dollars, prior to printing, they have added expense to expense; increasing the number of the pictures, improving their quality by special outlay, adding to the number of pages, and exercising great pains to make sure that he who buys the book may get a good bargain.

The other item relates to the ILLUSTRATIONS, which have been taken from two principal sources: first, by careful selections from the wealth of photographic material, previously referred to, contributed by missionaries in every quarter of the globe, and by the officers of philanthropic and evangelistic organizations in Christian lands; and secondly, by equally careful selection from the great religious paintings of Christendom. The pictures so selected are themselves a Story in Art of the Triumphs of the Cross, and greatly add to the interest and power of the text which they illustrate.
