BOSTON TRACE SOCIETY,
GARRETT. — GOD ' S WORD WRITTEN The Doctrine of
the Inspiration of Holy Scripture Explained and
Enforced. By Rev. Edward Garhett, M. A.; In-' cumbent of Christ Church , Surbiton [Eng.]; Boyle
Lecturer for 1861, 1862 and 1833 ; Select Preach
er to the University of Oxford in 1862 and 1863.
Pp. 348. 12mo. Boston Tract Society. For sale
by the Publication Committee.
A popular but, in the main, judicious and
thoughtful defence of a great :doctrine. The
writer's position, as again and again chosen to the
office and work of an Christian 'apologist, shows
his fitness for .handling the ttheme.. Experience
in troublous times' hai taught him the' need of
weighing his words. He begins with a discus
sion of what Christianity is, and works his way,
by careful induction, to its dependence upon rev
elation, the clarracter of which he proceeds to
discuss. Admitting the human element in Scrip
ture as neoessarily_implied in the fact that it is a
revelation *Om 'God to man,"and rejecting the
theory of mechanical inspiration or dictation, he
yet stands firmly upon the truth, that the words
as well as the ideas of the Bible are inspired.
Difficulties are, as so P ce perrit;,.specified and

ex
plained ; and the whol "is iberalind yet logical
in its tone,and spirit.

A story of a young girl's life ,to T h e t.she
made of it, when she had found dhrist. Board
ing-school and home ate the scenes of the tale,
and there is an abundant variety of character and
incident in the book; and a cheerful' working
type of Christian piety is inculcated, in a way
that will commend the book to the young. The
author's aim is finely suggested in her preface:—
" We sometimes hear the remark, '.,1 don't, be
lieve in doing things from a sense of duty.' In
that case we must either rise higher or sink low

WOODS.-THE BLUE-1300K STORIES. By Harriet F.

The Blue Book is the casket in which many
very good stories are set. As they were origi
nally' written by a .school-mistress to be read to
her pupils, they are not mere aimless amusements,
but directed each against some actual fault in
children; and are told in a simple effective way.

Two excellent contributions to the Apologetic
literature of our American theology. The first
is designed to meet and refute the heresy (now
widely prevalent in the West) that the righteous
only are immortal, and, that the unredeemed suf
fer final annihilation. It handles the error in a
plain and popular way.
The second is from the pen of one whose high
position in the political world has not deterred
him from recently declaring himself on the Lord's
side. His work is in the form of a lecture before
a New England Y. M. C. A., and is a striking
and valuable collection of the testimonies which
eminent statesmen, from Washington to Lincoln,
have rendered to the truth of our holy religion.

tee.
The Christian doctrine of the Resurrection is
one which received much more attention in the
earlier ages of the Church than at, present. The
Apostles preached " Jesus and the resurrection :"
they spoke of longing to " know the power of His
resurrection." In our own days, the subject has
received much less attention because it'seems to
occupy a much less central position in our systems.
Mr. Mott gives us a book on the subject which is
perhaps not exhaustive, nor as bold in handling
the question as it might be, but still verTservice

