will soon overtake these degraded disuu-

themselves from the foul imputation

Now they wish TO make the people be-
lieve that the war should be continued
until the last man is exterminated-not
themselves. They are very patriotic as
long as they can induce others to 90 and
they be left TO receive the emoIuments of

In spite Of Bishop Colenso, and other critics OF
the historical accuracy Of the Old Testament, Mr.
rockingham holds that its graphic narratives and
beautiful traditions present a rich storehouse of
spiritual TRUTH religious suggestion, and moral IN
suiraton. He is not disposed TO inquire too curl
ously into the literal significance Of the patrisrcha
stories, but like Origen and other ancient doctors
of the church, and Swedenborg and his followers
in more recent times he would seek for the essen
tial. living ideas concealed beneath the veil Of
Oriental symbols, and apply them to tho wants and
aspirations of modern society. His little volume
consists Of series of familiar discourses or lessons
intended for the elder classes Of his own Sunday
School; but the wealth Of Illustration and rare
felicity of expression which illuminate its pages
will prove attractive to readers of every age.
The following extract from the lesson on " Mama
in the Wilderness" will furnish sufficiently exact
example Of Mr.. Frotbngham's favorite method OF
instruction.
