LINCOLN'S

SABBATH SCHOOL CLASS BOOK. Comprising copious Exercises on the Sacred Scriptures. By E. LINCOLN. Revised and improved by an eminent Clergyman

and a Superintendent.

The present edition has been thoroughly revised and enlarged by gentlemen well qualified for the task. The book, in its present shape, is one of the cheapest and most complete of the kind now in use.

"Having examined your Sabbath School Class Book, it gives us pleasure to express our satisfaction with its design and execution. The great benefit which a good class book accomplishes, consists in guiding the mind of the scholar in the study of his lesson, and in suggesting topics of conversation to the teacher. To this end we think your work is well adapted, having avoided, in a great degree. the evils of extreme redundance or conciseness. WM. HAGUE, H. MALCOM, L BOLLES, BARON STOW."

E. THRESHER,

LINCOLN'S SCRIPTURE QUESTIONS.

With the Answers annexed, giving, in the language of the Sacred Volume, interesting portions of the History, and a concise View of the

Doctrines and Duties exhibited in the Bible.

Where Bibles cannot be furnished to each scholar, the Scripture Ques tions may be used with convenience, as the answers are printed.

From the Minutes of the Boston Association.

ON THE NEW TESTAMENT.

Designed for the Use of Bible Classes and Sabbath Schools.
Vol. I, Matthew,-Vol. II, John.

By Rev. WILLIAM HAGUE.

The object of this work is two-fold-1st. To facilitate the efforts of the teachers in communicating instruction to their classes:-2d. To excite a spirit of inquiry among the classes themselves. To this end, such questions are asked as are adapted to lead the mind to think, and only such as the scholar, with the Bible in his hand. may be expected to answer, by the aid of his own reflecting powers. The questions are interspersed with familiar remarks, which are designed to convey to the scholar such information as may not be within his reach and also to keep up a continuous conversation between the teacher and the class.

THE SAINT'S EVERLASTING REST.

By the Rev. Richard Baxter.

From Rev. Dr. Wayland, President of Brown University. "I am gratified to perceive that you have published a handsome edition of Baxter's Saint's Rest. Of the value of the work itself it is superfluous to speak. It has few equals in any language. The ordinary copies are palpably beneath the value of the work."

THE IMITATION OF CHRIST.

In Three Books. By THOMAS A KEMPIS. With an Introductory Essay, by THOMAS CHALMERS, of Glasgow. A new edition.

Edited by Rev. HOWARD MALCOM.

This work has, for three hundred years, been esteemed one of the best practical books in existence, and has gone through a vast number of editions, not only in the original Latin, but in every language of Europe. Dr. Payson, of Portland, warmly recommended it, in a letter to a young clergyman. That the benefit of the work may be universally enjoyed, the translation of Payne, which best agrees with the original, has been revised by Rev. Howard Malcom, and such retrenchments made, as adapt it to general use.

With an Introductory Essay, by Rev. H. WINSLOW.
Edited by Rev. J. O. CHOULES.

Wishes for its universal circulation are received by the Publishers from ministers and brethren in every section of the country.

he pastor writes, "I sincerely wish that every professor of religion in the land may possess this excellent manual. am anxious that every member of my church should possess it, and shall be happy to promote its circulation still more extensively."

A gentleman in Virginia writes: "I wish every Christian to possess the Church-Member's Guide."

"The spontaneous effusion of our heart, on laying the book down, was.-may every church-member in our land soon possess this book, and be blessed with all the happiness which conformity to its evangelic sentiments and directions is calculated to confer."-Christian Secretary.

THE BEAUTIES OF COLLYER.

Selections from the Theological Lectures of Rev. W. B. COLLYER, D. D.

By Rev. J. O. CHOULES.

The merits of Dr. Collyer are thus noticed by an eminent reviewer."His researches, his various learning, and accumulation of interesting facts, his presenting old and familiar truths in a new and striking man. ner, entitle him to rank high as a theological writer. His style is remarkably elegant and polished, and there is a rich vein of evangelical piety running through all his works." In making up the volume from so eminent an author, the editor has selected those parts which he supposed would create habits of thought in the Christian community, and present a volume well suited for the Christian library. Indeed, this book contains a rich treasure of truth upon seventy subjects, for all classes of readers. It is well calculated to give youth a taste for reading, as it is to encourage the mature Christian in his course of duty, and to confirm his hopes of a happy immortality.

SCRIPTURE NATURAL HISTORY.

Containing a descriptive account of Quadrupeds, Birds, Fishes, Insects,
Reptiles, Serpents, Plants, Trees, Minerals, Gems, and Precious
Stones, mentioned in the Bible. By WM. CARpenter,
London; with improvements. By G. D. ABBOTT.
Illustrated by numerous engravings,

also, Sketches of Palestine.

