Ripley is, that lie helps the reader uhers
ne needs help, and when be does no, he
lets him 20 alone. On plain texfs HE
notes are not o6iruded; but On The Oh
scure, they are sound aud satisfactory. In
word, view the work rs possessed or

biblical knowledge and the cause of reli-

From Rev. Robert TurnbuI Pastor Of IN. South
Baptist Church, Hartford, Conn.,
Having introduced Professor Ripley's
Notes into my Bible Class sbo1t six
months ago, 4 have had a fair opportuni-
iy OF becoming acquainted with the mer.
lis of the work. l can unhesiiaunrly
, say, that it is almos, every thing could
wish as a class book. 7hs value Of The
notes consists chiefly 10 their tTeritg. jE-
diciousAesi and simplicity. The difficult
passages are satisfactorily discussed, while
those Of palmer and more iEtellieible
nature are passed over with brief notices.
l have much pleasure IN Recommending
the work as the best of its kind. for a
textbook in Bible CIasses and Sabbath
: Schools. RoBERT TURksULL.

e From Rev. Messr,. Baker and Hums, Norfolk Va
To those who have not leisure or dis
4 position to wade through more extended
! commentaries, this work will prove an
invaluable acquisition. Some may posi-
bly, object 10 the brevity Of the notes: in
: our estimation, they are sufficiently ex-
tensive for all ordinary purposes. Were
: the work more voluminous, II would be
2 less read, and, consequently. less useful.
y This is an important consideration, and
o it should be allowed due weight The
70 style of the work merits particular com.
: mendation. While plain and unostenra.
tious, 1t is chaste and perspicuous The
laithfulness of the author, in his notes on
. those passages of Scripture which have
reference to the subject OF baptism, should
commend the work to every member o
our denomination. We trust that the De
riod is>nnl far distant, wheE a copy OF i
will be found in every Baptist family II
