MAGAZINES.

It is very desirable to get good magazines taken in by the parishioners. They are the most effectual means of occupying the ground against hurtful publications, and serial stories running on keep up the interest. If a shopkeeper can be made an agent, with a small percentage, the affair will thrive, as children’s magazines may be subscribed for at school.

870. Little One’s Own Picture Paper. (Dean) 1d.

The pictures are wonderfully good, so are the verses. Capital for showing to the infant class at a Sunday school.

871. The Rosebud. (Clarke & Co.) 1d.

For very small children.

872. The Children’s Pictorial. (S.P.C.K.) 2d.

Full of chromolithographs; but the stories are not serial, and this some children do not like.

873. The Prize. (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) 1d.

This bears a highly coloured ‘picture,’ and is greatly liked.
