College and university courses comprise books in which the subject matter is made plain by pictures, and all scientific; and technical work-everywhere is ac curately demonstrated by ’‘diagrams and drawings. Almost all of the periodicals, including dailies, week- Iies and monthlies are illustrated and many books of fiction ‘also use illus- trations which bring out particular roints in the text, It has been left to the publishers of the Bible to which The Pioneer is distributing to illustrate this greatest of all historical and - educational works. The publication of this Bible was undertaken with full knowledge of the fact that there were already in existence a considerable variety Gf eminently satisfactory - editions, some of them possessitig a degree of merit that would seem to render improvement impossible. But all of them, superb though they are, lack cne important feature, viz: Direct and helpful illustrations. The New Tlustrated Bible supplies this defi- ciency. In it the other essentials of perfection have been retained—the typcgraphy, mechanical self-pronouncing features, marginal references, colored maps, etc., being unexcelled by any other edition; while the hundreds of original text illustrations give to it a distinctive character that entirely separates it|CLAINED” from all others. This Bible is not a mere pjcture book. It is a high art production. The 600 illustrations are from orig- inal paintings and drawings which constitute a wonderful gallery of art. To this branch of the work were called the greatest of living artists, and it is to their intelligent concep- tion of the work, and to their mas- terly skill in the portrayal of appro- priate scenes that the peculiar excel- lence of this Bible is mainly due. Every picture is a complete study in itself. Events that have been imper- fectly comprehended become invested with the charm of living reality; and places that have séemed far off are made familiar, as though we our- selves had trod the hills and valleys with the prophets and disciples .of old. This really 'superb edition has an educational mission to perform, in {lluminating and’¥ivifying the Bible narrative and”giving it, as never before, a present, living, hu- man interest. 4 Clip the certificate” from another page of this issue and” read The Pioneer’s plan of distribution which fs fully explained theretnder. - INAUGURATION ANNIVERSARY.
