PP. 228. For sale at the Presbyterian
book store.
Great interest attaches to all the works
of this writer, who, we believe, is a lady
of England, and who has done excellent
service with her pen in the cause of
evangelical religion. All her writings
are imbued with a spirit of deep piety.
A graceful and cultivated style ; fine
powers of analysis and discrimination in
character-drawing; skill in the choice of
subjects ; sympathy with the every-day
types of true religion, and a warm ap
preciation for every thing truly noble and
good, commend them to general regard.
Her poetry is the product of good taste
and culture. It takes cheering Christian
views of things ; it sometimes rises to
a lofty lyrical strain ; it often flows along'
in sweet and charming measures, and. it
is always delightful to the cultivated
Christian reader, though not possessing
the attributes of true poetic genius to any
remarkable degree. •
" The Three Wakings" describes the .
development of the poetic nature in three
stages, the last of which is the recogni
tion of Christ as the Redeemer of the
world. This is followed by "The Women
of the Gospels," in which the author's
tine power of discrimination appears ;
then " Hymns." In the latter depart
ment she is by no means the equal of
Boner, there ,being too much of ;the re
flective element in the compositions to
allow their coming into popular use. We
quote some noble verses, entitled
THE GOLDEN AGE IN THE PRESENT.
Why sigh we for the times of yore,
The "good old times" that - come no more?
The oldest day was once to-day ;
Each hour wore in its settled place
As every day a garb and face
As those which glide from us away.
Nature grows never old
On every dawnino• soul she dawns anew,
And grows miff ripens with their growth;
Only to spirits which have lost their yoUth,
The heart of love and sense sincere and true,
Her living formi seem cold.
Siah not for ancient days with poetry rife,
!Po poets is the poetic age not fled;
Go let the dead inter their dead,
For to the living there is always life,
Nature has still fresh founts of art
To pour into the artist's heart;
To, eyes fresh bathed in morning dew,
The Golden Age shines ever new.
Do ocean billows foam less gladly now
Than when the.sea-nymphs danced upon the
wave ?
Curl they less proudly 'neath the swift ships
prow,
Upheaving from the coral cave ? •
Sing they a song less syren sweet,
At noontide bathing weary feet,
Languidly smiling,
Softly beguiling,
Like lips that-faintly move,
,Murmuring words of love ?
Do forestatrenms less freshly well,
Dewing with green the grassy dell,
Giving the thirsty flowers to drink,
Filling their starry eyes with joy, •
Shedding cool fragrance on the•air,
Than when the wood-nymphs sported there'?
Or does the waterfall's, robe, silver-pale,
Wave in - the breeze less lightly
Than when the Naiad's moonlit veil
Gleam'd through the dark trees.brightly ?
Has evening a less golden sheen?
Has morning a less rosy glow ?
Are noon-day's arrowy rays less keen
Than when Apollo strung the bow?
And when at morn in spring
The sun with kisses wakes the earth,
And sun-born showers of golden rain
With floods of melody pour forth—
Say, are not light and music one again?
Sigh not the old heroic ages back,
The heroes were but brave and earnest men,
Do thou but hero-like pursue thy track,
Striving, not sighing,.hrinzs them back again!
The hero s path is striught;To do and say
God's words and works in spite of toil and
shame : .
Labors enough will meet thee in thy way,
So thou forsak'st,not it to seek for them.
Canst thou no wrong with courage patient bear,
Strength to none weaker than thyself impart ?.
0 seek from Him who died the hero's heart,
And the heroic age for thee is there.
Sigh not for simple days of old,
The child-like days of love and trust;
There never was an age of gold, •
And faith makes gold of all earth's dust.
The Church's youthful strength grows never,
Herself a fadeless youth amid the World's decay.
oTar,
Canst thou not love? has earth no room
For all thy heart would give . '
With all the blessed depths of home
And myriad hearts that weep and strive?
Are there no desolete and poor
To nourish from thy store ?
No songs ofjoy and glowing praise
Thy voice might help to raise ?
