of Promise. By the Rev. H. C. G. MOULE, M.A., Principal of
Ridley Hall, Cambridge. Third Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 5s.

"Whatever the Principal of Ridley Hall writes is worth reading.
There is in it always a spirit of devotion and practical religion
which tends to communicate itself to his readers with a blessed
contagion. He has the power to bring intense devotional piety into
the common concerns of life; he helps us to see how to bring the
supernatural into intimate relations with the
natural."--_Guardian._

"In it we discover a firm grasp of Divine truth, marked expository
skill, a deeply spiritual and reverent manner of approaching the
subject.... It is impossible to read this book without rising with
a clearer appreciation of the nature and extent of the Holy
Spirit's operations."--_Record._

crown 8vo, cloth, 5s.

"He writes clearly and forcibly, he reasons calmly and justly....
He has certainly made out a good case of Christian theism, and put
the arguments for it in a clear and telling way."--_Scotsman._

_IMPORTANT TO ALL BIBLE STUDENTS._

THE NEWBERRY BIBLE.

Formerly known as "THE ENGLISHMAN'S BIBLE," edited by
_THOMAS NEWBERRY_.

COMPRISING: The English-Hebrew Bible and the English-Greek Testament, designed to give, as far as practicable, the Accuracy, Precision, and Certainty of the Original Hebrew and Greek Scriptures on the Page of the Authorised Version. Adapted both for the Biblical Student and for the Ordinary English Reader.

Large Type Handy Reference Edition.

This Edition of "The Englishman's Bible" contains numerous additional references; the Hebrew and Greek words, also, with their English equivalents, having been greatly increased. It was formerly issued in six vols., at 45_s._, and is now printed on a fine thin opaque India paper, specially made, and published at such a price as to place it within the reach of Bible Students.

_Issued in four Bindings, round corners, gilt edges:--_

enable the English reader thoroughly to understand the original,
and place him in a position as near as possible to that of a
Hebrew scholar. I find it executed with the utmost accuracy."

The late Dr. HORATIUS BONAR says:--"It is beyond all price. Its
minuteness of detail, its accuracy, its perspicuity, its
scholar-like finish, are such as to make one of the most
trustworthy and precious volumes in connection with critical study
that have ever issued from the press."

which is a characteristic of the time."--_Pall Mall Gazette._

=Nunnery Life in the Church of England; or, Seventeen Years with
Father Ignatius.= By SISTER MARY AGNES, O.S.B. Introduction by
the Rev. W. LANCELOT HOLLAND, M.A., Vicar of All Saints',
Hatcham. With Portrait. Fourth Thousand. Cloth, 3s. 6d.

"The book is valuable as an illustration of the way in which the
work of Rome is being done in our land under Church of England
auspices. We wish the book an extensive circulation. Young
Christians specially should be made cognisant of its
story."--_Christian._

=Life Inside the Church of Rome.= By M. F. CLARE CUSACK (the "Nun
of Kenmare"). Second Thousand. In crown 8vo, 7s. 6d.

"Miss Cusack has a great deal to reveal, and she speaks with no
hesitating sound. The book before us is something more than a
revelation to the Protestant world; it is also a controversial
treatise, in popular form, in which the doctrinal errors of the
Papacy are considered from the highest standpoint--the written
Word of God. It is a book which should find a place on every
Protestant family's bookshelves."--_English Churchman._

_IMPORTANT WORK BY THE DEAN OF NORWICH._

=The Christian Ministry=: Its Origin, Constitution, Nature, and
Work. A Contribution to Pastoral Theology. By the Very Rev.
WILLIAM LEFROY, D.D., Dean of Norwich. In one Volume, 8vo,
cloth, 14s.

"This is, in every sense of the word, a timely book.... From the
importance of the themes which it embraces, Dean Lefroy's book is
one that should be of great value."--_Record._

"In presenting his own views, which he does with remarkable power
and in the most lucid way, the author has occasion to controvert
the opinions of several recent writers, a duty which he performs
with great ability, fairness, and unvarying courtesy. These
lectures are by no means dry or dull reading; they are lightened
up by many passages of chastened eloquence; they show ripe
scholarship, and a thorough mastery of materials by which a
judgment is to be formed."--_Scotsman._

_THE LATE DR. HATCH._

=Memorials of Edwin Hatch, D.D.= Edited by HIS BROTHER. In crown
8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d.

"There is noticeable throughout them a sincerity, a strong
affection, and sureness of faith; a tender-heartedness and
sympathy for the lot of the poor and suffering which is real and
often touching. His best sermons are his simplest, and his power
shows itself most surely when he is dealing with matters of
character and the conduct of life."--_Spectator._

=The Growth of Church Institutions.= By Rev. EDWIN HATCH, D.D.
Second Edition. In crown 8vo, 5s.

"Standing quite by itself as a solid result of individual search,
a book stiff with significant facts and bursting with
inferences."--_Expositor._

=Towards Fields of Light. Sacred Poems.= By the Same Author.
Cloth, gilt edges, crown 8vo, 2s. 6d.

