“THE GOSPEL PRIMER”
L. T. NICOLA
IT is needless for us to say that the “Gospel Primer” is one of the best helps for canvassers that has ever been produced. We invite special attention to the accompanying description. We bespeak for the “Primer,” a continuation of the liberal patronage it has enjoyed, and trust that the next twenty months will show that more than one hundred and seventy-five thousand copies will have been sold. GCB October 1895, page 592.1
In the revised form, the “Gospel Primer” contains much more present truth than it did in former editions; and even then it was the means of leading some souls to an acceptance of the truth. It is one of our best books for the holiday trade. GCB October 1895, page 592.2
A GOOD RECOMMENDATION: GCB October 1895, page 592.3
COPIES 175,000 COPIES SOLD IN TWENTY MONTHS! GCB October 1895, page 592.4
The Gospel Primer
Contains 160 pages of matter, which will interest the old as well as the young. GCB October 1895, page 592.5
There are thirty-three full-page illustrations, which, in themselves, teach many gospel truths. GCB October 1895, page 592.6
The book has been re-written, and such additions have been made as it was thought would be of profit to its readers. Considerable prominence and much thought have been given the GCB October 1895, page 592.7
WORD-METHOD DEPARTMENT
It is not only desirable that the child should learn to read well in as few lessons as possible, but it is of greater importance that the mind should be developed spiritually while thus engaged. In the twenty-two pages devoted to this method, the child may learn to revere its Maker, and to love all for whom the Saviour gave his life. Such lessons, so early learned, are not easily forgotten. GCB October 1895, page 592.8
With the words which have been taught in the word method, a short story has been written on the Creation. A few new words are introduced in this account of God’s work in the beginning, and a practical lesson is taught of the power, wisdom, and stability of God’s word. GCB October 1895, page 592.9
The same style and purpose is carried out in writing on other subjects. The aim is to keep the mind upon the things of God while teaching the child to read, and thus lead him to remember his Creator in the days of his youth. GCB October 1895, page 592.10
The book has been enlarged by the addition of thirty-two pages of valuable matter. It is a most desirable book for teaching, as well as a pleasant and attractive feature of the home. It is beautifully illustrated, printed on fine paper, and well bound in three styles, at the following low GCB October 1895, page 592.11
