By Fannie E. Newberry
A tale of the times of the early followers of Jesus, and how they lived the “Christ-life” in the first century. As “Titus” gave the reader a picture of the life and times of Christ, so this book is intended to portray the life and times of the early Church.
The plot is fascinating—a story for both young and old. Its Oriental setting, description of quaint customs, manners, beliefs, etc., give it a peculiar interest and attractiveness all its own.

Out of the Triangle
By MARY E. BAMFORD.
This is a story of the days of persecution of Christians under the Emperor Septimius Severus. The scene is mainly laid in Alexandria and the Libyan Desert. The Egyptian gods were worshiped under the form of a small triangular stone. The book relates in a vivid and intensely interesting manner the narrow escapes of an Egyptian lad who has become a Christian, and the manner in which his family accept his faith and escape from Alexandria.
