The pearl of days : $b or, The advantages of the Sabbath to the working classes

It breathes the spirit of Christianity, and contains notices of the
progress of Christ’s kingdom among the different branches of the
Church. Conducted by DR. BAIRD and his able associates, it cannot fail
to do great good. Its view of foreign Churches is peculiarly valuable,
from the Dr.’s long residence in Europe.--_Lutheran Observer._
Under the supervision of the Rev. DR. BAIRD, the Christian Union is
becoming a highly valuable publication, and will, no doubt, obtain an
extensive circulation. The principles of Christian Union, as advocated
by the editor, are such as all evangelical denominations may unite in,
without sacrificing any peculiar principles of their own.--_Christian
Secretary._
It is a precious monthly, published by S. Hueston, 139 Nassau street,
New York.--_Christian Intelligencer._
We deem the Union an important auxiliary in spreading a knowledge of
the condition and prospects of religious denominations--a knowledge,
which, we are sorry to say, is not as extensively cultivated as it
should be, either by the ministry or the private members of the
church.--_S. W. Baptist Chronicle._
Every bishop, minister, elder, deacon and class-leader should have
this valuable monthly. Christians of every name must unite against the
works of darkness, banish _for ever_ their little sectarianisms, or
the world cannot be saved.--_Golden Rule._
The statistical information furnished by this publication, and
its notices in a comprehensive view and permanent form, of the
manifestations and progress of the Church of Christ in all lands,
render it valuable and worthy of patronage.--_Southern Christian
Advocate._
The missionary and statistical information upon its pages must render
it of great value as a book of reference, while its essays and
discussions combine much to interest and instruct the serious mind.
Its catholic spirit entitles it to the confidence of Christians of
every name.--REV. B. T. WELCH, _Pastor of the Pearl St. Baptist
church, Albany, N. Y._
Each number of the work contains 64 closely printed royal octavo pages,
and will form a yearly volume of 768 pages.
HEAVEN’S ANTIDOTE
TO THE
CURSE OF LABOR:
_Or the Temporal Advantages of the Sabbath to the Working Classes_.
BY JOHN ALLAN QUINTON.
With a Prefatory Notice by Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, D.D.
This beautiful Essay on the Sabbath, from the pen of a journeyman
printer, of Ipswich, England, received the first prize which was
offered by Mr. Henderson, of Glasgow, for essays on that subject by
working men. The fact that it was selected for the first prize, out
of 1045 compositions, must be sufficient proof of its merit. The
American edition contains a very interesting preface by Dr. Tyng. It is
illustrated, neatly bound in cloth, and is sold for 37¹⁄₂ cents.
