Let the Church of Rome, then, for her own sake, for the sake of the millions of souls, in her embrace, for the sake of Jesus Christ, and his Church throughout the world, purify herself from these. Let her, distinguishing between what is Catholic, and what is Romish, return to the faith as it was once delivered to the saints, and as it was once held" everywhere and by all." She has within herself and at her command, the elements of great efficiency. God grant, that her well marshalled hosts, may be found standing in the front ranks, at the final conflict of the Church, and the hour of her victory.

But, let her beware, lest at that day, when the fire shall try every man's work, of what sort it is, when the gold, and silver, and precious stones, and wood, and hay, and stubble, shall be made manifest, for the day shall declare it, let her beware, lest, the corruptions for which she is responsible, become then the sources of her sad dismay, if not the elements of her total destruction. “Other foundation, can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."1

11 Cor. iii. 11-13.

WILBERFORCE'S PRAYERS.
FAMILY PRAYERS,

BY THE LATE

WILLIAM WILBERFORCE, ESQ.

EDITED BY HIS SON,

ROBERT ISAAC WILBERFORCE, M. A

TO WHICH ARE ADDED,

PRAYERS BY THE REV. JOHN SWETE, D. D.

One volume 18mo. cloth.

25c.

"That the habit of family devin is not inconsistent with the most zealous and unremitted discharge of public duty is evince by the example which the author of these Prayers afforded. His singular union, indeed, or rivate religion and public usefulness, may in great measure be attributed to that state of mu.! of which this custom was at once a cause and a consequence. The Grecian colonists, whose more polished manners, and the simplicity of whose native speech, were endangered through the contaminations of barbarian intercourse, by assembling at stated seasons, to confess their degeneracy, and revive the thought of purer times, retained as well the language which was their common bond, as the superiority which was the birth-right of their race. Amidst the increasing turmoil of our days, the custom of daily worship may be looked to by Christians for a similar result. It has been shown, indeed, that this practice comes commended by the experience of former times. But if it were needed in a period of quiet and repose, how much more amidst the agitation by which our cities are now convulsed, and which shakes even the villages of our land! In tranquil days, the disciples were comforted by the presence of Christ; but it was amidst the waves of Gennesaret that they learned to appreciate that power which could hush the stormy elements into rest. It was when neither sun nor stars for many days appeared, and no small tempest lay upon him, that the captive apostle could be of good cheer, because there was with him the angel of that God, whose he was and whom he served."

THORNTONS'S PRAYERS.
FAMILY PRAYERS,

[blocks in formation]

"The present volume contains two works, which have been separately published in England; the Family Commentary on the Sermon on the Mount having appeared there, about a year after the first edition of the Family Prayers. The arrangement now adopted wil it is thought, be found convenient for domestic worship; as combining within the same volume a Manual of prayer, and portions of scriptural exposition for reading.

"It may seem presumptuous in the Editor to say any thing by way of introduction to productions bearing on their title-page the name of THORNTON-a name, familiar not to England only, but to the world; and indissolubly associated with our thoughts of whatever is enlarged in Christian beneficence, sound in religious views, and beautiful in consistency of daily practice. He will take the liberty, however, of simply saying, that in regard to the Family Prayers, that, without at all detracting from the merit of other works of the same description, they appear to him to preserve, in a remarkable degree, the difficult and happy medium between verboseness on the one hand, and a cold conciseness on the other. It is believed that none can use them, without feeling that they impart a spirit of gratitude and self-humiliation. They are what prayers should be,-fervent, and yet perfectly simple.

"The Commentary upon the Sermon on the Mount, is remarkable throughout for the profound insight into human nature which it manifests: for its clear exhibition of the fundamental truths of the gospel: and for the faithfulness, honesty, and at the same time, the true refinement and dignity, of the language in which its instructions are conveyed."
