FORTY-EIGHTH WEEK.

Lesson 236.-Learn for Monday Morning.

TRUE PATRIOTISM.

Is he not in reality the truest patriot who fills up his station in private life well; he who loves and promotes peace both public and private; who, knowing that his country's prosperity depends much more on its virtues than its arms, resolves that his individual endeavours shall not be wanting to promote this desirable end? And is he not the greatest hero who is able to despise public honours for the sake of private usefulness; he who has learned to subdue his own inclinations, to deny himself those gratifications which are inconsistent with virtue and piety, who has conquered his passions and brought them low even as a child that is weaned; is not such a man greater than he who taketh a city, sheddeth blood as it were water, or calls for the thundering applause of assembled multitudes ?-Taylor.

OR ELSE LEARN Psalm xxxix.

READING BOOKS.

The Scripture Reading Book. F'cap 8vo, bound in strong cloth, price 18. 6d. Containing a series of lessons from Holy Scripture for the use of schools and private families. By Rev. A. ADAMS, M.A., Rector of St. Thomas's, Manchester. The SCRIPTURE READING Book is to enable teachers to put into the hands of their scholars a series of narratives, didactic and prophetical selections from Holy Scripture, which will give a comprehensive view of the sacred volume without necessitating its constant use. At the same time it should

be remembered that it is not intended to attempt to drive the Bible from the school, but rather to form a basis upon which the future study of the Bible may become more easy and profitable.

"This volume contains a capital collection of readings from Scripture in the language of the Bible. There is no comment that is left to the teacher himself. To those who object to certain passages in the Bible we can commend this volume. The selections do credit to the judgment of the compiler, and any teacher will be able to make a selection of readings for different classes."-Educational Reporter, Oct. 4, 1872.

* * "Mr. Adams has very cleverly constructed one continuous narrative from the four Gospels, without any alteration of the text. Beyond question the editor has done his work well."-School Board Chronicle, Dec, 14, 1872.

"The compiler's design is to put into the hands of learners such a series of narratives, didactic and prophetical selections from Holy Scripture, as will suffice to give a comprehensive view of the sacred volume, without necessitating its constant use."-Church Herald, Sept., 1872.
