The FIRE OF COPS ANGER: Or Light from
the Old Testament upon the New Tesla
ment Teaching Concerning Future Pun
1shment. By IL. O. Baker, Philadelphia
Pa. Price 80 cents by mail.
The author of this book has served many
years in the ministry of the Presbyterian
church. Coming from such a source the
book is rather remarkable. The idea of
the book is that the resurrection from the
dead is in itself redemption that the
standing up" the "arousing' is moral
process, the resurrection is a process
of sorting and judgment as we'll as deliy-
erance." In this idea the author claims to
have erected ga barrier against that crude
universalism which has come in as a reaction
against the old creed-doctrine of hell" He
says, " We want rational doctrine of hell,
as we'll as full gospel proclamation of him
who holds its keys, and whose resurrection
shed down its light of hope among the spir-
its in prison." The book has manifestly
been called out by the Andover Controversy.
His concern is mainly for the poor heather
and the difficulty of bringing them into the
church under the old doctrine which sends
their ancestors to perdition. 1t seems to be
very candid book, written in the interests
of truth and with an earnest, kindly spirit.
Many interpretations of passages have long
been familiar to Universalist theologians
but that will not prevent any reader from
getting many valuable ideas from the read

WENDELL PHILLIPS.

The Life and Times of Wendell Phillips,
by George Lowell Austin, is published in a
new edition by Lee 81 Shepard, Boston. 1t
complete biography of the great anti-slavery
orator and review of his times and opinions
thus far published or likely to be published
for long series of years. The volume is
very largely review of the great movements
in the history of American agitation for the
last forty years. The Slavery agitation, Tenn
perance, Woman's Rights, Labor Reform,
Prison Reform-wlth all these and other
movements relating to the good of humanity,
Mr.. Phillips YVES closely identified. The
early anti-slavery agitation for years prior to
the war is very comprehensively discussed,
and various extracts given from Mr.. Phil
lips speeches. During the time of the civil
war Mr.. Phillips kept to the front of pub
lie attention and his leadership was transfer
red to the loyal hosts who sympathized with
the armies of the Union in the field. His
more recent labors, temperance and labor
movements, are also very clearly set before
the readers, and many extracts are given
from his addresses on these topics, and also
from his lectures and speeches on religious
subjects. The closing chapter is devoted to
Eulogies and Tributes" which were called
forth by his death in 1852. Mr.. Austin's vol
ume is very interesting and valuable one,
and deserves permanent place in the libra
ry. 1t is illustrated with steel engraving of
the silver-tongued orator, and four engrav-
1ngs on wood, the latter of which, in our
Judgment, are too cheap looking for so we'll
printed and important a book.

Morning Session.

CHICAGO, July 19.-At the opening of
court in the Burlington conspiracy case
Attorney Danahoe, after ascertaining
that the government rested its case,
urged that arguments should be sub
mitted before final action of the court
should be taken. He said the proof
shown in the case did not show parti-
Gle of evidence duplicating Godding, and
asserted that If Mr.. Ewing should ask
the jury tos.eonyict Godding, or the court
that would convict him, deserved i'm
peachment. Attorney David followed
in an endeavor to show there was no
constitutional ground upon which to hold
Goddina or Bauereisen to the grand jury.
United States District attorney Ewing
declined to make arguments. "This case
does not end here,'' said Commissioner
Hoyne, aand think Godding must have
had knowledge of the intent of the other
parties, and / must hold him with Bauer
eisen and Broderick to the grand Jury. .
The question of bail was next considered,
and the sum of $1,000 was finally in
sisted upon by the court in the cases of
Broderick, Bauereisen and Godding..
Important developments are promised
by Attorneys Donahoe and David con-
cerning the actions OF Pinkerton's agency
in this case when on trial before jury.
1t is understood that as soon as the
prisoners are released on bail that they
(Rroderick, Bauereisen and Godding) will
be re-arrested on state warrants charg-
ing them with bringing dynamite into
the state, contrary to law.
1t is stated that there are five war
rants out for parties in this city, and
