THE TISHBITE.
THE LORD OUR SHEPHERD. Substance of a Lecture on Luke 15:1-7.
THE latter of these works is a Gospel tract of that class which is very suitable, not so much to the unawakened, as to those who, although believing, do not enjoy peace, from the lack of knowing adequately the grace of the Lord, or the perfectness of His work.
The former is by far the larger and more important work, to which attention is called. There are weighty principles insisted on throughout, and pleasingly interwoven into the tale, of the raptured prophet; all is applied in a plain, wholesome, and earnest way. The closing observations, as to the special commission and apostolate of Paul, in illustration of the grand truth of the Church so fully revealed in his epistles, are striking, and many of them valuable, so far as could be judged from a hasty glance at the manuscript kindly sent by the author and the printer. Want of space forbids us a longer notice, at least for the present; but the Christian will find the book itself worthy of attentive perusal.
