The PnoBLEM or HUMAN LIFE, HERE AND
fIInEArrgR by A.. Milford Hail.
We have been favored by the author and
publisher with copy of the above famous
work. IA il claimed that this book has I'M
ouestionably received from the press and
clergy stronger praise than any other book
ever published, and that it is universally ad-
mitted TO DO the only work in existence
which absolutely demonstrates personal
God md the immortality Of the soul by
science alone, without the MD Of the Bible,
utterly annihlating the theories of Darwin,
Huxley, Tyndall, and H@kel, that man de-
veloped from the lower animals. No better
proof of the extraordinary character OF this
work can be desired than the numerous ex-
tracts from the religious aud secular press,
strongly endorsing it.

Jesus are in larger type. The writer states
that he got the idea of the book from John
Quincy Adams, who records that he had
collected all the words of Jesus for his own
use and ediication We do not recollect
seeing this statement before, but are pretty
sure that we have read similar one of
Thomas Jefferson, who though not regarded
Ms specially ORTHODOX" in his views, was
also quite impressed by his compilation of
the words of Jesus The idea of the book
was q happy one, and it must become fav-
orte with Christian minister's and people.
