Given Away Within the last few weetcs there has been an overwhelming demand for a remarkable book v dealing with a subject of absorbing intereet, a subject that interests both young and old, rich and poor alike. This little volume does not asoead into the realms of visions; on the conr trary, it tears aside the curtain that so ofteÎí obscure our understanding of things, and it deals with plain, cold facts. It enlijJhtensthe man who is interested, and instructs and ro- forms the man who is ignorant. It tells of new fields and pastures green, and points—without fear or favour—tes where these fields and pas- tures lie. This is not a book for the library shelf. It is a book to be read, and can be read by the young aa well as the old. It will serve as a fund of information for the former and a source of inspiration to the latter.
