_Sturgeon's Authorization._--"Messrs. I. K. Funk & Co. have entered into an arrangement with me to reprint THE TREASURY OF DAVID in the United States. I have every confidence in them that they will issue it correctly and worthily. It has been the great literary work of my life, and I trust it will be as kindly received in America as in England. I wish for Messrs. Funk success in a venture which must involve a great risk and much outlay.

"Dec. 8, 1881. C. H. SPURGEON."

Complete in 7 volumes. First 6 volumes now complete.

_Philip Schaff, D.D., the Eminent Commentator and the President
of the American Bible Revision Committee_, says: "The most
important and practical work of the age on the Psalter is 'The
Treasury of David,' by Charles H. Spurgeon. It is full of the
force and genius of this celebrated preacher, and rich in
selections from the entire range of literature."

_William M. Taylor, D.D., New York_, says: "In the exposition
of the heart 'The Treasury of David' is _sui generis_ rich in
experience and pre-eminently devotional. The exposition is
always fresh. To the preacher it is especially suggestive."

_John Hall, D.D., New York_, says: "There are two questions
that must interest every expositor of the Divine Word. What
does a particular passage mean, and to what use is it to be
applied in public teaching? In the department of the latter Mr.
Spurgeon's great work on the Psalms is without an equal.
Eminently practical in his own teaching, he has collected in
these volumes the best thoughts of the best minds on the
Psalter, and especially of that great body loosely grouped
together as the Puritan divines. I am heartily glad that by
arrangements satisfactory to all concerned the Messrs. Funk &
Co. are about to bring this great work within the reach of
ministers everywhere, as the English edition is necessarily
expensive. I wish the highest success to the enterprise."

=_The Deems' Birthday Book._=

BY SARA KEABLES HUNT.

This book is being gotten up in beautiful style, making it a very acceptable present for birthdays or other occasions. It contains some hundreds of the choicest extracts of the writings and addresses of Dr. Charles F. Deems, the well-known pastor of the Church of the Strangers, New York.

These extracts are printed on the left-hand pages throughout the book. On the right-hand pages are printed the days of the year; two dates to each page, one at the top and one in the middle of the page; for example, on first date page, _January 1st_ is printed on the top, and _January 2d_ at the middle of the page. Under each date there is space for a number of friends to write their names, each name to be written under the date of the birth of the writer, so that at a glance at the book the owner can tell the birthday of each of his friends.

The book thus serves as a most convenient autograph album.

Each volume contains a number of _autographs_ of leading clergymen, as Spurgeon, John Hall, Canon Farrar, Phillips Brooks, etc., etc. At the close there are a number of blank pages on which are to be written, in alphabetical order, the names of all your friends contained in the book. The book has for a frontispiece a very fine vignette portrait of Dr. Deems.

What could be a more pleasing and appropriate present than this book? Every family should have one.

Price, cloth, plain edges, $1.00; gilt edges, $1.25.

=_The Diary of a Minister's Wife._=

BY ALMEDIA M. BROWN.

One editor says of it: "Some Itinerant's wife has been giving her experience out of meeting."

Says one who has lived in the family of a minister for over a quarter of a century: "It's funny; yes it's very funny; but it's true--it's all true. Let those who want to know the ups and downs of the life of a minister and his wife read this book."

Another reader says of it: "I have never read a book in which I was so much interested and amused at the same time. The story of the trials of Mrs. Hardscrabble with the Doolittles' alone is worth ten times the cost of the book. Every one should buy it, and let his minister and his wife read it."

Complete Edition, 12mo, 544 pages; Handsomely Bound in cloth. Price $1.50.

=_What Our Girls Ought to Know._=
