APPLICATION.

The Life and Teaching of Jesus Christ.

By the Four EVANGELISTS. Being a chronological arrangement of
the Gospel Narratives. With an Introductory Study by the Very
Rev. F. W. FARRAR, Dean of Canterbury. In this work, which is
printed on art paper, all the actual words of our Lord and Old Testa-
ment quotations appear in special types, different from that used in
other parts of the book. With 32 fine Full-page Illustrations of the

Holy Land. 3/6.
The Methodist Times says:—"This charming book is not a new Life of Christ; it is
not a theological or ethical treatise upon it. It is just simply an arrangement of the
matter contained in the four Gospels into one consecutive modern narrative. The author
has really edited the sacred narratives, and, without using a single word of his own, has
reconstructed the life and teaching of our Lord. The book is convenient in size and
price, and beautifully printed. It deserves the widest circulation.”

DR. JOSEPH PARKER'S GREAT WORK.
Studies in Texts.

By Joseph PARKER, D.D. A Series of Six Volumes, containing
Sermons, Outlines and Suggestions, suitable for Preachers, Bible
Students, etc., and for Home and Family Reading.
The First Three VOLUMES ARE NOW Ready.

3/6
Black and White says:-" This is a book at once for the Christian believer and for
the student of style. No wonder that this marvellous orator can hold thousands of people
spellbound at his truly inspired utterances.”

The British Weekly says :—“Dr. Parker's Studies in Texts promises to be one of his most valuable productions. The second volume contains some of his brightest thoughts, and will suggest many things to every preacher. The book has the great merit of being new in every sense.

DR. ALEXANDER MCLAREN'S NEW BOOK.
A Rosary of Christian Graces.

By the Rev. ALEXANDER MCLAREN, D.D.
Forming the fourth volume in the “ Present-Day Preachers ” Series.
Crown 8vo, handsomely bound, full gilt. 3/6.

The Independent says:—“Dr. McLaren has never given us iner work, and the
publishers have done their part with exquisite taste-indeed, I question whether a volume
of sermons has ever been produced in a more handsome and attractive form."
