The Sunday School World for May appears in a neat cover, into which is packed the usual number and variety of valuable articles found in this excellent Sunday school monthly--Rev. Charles S. Robinson, D.D., treats on "Lesson Helps;" Rev. George E. Post, Syria, of "The Fig Tree;" Rev. William Ormiston, D.D., sketches the character of "Elisha;" Mrs. W. F. Crafts explains "The Kindergarten," as applied to Sunday schools. Added to these are Dr. John Hall's Lessons, Mrs. Knox's "Primary Talks;" Lessons Applied; a Bible Concert Exercise, and the usual editorials, making an interesting, varied and valuable amount of reading for the Sunday school worker which he would find it difficult to procure elsewhere at three times the cost of The World.

It finds the material growing so rapidly upon its hands that in addition to the regular monthly there will be a monthly supplement issued, beginning with June. The supplement will be of the same style, and almost the same size, as the monthly. Subscription price $3, or both for $7. The American Naturalist.
