MCILyAINE's EVIDENCES OF CHRISTIANITY
This able work on the evidences Of the
Christian faith is one of unusual power, and
deserves place in every library and in every
family. The train Of reasoning pursued by
the author is one calculated to make deep
and salutary impression on the mind of any
candid investigator, being free from that un-
due warmth which characteristics too many
works Of this kind. Tho work is highly
commended by all the leading Protestant
Hrrrisburg, and endorsed by Rev. Jas. S.
Woods, ID. D., Rev. VIM. Y. Bowers, and Rev.
G. NJ. Klink. A benevolent desire to place
the book in the hands Of every reader, has
. induced the appointment Of an agent, who
will call on our citizens and furnish it at a
low price. Fifty cents cannot be better spent
than in its purchase by heads of families,
young men, and young ladies.
