THOUGHTS; selected from the Works of WILLIAM ELLERY CHANNING, D.D.
32mo. pp. 160. Price, 37-1/2 cents.

"Mr. Ware has left very few things which will do so much towards
promoting the great object for which he lived and labored. The simple
story of the every-day life of a good man, told as these stories are
told, finds a response in the hearts of those most indifferent to the