THE RELIABILITY OF BOOK NOTICES.
It is amusing to read the contradictory notices
of : a. book which appear on the same day. To
a recent instance our attention has been called.
Lippincott & Co. of this city have just published
a book called "Terra Marim, or Threads of Mary
land Colonial History by Edward D. Neill," at
the time of publication one of the Secretaries of
the - President of the United States, appointed by
Mr. Lincoln, and a native of our city. The Bal
timore American in reviewing the work, says :
" We must admit that we have read it with far
more pleasure than any other history of the State,
and our only regret in closing this volume is that
he did not deem it proper to write a history that
should embody all that can be written about the
past events of Maryland. The book is one that
deserves a, place, in every library, and ought to be
found in every house in the State."
The Philadelphia Press, on the same day, says:
"The subject is treated in a very dry manner.
In a history of Maryland, to give no account of
the city of Baltimore, while Annapolis is spoken
of at length, is something peculiar."
Can it be possible - jthA'the . writer of the book
notices of that widely,eirculated journal is igno
rant of the fact that the city of Baltimore was not
in existence until a late,
,period of the Maryland
Colony, and was but an obscure hlrulet until a
few years before the Declaration of Independence?
If Mr. Neill had written " Threads of Penn
sylvania Colonial History," the critic.: might with
equal propriety have said, " In a history of Penn
sylvania to give no account of the city of Pitts
burgh, while Philadelphia is mentioned, is some
thing peculiar."
In the Washington Chronicle, edited by Hon.
John "W. Forney, the following criticism of " Ter
ra Marine " is found : "No more valuable nor
more needed contribution to history has appeared.
Dr. Neill, a cultivated gentleman and conscientious
student, realizing that a full history of Maryland
had not yet been written, conceived the idea of
supplying at least some of the manifest deficien
cies. It is evident this small and well condensed
volume is the result of close and patient reading
and equally close and patient reflection."
But Forney's Chronicle and Forney's Press do
not see eye to eye on this, as they do on most
subjects, for says the latter, "This indifferent
volume, which is remarkably well printed, is pub
lished by J. B. Lippincott & Co." D.

