Sold by Jj^Lnurons DrugC^ Tub Famous New Book, "JMRKNK88 AND DAYLIGHT," or Lights and Shadows of New York Life. In (bis now and superb work a noble Ohrlstlan woman tells the thrilling story cf her personal ex perience in Gospel, temperence, mission, and rescue-work in a great city. No recent publication la now commanding so much attention nor has any other called forth such ringing words of "God-speed" from ministers and eminent women. Ii has been preached from famous pulpits,read by tens of thousands of subscribers, and made the sub ject of many a clergyman's Sunday evening lectures. Its authorship Is fourfold, its four authors being no less than:?Mrs. Helen Gamp bell, Rev. Lyman Abbott, D. D., Ool. Thomas W. Knox.and Inspec tor Thomas Byrnes, Chief of the New York Detective Bureau. Mrs. Campbell, the principal writer, certainly was a woman commissioned of God, and "In His Name"speut many years as a city missionary literally "In Darkest New Yopk." What r wonderful work sho did. How c oted and blessed her labors Wti2?j It is a story never to bo forgt - en. This unique volume presents these thrilling experiences of Christian endeavor with I ho hundreds of pa thetic and amusing scenes that were packed into them; it portrays life In a great city by day and night "As Seen by a Woman"; It shows the power of the Gospel to redeem, souls from the lowest depths; it gives striking testimon ies of the redeemed; and from all diese rich and varied experiences it draws living truths for head and heart that aro worth to any reader ten times the price of the book.? Mr?. Campbell's account of rescue work Is full of wonderfully touch ing incidents. Stranger stories are here told than romance ever dreamed of, every one of Ihem drawn from real lifo by a woman's band. In every chapter she weaves in anecdote?after anecdote, inci dent after incident, story after story, and the reader's attention is held breathless to the end of the volume. "Strange but most sug gestive is the fact," says Bishop Coke in warmly commending this volume,"that Christ is to be vis ited in these dens and dives; there aro those whom He will bear in mind when He says: "Ye visited me'; or, when he says: "Ye did It not to Me." Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott's life long interest in City Mission work, and bis personal share in that work, pre-eminently fitted him to write for this book. In his Intro duction to it he says? "My interest in these phases of city life dates from my college days. From that time to this?over a third of a century?I have con tinued the studies then begun, and the subject of this book has been one of the great subjects of my study?sometimes In literature, of ten in life." No appeal from temperance ad vocate can do more to promote the causo of temperance than the thrill ing scenes and incidents so well described, at least so says Mrs. Mary A. Livermore and Miss Fran cis E. Wlllard. One of the most nbsorbingly In teresting portions of the book Is that written by Inspector Byrnes giving the ripe experience of thirty years of detective life. Many of the startling revelations he makes are taken from his private diary. They have nover before been pub lished. This fascinating volume is in deed a wonderful tale of Christian lovo and faith, all alive with in tense and striking reality. The best of it is that it is a pure and ele vating book from beginning to end - a volume for the family use. On this point the words of R?v. Dr. Twlchell (who has a family of ten ichlldren) end Rev. Dr. Magoun, President Iowa College, aro worth quoting here: Dr. Twichell writes, ?"My wife says that sho is going to set our young peoploon the book right off, for the good it will do them"; and President Magoun says,?"My family finds, where other books on our ehelves lack Interest, this one always holds and rewards attention." It contains 252 superb engrav ings, overy one of them made from photographs taken from life-, most ly by flash-light. Every portrait is a face portrait, every scene a stern reality. In looking at these splen did illustrations the reader sees at a glance just how Gospel work is carried on by day 'and by night by rescue-hands, ,) he Is shown strange sights in out of the way places that are rarely or never seen by the casual visitor; he is taken into cheap lodging-houses, and col lars, Into the homes of the poor; In to newsboys' lodging-houses; into the the police and detective depart ments, etc.,?nothing seems to be omitted. We do not know when 740 pages have given us more genuine pleas ure. If wo speak warmly of the book, it is because it richly de serves it. It is sold only by agents, and is meeting with an enormous sale. Agents who Introduce such a work ought to bo cordially wel comed. A better work has cer tainly never come to our table. It will be rend over and over again by old and young, with ^ver In creasing pleasure and lasting pro fit. The work is published by the old and well-known firm of A. D.