No heart long left alone
Till it grew stiff and chill ;
Thy voice might waken with a thrill
Ut love, long, long unknown ?
Is earth too small to hold
The yearnings of thy love ?
Is there not heaven above
As near thee as of old?
Does He who came at Pentecost
His presence now withhold?
That the first works should e'er be lost,
Or the first love grow cold.
Oh, fill thy heart with God, and thou shalt prove
That there is left enough to trust and love!
For what is time past but to-day,
Alirror'd in still pools peacefully:
The future but the same to-day,
Reflected in a heaving sea?
Only the present hour has life,
The home of work, the field of strife.
Choose not thy bride among the dead,
But press the present to thy breast
Eu her thy soul shall find its bread,
Thy mind its sphere, thy heart its rest.
Till God shall sneak another " Let there be,"
And time, like darkness before light, shall flee
Before the Now of His eternity.
ANDREWS. The Life of our Lord upon the
Earth ; considered in its Historical, Chro
nological, and Geogrophical Relations. By
Samuel J. Andrews. Fourth edition.
New York : Charles - Scribner & Co. Bvo.,
mi., 524.
This volume is rather a critical than
a popular history of our Lord's life on
the earth, though by no means destitute
of a sufficient amount of popular element
to render it really interesting to the
general reader. The fact of its having,
inn short time, run through three edi
tions, leaving still a demand for the
fourth, is of itself evidence that it has
good adaptation of style, for common
use. A point of distinct prominence is
the discussion of all the difficultiedtwhich
modern criticism has thrown up, arising
from the apparently different statements
of the evangelists upon matters of fact.
We are glad to see these things so
learnedly, ably, candidly, and generally
so satisfactorily discussed, notwithstand
ing we have never rated these difficul
ties as amounting to much in the con
flict between truth and error. They can
generally be turned off as one of them
was by Dr. Beecher, when in the saloon
of a steamer, a pert infidel was treating
an auditory to the discrepancy between
the evangelists and Peter respecting the
manner..of Judas' death—the account of
the.former being that he hung himself,
and of the latter, (Act i. 18,) that,
" falling headlong, he burst asunder in
the midst, and all his bowels gashed
out." .Dr. Beecher, unknown by any
present, replied in his brusque manner,
" Perhaps the rope broke." "You can
not prove that," rejoined the unbeliever.
" You cannot prove that it didn't," said
the . Doctor ; and, as the company seemed
to regard this as a very common-sense
way of treating the subject, the argu-.
ment was summarily concluded. By
the way this very natural theory:is pre
cisely the one adopted by Mr... Andrews
in the book before us. Rejecting the
fanciful one of De Quincy, that Peter
meant only to state.in a figure that Judas
died of a broken heart and came to utter
ruin, he says :—" The language is 0 7
viously to be taken in its literal sense . ;
and the bursting of Judas may readily
have happpened after he had hung . him
self. Such a thing as the breaking of a,
cord, or a beam, or the
.bough of a tree,
is not unusual ; or, at the moment when
the body was about to be taken doWn,
it may, by, accident or carelessness, have
fallen." Further, referring to the sug
gestion that there was .no more likely
place of resort for such manner of snicide
than some tree overhanging the valley
of Hitmom, it is shown. that a fall dein,
the . preCiPice beneath; forty or ,mere feet,
upon ,a rooky bottom, would: very proba
bly be attended with the results named
by. Peter.
While this name Judas is before us,
we commend to attention Mr.. Andrew's
carefully digested schedule of the par
ticulars of
,Christ's eating the last Pass
over with his disciples, and His institu
tion 'of the eucharistic supper; going to
show that the time of the traitor's
leaving the company was after the last
act, which properly belonged 'to the
Paschal feast, and before the first, which
was constituent to the New Testament
sacrament. Hence to the communion
this last be was never admitted - by our
Lord. •
In his preface to the new edition, Mr.