"This is a very interesting volume to general readers of the Bible. Mr. Abbott has divested the work of its learned references, and adapted it to the comprehension of all. Mr. Carpenter compiled the work from the Natural History of the Rev. Dr. Harris, of Dorchester, Mass, and very ungenerously refused to acknowledge his obligations to the author, while he abused him for his want of orthodoxy. Mr. Abbott has faithfully exposed the piracy. We recommend the volume as one of great value."— American Quarterly Register.

CAMPBELL & FENELON ON ELOQUENCE. Campbell's Lectures on Theology and Pulpit Eloquence,

and Fenelon's Dialogues on Eloquence.

Edited by Prof. H. J. RIPLEY.

It has been the aim of the editor of this work to make it more fitted to students in this country, and more profitable to those whose studies have not extended beyond their own language. And he considers that these Lectures inculcate the true mode in which the study of theology should be conducted. The excellence of Fenelon's Dialogues concerning Eloquence, their general agreement with the sentiments of Dr. Campbell's Lectures, and their more ample discussion of certain topics connected with preaching, render their insertion in this volume quite appropriate. These dialogues Dr. Doddridge has called "incomparable dialogues on eloquence," which, he remarks, "may God put it into the hearts of our preachers often and attentively to read " This complete volume on elo. quence has been noticed by several periodicals, and recommended to all students who are preparing for the Christian ministry.

FOR CHRISTIAN PILGRIMS.

By Rev. BARON STOW, Pastor of the Baldwin Place Church, Boston.

This work contains a text of Scripture for each day in the year,

with an analysis of its contents, and a verse of poetry.

"A perfect gem of a book, and full of gems from the mine that yields the purest and brightest that are found in the world,-every one that sees it will wish to have the volume."-N. Y. Observer.

"This is one of the most beautiful, and beyond all doubt one of the most valuable, of those little books, that have been issued for the purpose of suggesting themes of daily meditation to Christians. A passage is furnished for each day in the year, and an appropriate division of the passage is suggested as the foundation of thought, to which is appended an appro. priate stanza."-Baptist Record.

"It is a charming little volume."—Boston Recorder.

THE YOUNG COMMUNICANT:

An Aid to the Right Understanding and Spiritual Improvement of the Lord's Supper.

"A work of this character has been much needed, especially by the young members of our churches."-Ch. Reflector.

"An exceedingly interesting and instructive little volume."-Christian Watchman.

"A timely little volume, just when we needed it. We know of no present to the young Christian more timely and valuable than this.”— Norwich Spectator.

THE CASKET OF FOUR JEWELS,

FOR YOUNG CHRISTIANS.

Containing, Apollos-Growth in Grace-The Golden Censer-and the Christian Citizen. By JOHN A. JAMES, JONATHAN EDWARDS, and JOHN HARRIS, D. D.

"These Jewels are truly pearls of great price,' compacted in a neat and beautiful casket. Spiritual Christians have examined these jewels separately, and expressing high admiration of their individual preciousness, have desired to possess them in a form less perishable and more worthy of their excellence."-Salem Gazette.

Or, how we may read the Scriptures with the most spiritual profit. BY THOMAS WATSON.—and Secret Prayer successfully managed,

By SAMUEL LEE. Edited by Rev JOHN O. CHOULES.

"This class of publications supply the most striking deficiency in the practical religious literature of the day. Here are rich views of scriptural illustration and of religious sentiment, buried in the tomes of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and it is a good service to the church of the nineteenth to re-open those mines. Our neophytes need it, and our ministerial corps may find models which can be most profitably imitated."-Mr. Kirk's Letter.

THE MARRIAGE RING;

OR, HOW TO MAKE HOME HAPPY.

From the writings of JOHN ANgell James.

"It is a precious little work, calculated alike to improve the morals and promote the happiness of the domestic hearth."-Southern Whig. "A beautiful little volume, and composed of lessons of sound wisdom and useful instruction."-Boston Recorder.

"This is a charming little keepsake which every young married couple ought to possess. It gives a most satisfying account of the nature and duties of married life. It makes mutual attachment' the indispensable basis of the marriage state, raising its eloquent little voice against any attempts to unite in marriage those who are influenced only by worldly motives, selfish aims, or considerations of worldly honor. We commend this little book to all young men and women who expect ever to be blest in marriage; and we wish the ministers who take it upon them to join these young men and women, would see that the uninitiated have in their possession this safe and useful little guide."-Norwich Spectator.
