CHRIsTIANiIN ByArthur Penrhyn
Stanley, D. D., dean of Westminster, author
| Of "History of the Jewish Church, etc.
| From Charles Scribner's Sons, New York.
| For sale by st. Paul Book and Stationery Co.
The main purpose of these essays is to show
that underneath the sentiments and usages
which have accumulated round the forms OF
Christianity, there is a class of principles
which, however dimly expressed, has given
them whatever vitality they possess They
maintain, also, that there is enough in them
of valuable truth to give these ancient institu-
lions use in times and circumstances most
different from those in which they originated.
This book shows the entire unlikeness of the
carly days of Christianity to our own, and
how very soon "out of state of things en-
| tirely opposite may be born q religious sys-
TEN which claims to be the genuine successor.
Witness the sober self-control of the
Society CT Friends, founded by William
Penn, which sprang from the strange, indie
| the transformations which have occurred with
regard to Christianity is the use of the Litany.
1t is one of the parts of the prayer book,
neither primitive nor reformed. 1t was occa-
stoned by combination of circumstances OF
the most unusual kind. It had Its origin
amidst forebOdings of universal destruction.
The very word Litany had its origin in long
| professions, screams and cries, marching to
| and fro of wild and excited multitudes. Now
all these have disappeared, only the substance
has continued. What has happened in the
Itany has occurred again and again with
e very part of our ecclesiastical system, always
the form and the letter are perishing, only the
truth lives" We have space to give only q
brief outline of this instructive volume.
1t is invaluable to all who are interested in &C.
clesiastical matters, presenting many facts,
and eIdeavoring to unite the forms OF secular
and sacred life.
HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION TO A.
D. 200. By Charles B. Waite, A. NJ. Pub
| lished by C. v. Waite & Co., Chicago, III.
Price, $3.50 in cloth; $3.50 in sheep, library
edition.
| This book is an important historical inves-
| tigation of the origin of the New Testament,
and the chief doctrines of the Christian church.
The very nub and kernel of Judge Waite's
book is, that of the New Testament writings,
only the ten admitted epistles of Paul, and
possibly one or two of Peter or John, were
written during the first century. The books
in the nature of gospels then written, were the
| Gospel of Paul, the Recollections of Peter,
and the Oracles of Christ, supposed to have
been written by Matthew.
| All these books as independent works are
lost, but enough is known, however, about
the three original works to indicate that not
the Immaculate conception OF Jesus, his ma
| terial resurrection, or his miracles, were
taught.
| As to the truth or falsity of Judge Waite's
assertions, all readers must judge for them
selves. To show his method of reasoning we
cite his assertion regarding Christ's miracles.
He claims as one point proven that since Paul
nowhere mentions or makes illusions to any
miracles as having been performed by Christ,
| that Christ never did perform any; that the
accounts of the miracles are forgeries, and
that the forgers omitted to inject accounts OF
them into Paul's writings.

The story of Carthage and her wars with
Rome, which left her city of silence and des-
olation, is one of great interest, and as the
city and its civilization can no longer speak
| for themselves, that fact gives value to any
authentic history of them.
