" She is not Dead, but Sleepeth."
Luke viii: 50.

Yes, lay her in that hallowed bed,
There rested once Immanuel's head;
But whisper there the words he said,
"She is not dead, but sleepeth."
Let faith its glorious task perform,
Picturing now that unconscious form,
Hallowing with life and beauty warm,
"She is not dead, but sleepeth "
Oh, never will she wake again
Sick, weary, feeble, or in pain.
No trace of suffering will remain.
For she in Jesus sleepeth.
Full many conflict she has known
In tears full often she has sown:
The fight is fought, the victory won,
She rests and sweetly sleepeth.
When the bright beams of glory fill
That narrow chamber, dark and still,
She will sit up and meekly smile.
"She is not dead, but sleepeth."
The voice of her beloved will say:
Arise, my fair, come away.
Oh with what Joy will she obey.
"She is not dead, but sleepeth."
Then varied in power, in beauty drest,
Jesus will guide the lonely guest,
And place her at the marriage feast.
"She is not dead, but sleepeth."

John Hall, D. d. New York: l. K. Funk

We cordially thank Messrs Funk & Co. for
this publication, at price, which places this
valuable work within the reach of numbers of
ministers and Bible students who could not pur-
chase the more expensive edition. Messrs. Funk
q Co. are doing an invaluable service to the
reading public by their cheap editions of impor
tant work which the mass of the people have
hitherto found beyond their means. Let those
who can afford it buy handsome books but w,
want also cheap editions for scanty purses. anc
those with the scanty purses are often the mos
aPPreciative readers. The country is flooded
with cheap French novels, and cheap Englisl
fiction that is little better to say nothing of GU
magazines and reviews. 1t is, therefore, grea
and noble enterprise which Messrs. Funk g. Co
have undertaken, to spread with an equal
lavish hand over the land a sound religions III
erature, which shall be within the reach of ali
As for DR.. Murphy, he needs no commenda

his commentaries on Genesis and Exodus hav
taken rank at once with the ablest and the mo.
learned on these difficult books, while they ar
characterised by the sound theology and III,
