The Rich Kinsman.
The History of Ruth the Moabitess, by Stephen H. Tyng, D.D. 16mo. $1.
“The author presents this work in the hope that it will be found adapted to enlighten the minds of the young in some of the great subjects of Scriptural instruction.... The author has been long impressed with the feeling that neither commentaries nor sermons have yet made that simple and practical use of the fullness of Scripture truth for which it is adapted—perhaps he might say for which it is designed. The young mind certainly can be interested in the word of God, as a book full of attraction as well as full of truth. Whoever can be made in any degree the instrument of leading to this result, by bringing out to view the real attractions of Scripture, confers so far an invaluable benefit upon others.”—Extract from the Preface.
The Truth and Life.
A Series of Discourses. By Bishop McIlvaine, of Ohio. 8vo. $2.
“We have seldom met with a more admirable volume of Sermons than the one now lying before us. * * * The subjects are varied, but in all there is the same clearness, and fullness of Gospel truth. * * * We can assure our readers that there is a freshness and power pervading the work, which is most delightful to find in this age of flimsy sentiment and idealistic abstractions.”—Banner.
The Saints’ Everlasting Rest.
By Richard Baxter. The ONLY COMPLETE EDITION ever published in the United States. One volume royal 8vo. $2.
“There are no religious works which have had, next to John Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress,” so extensive, increasing, and continued circulation, as those of Richard Baxter. ‘The Saints’ Rest’ is eminently a favorite with Christians, and has been richly blessed. The volume in general use is an abridgment, well executed, of the original, and is not as much as one-half of its compass. However well condensed, an abridgment can not retain and exhibit all the merits of the original, and very many of the lovers of the smaller volume will hail and embrace the opportunity of obtaining the original work, in the present neat and acceptable form.”—Christian Intelligencer.
