New Issue. Fully Revised and Enlarged.

THE PROBLEM OF RELIGIOUS
PROGRESS.

By DANIEL DORCHESTER, D.D.

The author has revised it with great care, bringing the data down to the year 1894. He has also treated new phases of the problem, which have become quite conspicuous since the book was first published. Social questions. particularly poverty, wages, crime, the peril of cities, anarchy, etc., constitute new or enlarged sections. A new chapter of special interest has been added on CHRISTIANITY AN INCREASING FACTOR IN THE WORLD'S CONSCIOUSNESS AND LIFE,

which will be very helpful to lay as well as clerical readers. The new edition contains about one hundred and forty pages more than the old one, and twenty more striking diagrams, greatly enhancing its value.

What Able Reviewers Think About It:

"A thoughtful and hopeful book. It is the result of years of reading and observation, and it strikes at the root of all pessimism and despondency. The temper of the book is excellent; it is frank, earnest, and just; and there is great value in so serious and rational a contribution to optimism, in so triumphant a vindication of the faith, hope, and charity of the world."Boston Daily Advertiser.

"The broad view here given of the condition of the world, intellectual, moral, social, and spiritual, at the dawn of the Reformation, as contrasted with the condition of the world to-day, is a bright and inspiring exhibit of the wonderful progress of the Church of Christ, as well as of her present vigorous life, and effectively shows that the wail of the pessimist is utterly meaningless."-Christian Intelligencer.

The Revival and the Pastor.

By JONAS ORAMEL PECK, D.D.

With an Introduction by J. M. BUCKLEY, D.D.

"This is the very book we have been looking for. It covers the ground, and covers it well. Dr. Peck, whose recent death occasioned so great sorrow in the Church, was no theorist. He had been himself a great revivalist and a great pastor. Some weak people imagine the combination to be impossible. If they will read this book they will see how erroneous their notion is. No worse thing could happen to our Church than that any considerable number of the pastors should come to regard it as the proper thing to farm out their evangelistic work to somebody else. Let all the young preachers who desire to make full proof of their ministry pay good heed to Dr. Peck's wise and earnest counsels. The twenty chapters which he here gives us will put fire into their bones. We have ourself read them with a throbbing heart and wet eyes."-Nashville Christian Advocate.

Little Arthur; or, The Ministry of a Child.

By JAMES H. POTTS, D.D.

A tribute to the memory of Arthur Ninde Potts by his bereaved father.

Bishop Ninde says of it: "This little book is more than the memorial of a life that rounded so early to its close. It is the autobiography of a stricken heart, the outpouring of a sensitive nature under the impulse of o'erwhelming grief. The delineations of parental sorrow, so exquisitely drawn, will touch a sympathetic cord in other hearts, while the firm expressions of faith and hope and high resolve will prove a heavenly inspiration to many a chastened soul."

The Story of Bohemia.

BY FRANCES GREGOR.

"The Story of Bohemia will find a welcome with the scholar as the only history of this remarkable people in the English language. But it will also find popular welcome not only because it is written in popular style, but because it records one long chapter in the great struggle of the common people for freedom from the abuses of ecclesiastical and civil authority. But to the Christian student these pages will have special interest. Here hə will find what probably many have overlooked-that the seeds of reformation, which were ultimately to bear such splendid fruitage all over Western Europe, found lodgment in the soil of liberty-loving Bohemia a full century before Luther's day. John Wyclif's writings found their way to Prague. The dean of its great university, one John Huss, found them so in accord with the Holy Scriptures that, in spite of their condemnation by pope and bishops, he accepted and openly defended them. The story of his martyrdom, and of the uprising of little Bohemia in the teeth of Catholic Europe to avenge the cruel treachery of the Romish hierarchy, and the long war which followed, are graphically portrayed. The book brings the history up to the present time. Several illustrations of pivotal historic events and portraits of historic leaders adorn the pages."-Religious Telescope.

Mary of Nazareth and Her Family.

A Scripture Study.

BY BISHOP S. M. MERRILL, D.D.

"Bishop Merrill always wields a strong pen. Not only is he logical and clear, but while he spends neither energy nor time in pursuit of flowers of rhetoric for mere purposes of adornment, his pages are in no sense dry or uninteresting. His acute, logical mind revels in tasks from which those of less caliber shrink. He seems to find his delight in working out knotty problems. The present volume is an illustration. Strong, logical, full of interest to any thoughtful mind, it goes straight into the very core of one of the most perplexing questions of Gospel history. The solution so patiently wrought out has added interest and value from the fact that it is a scriptural solution, reached by careful comparison of Scripture with Scripture, with almost no reference to early tradition or to the opinions of the 'Fathers." The relation of the Marys and the Jameses and the Johns are carefully traced through the meager-often obscure-writings of the evangelists and apostles, and the conclusion seems unanswerable that the brethren of the Lord' were sons of Joseph and Mary, and that the Romish doctrine of 'perpetual virginity,' and all that it involves, has absolutely no warrant in the Scriptures. Students of the gospels will be grateful to the learned author for the light he has thrown upon so perplexing a problem."-Northern Christian Advocate.

Outlines of Economics.

[ocr errors]

By Professor RICHARD T. ELY.

'It would be somewhat hard to find two economic writers more widely different than Mr. Stead and Professor Ely. The latter is as conservative and cool as the former is eccentric and radical. Professor Ely has in later works taken up the subject of economic reforms especially from the standpoint of Christianity, and this book, though designed especially as a text-book for use in college on the theoretical side of Political Economy, has a great many helpful and practical suggestions of reform. The chapter upon socialism is a characteristic one. The author sees truth and benefit in new ideas, yet shrinks from letting go the present order. While not favoring socialism in toto, he sees many good features in it, and thinks that the better state of affairs will be reached by gradually transforming and expanding present institutions than by sudden revolutions. The book is eminently a safe one to be studied in the class room. It is none the less adapted to home reading, as Professor Ely's style is delightfully entertaining."-University Quarterly.

Biography of

Daniel P. Kidder, D.D., LL.D.

By his Son-in-Law, G. E. STROBRIDGE.

Rev. E. S. Stokes, D.D., President of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, and a lifelong and intimate friend of Dr. Kidder's, thus writes to Dr. Strobridge about the book:

"I bought the first copy sold in Philadelphia on Friday, and early on Monday morning I had finished the reading. My first and almost irresistible impulse was to sit down and write you a congratulatory letter for producing such a book. Every chapter, page, paragraph, and sentence was as a vision so refined and illuminated with divine truth and the blessed Spirit of God that I passed through its delicious details, almost unconscious at times that I was dwelling upon the the earth. I lived the past, more than forty years, all over again, and in his delightful company. I loved the man while he dwelt on earth. and the book greatly endears his memory now that he has passed into heaven. The volume is a beautiful contribution to the literature and history of the Church, and if every young minister would take the time to read it he would find rich and varied blessings to his intellect and heart."
