THE BIBLE COMMENTARY

(Known in England as The Speaker’s Commentary).

The Bible Commentary was begun ten years ago, with the object of making available to students of the Scriptures and ordinary lay readers the accumulated treasures of modern antiquarian and philological research.

The contributors are in every case men who have made special investigation in some department of Biblical learning, and have been chosen for their special fitness. More than forty of the best English scholars have united to make this Commentary the most scholarly, instructive and valuable that exists for the general reader. Among them are included Professor Westcott, Professor Plumtree, The Archbishop of York, The Bishop of Ely, Professor Rawlinson, Dr. R. Payne Smith, Dr. H. Longueville Mansel, Canon Cook, Canon Lightfoot and Dean Howson.

THE OLD TESTAMENT.

Vol. I.–Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.

Vol. II.–Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Samuel, 1st Kings.

Vol. III.–2d Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther.

Vol. IV.–Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon.

Vol V.–Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations.

Vol. VI.–Ezekiel, Daniel, The Minor Prophets.

THE NEW TESTAMENT.

Vol. I.–Matthew, Mark and Luke.

Vol. II.–John and Acts.

Vol. III.–Romans to Philemon.

Vol. IV.–Hebrews to Revelation.

CRITICAL NOTICES.

Decidedly the best of the many series of Commentaries on the whole Bible recently issued.–The Presbyterian Review.

Thank God for this glorious constellation of talent, learning and piety, combined to elucidate the word of God for the use of those great masses of the people who are not and cannot be scholars.–The Christian Union.

There is no other Commentary which can take the place of this. Those who desire something for family use, something in which the unlearned may find condensed in a reasonable space an explanation of difficult passages so far as recent research enables them to be explained, will find this Commentary the best that has yet been published.–The American Church Review.

Father Kemp

Originator of the world-renowned “Old Folks Concerts,” and proprietor of the popular Boot and Shoe Store, 1,090 Washington street, Boston, testifies by the following letter to the benefit he received from using Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

Boston, Mass., Jan. 16, 1882.

Gentlemen.–Your preparation has done so much for me that I cannot refrain from sending you my simple, unsolicited testimony. In my travels through this country and Europe, and giving two concerts per day for more than twenty years, I found at last my health became so impaired that I had to give it up. That was fifteen years ago. Since that time until last summer (when I commenced taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla), I had scarcely seen a well day. Dangerous symptoms with constant roaring in the head, abscesses forming, with fearful suffering until they would break, and then only a temporary relief until another would form. My legs from the ankle to knee would swell and turn black; in fact, I suffered all that man could suffer and live. I consulted the most eminent physicians in the country and could get no relief. A friend prevailed on me to try your preparation. I did so. Result, to-day I am a well man; no pains or ails, and can do as much work, feel as fresh, as forty years ago. I am well known through the country, and would be willing to answer any letter of inquiry as regards my case.

Respectfully yours, FATHER KEMP,

Originator of the “Old Folks Concerts,” and sixty-one years old.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla,

Sold by all druggists. Price $1; six for $5. Made only by C. I. HOOD & CO., Apothecaries, Lowell, Mass.

Fifty cents enclosed in a letter and mailed to John D. Wattles, 725 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, with a request that The Sunday School Times be sent to you, will result in your receiving that paper every week for three months. The Sunday School Times is a large 16-page weekly paper, and is used by more than 40,000 teachers. You will at least wish to try it for three months, if you are not already a subscriber. At the end of three mouths, if you feel that your investment has not been a good one, the publisher will send the money back to you. The Scholars’ Quarterly, published at the same office, would help your scholars. Its beautiful double-page colored map is alone worth the price of the book. Send seven cents for a specimen copy.

Do you know of any better time to attend to all this than just now as you read this notice?

In writing, please mention this paper.

N.Y. WITNESS.

☞There will be many important events occurring during the coming year that you will not know about unless you take the Witness. Do you know now, for instance, that a sober and Christian young man, a private soldier of the U.S. Army, has been thrown into prison and subjected to great privations and indignities by his superior officers–treated worse than the miserable wretch Guiteau–for writing a letter to the Witness–a letter which is of great importance to all young men and all parents? There are many things published in the Witness that other papers dare not print, for fear of offending some rich and powerful corporation, and so losing their patronage.

The price of the WITNESS is $1.50
a year, post-paid; club price,
five for $6.00. Sample
copy sent free.

Ministers, Missionaries, Evangelists of all Denominations, and Teachers can have the WITNESS for One Dollar a year.

THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.

AIM AND WORK.

To preach the Gospel to the poor. It originated in a sympathy with the almost friendless slaves. Since Emancipation it has devoted its main efforts to preparing the Freedmen for their duties as citizens and Christians in America, and as missionaries in Africa. As closely related to this, it seeks to benefit the caste-persecuted Chinese in America, and to co-operate with the Government in its humane and Christian policy toward the Indians. It has also a mission in Africa.

WANTS.

1. A steady INCREASE of regular income to keep pace with the growing work. This increase can only be reached by regular and larger contributions from the churches, the feeble as well as the strong.

2. Additional Buildings for our higher educational institutions, to accommodate the increasing numbers of students; Meeting Houses for the new churches we are organizing; more Ministers, cultured and pious, for these churches.

3. Help for Young Men, to be educated as ministers here and missionaries to Africa–a pressing want.

Before sending boxes, always correspond with the nearest A. M. A. office as directed on second page cover.

THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY.

We are anxious to put the American Missionary on a paying basis. We intend to make it worth its price, and we ask our patrons to aid us:

1. More of our readers can take pains to send us either the moderate subscription price (50 cents), or $1.00, naming a friend to whom we may send a second copy.

2. A special friend in each church can secure subscribers at club-rates (12 copies for $5 or 25 copies for $10).

3. Business men can benefit themselves by advertising in a periodical that has a circulation of 20,000 copies monthly and that goes to many of the best men and families in the land. Will not our friends aid us to make this plan a success?

We nevertheless renew the offer hitherto made, that the Missionary will be sent gratuitously, if desired, to the Missionaries of the Association; to Life Members; to all Clergymen who take up collections for the Association; to Superintendents of Sabbath-schools; to College Libraries; to Theological Seminaries; to Societies of Inquiry on Missions; and to every donor who does not prefer to take it as a subscriber, and contributes in a year not less than five dollars.

Subscriptions and advertisements should be sent to H. W. Hubbard, Treasurer, 56 Reade street, New York, N.Y.
