rm of the book lies in the elevated tone of thought and moral sentiment which pervades it. You feel, on closing the volume, as if leaving some ancient cathedral, where your soul had been mingling with ascending anthems and prayers. There is scarcely a page which does not contain some fine strain of thought or sentiment, over which you shut the book that you may pause and meditate. "We recommend the volume to our readers, with the assurance that they will find few works in the current literature of the day so well worth perusal."--_Christian Register._ "This is really an original book.

"We would express a high opinion of the book, and can assure the Christian reader who will compare it carefully with our common version, that he will rise up from the joint perusal of the two with a better understanding of Paul than he had before."--_Christian Register._ CHRISTIANITY THE DELIVERANCE OF THE SOUL AND ITS LIFE. By WILLIAM MOUNTFORD. With an Introduction by Rev. F.D. HUNTINGTON. 16mo. pp. 118. Price, 37-1/2 cents. "Mr. Mountford is full of warm religious feeling. He brings religion home to the heart, an
