UNIVERSALISM OF THE LORDS
Prayer. BY Rev. J. G. Adams, d. d
16mo 1873 pages. so cents.
This volume on the Lords Prayer diff
fers from all others on the subject in
making the Universalism of the prayer
the prominent feature of discussion. By
"Universalism" DR.. Adams means some
thing more than the adaptation of the
prayer to all classes and conditions of
mankind; he means, to give his own
words, "the principles on which the
prayer is based, the essential truths which
it involves, viz: the Divine Paternity;
the perfection of the Divine Law and the
righteousness of the Divine Administra-
ton; the allegiance which all souls owe
to it, and the assurance that, by the di-
vine power, and in accordance with divine
love, all souls will become the obedient
subjects of this administration. The
central purpose of the volume, therefore,
is to show the doctrinal teachings of the
prayer as in harmony with the principles
of the Universalist faith. The several
sections of the prayer are taken up and
discussed with this purpose clearly in
view, its divine statements illustrated by
other passages of Scripture, its principles
elucidated, and the prayer, as whole,
revealed as a concise summary of the
doctrines on which our church is based
DR.. Adams has done his work in an adj
mirable manner; and while enforcing our
positive religious ideas, he does not dog
Matte Extensively. His book can be read
with pleasure even by those who dissent
from his conclusions. Address orders to

noted texts which are adduced to support
endless punishment In the opening
discourses the doctrine is shown to be
unreasonable. opposed to God, unscrip-
tural; and He'll, the Second Death, Bias
phemy against the Holy Ghost, Rich

and searching book will be welcome

prevails, it will do ready execution. Ad-
