DARKNESS AND DAYLIGHT IN bEW YORK.

"Darkest New York." Her heavenly mission gained for her access to
their homes and hearts, and brought her face to face with the great underworld of New York by day and by night. Her story is overflowing with
wonderfully touching and pathetic incidents. Her narrative describing
how all night missionaries search for the lost; of the marvelous effect of
familiar hymns sung in haunts of vice; of the life of homeless girls, street
and newsboys, etc., is a story that will draw tears of compassion from
every eye. She conducts us to cellar haunts and stale-beer dives, where
rescue bands and mission workers go down into the depths of desolation
and woe in the spirit of Christ to rescue the perishing.
No one but a tender-hearted woman could so touchingly describe these
scenes. She also gives the bright side which Christian effort has produced,
for this book possesses a humor all its own, and the reader is often moved
to uncontrollable laughter in spite of every effort to control his feelings.
Rev. Lyman Abbot says in his Introduction:"My interest in these phases of city life dates from my college days, when in a boyish
way I made studies of the lower wards of the great metropolis. From that day to this - orer
a third of a century - I have continued the studies then begun, and the subject of this book
has been one of the subjects of my study--sometimes in literature, often in life. gW The
present volume is the best picture of New York city life with which I am acquainted. The
wonderful story it tells and the photographic pictures with which it is so splendidly illustrated
are unusually familiar to me, and this familiarity enables me to bear testimony to tie realism
and truth of this volume."
Bright, pure, elevating, and good from beginning to end, this
is in every sense a book for Christian homes, and for the young and old of
the family circle.
