In his first sermon as Vicar of Leeds, Dr. Talbot said: “I believe that the thought of speaking of God’s purpose in Christ was suggested to me by reading whilst abroad just now the impressive words about it in Dr. Dale’s noble book upon the Epistle to the Ephesians. It is only a single but superlative instance of what we owe to Nonconformist faith and goodness.”

PROFESSOR KURTZ’S CHURCH HISTORY.Authorised Translation from the latest revised edition, by the Rev.John Macpherson, M.A. In three volumes. Price 7s. 6d. each.
“The complete work of Professor Kurtz is now translated, and it really shows itself so improved in form, so much fuller in substance, in fact, so much changed in mind, body, and state, that it may claim to be a new history altogether. No one who has tried to peruse the original compilation will deny that this is an unspeakable advantage in a once unreadable manual; and, indeed, a ‘manual,’ by its very name, signifies a work that is meant to hold in the hand and not to enter the head. The author has carried on his history into the most recent days. Nothing has escaped his all-seeing eye and his all-recording pen—neither the Theosophism of Madame Blavatsky, nor the microscopic heresies of Mr. David Macrae in the United Presbyterian Church, neither the doings of the Berlin treaty nor of Dr. Robertson Smith. The annals of the last fifty years on the Continent are given with considerable fulness, and ecclesiastical events in Germany are given with an especial amount of detail.”—Scotsman.

THE CATACOMBS OF ROME, AND THEIR TESTIMONY RELATIVE TO PRIMITIVE CHRISTIANITY.By Rev.W. H. Withrow, M.A. Crown 8vo, cloth, price 6s. 560 pages, 134 Illustrations.
“An exceedingly painstaking and thorough-going work, and whether or not the writer may be correct in all his inferences, they have evidently been founded upon diligent information. He could not have very much that was absolutely new to tell on the subject; but as a convenient account of the most remarkable and interesting monuments of primitive Christianity, of those excavations which furnished the persecuted Church with refuges during life and in death, which formed her places of worship in times of peril, and received the remains of martyrs, the present volume is perhaps inferior to none of its predecessors.”—Saturday Review.

Press Notices.“If all sermons were as fresh and unconventional, as simple, practical, and unaffected as those which he (Rev. Hugh Price Hughes) has put together under the appropriate title of ‘Social Christianity,’ there would perhaps be less grumbling from the pew than is at present the case.”—Scotsman.“Wise, strong, wholesome, and thoughtful.”—British Weekly.“It is not difficult, after reading these fervid, brave, and genial addresses, to understand the secret of such a preacher’s spell. Mr. Price Hughes does not mince matters in dealing with the lawlessness, the Mammon-Worship, and the social disorders of the times; and the tones in which he speaks are far-reaching and persuasive, because they are brotherly and full of faith and hope.”—Leeds Mercury.“These vigorous sermons are an attempt to show that what must be called the social failure of Christianity is not the fault of Christianity or of Christ, but rather the result of Christians having been selfishly individualistic. The great evils of our day, and especially those of our own country, are brought to view with much directness, and the duties and responsibilities of disciples of Christ are enforced with plainness and power. Whether the subject be social distress, the administration of justice, Christ’s authority, or the problem of unbelief, we find these pages uniformly practical and in a high degree instructive.”—Christian.“These sermons are full of good, manly, vigorous teaching of a stout, practical kind.”—Star.“While the ordinary volume of sermons sends people to sleep, this will assuredly keep them awake; and it will, moreover, keep them awake by perfectly legitimate expedients.”—Manchester Examiner.

It will take its place with the classics of missions—with the Lives of Brainerd and Martyn, and the other records which will endure as long as Christ is preached. Great as has been the missionary work accomplished by the author, we believe it will be found in the end that his greatest work has been the writing of this volume. It is a book which cannot be read without indescribable emotion.… It must surely, now and in days to come, kindle in many souls something of the writer’s own lofty and fervent love. More than any argument it will silence the faithless clamour against missions; and no one, Christian or sceptic, will peruse it without feeling that there is amongst us still at least one truly Apostolic man.”—British Weekly.

OUTLINES OF CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE.By the Rev.H. C. G. Moule, M.A., Principal of Ridley Hall, Cambridge. Third Edition, with new Indexes. Fcap. 8vo. Price 2s. 6d.
TheGuardiansays: “Mr. Moule has attempted a very difficult task, and has at least succeeded in condensing an immense mass of information into a small compass. It is perhaps superfluous to say that his work is characterized by great reverence from the first page to the last. At every point the reader feels that he is reading a statement of theology which is the life of the writer. In the more strictly theological part the summary is, as a rule, arranged and expressed excellently.”

LIFE INSIDE THE CHURCH OF ROME.
ByM. F. Clare Cusack, “The Nun of Kenmare.”
NOTICES OF THE PRESS.“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.“Deserves to receive the earnest consideration of all who have any care whatever for the welfare of their country. More than anything else its pages ought to open the eyes of the ritualists.”—City Press.“We are not aware that there has been published any work which has exposed the inner life and working of the Roman Church as does the present volume. It is surprising to see what a keen insight Miss Cusack has into the whole Romish system—political, social, and literary.”—Rock.“This most interesting, important, and even sensational book.… We heartily commend it, and thank most heartily the talented authoress for her faithfulness in revealing the hidden evils of Romanism.”—Protestant Observer.“Some of the instances related by Miss Cusack are heartrending. The Romish Church to-day, as ever, is built on lies, forgeries, shameless misrepresentations of history and the positions of opponents, and suppressions of the truth.”—Christian World.“If there be any belated Protestant in the present day who thinks that the Papal Apostasy is a branch of the true Church of Christ, and that it is capable of being used by God as an instrument for the elevation of mankind, we would advise him to read the Nun of Kenmare’s new book. Miss Cusack, like many others, was beguiled for a season, but painful experience opened her eyes to the true nature of this cleverly devised, but corrupt and tyrannical organisation. It is clear from her recital that the continued existence of Popery as a religious (or rather, irreligious) system, rests on the dense ignorance of its votaries. Even a slight knowledge of revealed truth would be fatal to the pretensions of the Papacy. The author tells us that the best educated of Roman Catholics are entirely ignorant of the Bible. The great duty of the hour is to enlighten these unhappy people as to the true nature of the system that enslaves them. Under the circumstances, that is no easy task, but we are hopeful that it is being gradually accomplished; and Miss Cusack’s book would go far to bring it about if the mass of Romanists could have the opportunity of reading it.”—Christian.
