HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

By George P. Fisher, D.D., LL.D., Professor of Ecclesiastical History in Yale University. 8vo, with numerous maps, $3.50.

Rev. R. S. Storrs, D.D., says:

“I am surprised that the author has been able to put such multitudes of facts, with analyses of opinions, definitions of tendencies, and concise personal sketches, into a narrative at once so graceful, graphic and compact.”

REV. PHILIP SCHAFF, D.D.:

“Prof. Fisher has completely succeeded in condensing the immense mass of material of his subject into one volume, and in producing a most useful manual for students which meets a long felt want.”

REV. WILLIAM TAYLOR, D.D.:

“The author has supplied a great want in this notable book, and has laid all busy men under a deep and lasting obligation. I anticipate great pleasure and much profit from its full perusal.”

Liquid

Cottage Colors.

The best MIXED PAINTS manufactured. Guaranteed to give perfect satisfaction if properly applied. They are heavy bodied, and for work that does not require an extra heavy coat, they can be thinned (with our Old Fashioned Kettle-boiled Linseed Oil) and still cover better than most of the mixed paints sold in the market, many of which have so little stock in them that they will not give a good solid coat.

Some manufacturers of mixed paints direct NOT to rub out the paint, but to FLOW it on; the reason being that if such stuff were rubbed out there would be but little left to cover, would be transparent. Our Cottage Colors have great strength or body, and, like any good paint, should be worked out well under the brush. The covering property of this paint is so excellent as to allow this to be done.

Put up for shipment as follows: In 3–gal. and 5–gal. bailed buckets, also barrels; in cans of ⅛, ¼, ½, 1–gal. and 2–gal. each.
