Notices of Books.

By the Editor.

Published by Partridge

POLISHED CORNER STONES; OR LETTERS TO SCHOOL GIRLS. By Popular Writers. & Co.

Price is.

These letters were first written for private circulation amongst about 300 scholars, belonging to the Christian Women's Education Union. They are now published, as it is thought that many would like to circulate them more widely amongst school girls. We gladly call attention to them, and sincerely recommend them. One of the letters is by Miss Nugent.

EVERY-DAY WORK IN THE HOUSEHOLD. A Book for Girls in Domestic Service. By Catherine Moss. Price Is. 6d. A most useful little book, which ought to be in every house, not only for the servants to read, but it would also do "the young ladies" great deal of good. It is full of practical hints, both for housekeepers and servants. Waiting at table, and almost every subject which could be thought of, is well handled. Those who wish for the book should

write direct for it to Miss C. Moss, Didsbury, Manchester.

Notices to our Readers.

"THE FIRESIDE PULPIT." The Subjects of the Sermons for this month are "The Living Water" (A Mission Sermon), and “Casting Burdens on the Lord." This serial can be ordered of any Bookseller. It is published by Messrs. Partridge & Co., who will send it monthly for Is. 6d. per annum, or a specimen number for 1d. in stamps. Friends who will help the circulation by distributing circulars of "The Fireside Pulpit" in their letters or otherwise, can write for a supply to the Rev. E. Boys, Sidcup, Kent. The publication of these Sermons is an experiment; and they will only be continued if the circulation shows that they are appreciated. See SPECIAL NOTICE last month (page 20).
