a success unprecedented in Theological Pub
Lcdts0nsl
A impression has already been produced by this
"A mastery treatise, the most profound wide
reaching and permanent.
1t Is perfectly manifest 10 all competent observers
that upon the eve of theological discussion
the most comprehensive, radical and portentous the
world has ever seon. To this discussion this book
loads tho why, with momentum irresistible. There
Is not question in Theology which Ia not destined
TO come up for new and thorough settlement in the
light Of this final development
ALI those who have Theological doubts and diff
culties should examine tho solution this work affords
Those who have no doubts, but who wish to study
the history Of opinions in the past and to keep pace
with the Developments Of opinion In the future will
miliar with this book Il coptans the seeds Of the
thnkings and debatings of the next hundred years
The reception of this woik by the Theological
press of the country, has been significant Equally
declining to accept his conclusion, they do 1t on OPP
posito and contradictory grounds. Ono half Of the
Theological press endorses the major premise Of the
argument, and denies the minor. The other half en-
dorses the minor, and denies the major And as they
probably both right in their positive element and
wrong in their negative the work has received Vir
tual Endorsement of tho most powerful kind
As regards tho ability of the work, and its claims
on the attention Of ALL the following extracts may
suffice:

We have the novel spectacle of man cnging
with mastery grasp to all the fundamentals Of Or
thodoxy, yet dealing it blow beneath
which it reels.

W. Y. Tribune.
The most significant work Theology which has
appeared Of late.
In many respects, this volume is one of the most
curious well as one Of the most suggestive, pro-
ductions of modern American Theology.

Able it unquostionaby is.
Westminster Revie,c, England.
The @Conaict of Ages" is in effect protest
against Calvinism by of the leading Calvinistic
divines of New England.
Boston Congvegationalist.
A very unsafe book for heresiarchs to put into
tho hands of either Unversalst Unitarian of real
and manly mind, accustomed to deep and serious
thought. Whatever else he may be or may not be-
he will be either ancient Socinian or mod
ern Universalist.