THE GERMANS OF BROOKLYN AND THE
SABBATH.
A large meeting of Germans, favorable to
the enforcement of the Sunday clause of the
Excise Law of New York, was held in Ply
mouth Church, Brooklyn, Sa'bbath afternoon,
April 28th. We find reports of two of the ad
dresses in the New York Tribune, from
which we give some extracts:
P.EXARKS OF DR. SCHAFF
Freedom in law, and not freedom from law, is the
basis of our whole government. Self-government is
the result of training and Christian institutions, and
these are God's word, God's Church, and God's day
—a holy Trinity of power. The Sabbath is the
Lord's day. It keeps up the noblest sentiments,
thoughts, and actions, and prepares us for the work
of eternity. It was made for all men—for the bene
fit of man: and we can as little do without the rest
of the Sabbath as.the work, of the day can do with
out the rest of the night. We require of the Gov
ernment the protection of the people in the observ
ance of the Lord's day—recognizing the religious
Sabbath as a civic institution.
Why should liquor sellers claim an exemption
from a universal law? If all other. trades are pro
hibited, why should this branch be exempt? The
law has been declared Constitutional, and we have
not certainly come here from Germany to interfere
with the obvious righteousness of the laws of this
country, in the preservation of a strict observance
of the Lord's day, Would God we had. the same
laws in Germany, where the Lord's day is so gener
ally profaned. No matter what the German infidel
press. may say, the better classes of Germans are
still in favor of preserving the laws. We stand up
here for the dignity of the Lord's day, and the credit
of the German name. The German name and char
acter are inconceivably cursed and disgraced by this
"lager beer," and it is high time to break up its sale
in this country;,as well as over the water.' The
speaker said that the chief 'reason of the Prussian
success in the recent. European war was that the
Prussians were more sober than the Austrians and
Bavarians. He branded the sellers of lager beer as
infidels, who scoffed at religion, and thanked God
that the strong hand of the law had at last grasped
them by their sacrilegious throats.
Then, after reading a few statistics, setting forth
the excellent results which have already arisen from
the enforcement of the Sunday clause, the speaker
introduced the Rev. Edmund :de Schweinitz of Beth,-
lehem, Pa., who delivered an address in German.
Air. R. W. Raymond followed in a speech in Ger
man.
ADDRESS OF HENRY WARD BEECHER
I am here to advocate the continuance and rigor
ous enforeenient of the Excise law, not only in its
Sunday clause, but in everything else. We have
heretofore been met by arguments that said we car
ried things to extremes. Since we Could not do any
better we - bare taken this advice=that is, not to
abolish, but to regulate, the sale ! of; intoxicating
drinks. Even this has raised a scream of dennn
ciation quite as great as if the sale were abolished,
,You can always tell whether a law . is:ai good - one by
the way it takes •bad men. In this way we have
pretty good evidence that the Excise law is an ex
cellent one.
We in America offer to treat those who come here
as well as our own- families and Ourselves., What
complaint can be made? The law is not made
against foreigners, but against men. If the liquor
business is mainly in the hands of foreigners, that
is their lookout. Theie are other who feel that
this law is taking away men's liberties, Generally,
the Germans appear to be pretty happy slaves. What
kind of liberties did you have in Germany, Fiance,
or Ireland? And yet you say youi have lost your
liberties. No one ever complains of the liquor shops
being closed on election-days, because the ballot-box
must be rendered sacred. On Sunday we only un
dertake to do the same thing. • In' 'each case it is a
Measure for the-good of the community. Some say
that this Excise law is a relic of Puritanism. My
German friends, I think we borrowed. Puritanism
from you . . The Puritan discountenance of amuse
ments was owing to the fact that theywere opposed
to oppressors, and their ways of tickling the people
in order to prevent their thinkingon political sub
jects. Any custom that is found to injure the mor
als of the common people, ought to be abolished.
It is still felt that this Excise law deprives the la
boring Man of his, enjoyment on the Sabbath.
There is no man so much interested in this 'Excise
law as the workingman. The poor man, not the
rich, is interested mostly in the observance of the
Sabbath. It makes very little difference to the rich
whether work is done on the Sabbath or not, for the
poor man has to do all the work. All the burdens
of the 'violation of the Sabbath fall on the working
man. Sunday is Equalization day; then every one
comes down to a common level., It is the poor
man's day of privilege; the only day out of seven.
It is supposed that the Excise law Cuts off the poor
man's pleasures by hindering him from drinking
his Rhine wine and lager beer. But in any column
nity where intemperance blights and blasts, with its
usual concomitants of jails, poor-houses, ets., all of
the vast expenses and miseries fall upon the poor
first.
,My advocacy of the Excise law is to redeem
the common man—the poor and 'the weak Of the
community. .The rich.ciin get along without these
restrictions, but the poor cannot. ;:
TEMPERANCE RATIFICATION MEETING.
A mass temperance meeting was held in
the Academy of Music, on /the evening of
April 18th, to ratify the proceedings of the
State Convention recently held at Harris
burg. The Academy was • densely packed
-with an enthusiastic ianct intelligent au
dience. • '
Joseph Martin, Esq., called the meeting to
order, and Hon. Joseph Allison was chosen
President; R. M. Foust, J. E. M. Harrow
and I. Newton Pierce, Secretaries; and a
Vice-President from each ward in the city.
Rev. Dr. Torrence offered 'prayer, after
which Jas. Black, Esq., President of the
State Society, read the resolutions and made
the opening address. He ably reviewed the
early history of the temperance movement,
its gradual and successful advancement,
clearly defined the points no 4 at issue be
fore the People, and made an earnest appeal
to the people to ratify the resolutions and
rally to the support of the State Society.
Senator Henry Wilson was next intro
duced, and was received with great applause.
He believed 'God, in His providenee, bad
cast his lot in Scenes of intense activity, and
in this Christian reptiblic, Wliere"the reason,
the conscience, and the heart can work out
the principles of everlasting truth. The
past seven years' struggle had been a terri
ble one, in all of which the great State of
Pennsylvania and this great city of Phila
delphia had done their share of the goOd
work unfalteringly. Yet to-day the nation
is engaged in a, struggle as gigantic as that ,
in which we have just conquered. It is said
we • have 500,000 drunkards in our nation,
and that every year 50,000 drunkards stag
ger on into utter annihilation. Let us ap
peal to the hearts and consciences of the na
tion to save these poor drunkards, .if we can;
if not, let us rescue from destruction the
Millions who might be exposed to its insidi
ous temptations hereafter. In our own day
four-fifths of the crime, four-fifths of the
pauperism, nearly all of the degradation in
our land comes from the effects of habitual
drunkenness.
He referred to the great and glorious
work going on alt over the country, espe
cially' in Massachusetts, and continued at
some length to elaborate the idea that a
pressing necessity existed for the prohibition
of the sale of ardent spirits.
Brief addresses were also made by Rev,
W. C. Best, G. W. P.; and J. N. Stearns, M.
W. P., of the SOns of Temperance, after
which the meeting adjourned. It was one of
the largest and most enthusiastic held in the
city for years.
RITUALISM IN NEW YORK.
The great extent to which ritualism has,
found favor in the Episcopal churches of
America, could be witnessed on Easter Sun
day in. New .York and Philadelphia. The
following: description of such a ritualistic
performance, we" copy from the EVENING
TELEGRAPH, and endorse the comments with
which it concludes:
"In one of these churches we found the
altar covered with flowers,. and a cross erec
ted on the middle of the altar. On each
side of the cross' burned rows of wax can
dles, which were lighted at the Commence
ment of the service by a figure - in'rotes re-
sembling an acolyte. From the seats for
the clergy within the chancel were extended
a row of stalls filled with men and boys in
white surplices. In front of the organ sat
the organist, also in robes. The service com
menced with a chant, in which none of the
congregation were expected to join. The
usual form of prayer was said, save when
the people at the end of each petition said
" Amen, ' according to the prescribed form,
the new rules made the choir chant "Amen,"
as though it was the orchestra and not the
people who were assenting to the prayer.
The Psalter was no longer recited by the
minis.ter, with responses from the people.
.The choir took the matter in hand,
and saved any one the trouble of finding
the psalm by singing it to an accompani
ment which rather recalled to mind the
march in Norma. Whenever the name of
.Christ was mentioned, the more ritualistic
of the worshippers bowed. And when the
name of the "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost"
occurred, the devotees bowed low for the
Father, still lower for the Son, and came
near striking with their foreheads the back
of the pew in front of them, when the name
of the Holy Ghost was reached. No selec
tions of hymns were sung in which the peo
ple could join. Voluntaries and, strange
anthems, consisting of singing one word in a
hundred different notes, and by a score of
different voices, took the, place of the song
of praise, and the services ended with a
benediction and . 'sx series of alarming bows.
Such is the form of ritualism. Such is
the improvement which is to take the place
of the earnest and unostentatious worship
of other days. And yet these followers of
this new notion of devotion-pray that "from
all pride, vainglory and hyproCrisy" the
"'go'od Lord will deliver them." We can see
in' it but a sign of liOervice, where the
heart is cold. We can see in it an attempt•
to cover up backsliding and frivolity with
an assumption of righteousness. Under
this new formula, as the _lndependent says,
the Church, which was intended as the
home of weary souls, the nurse of manly
virtue, the gathering spotfibr the communion
of saints, is converted into a scene for aes
thetic display. Soft, seductive appeals to
the imagination are made of more account
than masculine reasonings on righteousness,
temperance, and judgment to come.

