GEMS OF TRUTH IN SIMPLE SETTINGS

Templar Printing, Birmingham, no date but preface dated 1918.  Hard cover, 142 pages.  Some edge wear, corners bumped, spine ends worn with a bit of fraying and tiny losses to cloth; some spots on boards.  Binding cracked in spots with all pages secure; black & white frontis of author; interior clean and unmarked with lightly tanned pages; some black & white illustrations, songs including musical scores.  ‘It has long been the desire of the Author to place within the reach of our boys and girls the Truth, as it is revealed in the Scriptures, in plain and simple language, while in attractive and interesting form.  Every doctrine of vital importance is briefly touched upon, and the whole plan of Salvation clearly revealed in verse and prose: the Bible Search-texts affording opportunity for acquiring a personal knowledge of the same.  Sin is pointed out to be exceedingly displeasing to God, and many practical lessons are given for help and guidance in the right way.  The Bible Readers’ Calendar is intended to encourage daily reading, and may prove of value to those who have no set portions.’ (from Preface)
