Admires Paster Russall’s Book.

Atlanta Uonstitutio.i:—Kill Arp. the “Southern Philosopher," wrote Ihe following review of "i’he Divine Finn of the Ages” some lime before he diul: “It is impossible to read tills book without loving the writer and p ntler iug his wbnderfui solution of the great mysteries that hive troubled us all our lives. There is barely a family to be found that lu nut 1-st some loved one who died out.-ide the- chiir. h—outside the plan of . uv.iiiou. aud. if Calvinism be true, c-vi-.ee < 1 ah hope and inside of eternal b rmejit and despair.

It is built up stone by stoke, and upon every stone Is the 'text* and it becomes a pyramid of God’s love, and mercy, and wisdom. “There is nothing in the Bible that the author denies or doubts, but there are many texts that he throws a flood of light upon that seems to remove •from them the dark and gloomy meanilng. I see that editors of leading jourmals and many orthodox Ministers of different denominations have endorsed It and have confessed to this new and ‘comforting light that has dawned upon the interpretation of God’s Book. Then let every man read and ponder and take comfort, for we are all prisoners of hope. This is an age of advanced thought, and more thinking is done than ever before —men dare to think now. Light—more light—is the watchword.” : 355 pages—cloth bound, 35 cents, (postpaid. Bible and Tract Society, 17 ! Hicks Street, Brooklyn, N. Y.
