A New Work.

By Editor

We shall have ready in a few days a work, written by Eld. Moses Hull, the nature of which is indicated by the beautiful title, The Bible from Heaven. It contains 188 pages, put up neatly in paper covers. Price 25 cents, postage 5 cents.

This is a work for the times. It should be widely circulated to meet existing and growing skepticism. To give a more definite idea of the nature of the work, we give the following from the preface:

"This work is not designed to take the place of others on the evidences of Christianity, but partly for the benefit of those who have not the means to purchase, or have not time to peruse, larger volumes, and partly for the purpose of serving as an introduction to, and advertisement of, such works as those of Gardner, Paley, Horne, McKnight, Leeland, Stackhouse, Gregory, Alexander, M'Ilvaine, Campbell, Patterson, and others.

"The author does not claim to have thrown together all the arguments in favor of the divine authorship of the Bible. He has only given an outline of argument which the reader can peruse at length in larger works.

"No claims are advanced on the score of originality. The subject has been treated so often, and its nature is such, that any claims of that kind would be unfounded. It has been the aim, from the start, to make this work 'eclectic;' hence many lengthy extracts have been inserted from the pens of those who were competent to handle the subject. The author only regrets that he has not had space for much more from the same writers."
