Ask for the Old Paths

An earnest plea and a powerful argument for a return to primitive Christian principles are presented in the book.

Outlines of Modern Science and Modern Christianity

The work is by GEO. E. McCREADY PRICE, and is intensely interesting throughout. Every student and intelligent reader will recognize in even a partial synopsis of the contents a feast of good things. For instance, we find under

Many quotations could be given from this excellent work which prove that the author has approached these great subjects with candor, and has treated them with clearness and irresistible logic.
