SCRIPTURAL RELATION OF RELIGION AND THE STATE, by G. C. Tenney, formerly editor of the Bible Echo, of Australia. This is No. 17 of the Religious Liberty Library, and is a pamphlet of about 80 pages, on a very important subject. We have not had time to read the pamphlet, but from our knowledge of the writer we feel free to recommend it. It deals with important principles, as the following chapter headings will show: What Is Required of the Church? What Is the Legitimate Sphere of Civil Government? Morality and Civility, The State Not a Personal, Moral Agent, The Relation of State and Church, Whence Persecution Arises, Where Shall the Line Be Drawn? Is It Lawful to Pay Tribute? How about Sunday Laws? Danger Ahead. Price, ten cents. Address, International Religious Liberty Association, 271 W. Main St., Battle Creek, Mich., or any of our tract societies.
THE COMPLETE VEST POCKET LIBRARY, or the "Columbian Pocket Companion," by E. Edgar Miles. The work is just what its name indicates. It is put up in a neat little volume of 200 pages, suitable for the vest pocket. The little work contains A Table of Contents, The Columbian Word Builder, by means of which over 25,000 words may be added to those in the vocabulary, A List of Abbreviations, Pronouncing Dictionary and Speller, Synonyms, Plurals, Compounds, and Test Words (the very words which call for a dictionary), with alphabetical index, a list of class words, proper names and proper adjectives, Pronouncing and Statistical Gazetteer of the World, Digest of Parliamentary Practice, Rapid Calculator and Business Forms, Summary of Etiquette, Perpetual Calendar, etc., etc. It is an invaluable little book for all, giving large information and monopolizing little room—a multum in parvo. In morocco, gilt edges, 50 cents; cloth, red edges, 25 cents. Address Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal.
Through the courtesy of Rev. James O'Connor, the editor and publisher, volume 10 of the Converted Catholic (bound) has come to our table. For ten years "Father" O'Connor has striven nobly and indefatigably to win Roman Catholics from the errors of their ways to Christ. He has boldly exposed the fallacies of many Roman Catholic doctrines, and the subtle schemes of Jesuitical craft. The bound volume is valuable as a library reference. Price, $1.00. The new volume begins with January, 1894, enlarged in size and scope, with new type dress. The first number of the new year contains a portrait and sketch of the editor, who was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1871, but has been engaged in evangelistical work for 15 years. The magazine for 1894 is $1.00. Address The Converted Catholic, 142 West Twenty-first Street, New York.
