«The multitude think to , clear their debt to the un- ; known by prayer, chant or song. Are they willing to receive like payment from their human debtors? Let one of the latter hopefully carol at the door of a bank and note the result!” This extract is a typical example of the sledge-hammer style of argument & used in the new book, SEARCHING FOR TRUTH, written by an Ameri- can business man and offered asthe result of ten years of earnest effort to determine the rules of right living as against the principles and teachings of the creeds. SEARCHING FOR TRUTH, is a most remarkable book, of absorbing interest from cover to cover. It is not intended for babes or weaklings, but solely for those who seck the truth and can, without a shudder, watch the demolition of con- ventional beliefs. Ie neither strains at gnats nor swallows camels. It speaks the truth as the author sees it, freely and frankly. Ask your bookseller for SEARCH- { ING FOR TRUTH.

C., London Write for prospectus containing copious extracts from the beck «Why should the drunk- ard submit to judgment from a slave to the corset, dragging skirt or tight shoe? Why listen to the pedant who has ruined eye-sight in liter- ary debauch, or learn of modera- tion from the hectic dyspeptic?” SEARCHING FOR TRUTH, from which the above is a quotation, is a book by an American business man, which discusses a!! the moot questions of life, death ana che hereafter. This book is written from an altogether new point of view ; the common sense view of a business man who weighs the evidence in the balance and makes his decisions accordingly. He has no respect for creeds, for dogmas, for tra- ditions nor for anything else which shrinks from the searchlight of truth, This is a book which every honest thinker should read and in which the blind followers of the blind will find no pleasure, It strips the cloak from error and hypocrisy with a merciless hand.
