THE HOME AT BETHANY: Its Joys, its Sorrows, and its Divine Guest. By the Rev. James Culross, D.D. 2s. 6d. cloth boards.

"In seven chapters Dr. Culross tells us of the Home at Bethany, of its joys and sorrows, and of its Divine Guest. He makes us see the scenery of Bethany, 80 graphically does he describe it; he brings us into the company of Martha and Mary and their brother, and step by step he leads us through the events recorded in the eleventh chapter of John's Gospel. Tenderly, with a deep sympathy with human sorrow, does he

Crown 8vo.,

speak to us of sickness and death, with living insight does he dwell on the fact that Jesus tarried while Lazarus lay a-dying, and in truth this little book is a valuable commentary on the great events of the death and raising of Lazarus from the dead. But it is more, for there is a chapter added to describe the scene and enforce the lessons of the anointing at Bethany. This is a pleasant and an instructive volume." Edinburgh Daily Review.

THE

GREATNESS OF LITTLE THINGS

BY

JAMES CULROSS, D.D.

AUTHOR OF

"THE HOME At Bethany: its JOYS, ITS Sorrows, and its DIVINE GUEST."

"Who hath despised the day of small things?"

"Truly, I reiterate, . . . nothing's small!

No lily-muffled hum of a summer bee,

But finds some coupling with the spinning stars;
No pebble at your feet, but proves a star;
No chaffinch, but implies the cherubim ;

And-glancing at my own thin, veined wrist-
In such a little tremour of the blood

The whole strong clamour of a vehement soul.
Doth utter itself distinct."
