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._ Discourses on Truth.
By J. H. Thornwell, D.D., President of the South Carolina College, “The Ethics are of the loftiest standard, breathing a pure theology, and informed by a sound psychology, and presented in a form of compacted logic. It is a tonic for both mind and heart to read these able expositions of the moral system of Christianity. * * * To those who _think_, it will be found a dish of strong meat, the inward digestion of which will give vigor to both the mental and spiritual Fritz Harold; or, the Temptation.

The Christian Patriot.
A Memoir of William Wilberforce. 75 cents.
This new Memoir of the Christian, the patriot, and philanthropist, is from the pen of a gifted American lady, and will be read with intense interest by all classes of readers.
The Autobiography and Reminiscences of the Rev. Wm. Jay.
“Few names are so extensively known in the Christian communities of Great Britain and the United States as that of William Jay. His ‘Morning and Evening Exercises’ is in the great majority of Christian families. The Autobiography is written in a style of great simplicity and pleasantness. The reminiscences by Mr. Jay of prominent individuals with whom he was well acquainted—as John Newton, Richard Cecil, Robert Hall, William Wilberforce, and others, are graphic and entertaining, and replete with anecdote.”—_Christian Intelligencer._ “This is a delightful work. The autobiography is a simple story of his life, in letters addressed to his children, beginning with bricklayer boy at Beckford’s Abbey, whose sweet face attracted the attention of Cornelius Winter, and led to the bringing out of the ‘boy preacher,’ and ending with the venerable patriarch of Bath, whose name and writings were known and loved all over Protestant “As an autobiography, this will do to go along with that of Hugh Miller.”—_Journal._ By the same author.
I. Morning and Evening Exercises.
A new edition in 4 royal 12mo vols. $4.
“This edition of the Exercises is in four large 12mo volumes. It is remarkably well printed in large, clear type, and on clear, white paper, so that the old and those of weak sight can enjoy the good things prepared for them by one of the most pious and best writers which the world has produced.”—_Christ. Advocate._ II. Female Scripture Characters.
12mo. $1.
“By all sincere Christian women, the world over, this volume will be regarded as a spiritual treasure.”—_Presbyterian._ Paley’s Evidences of Christianity, With Notes and Additions. By Charles Murray Nairne, M.A. 12mo. $1.25.
“It would be a work of supererogation, at this late day, to dwell on the peculiar excellences of Paley’s treatise on the Evidences of Christianity. It is not probable it will ever be superseded. Its learning, its exactness, its wonderful clearness of thought, its logical force, are incomparable. * * * * * * * The American editor has fortified the points in which Paley has failed, and, by his additional matter, has unquestionably furnished the best, as well as the safest edition of Paley extant.”—_Presbyterian._ “The Editor of this work, we hesitate not to say, is a man of extraordinary intellect and acquirements, and he has done what it may safely be said that few are capable of doing, has given additional attraction and value to Paley’s Evidences of Christianity. The introductory article, entitled ‘Claims of Divine Revelation,’ could never have been the production of any other than “As one of the impregnable defences of the historical verity of the facts of Christianity, the work of Paley stands unrivaled and complete.
* * * The notes and additions of Prof. Nairne make it more valuable than any edition hitherto published. The labors of Chalmers, Hill, Wardlaw, Campbell, Alexander, Hitchcock, Miller, Birks, and many others, are here put under contribution.”—_Presbyterian of the West._ The Footsteps of St. Paul.
By the author of the “Morning and Night Watches.” 12mo. Illustrated.
$1 00.
“‘The Footsteps of St. Paul’ is the title of an able and instructive work, presenting a consecutive history of the life, labors, and teachings of the great Apostle. It interweaves, in the narrative, all the direct disclosures of the Acts, the incidental intimations of the Epistles, all the outside information extant, and many conjectural statements derived from a comparison of different parts of Scripture.
But he has written it in an animated and graphic style, and imbued it with a fine spirit. It leaves a strong impression on the reader’s mind.
It is copiously illustrated with maps and engravings, and is every way “The Carters have published a multitude of good books, but, unless we greatly mistake, this will be reckoned among the best of By the same author.
I. The Words of Jesus.

“This admirable little volume illustrates and applies some of the precious utterances of the blessed Saviour, in language chaste, simple, affectionate, and urgent, enlightening the thoughts, exciting the affections, subduing the passions, guiding the soul, like the star of Bethlehem, to the meek and lowly Saviour.”—_Watchman._ II.

16mo. 75 cents.
“A gem of no ordinary worth. * * * We may briefly describe it, and this because we think its title fails to do so, as a Treatise on Prayer, founded on the instances of prayer recorded of, and by, the Apostle Paul. It is searching, devotional, practical, and Philip Colville, a Covenanter’s Story.
