Expositor's Bible: The Epistles of St. John Part 39

_WORKS BY DR. THAIN DAVIDSON._

=1. A GOOD START.= Sixth Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3_s._ 6_d._

"Books which are confessedly and designedly 'improving' without being dull, are not very common. Such books Dr. Davidson has already proved his capacity to write, and these 'homely talks' with young men are not inferior to his previous efforts. Earnest and plain, and strictly adapted to the understanding of the ordinary man, they are never careless or meaningless."--_Academy_.

=2. SURE TO SUCCEED.= Eighth Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3_s._ 6_d._

"An excellent present for a youth just going into business or coming up to London. It consists of twenty pithy and practical lectures to young men."--_Record_.

=3. FOREWARNED--FOREARMED.= Eighth Thousand.

Crown 8vo, cloth, 3_s._ 6_d._

"Weighty counsels. Dr. Davidson is remarkably at home in talks with young men. His words glow with an intense earnestness which demands and obtains attention from his readers."--_Sword and Trowel_.

=4. THE CITY YOUTH.= Seventh Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3_s._ 6_d._

"A volume well worthy to rank with his previous works on kindred subjects. Dr. Davidson's matter and manner are alike excellent. About the former there is no suspicion of what hasty people might call cant, while the latter is serious but not heavy. Dr. Davidson aims at no impossible standard; he is as sympathetic as he is acute, as kind as he is firm."--_Globe_.

=5. TALKS WITH YOUNG MEN.= Fifteenth Thousand.

Crown 8vo, cloth, 3_s._ 6_d._

"For sterling common-sense combined with true spiritual feeling, they have not been surpa.s.sed for many a day. The addresses bristle with telling metaphors and ill.u.s.trations, and the book can be read from cover to cover with profitable interest."--_Literary World_.

=THE CATACOMBS OF ROME=, and their Testimony Relative to Primitive Christianity. By the Rev. W. H. WITHROW, M.A.

Sixth Edition. 134 Ill.u.s.trations. Crown 8vo; cloth, 6_s._

"Mr. Withrow's account of the catacombs of Rome is an exceedingly painstaking and thorough-going work, and whether or not the writer may be correct in all his inferences, they have evidently been founded upon diligent information. He could not have very much that was absolutely new to tell on the subject; but as a convenient account of the most remarkable and interesting monuments of primitive Christianity, of those excavations which furnished the persecuted Church with refuges during life and in death, which formed her places of wors.h.i.+p in times of peril, and received the remains of martyrs, the present volume is perhaps inferior to none of its predecessors."--_Sat.u.r.day Review_.

=THE HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.= By GEORGE P. FISHER, D.D., LL.D. With Seven Coloured Maps. New Edition. Fifteenth Thousand. 8vo, 712 pp., 12_s._

"We are sincerely thankful to Dr. Fisher for having collected with so much labour, and sifted with so much clearness, a perfectly overwhelming ma.s.s of facts, and we are certain that his book will be frequently referred to by students of Church History, as a trustworthy compendium and outline of the main events in the history of the Church."--_Guardian_.

_BY THE SAME AUTHOR._

=THE GROUNDS OF THEISTIC AND CHRISTIAN BELIEF.= 8vo, cloth, 10_s._ 6_d._

"The book, which we have frequently recommended, is an able defence of both natural and supernatural religion, and forms practically a modern appendix to Butler's 'a.n.a.logy.' The work is not merely an 'apology'; it pursues the attack with considerable vigour, and hence it provides an ample armoury whence to draw weapons for use against the arguments of unbelieving scientists and philosophers."--_Church Times_.

=IRELAND AND THE ANGLO-NORMAN CHURCH=: A History of Ireland and Irish Christianity from the Anglo-Norman Conquest to the Dawn of the Reformation. By Rev.

Preb. G. T. STOKES, D.D., Professor of Ecclesiastical History in the University of Dublin. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6_s._

"Dr. Stokes's brilliant lectures."--_Athenaeum_.

"His narrative, enlivened by anecdotes, and by information of a most recondite sort, is throughout brimful of interest."--_Academy_.

_BY THE SAME AUTHOR._

=IRELAND AND THE CELTIC CHURCH:= A History of Ireland from St. Patrick to the English Conquest in 1172.

Third Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6_s._

"Any one who can make the dry bones of ancient Irish history live again may feel sure of finding an audience sympathetic, intelligent, and ever-growing. Dr. Stokes has this faculty in a high degree."--_Westminster Review_.

_WORKS BY THE REV. J. R. MILLER, D.D._

=A MESSAGE FOR THE DAY.= A Year's Daily Readings.

Fourth Thousand. 16mo, cloth, 3_s._ 6_d._

"A beautiful little work, from a pen which has been blessed to many.

Each page is headed by a text of Scripture, and following this are ill.u.s.trative remarks, and words designed to press home the Divine message. In many cases poetical selections complete the helpful page."--_Christian_.

_DR. J. R. MILLER'S NEW YEAR BOOKLETS._ _Suitable for General Circulation._

=1. SECRETS OF A HAPPY HOME LIFE.= Thirteenth Thousand. 6_d._

Dr. Miller's "Silent Times" Series.

_Elegantly bound, parchment cloth, gilt top, 3s. 6d. each._

=1. MAKING THE MOST OF LIFE.= Seventh Edition.

"They contain an abundance of pithy sentiment, and the winning manner in which it is conveyed, together with the tenderness of appeal which underlies all that is said, rivets attention. The many short stories and episodes which give point to the writer's observations are introduced with much skill and effect."--_Rock_.

=2. THE EVERY-DAY OF LIFE.= Fifth Edition.

"Rich in suggestion and full of truth."--_Dundee Advertiser_.

"Dr. Miller very fitly dedicates his new book to 'those who want to grow better.' By such his pages will be read with mingled delight and profit, for they are full of apt quotation, striking and abundant ill.u.s.tration, and great knowledge of human nature."--_Literary World_.

=3. SECRETS OF A BEAUTIFUL LIFE.= Third Edition.

"This charming and helpful book."--_Church Times_.
