* * * * * SERMONS FOR THE TIMES. By the Rev. Charles Kingsley, _Author of_ “_Village Sermons_,” “_Alton Locke_,” _etc._ _12mo., 360 pages._ _Price, 75 cents._ These sermons abound in striking thoughts, presented with remarkable clearness and simplicity. _Christian Witness._ * * * * With all the faults of these sermons, we should like to see them in the hands of our evangelical clergy. * * * _Southern Churchman._ These sermons were written by the same pen that wrote “Alton Locke,” and “Yeast.” It has been said that the author is only a baptised infidel, and that he desecrates his pulpit and his clerical character to the unhallowed purpose of promulgating a skepticism, whose only redeeming feature is that it is ill-concealed. These “Sermons for the Times” make an entirely different impression on us. They seem to us to be the heart utterances of one whose views are on some points, indeed, a little peculiar, but who holds, with a clear intelligence and lively faith, the great truths of the Gospel of Christ. If Infidelity can sincerely preach and practice the doctrines with which this volume is rife, we think it will be doing as much to convert the world to true religion as some religionists we wot of, whose strength is so exhausted in proving other folks heretics, that they have little left to make themselves or the world the servants of God. To such, and to all, we commend the “Sermons for the Times.” They will do all good. _Ohio Farmer._ This second volume of sermons by Mr. Kingsley contains the earnest words of an English clergyman upon the evils of the times. They are addressed to the hearers of a country parish church, in plain, honest Saxon, enforcing the Church Catechism and rebuking the selfishness, dishonesty, irreverence, profligacy and godlessness of the day. In quaint, straightforward simplicity, they remind us of the services of the good Hugh Latimer, of blessed memory. _Rome Daily Sentinel._ The discourses are remarkable for their simplicity, yet they evince rare intellectual power, and each page gives evidence of the genius of the author. _Boston Evening Transcript._ They are so practical and sensible that they will be read with profit and pleasure by all persons who are seekers after truth. _Boston Daily Advertiser._ * * * * * OUR CHURCH MUSIC.—_A Book for Pastors and People._ By Richard Storrs Willis. _12mo., 138 pages._ _Price, 50 cents._
