Old Testament Ethics Vindicated.
By Editor
THIS is the title of a book of 288 (large) pages, written by Rev. W. A. Jarrell, of the Baptist church. When we first saw a notice of this book the title attracted our attention, and we had a desire to obtain it. A few days since we were pleased to receive a call from the author, from whom we received a copy. We have not had time to read it; but have examined the plan and contents, and can speak only favorably of it. We have read some portions of it, and feel assured that it is calculated to do much good in this age when many are so greatly undervaluing the Old Testament. We shall speak of it again, and give an outline of its contents, and make some selections from it for our paper. It is receiving strong commendations from prominent men of different denominations. Bishop Hurst recommends it, and Bishop Wilson, of Baltimore, says he shall use its facts and arguments, which is the best evidence of his appreciation. Eld. Jarrell has come to California for his health, and is now in this city. Those who wish to obtain a copy of the book can address him at Oakland, Cal. The price is $1.50.
