Word-Studies in the New Testament.

By MARVIN R. VINCENT, D.D.

The Synoptic Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, and the Epistles of
Peter, James and Jude, 8vo. $4.00.

The Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby says:

Dr. Vincent’s “Word-Studies in the New Testament” is a delicious book. As a Greek scholar, a clear thinker, a logical reasoner, a master in English, and a devout sympathizer with the truths of revelation, Dr. Vincent is just the man to interest and edify the Church with such a work as this. Thousands will take delight in handling the gems which he has brought to view by his careful research and judicious discrimination. There are few scholars who, to such a degree as Dr. Vincent, mingle scholarly attainment with aptness to impart knowledge in attractive form. All Bible-readers should enjoy and profit by these delightful “Word-Studies.”

The Rev. Theodore L. Cutler, D.D., in the New York Evangelist.

A huge wagon, packed and piled with the golden sheaves of many years of thorough Bible research, is this precious volume. It is not a commentary. It is not a dictionary. It is not a series of dry scraps on philology or lexicography. It is not a cyclopedia for lazy ministers to crib sermons from. It is just like no other work on the New Testament that we can find elsewhere, and therefore it fills a niche that has hitherto been left empty. The very things which a young minister—and many an older one, also—ought to know about the chief words in his New Testament, he will be able to learn in this affluent volume.

THE SELF-REVELATION OF GOD.

By SAMUEL HARRIS, D.D., LL.D, Professor of Systematic Theology in Yale College.

8vo, uniform with the “Philosophical Basis of Theism.” $3.50.

“Such a work is not brought out in a day, but is the growth of years of professional study and reflection. Few books on Apologetics have been recently produced that will be more influential and formative upon the mind of the theological or philosophical student, or more useful.”—Prof. W’m. G. T. Shedd, D.D., in the Presbyterian Review.

“We do not know a better work among recent publications than this one for building up old hopes and giving a new strength to one’s faith. The book is thoroughly evangelic, fresh, and well wrought out.”—Bishop Hurst, in Northwestern Christian Advocate.

“The extent of literary, philosophical and theological learning which the work displays is remarkable. The style is vigorous, luminous, finished, and sometimes brilliant.”—Boston Daily Advertiser.

History of Modern Philosophy.

DESCARTES AND HIS SCHOOL.

By KUNO FISCHER. Translated by J. P. GORDY. Edited by NOAH PORTER. 8vo. $3.50.

“It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this work. The author is remarkable for the lucidity, order, and thoroughness of his expositions, and is by far the best historian of modern philosophy.”—Boston Beacon.

SOME PROBLEMS OF PHILOSOPHY.

By ARCHIBALD ALEXANDER,

Professor of Philosophy in Columbia College.

12mo. $1.00.

“For clearness and profundity of thought, deftness of presentation, and lucidity of style, Professor Alexander’s book is not surpassed by any philosophical work of similar scope in the language. It is so simple, frank, and straightforward, that it will appeal to a large class of thoughtful men.”—Science.

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 8-gal. and 5-gal. bailed buckets, also barrels; in cans of ⅛, ¼, ½, 1-gal. and 2-gal. each.

Abbott on “Matthew.”

An Illustrated Commentary for Christian Workers.

By Rev. L. Abbott, D.D.

8vo. cloth. Price, $1.75.

“It will rank among the best commentaries of the day.”—Rev. Wm. M. Taylor, D.D. (Cong). “For quick reference on a minister’s table, for help at family study, for aid in the Sunday-school lesson, I should commend this as the best book I know.”—Rev. C. S. Robinson, D.D., (Pres). “Students will be wise to possess themselves of this help.”—Bishop Foster, (Meth.) “I have met with nothing of the kind which, in my judgment, is so eminently adapted to aid the earnest Sunday-school teacher in his preparation for teaching.”—Rev. R. R. Meredith, D.D., (Cong.) “One of the ablest commentaries of the century.”—J. H. Vincent, D.D., (Meth.)

Ditson & Co’s Sunday-School Music

ranks with the very best, and no Sunday-school management should adopt a new Singing Book without carefully examining one of their “tried and true” Sunday-School Song Books.

Voices of Praise (40 cts., $4.20 per doz.) Rev. C. L. Hutchins. Music and poetry dignified and classical, but not dull; in fact, bright and enthusiastic. Very large collection for the money.

Singing on the Way (35 cts., $3.60 per doz.) by Mrs. Jewett, ably assisted by Dr. Holbrook, whose noble compositions are known and loved in all the churches. This, like the book above mentioned, does excellently well for a Vestry Singing Book for prayer and praise meetings.

Songs of Promise (35 cts., $3.60 per doz.) J. H. Tenney and Rev. E. A. Hoffman—the first highly gifted, musically, and the second the author of many hymns of refined and beautiful quality. One of the newest books.

Song Worship (35 cts., $3.60 per doz.) L. O. Emerson and W. F. Sherwin, both celebrated compilers, composers and leaders, and the latter well-known as having had charge of the music at many Chautauqua meetings.

For other good books, please send for lists and catalogues.

For a lovely little book for the young children of a Sunday-school, look no further than FRESH FLOWERS (25 cts., $2.40 per doz.), Emma Pitt. Sweet Hymns, Sweet Music, Pretty Pictures.
