the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for 8 the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know 4 that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, 9 even as he walked. Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word 8 which ye have heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the 9 true light now shineth. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is 11 none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

LESSON CCCLXXXVIII.

Exhortation to brotherly Love.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is 9 love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, 10 that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we

that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given
us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that
the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God,
God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have
known and believed the love that God hath to us. God
is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God,
and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that
we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because
as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in
love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath
torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
We love him, because he first loved us.
If a man say,
I
love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar. For he
that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can
he love God whom he hath not seen? And this com-
mandment have we from him, That he who loveth God
love his brother also.

LESSON CCCLXXXIX.

The new Heaven and the new Earth.

CH. XXI. | And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and 2 there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, 8 prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And 1 heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there

4

be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these ⚫ words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

LESSON CCCXC.

Invitation.-Warning-Blessing.

I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things have sent mine angel to

unto you these

morning star. And

17 spring of David, and the bright and
the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that
heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come.
And whosoever will, let him take the water of life
18 freely. For I testify unto every man that heareth the

words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues 19 that are written in this book: And if any man shall take

away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

In its Highest and Best Exemplification will be found in the

following books :

Sheldon's General History. This book gives a collection of historic material which may be dealt with first-hand, as the pupil deals with the actual substance in Chemistry, and with the living plant in Botany, thus stimulating his historic sense and judgment. In wide and increasing use. ($1.60.)

Sheldon's Greek and Roman History.-Contains the first 250 pages of the General History bound in this form for college preparatory. ($1.00.)

Hodgkin's Nineteenth Century Authors. — A laboratory method in Literature. The plan is to give concerning each author the date of his birth and death, a list of biographical writings concerning him, a list of significant facts in his life, the names of contemporary writers, a list of choice selections from his writings, a list of his best books, and a list of selected books regarding him. ($1.00.)

Shepard's Elements of Chemistry.— This book is a practical embodiment of the modern spirit of investigation. It places the student in the position of an investigator, and calls into play mental faculties that are too often wholly neglected. It leads him to experiment, to observe, to think, to originate. In successful use in more than 250 schools and colleges. ($1.12.) (Briefer CoursSE, 60 cts.)

Colton's Practical Zoology. This book tells the student where to find his specimens; how to observe their habits and habitats; their metaphorphoses and modes of development; how to collect and preserve; and, finally, how to dissect them. In short, it is a GUIDE to the study of animals rather than a mere descriptive zoology. (80 cts.)

Chute's Practical Physics. This book consists of a series of carefully selected exercises, both qualitative and quantitative in character, with directions regarding the preparation of apparatus, and the manner of conducting the experiments, together with suggestions about observing, note-taking and making inferences from data. ($1.12.)

The above books are only a few from the many that we publish for High Schools and Academies. We have a full series in French and German, and excellent works in Geology, Latin, Natural History, English, etc. Teachers looking for the BEST books should write for our complete catalogue, stating in what subjects they are specially interested.
