PERSONAL AND PRESS OPINIONS. From the Methodist Temperance Magazine.-"Here we have a story of romantic adventure and of noble Christian self-denial such as it would be difficult to match. The romance of fiction is nowhere beside this enchanting narrative, which is told in a style that enchains the reader." Bishop Hurst writes:-"I have read your latest work with intense interest. It is magnificent, entirely new in material, full of information, and ought to go everywhere-from Hudson's Bay to Patagonia, and from New York around the world, and back again to New York." From The Christian (London, Eng.):-“All who have read Mr. Young's fascinating book, 'By Canoe and Dog-Train,' will welcome this most entertaining companion volume. Missionary services in the far North-West a few years since took the workers into very romantic and adventurous surroundings, so that Mr. Young has found ample material of a deeply instructive sort. The work is profusely illustrated, and is altogether a unique product of missionary observation and experience." From the Methodist Times.-"The style is flowing, the stories exciting, and the information is reliable. We heartily commend this volume to all who love a good book, a good work, or a good man. It should prove of interest to many readers." From the Christian Age.—“Without doubt the most fascinating record of missionary enterprise ever published." From Lincolnshire Free Press. "His stories of work and adventure are not only smartly written, but they are exciting to a degree, and far more entertaining than many a popular novel." From Onward.-" An admirable sequel to By Canoe and Dog-Train, the English notices of which are of a most complimentary description. These two books ought to be in every library. The numerous engravings of this book are admirably drawn and well printed. We congratulate our friend on the success of his missionary volumes." WILLIAM BRIGGS, WESLEY BUILDINGS, 29-33 Richmond Street West Toronto. This splendid collection of Gospel Songs has met with wonderful popularity. We are selling them in hundreds. Much of the music is new-all is good-and the people like it. The American publishers write us, "Orders are coming from all directions. We are not sure but what the mantle of 'Gospel Songs' has fallen upon it." HOW OFTEN THE QUESTION Is asked by choir leaders, Where can I get a good collection of Gospel Male Quartets?

It consists of noonday sermons delivered a year or two back by the Rev. W. L. Watkinson, perhaps the most cultured, and certainly the most original, preacher of contemporary Methodism. The spiritual insight and ethical suggestiveness of these sermons is unquestionable; they are full of close reasoning, and in point of literary expression they reach a level which is far from common. Frequently the literary and social verdicts of the age are turned to telling account by the preacher, who also draws illustrations in support of his theme from the most recent conclusions of science."-The Speaker, "Touching the question of intemperance, the author refers to Mr. Matthieu Williams' contention that inebriety is not an unmitigated evil, that it forms a happy way of getting rid of the weak-minded and incapable members of the community. 'So, sarcastically exclaims Mr. Watkinson, alcohol is a splendid instrument of civilization! Drunkenness is one of Nature's exquisite arrangements for keeping things up to the mark!"-Christian Million. "Mr. Watkinson's sermons are marked by vigorous thinking, fresh handling of texts and subjects, apt and unhackneyed quotation, and felicitous illustration." Glasgow Herald. * "There are plenty of signs in this volume that the writer is a man of culture. Almost every page shows that he has read widely; and he makes the scientist, the philosopher, the poet and the novelist contribute to the elucidation and enforcement of the theme he has in hand."-From a Review.
