The Westminster Series

of Lesson helps and Illustrated Papers.

A few reasons why Presbyterian Sabbath-Schools should use the Lesson Helps and Illustrated Papers issued by their Board of Publication, in preference to any others.

Because the General Assembly has repeatedly urged "that
our schools employ the Westminster Sabbath-school Helps
to the exclusion of other and especially of irresponsible
lesson systems."

2. Because they are carefully prepared for the use of the
teachers and scholars of the Presbyterian Church.

3. Because comparing them with those of other denomination-
al Boards and undenominational publishing houses, in the
words of the Michigan Presbyterian, "For price they are as
low as any of them; lower than any of at all similar
excellence. For quality there is absolutely no compar-
ison."

The Presbyterian Review (Toronto, Canada), says: "The
graded Sunday-school Helps, edited by the Rev. J. R.
Miller, D. D., and published by the Presbyterian Board
of Publication, Philadelphia, are as near perfection in their
way as they can well be."
