THINGS THAT WERE. II. THINGS THAT ARE. III. THINGS THAT WILL BE. This Work has undergone a most elaborate revision and correction by the Author. New matter of great value has been introduced, allusions to circumstances now obsolete have been expunged, and fresh and interesting evidence of the fulfilment of the prophecies of the book have been added. These volumes form a LIBRARY EDITION of a work of unprecedented popularity, replete with interest, and strikingly illustrative of a much neglected portion of the Word of God. * * * * * In fcap., price 3s. 6d., cloth, RUTH: A CHAPTER IN PROVIDENCE "The genius of the preacher has fallen on a theme peculiarly agreeable, abounding in nature, truth, simplicity, and pathos. We predict for the publication a very extensive and enduring popularity." --_British Standard._ "If the story loses somewhat of its simplicity under the glowing pen of the eloquent doctor, it gains, on the other hand, by the pure evangelical tone which runs like a golden thread through all the history."--_Atlas._ "Indeed, the book is a woman's book, and we shall be much mistaken if it do not prove more attractive--as it will be certainly more useful--to sensible women than half the sentimental trash which they are insulted by having offered to them."--_Freeman._ * * * * * Second and Cheaper Edition, in fcap., price 5s., cloth, CONSOLATIONS; OR, LEAVES FROM THE TREE OF LIFE. "There are few of the varieties of human trouble, or the forms and appliances of Christian solace, that are not described by the author."--_Literary Gazette._ "The present volume is worthy to take rank with the best and most successful of the Rev. Author's previous works. Its consolations are leaves gathered from the tree of life, fresh in their lovely verdure, impregnated with the sweet odours of the Gospel. The author's contributions to religious literature are marked not less by their eminently evangelical and practical characters, their purity and loftiness of thought, than by their beautiful simplicity of language and style."--_Morning Herald._ "This volume is eminently practical, and is marked by all the author's characteristic excellences. We have not read a book from Dr. Cumming for a long time which we can more conscientiously commend."--_Weekly Christian News._ * * * * * Cheap Edition, Tenth Thousand, in One Volume, containing 688 pages, price 6s., cloth lettered,
