This book has been before the Church some twenty years. When first issued, it received the prompt endorsement of the best minds of the Church — including several Bishops and Editors of our periodicals — official and unofficial. It has passed through many editions, and been extensively read in the United States and Canada, and, by common consent, taken the position of a standard work.

Finding that another edition was called for, we purchased the book; and we now feel sincere pleasure in presenting it to the Christian public, enlarged and thoroughly revised by the author.
