Transcriber's Notes:
Hyphenation is inconsistent and has been left as in the original; archaic spelling has been retained. Punctuation has been normalised and obvious printer errors corrected.
Some illustrations were originally located in the middle of paragraphs. These have been adjusted to not interrupt the flow of reading. In some cases this means that the page number that the illustration was originally on is not visible.
Page 65 "if they speak not according to this word" transcriber supplied missing word 'this'.
Page 302 "the story of Christian effort" transcriber supplied missing word 'of'.
