STEPS TOWARD HEAVEN {;
OR,
Religion in Common Life,

Written by 7. S. ARTHUR, the well known
author, of whom it has been truly said ' That
dying, he has not Triten tcord he ,could nish TO
erase. His graphic pen never tires, and in
this new volume we perceive that he is still
successfully laboring to benefit while he
pleases, and while he enchains with master
hand the attention of men, to make them bet
ter. This is more decidedly religious than his
other works, though it is not doctrinal nor
scctarian. 1t is work well calculated to do
good, and is designed to show that the beau
ties and endearments of Christianity are to be
developed amid the stern realities of everyday
life, land not to be put aside at the tranquil
close OF Sabbath evening"