"They are exquisitely beautiful."--_Church Review._

Venerable Archdeacon E. W. WHATELY, M.A., late Chancellor of
St. Patrick's and Rector of Werberg, Dublin. In crown 8vo,
cloth, 6s. 6d.

"Charming, and very readable."--_English Churchman._

"A bright and pleasant book of cultivated and well-informed
gossip."--_Leeds Mercury._

=Professor W. G. Elmslie, D.D. Memoir and Sermons.= With Portrait.
Third Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.

Memoir by W. ROBERTSON NICOLL, M.A., LL.D. With Reminiscences by
Professor MARCUS DODS, D.D., Professor HENRY DRUMMOND, Rev.
JOHN SMITH, M.A., and Rev. JAMES STALKER, D.D.

"In more ways than one this volume is full of interest. Dr.
Robertson Nicoll has outlined the personal career of the Professor
of Hebrew for his pupils, and of the Presbyterian minister for his
disciples, whether directly or indirectly under his charge; but,
in supplying them with an admirable selection of memorable words,
has given a wider public the opportunity of making acquaintance
with the thoughtful life of an original religious mind. The value
of the portrait--for it should be valuable to those working for
and with others in the spiritual struggles of the age--lies in the
inspiration it should give to young thinkers in the Christian
Church. In these selections we have little that is not truly
catholic in spirit. We do not mean that Professor Elmslie's papers
are in any way of classic rank, but we do mean that they tell us
of those serene depths over which roll the waves of this
troublesome world, powerless to affect their calm. It is
impossible by extracts to give an idea of the impression of
strength made upon one by what are, after all, only popular
sermons and surface-papers; but we think some will thank us for
calling attention to what we point to as typical of a young

Part.

Dr. T. L. CUYLER says:--"I have just laid down the most robust and
the most fascinating piece of autobiography that I have met with
in many a day. It is the story of the wonderful work wrought by
John G. Paton, the famous missionary to the New Hebrides; he is
made of the same stuff with Livingstone. A book which is as
thrilling as any romance."

The REV. DR. PIERSON, author of "The Crisis of Missions,"
says:--"I consider it _unsurpassed_ in missionary biography. In
the whole course of my extensive reading on these topics, a more
stimulating, inspiring, and every way first-class book has not
fallen into my hands. Everybody ought to read it."

its predecessor may be looked upon as a foregone conclusion.
Together they form one of the most fascinating records of
missionary work."--_Glasgow Herald._

"No modern missionary story is more thrilling, romantic, or in
parts pathetic, than this; none furnishes more convincing proof of
the power of the Gospel or the efficacy of prayer. The whole story
is told without one word of self-exaltation, and in a style
charming in its simplicity and tenderness."--_Methodist Times._

THE SERMON BIBLE.

Strongly Bound in Half-Buckram. 7s. 6d. each Volume.

_Each containing some Hundreds of Sermon Outlines, and several
Thousand References._

=Vol. I.--Genesis to 2 Samuel.=

"We do not hesitate to pronounce this the most practically useful
work of its kind at present extant. It is not a commentary, but a
_Thesaurus_ of sermons on texts arranged consecutively, chapter
after chapter and book after book.... We are bound to say that the
object announced by the compilers is on the way to be realised,
and here will be given the essence of the best homiletic
literature of this generation."--_Literary Churchman._

=Vol. II.--1 Kings to Psalm LXXVI.=

"Preachers anxious to discover the best books out of which they
may collect golden thoughts on any particular text, for use in
their sermons, will doubtless be glad of the volume before us,
which aims at being a guide-book, pointing out where sermons and
articles on those texts may be found. In addition to this,
extracts from sermons are given in the book itself."--_English
Churchman._

"The series, when completed, will form an excellent guide to the
best English sermons of recent times, while it presents, as well,
a selection of outlines upon the most important passages of
Scripture by the best preachers of our time."--_Methodist
Recorder._

=Vol. III.--Psalm LXXVII. to Song of Solomon.=

"The preachers whose names appear in connection with this book are
some of the most remarkable of the past and present generations.
The Book of Ecclesiastes furnishes some beautiful texts, which are
here handled admirably; and even the Song of Songs gives preachers
of a more mystical turn exercise for their peculiar gifts. The
volume is likely to be very serviceable to preachers."--_Church
Bells._

=Vol. IV.--Isaiah to Malachi.=

"There is, as in previous volumes, great diversity of thought, the
homiletic matter being the product of minds widely differing in
theological views. It is a model of neatness in its get-up, and
cannot fail to be a valued, because valuable, addition to any
clerical library."--_Rock._

=Vol. V.--Matthew I. to XXI.=

"The plan has been carried out with such admirable impartiality
and such excellent taste that the student who wishes to ascertain
how a given text is handled by the ablest English-speaking pulpit
expositors of the day can hardly fail to find here what he seeks
presented in the briefest form possible, an elaborate sermon being
usually condensed into two or three short
paragraphs."--_Manchester Examiner._