Moffat's Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters
The wonderful effects of Moffat's Life Pills in cases of mental de
pression of physical weakness, proceeding from indigestion, costive
nese, or bilious secretions, are, certified by millions of persons who
have been benefited by them. They are the most effective cathartic
and purifier ever before the public, and have been in use ever since
1825. They are cheap, safe and reliable. Sold by all respectable
dealers everywhere. -
A plain statement of facts. I inherited Scrofula, *id many of
my relations have died of it. In 1839 my case was frightful. Tu
mors and ulcers spread until in 1842, under the advice of my physi
cians I went to Avon Springs. I received no benefit—tried every
medicine and did every thing I could. I had to rest my arm on a
cushion, and had not been able to raise it to my head for over a
year. The discharge from two ulcers was nearly a pint a day.
Amputation was recommended; but pronounced dangerous. I
could not sleep, and my sufferings were intolerable. A friend
brought me an English physician who applied a salve, with which
he said he bad accomplished extraordinary cures in the hospitals in
England. It commenced to relieve: I persisted in its use; it finally
effected a perfect and entire cure. It is now 1848. It is five years
since I had the appearance of a scrofulous lore, and my health has
been good ever since. I procured the recipe of this wonderful ar
ticie—this bless*ng of humanity—and have called it " PAGeS CLI
/US SALva," and allow the public to use it or not as they chore,
This is a brief but candid statement, given more fully in my circu
lar.. J. If. PAGE.
"I have known J. M. Page, Each of Geneva, N. Y., for many
genre. He is ono of the first citizens of Western New York. I saw
himiast week in good health. Hie case was a most remarkable
one, but actually trne in in every particular.
