"History of Protestantism."
By Editor
If it is necessary that a citizen should know the history of his country, it is equally important that a Christian should know by what struggles the light that he enjoys was brought to him. Every Protestant should study carefully the great Reformation, and not only that, but the various steps of the great apostasy that made a reformation necessary. Aside from the Bible, there is nothing that will incite one to earnestness and self-sacrifice in the cause of God, more than a study of the lives of those who stood up boldly against error, and counted not their lives dear if they might win Christ and bring others to a knowledge of him. To this end we recommend the books above named. The set consists of three volumes, aggregating 1,900 pages, profusely illustrated and well written. When we say that the Rev. J. A. Wylie, author of the "History of the Waldenses," is the author of these books, no other commendation is needed. The historical details are given with a freshness that compels attention. No one who reads it will complain that reading history is dull work. It is just the thing to place in the hands of young people to get them interested in the great themes of which it treats. Price, three vols., $15.
