#10377 - February 1865 Sunday School Advocate Paper
This is a small 4 page newspaper the "Sunday School Advocate" that was published "for Sunday-School Teachers, Bible Class Scholars, and Younf People" during the Civil War. It was released twice a month, and cost twenty-five cents a year! It has nice steel engraving pictures in it. It has short articles about faith, life, civilization from an American Christian standpoint at that time. In a way, like modern Highlights Magazine but with a religious twist of gentle, encouraging "guidance" toward a better life. There are faint brown foxing spots. Sturdy, not crumbling. Left Margin is slighly tattered due to having been once bound in a volume and later separated back out. This is a cool item. About 13 1/2" by 10 1/2". This issue is: February 25, 1865.
