THE first issue of this valuable work is almost sold out, and a second edition will be (D.V.) published this month. The work has been very favourably reviewed by the Evangelical press and magazines, and testimonials of appreciation from intelligent and exercised believers have been privately received, all showing that it was good and right not to have allowed material so precious to sink into oblivion. The book is not one to be hurriedly read and then cast aside. Its contents are deep and high—God glorifying, Christ magnifying, Holy Spirit honouring, sinner abasing, and yet blessedly encouraging: unsolding, tender, and loving are the appeals to those who are without to come within the fold of the blessed Redeemer, and rich in spiritual nutriment to such as are there. The theological lectures are admirably suited to meet some of the prevalent heresies of the hour, and helpful to believers in bringing their minds to the right position to view the subjects discussed, as well as to edify them therein. The expression and diction are admirable, as might be expected from so thorough a master of languages as Dr Duncan was. Altogether, the more the book is read the greater will be the reader’s delight and reward—it is evidential, confirming, and spiritually sustaining and antidotal to much of the poisonous teaching purveyed from the pestilential marshes of modernism. We again heartily recommend this goodly volume, and would ask our friends who may be sending presents overseas to bear it in mind. It is a timely gift to all, and specially to such as are in districts of spiritual dearth. The price is reduced to 4s, postage 6d, per copy, a figure that barely covers cost and selling expenses. Orders will be received by Miss Grant, 33 Academy Street, Inverness; Mr Ross, Parbold, Lancashire; and Messrs Thynne and Jarvis, Ltd., 28 Whitefriars’ Street, London, E.C. 4.
