record of our Sunday Schools from the time of the organization of the first one in Utah, in December, 1849, to December, 1899, covering a period of fifty years. In the fore part of the work, the general Sunday School movement among the Latter-day Saints is briefly treated. Following this is a short historical sketch of each stake and ward Sunday School organization in Zion, with reports of the mission Sunday Schools of The Church. A complete report of the proceedings of the grand Sunday School jubilee celebration, held in the Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, October 8, 1899, is also given. This work is embellished with nine half-tone engravings, containing portraits of the general Sunday School officers, members of the first Sabbath School in Utah, stake superintendents, representatives of nations, etc. The volume, which contains 546 pages, handsomely printed, and neatly bound in cloth, represents a great amount of care and labor in collecting the information it contains. It is a very useful work of reference, and of special interest to the vast army of Sunday School workers in Zion. The book is published and for sale by the Deseret Sunday School Union, Salt Lake City, and is to be had for the small sum '

of $1.00.
