MY PROGRESS IN ERROR,

AND RECOVERY TO TRUTH.

Or, a Tour through Universalism, Unitarianism, and Skepticism. Extract of a Letter from Professor Stuart, Andover.

GENTLEMEN-I have received a copy of My Progress in Error,' and read it with attention and much interest. I take the liberty to say, that, in my judgment, the author of that book has written a plain and unvarnished account of the operations not only of his own mind, but of many others. The author has gone through the whole, without personal abuse of any body, and without any slanderous insinuations. It seems to me, that what he has said about the operations of Unitarian sentiments, he has been compelled to say by a regard to truth. In fact, I regard the book as a remarkable example of prudent forbearance, as to stigmatizing either opponents or their sentiments. I predict it will be found fault with, and violently attacked. But, in my humble opinion, the reason of this will be, that the author has drawn a true likeness of so many; and when this is held up to public view, it is not a very pleasing portrait. Who likes to be seen in a forbidding picture? The book will be read, notwithstanding newspaper criticism, and, if I do not miscalculate greatly, it will aid much in opening the eyes of the public, as to the workings and evasions of a skeptical spirit. Bid the author of it God speed. Your friend and servant, M. STUART.

CHURCH DISCIPLINE;

The Scripture Doctrine of Church Order and Government.
By Rev. WARHAM WALKER, Homer, N. Y.

One volume. 18mo. Cloth.

A timely and very useful work.

From the Professors in Hamilton Literary and Theol. Institution. We have carefully perused the most important parts of the manuscript, and the result has been highly gratifying. The work is characterized by great sobriety and caution. We believe the views it presents to be scriptural; and that where they are not supported by the direct and positive declaration of the Word of God, they are, at least, sustained by the general spirit of the teachings of Christ and his apostles. Such a work as this, we think, is greatly needed; it is well adapted to promote correct views and uniformity of practice in relation to the subject of which it treats. We cordially recommend it to the careful perusal of the members of our churches. J. S. MAGINNIS, T. J. CONANT, A. C. KENDRICK,

Hamilton, Nov. 6, 1843.

ANTIOCH;

Or, Increase of Moral Power in the Church of Christ.

By Rev. P. CHURCH. With an Introductory
Essay, by Rev. BARON STOW.

Here is a volume which will make a greater stir than any didactic work that has been issued for many a day. It is a book of close and consecutive thought, and treats of subjects which are of the deepest interest at the present time, to the churches of this country. The author is favorably known to the religious public, as an original thinker, and a forcible writer, his style is lucid and vigorous. The Introduction, by Mr. Stow, adds much to the value and attractions of the volume.- Chr. Reflector.

THE

EXTENT OF THE ATONEMENT

IN ITS RELATION TO

GOD AND THE UNIVERSE.

FROM ENGLISH REVIEWS.

"We have been exceedingly gratified by the perusal of this volume, and only regret that it should have reached a second edition without our having had an opportunity of recommending it, as we now most cordially do, to the notice of the public. We really do not know any work which we would sooner recommend than this, to those Christians who desire to obtain rational and scriptural views of the Atonement."- Evangelical Magazine.

"We think, with conclusive certainty, that this paramount and transcendent doctrine has never been presented in such a series of lucid disquisition, and with a comprehension so adapted to the majesty of the subject, in any book published in the United Kingdom. According to our judgment, we think it difficult for any man to read this work thoughtfully without having his mind overwhelmed with astonishment at the wonderful process by which is brought before him the Atonement of Christ in its relations to all the administrations of God; and without feeling his soul kindling with emotions the most devout and glowing in the presence of the glorious sacrifice of the Mediator. We have received so much information, edification and delight in the perusal of this work, that we most unhesitatingly commend it, and do, in the warmest manner, press it upon the attention of our readers." Home Missionary Mag

azine.

"An excellent treatise, on the most solemn and interesting subject of which the human heart is cognisable. Its strictly scriptural, and its tenderly benevolent tone is not more to be praised than its arguments and illustrations are convincing and satisfactory."-Monthly Review.

[From the New York Evangelist.]

"As a treatise on the grand relation of the Atonement, it is a book which may be emphatically said to contain 'the seeds of things,' the elements of mightier and nobler contributions of thought respecting the sacrifice of Christ, than any modern production. It is characterized by highly original and dense trains of thought, which make the reader feel that he is holding communion with a mind that can 'mingle with the universe.' We consider this volume as setting the long and fiercely agitated question, as to the extent of the Atonement, completely at rest. Posterity will thank the author till the latest ages for his illustrious arguments. The grandeur with which it invests the Son of God, and the glories of his sacrifice which it displays as shedding their light and influence over the whole extended empire of Jehovah, give it an extraordinary claim upon the attention of the reading community. We think it not improbable that this volume will prove a star in the east, to guide 'the wise men' again to the incarnate, suffering Redeemer, and to bring back the genius of this apostate world to pay its homage, and yield its richest contributions of thought, to the theme of the crucifixion."
