Suite's Guthrie. The Parables of ohr Lord read in the lght of the Present Day. By Thomas Guthrie, D.D. A. Strahan, publisher, London and New York. Square Bvo, PP- 304. Gilt aide and top. Phila.: For sale by Smith, English & Co. , Commentators have not failed to notice the universal applicability of our Saviour’s parables to the circumstances and characters of men. Dr. Guthrie has employed the whole of this volume in expanding this ob servation. And his large powers of illus tration have rarely found so broad a field, Or been so effectively applied, as here. Preaohers will find here a stimulus for thought, and all readers of the Bible will learn more of thfe richness of its contents and of their many-sided bearings upon hu man life and manners than they perhaps ever suspected before. The externals of the volume are exceed ingly tasteful and substantial. A. L. 0. E. Rescued from Egypt. By A. L. 0. E. New York: Thomas Nelson & Sons. 16mo, pp. 465. Two illustrations. Here are two stories running side by side, and mutually illustrative. Around the story of Moses, told in the form of lec tures by an English vicar, is constructed a Story of English life, in which appear the temptations of this world, the sacrifice of prospects in life for the sake of Christian principle and the happy providential de liveranoe, all developing with the progress of the lecture on Moses. It is much in the same manner with the “ Exiles in Baby lon,” previously noticed, and reveals new gifts and deeper capacities of a valuable sort in the mind of this prolific and profitable writer for the young. In its own way, this volume carries out the principle of the one previously noticed—that of the universal applicability of the great lessons of the Bible to the characters and ciroumstanoes of men. Views of Prophecy concerning the Jews, the Second Advent, and the Millenium. By a Layman. Phila.: Smith, English & Co. 18mo, pp. 94. Price 75 cts. Written in perspicuous and direct style, by one who seems to have diligently and prayerfully studied Scripture, history, and human theories, this little book must inter est all students of prophecy. The writer is a believer in the pre-millenial, personal ad vent of Christ, and, of course, upholds views of literal interpretation of prophecy, &0., which commentators and the mass of evangelical Christians discard. His viefrs of the present religious condition and pros peots of the world have the usual desperate oharaoter with those of his class. An in termediate state is also one of his dogmas. It must be read with discrimination, but is worth reading. Stevens.

A Centenary Offering to the Women of American Methbdism from the Ladies’ Centenary Association. New York: Carl ton & Porter. 12mo, pp. 304. For sale by Perkenpine & Higgins. Not less wisely than chivalrously and justly are our Methodist friends giving to the women of this body a prominent share in the interest of their year of jubilee. This substantial and well-printed volume is a worthy tribute to the Christian character, the zeal and the- efficiency df many noble women whose lives, albeit marked with the peculiarities of their sect, furnish much to stimulate and instruct the children of God iu all denominations and of both sexes. The volume also includes an account of the organization mentioned in the title, which proposes to raise $lOO,OOO to build two halls for accommodation of theological students in commemoration of Barbara Heck, who first invited Embury to Amerioa, and whom the author terms “ the Foundress of American Methodism.” Weaver— Morgan.

This we believe to be the first American edition of the life of one of the most re markable instances of the power of Divine grace in the Churoh of our day. As the title page describes him—“ a brand plucked from the burning and made into a burning and shining light, by whom God is leading thousands of the vilest of sinners to the cross of his dear Son/’ His remarkable conversion took place in 1852, and he is still preaohing Jesus with indescribable pathos and power, especially to the poor, the vile, and the neglected.

Thomas Brainerd, D.D. Pp-'fil. A stirring and solemn appeal, not so much to, as in behalf of, young men, addressed to a too negligent Christian community, to parents, sisters, and friends of young men. The author beautifully acknowledges his personal indebtedness to the prayers and dying-benediction of a pious mother. His efforts in behalf of this class have been re warded in his own charge, which now in cludes sixty young men among its members. Doing and Knowing. A True Narra tive. By Rev. William Aikman. A re markable specimen of experience in passing from infidelity to belief and from death unto life, is here delineated A rigid self scrutiny, which did not in the least seem to interfere with the spontaneity of the exer cises, furnishes us with a vivid picture of interior life, which is well described and turned to practical account by the writer.

