The education of the young in Scripture knowledge, beginning very early in life, is of vital importance. In this work, the Mother’s Catechism, an excellent booklet by the eminent Rev. John Willison of Dundee, has proved to be very helpful. It has been out of print in recent years, and quite unobtainable. Messrs. Collins & Sons, the former publishers, informed us that they had to melt the plates and would not be republishing it. We obtained an estimate from Messrs. Cunningham of Alva for the printing of 5,000 copies, and the Synod approved of this offer. We expect delivery in February and it is hoped that every congregation will order a supply early. They should be in every home, and school teachers, by introducing them to children, can do a useful work. They are likely to be in booksellers’ and newsagents’ shops in due course, but they can be had direct from Rev. W. Grant, Halkirk, Caithness, and Mr. E. Alexander, 137 West Graham Street, Glasgow. The price is slightly less than actual cost:—per copy 2d. (by post 3d); post free—12 copies 2/-; 100 copies 15/-.—W. G.