Andrews refers to the sceptical "Life of
Jesus" by Renan--especially to the
Frenchman's assertion that there is no
practical value in the question whether
the alleged Circumstances of 'our Lord's
life on earth are actualities, or a poetic
conception sufficient for the purposes
of the reality. His notice of this is a
sufficient apology for just those carefill
investigations into the minute facts in .
the history of the incarnation, which the
body, of the work' contains. "Time and
pla ce,"'he says, " are essential parts of
the great fact of the incarnation. The
Son of God, in becoming man, must be
born at a certain puled of the world's
history, in' a certain portion of its tent
toiT, and stand in well-defined relations
to certain of its inhabitants. Such lim
itations belong - to the very essence of his
humanity. . . . Christianity is a
religion of facts, not of ideas. It rests
upon the being' of a personal -God. It
stands or falls with the reality of the
statements in the Apostles' . Creed. Its
doctrines tore only the explanation of its
facts. The Epistles of the New Testa,
meat have no meaning if the Gospels are'
not Thistorically true. We canna too'
steadily "keep in mind that Christianity
is Christ. Jesus'did not merely origin
ate a spiritual movement. He is Him-
selfthe living, abiding power of the
movement. We , look back to no sepul
chre ; we look up to the Living One in
the heavens, Jest's Christ risen from the
dead'; the same yesterday, to-day, and
forever. Christianity lives because He
lives."
We add that the volume has received
testimonials from the highest sources,
written with such heartiness of expres
sion as no book of only moderate worth
would secure from such men. Professor
Shedd, of Union Theological' Seminary,
says :—" Taken as a whole, I know of no
attempt at harmonizing the accounts of
the. Evangelists into a continuous chron
ological arrangement that, upon the
whole, is so satisfactory as this. It
would be too much to say that every
difficulty has been removed, or that one
would agree with the writer in every
particular ; hut I know of no work of the
kind with whose conclusions I should be
more ready to go along, from beginning
to end, than with this one." Like. val
uable endorsements are given by Pro
fessor Smith of the same Seminary,
President Hopkins, Dr. Schaff, and the
leading Reviews on this continent.

This is one of • those truly wonderful
creations for the young, which pour in
such exhaustless abundance from the
richly endowed mind and heart of the
unknown author. With great-ingenuity,
the story of Daniel and his three asso
ciates in exile is interwoven with a
thrilling tale of suffering and tempted
integrity, vindicated at last by the most
marked - providential interpositions. We
are quite sure that young or old readers

will find it difficult to leave off, when
they have once begun, until they come
to the end of the story ; and we are
equally sure that its influence upon young
or old will be in a high degree salutary.
THE MISSIONARY JUBILEE ; an account of

Baptist Missionary Union at Philadelphia,
May 24, 25, and 26, 1864. With Com
memorative Papers and Discourses. New
York, Sheldon & Co. Svo., pp. 500.
An elegant and substantial volume,
in outward style well befitting the grav
ity and the memorial character of the
occasion which called it forth. Prom
the materials of which it is composed it
cannot but be deeply interesting to every
friend of missions and of the cause of
Christ. Admirable addresses, sermons
rich in unction, in Scripture truth, and
in intellectual resources ; elaborate
papers upon special topics of the mis
sionary work of the Baptist Church,
were delivered - or read by some of the
first men of the denemination. One
hundred and eighty pages are devoted
to historical sketches and biographical
memoranda of the missions and' mission
aries, which appear to be very complete.
Other important topics discussed on this
occasion were, The Use of 'the Press in
the Missions, Missions in their Relation
to Denominational Growth, to Denom
inational Belief and Polity, to Educa
tional Institutions, Development:of the
Benevolent Principle in the Baptist
Churches during the last Fifty Years,
Literature of American Baptists, &e.
Rev. Dr. Anderson contributes a paper
upon the History of the American
Board, which is the best summary of
the operations of this institution which
we have ever seen". It is much to be
regretted that the CommemOrative Dis
course of Rev. Dr. Williams could not
be procured for insertion in'the volume,
on account of the continued ill-health of
the' writer. Other Wise it is as complete
as could be desired,"and is worthy of a
prominent place in 'the literature of
6
missions.
