of God in the soul of a redeemed sinner. It takes a survey of the spiritual kingdom of Christ, and traces the progress of that kingdom in the human heart with minuteness and fidelity. It is a work where the want of refined scholarship is abundantly compensated by the unction of a heartfelt religion ; and where defects of style are more repaid by the tenderness, affection, and simplicity of a humble child of God.”—Primitive Church Magazine. "There is a three-fold value in this volume, which will render it an interesting companion to many of the Lord's tried people. First, there is a descriptive value in the details of the countries through which he passed. Secondly, there is an experimental value; he makes all events to illustrate the inward kingdom of grace; and, thirdly, there is a providential value in the rich displays of an over-ruling and ever-faithful hand. How sweet, thus to recount the mercies of a covenant God."-Earthen Vessel. "Amidst the puddling divinity of the day-the numerous sects that are daily making their appearance-the irreligious (the yea and nay system) publications that are constantly being issued from the press, under the name of religion, how blessed to meet with a diamond of the first water-to be favoured to sit in the arbour of mercy, by which glides the river of our God -to enjoy the hidden manna, and realize in the book the whole truth of God in Salvation's glorious plan. O, what secret fellowship we had with this converted Israelite, while perusing his golden pages."-Zion's Trumpet. NOW READY, Price Three Shillings and Sixpence, cloth, gilt edges, THE TRIUMPH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH A PREFACE BY THE REV. WILLIAM PARKS, B.A., Recommendatory Preface by the Rev. WILLIAM PARKS, B.A. "The respected author of this work having asked me to look over the manuscript, and correct what I deemed faulty in his mode of expression (for he, being a foreign Jew, labours under much disadvantage when writing in English), have gladly acceded to his request, and removed some grammatical inaccuracies. "I am happy to bear testimony that I have discovered no theological errors in the work; but, on the contrary, such a clear, sound, and deep knowledge of the work of God's Spirit in the soul, that it is refreshing to have read it. "In these days of blasphemy and reproach, when the Holy Spirit is especially dishonoured, when nature is confounded with grace, and mere animal excitement is palmed off as the internal witness of God to the redeemed sinner, it is a cause for gratitude that a man like the author, who has himself heard, seen, looked upon, and handled the Word of Life, should boldly testify to God the Spirit's operations in the soul, and his mode of acting. I pray the God of all grace to cause the work a wide circulation, and to bless the perusal of it to his dear family. It aims at his glorification from beginning to end. "WILLIAM PARKS, B.A., "Incumbent of Openshaw, Manchester." "The Triumph of the Holy Spirit over Sin in the Sinner' is the emphatic title of the new volume edited and issued by Mr. Samuel, the present minister of Ford-street Chapel, Salford, Manchester: and it is the most appropriate description that can be given to the awakenings and amazing revolutions and reformations recently so powerfully manifested in the North of Ireland. "This elaborate and well-defined volume on The Triumph of the Holy Spirit over Sin in the Sinner, may, under God's gracious teaching and anointing, much aid the careful enquirer in searching for Scriptural evidence that the hand of the Lord hath been in the Irish Movement for his own glory; and for the fulfilment of his own most precious promises. "We have not been very forward in noticing Mr. Samuel's new work; we were anxious that its own merits should recommend it; and we are thankful such has been the case. We have heard it spoken well of by ministers of the gospel, and very useful it has been made in edifying, comforting, and confirming not a few of the Lord's own people. It is by no means a hasty summary of the work and way of the Holy Spirit; it is a deliberate and detailed delineation of almost every branch of that internal part of a sinner's salvation by which he becomes dead to the world and alive unto God; by which he becomes crucified (in measure) to the flesh, and consecrated to the Saviour; by which he becomes dead to the law, as a ground of justification, and rises up into a life of faith on the Son of God; by which he is brought to loathe himself; and to long for that likeness to his living head, and to thirst for a meetness for Christ's kingdom, which only the truly sanctified can be partakers of. We rejoice in the fact, that we have been instrumental in putting into print this excellent work; and our necessarily close intimacy with the author, enables us to assert that in all his private walks, and time transactions, he carries out with much decision and honour the principles he so ably advocates both from the pulpit and by his pen. A second and beautiful edition of his Triumph of Christ on the Cross is about to be issued.". Earthen Vessel. "Without any pretence, and in a manner the most artless and sincere, the respected author of this production has furnished a volume of evangelical truth, that every true believer will be delighted to read. It traces the work of the Holy Spirit through the whole course of the Christian's life; and demonstrates from Scripture, that the entire operation of grace in the soul, from first to last, is by the Spirit of the Lord alone. It is a work that will prove as bread to the hungry by whomsoever it may be perused."-Primitive Church Magazine, September, 1859.
