Prayer in Affliction; Duties of the Afflicted; The Mourner Blessed; Consolation; The Dangers of Adversity; Trust in Divine Love; The Promises of Jesus; The Believer's Hope; The Uses of Affliction; Time Passing; The Christian's Death; The Hope of Immortality; God our Father. THOUGHTS; selected from the Works of WILLIAM ELLERY CHANNING, D.D. 32mo. pp. 160. Price, 37-1/2 cents.
