We have just received the following commendation of this work from an earnest Christian worker in Maine :— HAVING read Dr. Geikie's life and works of Christ, I find it more interesting the farther I read; and when he introduces us to the trial and crucifixion of Jesus, one can almost imagine himself present to witness the cruel mockery, and the terrible scenes of Calvary. Although I am not prepared to indorse all that is said in the book, yet I think it the best I ever read of the kind. Address, SIGNS OF THE TIMES, Oakland, Cal.
