Stories from the Lives of Moses and Joshua. By Joseph
Johnson. (Religious Tract Society.)—This is an excellent addition to the series which, designated "Stepping-Stones to Bible History," is so well adapted for Biblical teaching. It gives in simple, straightforward English, the leading stories told in the books of Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua,—the stories of "the
deliverance, the wandering, the wilderness, and the final settle- ment of the children of Israel in the Land of Canaan." It is well illustrated with maps and pictures which have indubitably the air of reality. The author, although he looks at the events of which he treats in the spirit of the simple Christian woman of Cowper's poem, occasionally avails himself of the modern light which has been thrown upon the Bible, as when he mentions the fact that the hill of Gaash, on the north side of which Joshua was buried, has recently been discovered.
