OUR SEVEN CHURCHES: Eight Lectures by Thomas K. Beecher. 16mo. Paper, 50 cents; extra cloth, $1; cloth, gilt, $1.25.
“The eight lectures comprised in this volume are conceived in a spirit of broad liberality as refreshing as it is rare. They evince, in the most gratifying manner possible, how easy it is to find something good in one’s neighbors or opponents, or even enemies, if one tries faithfully to do so, instead of making an effort to discover a fault or a weakness. The volume is one which should have, as it undoubtedly will, a wide circulation.”—Detroit Free Press.
