349. The Gate of Paradise. By Edith S. Jacob. (Rivingtons) 6d. and 1s.
350. The Vision of the Holy Child. By Edith S. Jacob. (Rivingtons) 1s. 6d.
Very beautiful and touching dreams. The first is either appropriate for Easter Eve or to a house of recent bereavement; the second is a Christmas vision.
351. Parables from Nature. By Mrs. Gatty. (S.P.C.K.) Four series, to be had at 7s. 6d. in 2 vols. Selections, 2 vols. 1s. each.
The Selections might be most useful, as some of the others are too difficult for the present purpose. No praise is needed for these. Several, if read with children, are very successful.
352. Earth’s Many Voices. (S.P.C.K.) 1st and 2nd Series. 2s. each.
In the style of Mrs. Gatty.
353. The Man on the Top of the Ark. (Nisbet) 1s.
The flood, the brazen serpent, and the city of refuge are here drawn out in their typical meaning. They are very effective. In the first, there is the serious defect that there is no explanation how to enter the ark, but to add the text, ‘The like figure whereunto even Baptism, etc.,’ gives the key.
