a Remarkable Book by AkeY. Il.
DexEift TaImaSe, D. ID.

This is said TO be q year Of remarkable
books, but doubtless the most remarka-
BILE that will appear for some time to
come is Rev. T, Dewitt Talmage's new
work ON the Life of Christi and pale
slime and its People" Some idea of what
the book contains and how it was prepar-
ed may be obtained by reading the fol-
lowing extract from the Doctors preface:
sin my American home, on the At
lantic, on Mediterranean, on camel's
back, on horseback, under chandelier, by
dim candle in tent, en- Lake Galilee, in
convent, at Bethel where Jacobs pillow
was stuffed with dreams, and the angels
Of the ladder landed; at the brook Elah,
from which litde David picked up the
ammunition of five smooth stones, four
more than were needed for crushing like
an egg-shell the skull of Goliath; in the
Valley of Ajalon, over which, at Joshua's
command, Astronomy halted; on the
plain of EsdT3lon, the battlefield of
ages, its long red flowers suggestive of
the blood dashed to the bits Of the horses
brides; amid the shattered masonry of
Jericho, in Jerusalem that overshadows
all other cities in "reminiscences, at Cana
where plain water became festal bever-
age, on Calvary whose aslant and ruptur-
ed rocks stin show the effects of the
earthquake at the awful hemorrhage of
the five wounds that purchased the
worlds rescue, and with my hand nit
tened from the storm, or wet from the
Jordan, or barred to the sun, or gliding
over smooth table, this book has been
written.'
This book will certainly be worth read
ing and preserving. 1t is not only life
of Christ from an entirely new stand
point, but it is also a very interesting his
tory of country and people who occupy
a prominent place in the thoughts and
feelings of all Christian nations. The
large number of excellent pictures of
places and scenery in the Holy Land with
which the volume is illustrated, give it a
special interest and value. We cannot
