HE GREAT TRIBULATIoS, or Things coming
on the Earth. By Rev. John Cumming.
New York Rudd & Carlton. 1860.
Dr. Cumming is a highly celebrated
preacher of London, very much given to dis
course on the prophecies, and the discussion
of prophetic times and halftimes, and to
cyphering out from the mystical numbers
in Daniel and the Revelations, when Popery
is to breathe its last gasp, Mahometanism to
cease from the face of the earth, and possibly
| the world itself, as a residence for the human
family, come to an end, some of which great
| events, he thinks are to occur in 1867. The
volume before US is a second series of lectures
from the learned and lively doctor, on those
topics. DR.. Cumming is an interesting wri
ter, and however difficult task it may be Tor
him to bring all who read his lively discourses
to agree with all his conclusions, be will easi-
ly satisfy them of his earnest purpose and
good spirit.

CHRISTIAN BELIEVING AND LIvING.-SermOns
by F. d. Huntington, d. D., Preacher to
the University, and Plummer Profess or Of
Christian Morals in Harvard College. Bos-
ton Crosby & Nichols & Co., 1860.
This is volume of twenty-five sermons,
by Professor Huntington, on several of the
great topics of Christian doctrine and the
important verities of Christian life. So faras we
can judge from the perusal of three or four of
the discOurses, taken up at random, and a
cursory look at the titles of the others, the
volume seems to be one of excellent spirit and !
tendency. The discourses are full of earnest
religious thought presented in an uncommon
ly attractive manner. The style of writing ,
and mode Of treating the subjects are consid-

seen in sermons from the pulpit devia-
ton which will not lessen but probably will ,
add to the attractiveness of the discourses
with not few minds, without injuring, so
far as we can see, their usefulness with any,
Hardly any preacher in New England has
drawn more attention from the religious
public than Prof. Huntington has of late
years. Yet he does not write to draw atten-
ton, but to do good-not to win followers
TO himself but souls to his Divine Master
So far as we have examined the volume, it
seems quite free from polemics, properly so
,alled. There are, however, one or two dis
courses which set forth in a clear and decided
manner, the adherence by the author to Trim
tartan doctrines in place OF those which ne
adopted in the early part of his ministry q