Three persons, destined to figure largely in the annals of human fame, were born the same year with Jay, namely, Lord Welling ton, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Sir Walter Scott. Wellington was born the same day, the first of May, 1769. Born to no secular honor or fortune, enough for Jay that he could speak of parents of sterling good sense, upright, practically religious, beloved by those who knew them. Thus reared in the shade of obscurity, obliged in the days of boyhood to earn his bread by manual labor, yet who would' hesitate to choose his reputation and influence, rather than the fame of the three great names already mentioned ? When a lad of fourteen, hearing a -ser mon enforcing the duty of family worship, he returned home, and, with becoming modesty, besought his father to undertake the practice. Declining, as many do, on .the ground of inability, to the surprise of the parents, William offered to officiate. #With tears on their part, the offer was ac cepted, and immediately a family altar was erected. Several distinguished ministers preached •their first sermon before reaching the age of twenty. President Edwards and Dr. Archibald Alexander did so at nineteen. Dr. Bellamy when about eighteen: Jay was but little past sixteen. Y ery youthful in his appearance and in the tones of his voice, he often went by the name of the boy preacher. In expoundings Scripture, however, he showed himself a man, and commanded the esteem of men.' At the critical period of nineteen, urged by Rowland Hill, he preached eight Sab baths in London. His discourses, enlivened by a style of chaste, beautiful simplicity, yet level to. the humblest capacity, met with uncommon favor. The. plaoe, accom modating thousands, was crowded to excess. This visit to the great metropolis, repeated for nearly fifty successive years, shows with what unflagging interest he was there heard. But Jay’s name and ministry are more intimately associated with another locality, the city of Bath, celebrated as a place of resort for its mineral waters. Strangers and visitors, at that fashionable watering place, came with eager interest to hear the word from his lips. Among his auditors, were orators, statesmen, divines, poets, historians ; men, too, of world-wide reputa tion, Fox, Burke, Sheridan, and Wilber foroe. Attractive as were his public min istrations, they were also successful. The messages of that pulpit, faithful, direct, tender, proved, in hundreds of instances, a &vor of life unto life. An American cler gyman of great excellence, having returned from a European tour, writes : “In reply to the inquiries of my friends, as to whose preaohing I liked best, of all I heard while in England and Scotland, my answer, has , uniformly been, ‘ The preacher at Bath, whom you all know as the author of the Morning and Evening Exercises.’” 1 Among the elements of his efficiency and success in the pulpit may be noted his prayetfulness. His practice was to go from ■the closet to the pulpit. A keener edge was thus given to the weapons of truth which he handled. Unaffected simplicity was another ele ment. Cromwell invariably ordered his soldiers to fire low. Jay aimed to do the same in the pulpit, sympathizing not in the least with those affecting to be deep and original; thus, too often, doing no execu tion, shooting over the heads of their hearers. A French astronomer, it is said, could bring down the higher parts of astro nomy to the comprehension of ordinary ininds.. Such was Jay’s admirable sim plicity, that whatever the theme, the com mon people, even children, heard him gladly. . 1 A third element was the decided evan i gelical cast of his discourses, combining THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN. THURSDAY MARCH 22. 1866. usually the doctrinal, practical, and experi mental. A sermon into which the three Rs of Matthew Henry, ruin, redemption, regneration, did not lamely enter —“Jesus Christ, and him crucified”—pleased him uot. Intimately connected with this, and beyond ordinary precedent, was his felicit ous manner of usingthe Scriptures. Having ,a large portion of the Bible in his memory, his discourses were so blended with appro priate passages, striking texts, as to impart no little unction to them. Still another characteristic was the sin gleness of purpose. Wilberforce, acquaint ed with Jay foT more than forty years, says, “ I remember, when he was a very young man, the popular applause which followed him was enough to turn a young head; but he always kept his steady course. I never saw him in the least inflated by it. He seemed to shake it off as the lion does the dew from his mane.” It is a long period for one to minister actively sixty years to the same people. Those who have preached fifty or forty years can seldom use Caleb’s language, “As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me. As my strength was then, even so is my strength now, both to go out and to come in.” This, however, with scarce any abatement, was the case with J-y. The entire term.of his ministry at Bath covered a period of sixty three years. That Gospel he had So long and eloquently preached supported him in the "trying hour.— Am. Messenger. APOSTOLIC ELDERS AND DEACONS. How many goodish men there are who, in truth, are well-nigh good for nothing' In negative virtue they are not wanting, but of aggressive force they have none. They wish well and speak favorably of all meritorious undertakings. Their inclina tions are of a nature to enable them to abound in every good word, while their “ easy, go softly,” temperment keeps them back from every good work. It is a serious indeed, whether or no such a grade of nugatory conscience as rules peo ple of the above-named class deserves to be respected as wholesomely- Christian ? . . Our conviction is that we need to have re vised the apostolic idea of the Eldership and Diaeonate. They who hold these of fices are ordained in their spheres to be helps, aids, assistants, and co-workers with the angel or bishop of the Church. At pre sent our Consistorieß are hardly more than financial boards. Their functions are exercis ed almost exclusively upon temporal matters.-- Often timid, fearful, and indifferent, they rule the Church by allowing its affairs to drift whithersoever the current of worldly prudence or fashion or ambition may run. Their administration frequently is feeble, puposeless, and therefore harmful. Mean ing well enough, doubtless, they neverthe less contrive to throw well-nigh all respon sibility upon the pastor; and the pastor is too often found ready to take it, and to un dertake to carry it; which, however, he is never able to do. Now, we do not believe' that these evils of administration flow sa much from want of capacity or of good-will in the particular members composing a Con sistory as they do from a hurtful under valuation of the importance of the ship and of the Diaeonate, and from a too' common confusion of the duties pertaining to these separate offices. ■ Let it be fully, fairly, and distinctly derstood that the elders are spiritual officers, colleagues of the pastor, both in teaching and ruling, and, at once the office is pro perly magnified to its original rank. Let the membership of a church be enrolled into classes, each elder having charge of a class, as was unquestionably the practice of the primitive Church Then the elders will be brought into personal contact with nearly the entire congregation, and so will take the oversight of the flock which they are ordained on purpose to do. To the deaeons belongs the duty of gath ering the alms and of y.isiting the poor and,, needy. They should have their own trea surer, into whose hands all funds raised for relief should go. They, moreover, should understand that the charities of the church they serve are to be administered under their supervision and inspection. Thus the church bestowing its benefactions through them, would have some assurance that a proper discrimination would be made in the work of distribution. Give the elders and deacons the work to do which belongs to them, and there will be qualified men found for these offices, who will put into operation such a system of supervision and activity as no pastor, however diligent, can carry on alone.. As matters now go, preaching and. hearing make up together nearly the sum of church efficiency; while Sabbath-schools, prayer meetings, Bible-classes, visitations of the siek, and the work of charity are left to get on as well as they can. Our system is Scriptural, apostolic, and well-nigh perfect in theory; but we-want this system administered with apostolic faith, zeal, and purpose, else its value is gone.— Christian Intelligencer.
