All the great questions which man can ask about GOD and CHRIST and himself, the life that now is, and the life to come, are here asked and answered in Scripture language.'- The Freeman.

'What could be happier than the thought to arrange a diary in such a manner that, open it where we may, we light upon some divine words of counsel or of comfort, borrowed from the Sacred Oracles? This year-book of Scripture texts ought to win the widest popularity.'- The St. James's Chronicle.

.

'It would not be a difficult task, for any person of ordinary mental power, to commit to memory day by day all the questions and answers in this book; by doing which he would, in a year, have possessed himself of a rich treasury of Scripture truth that would afford unfailing light, strength, and consolation in all the varied circumstances of life.'-The Christian Guardian (Toronto).

'Among selections of texts for daily reading and meditation, we have seen few equal to this, Every word of GOD is good and helpful to the soul, but this book contains the result of much profound Scripture study, and is at once a mine of rich theology and a manual of practical piety. It is most valuable, and should be heartily welcomed in Christian homes.'-The Scottish Sabbath-School Teachers' Magazine.
