A study of the cities of Tarsus, Tyana, Ancyra, Philippi, Old and New Corinth, Ephesus, Colossai, and Thessalonica, which not only shows the setting of the Apostle’s life and helps to our understanding of the Pauline epistles, but points out that the Apostle encountered the same vices, social, political, and commercial, that threaten our own municipalities today, and shows how he dealt with them.

Wylie, Edna Edwards. Ward of the sewing-circle, [†]$1. Little.
Orphaned Johnny Beal becomes the little “human hand-me-down” of the Smithville sewing-circle. Each member takes charge of him for two months at a time, and with all the divided management, it is no wonder that the little fellow jumbles his various parting injunctions. His only solace is Tab, his cat which kind fate smuggles past the wrathy spots in his foster mothers’ tempers.
Wyllie, William Lionel, and Wyllie, M. A. London to the Nore; painted and described by W. L. and M. A. Wyllie. [*]$6. Macmillan.
This volume “deals with territory between the metropolis and the sea, and is included in the ‘Beautiful book’ series.... It is described by Mrs Wyllie and the many colored pictures and other sketches are by W. L. Wyllie, A. R. A. The party ‘does’ London to the Nore, along the Thames, and the Medway to Rochester. The book is made up of a series of traveler’s impressions with what might be called a partly historical and partly contemporaneous background.”—N. Y. Times.
“In Mr. Wyllie’s pictures in ‘London to the Nore,’ we are struck chiefly by the wholesome sentiment and the microscopic eye. Mrs. Wyllie’s text is a too frivolous accompaniment.”
