By LYMAN ABBOTT

In the first chapter of this companion volume to "The Other Room," Dr. Abbott says: "It is because I believe that God is the Great Companion, that we are not left orphans, that we may have comradeship with Him, that I have written these pages. Not to demonstrate any truth, but to give expression to a living, inspiring, dominating faith."

As "The Other Room" makes its appeal especially to those who are shadowed by bereavement or perplexed with the mystery of death, so this book carries help and encouragement for those who are living in the midst of life, and find it, too, a mystery. It is the product of Dr. Abbott's ripest thought, and deals with a theme that has long been his study. It is a witness to the immanence of God in nature and life and the daily walks of men.

THE OTHER ROOM

By LYMAN ABBOTT

"Books which have for their purpose to cheer the heart of man with the assurance of immortality and to give dignity to the life of man by linking it with life eternal, have a perennial timeliness. The eight chapters of this little book are studies in the resurrection of Christ, the resurrection of man, and the life everlasting. They are profoundly thoughtful; even more profoundly spiritual."

Christian Evangelist. "A book which will prove full of comfort to those who mourn the loss of dear friends."

A Cathedral Pilgrimage

By JULIA C. R. DORR

"To many minds both profound and cultured, to many natures that are both sensitive and appreciative, the English cathedrals make no special appeal. It is largely a matter of temperament. There are others to whom they have so much to say that it is overpowering. For them every stone has a voice, every aisle a message. The great, sombre towers bring them strength and healing; the soaring spires lift them above earth and its weariness into an atmosphere where all is space."

From the Author's Preface.

Translated by FRANCIS GREENWOOD PEABODY
Plummer Professor of Christian Morals,

"The author makes his appeal not to discussion, but to life ; that which draws readers to the Bern professor is his capacity to maintain in the midst of important duties of public service and scientific activity an unusual detachment of desire and an interior quietness of mind.”

vivid and true in imagery, delicately clear and beautiful
