When the magazine-boy chucked "Ballou's Dollar Monthly" into her lap, she jumped, and said, "Oh, thank you!" and she was quite overcome by the successive gifts, as she supposed, of a paper of pop-corn, a paper of lozenges, and a "prize package," containing six envelopes, six sheets of note-paper, six pens, a wooden pen-handle and a "piece of jewelry," all for twenty-five cents!
Why is it that one man, ten, a hundred, may not break the law of God, but a great number may?" And here is a version of Ballou's catechism composed for his flock: CATECHISM OF NON-RESISTANCE. Q. Whence is the word "non-resistance" derived? A. From the command, "Resist not evil." Q. What does this word express? A. It expresses a lofty Christian virtue enjoined on us by Christ.
This collection comprising several hundred choice specimens, selected with special reference to purposes of instruction, has been received, mounted and set up in cases specially designed for the purpose. The library has had, on the whole, a very satisfactory growth. Dr. Ballou's extraordinary love for books led him to bestow particular attention upon its formation.
