But I cannot write all I would say to you, dearest father. When we meet—which you rejoice me in saying, will be on the first day of the week, at Jerusalem—I will unfold to you all that the divine and glorified Jesus has taught me. Doubt not that he is Messias. Hesitate not to accept him; for he is the end of Moses, and of the Law, and of the Prophets, the very Shiloh who should come and restore all things; to whom be glory, power, dominion, majesty, and excellency, evermore.
Your loving daughter,
Adina.

| No. 5. August, 1898. The Days of Mohammed By ANNA MAY WILSON. Selected as being the best manuscript offered during the contest of 1897, and awarded the prize of $1,000. Yusuf, a Persian of the fire-worshiping sect, has, at his first sacrifice of a human life, revolted against the horror of his religion, and he decides to leave Persia in search of Truth. In his travels he meets that strangest character of ancient or medieval times, Mohammed. The scene is confined almost entirely to Arabia. | No. 8. November, 1898. A Star in a Prison A TALE OF CANADA. By ANNA MAY WILSON. The central figure of the story is a young man who, being placed in the penitentiary on circumstantial evidence, there learns to understand the spirit of Christ's self-giving, and is finally set free through the instrumentality of a Christian doctor. |

In addition to those mentioned above, a new book will be issued every month. It is our intention to make this the best, cheapest and most complete Sunday-school Library in the world. Nothing so comprehensive has ever been attempted. The exceedingly low price at which the pamphlet (5-cent) edition of this Library is offered is regarded as a remarkable achievement, and one that no publishing house, unless fully and thoroughly equipped with modern machinery and ample facilities, would attempt. Each book comprises a complete story in one volume. The five-cent editions are as large and handsome as most books usually sold for twenty-five cents. The cloth (twenty-five-cent) editions are worthy a place in any library, and are as good value as books usually sold for fifty cents to one dollar.
In literary merit they have no superiors and few equals. These books are carefully written by the best authors, and are especially adapted for home reading. Young and old alike enjoy and appreciate them. Nothing of an objectionable nature is admitted, and they all inculcate teachings that will strengthen noble impulses and improve character. Although of great interest to the general reader, they are in no way sensational or demoralizing. We have aimed in these books to furnish to the young the purest books that the best authors are capable of writing. Some of them are prize-winners and have attained a wide reputation.
The five-cent edition of these books is admirably adapted for Sunday-school use, either for the library or as presents to classes or the whole school. Every Sunday-school in the land should subscribe regularly for several copies of the New Sabbath Library, and thus be certain of getting promptly the new numbers as they are published each month. Subscriptions received for an entire year or any number of months. Single copies, or any quantity of any special book, promptly sent on receipt of price.
