The complete title, which is
given above, sufficiently ex-
plains the character of this vol
rlme. 1t is essentially doctrinal
work, and discusses the general
subject from the New Testament
teaching, as interpreted by
Upiversalists. 1t presents the
Christian view of the resurrec-
ton, considers it's nature, the
relation of the Present with the
Future Life, the conditions of
man in the future world, the
nature of the change wrought
by a change of worlds, the res
direction body and the sinless
condition of the Resurrection
Life. 1t discusses various in
teresting subjects connected
with our views of Immortality,
such as. Shall we know each 9TH
er in Heaven =? Will rewards
and punishments be melted out

with all its shades and touch
ing beauties. Its whole setting
is as of precious stones. Like a
Madonna of Raphael, the more
you study it the more you are
enraptured by it. AS it is ex-
amined, the most gifted orator
is before you. You seem to
hear anew his deep-toned and
wonderfully euphonic voice.
You feel again his rapturous
enthusiasm and overpowering
emotion. You catch new scin-
citations of beauty dropping
from a great soul. His humane
spirit sets your heart aglow
with love for humanity. His
great faith in God and Christ
fixes you to the Eternal Rock"

Blood Diseases are cured by
the persevering use of Ayers
Sarsaparilla.
This medicine is an Alternative, and
causes radical change in the system.
The process, in some cases, may not be
quite SO rapid as in others but, with
persistence, the result is certain.

in the Resurrection Life ? etc.
The author bases his argument
on the Scriptures throughout;
and unfolds his conclusions in
the luminous light of the in
spired Record. incidentally he
shows the impotence OF much
of the speculation and philoso-
ply entertained at the present
day. The book has grown out
of DR.. Quinby's work as an ed
jtor in answering in the columns
of his newspaper the questions
of correspondents anxious to
learn the views of Universalists
on the subject of the Resurrec-
ton Life. Written i'll a clear,
direct and familiar style, it
meets a very general want. and
will build up its readers in the
faith and hope of the New les
lament.
