PATIENCE OF TRUTH.
By John Greenleaf Whittier
God’s ways seem dark, but, soon or late,
They touch the shining hills of day;
The evil cannot brook delay,
The good can well afford to wait,
Give ermined knaves their hour of crime;
Ye have the future grand and great,
The safe appeal of truth and time.
— Whittier.

THE LIFE AND WORDS OF CHRIST.
By Cunningham Geikie, D. D., with marginal references to the Scriptures, notes and index. Two volumes complete in one book. Printed in pica-type, octavo size. 1,260 pp. $1.75.
We have just received the following commendation of this work from an earnest Christian worker in Maine :—
HAVING read Dr. Geikie's life and works of Christ, I find it more interesting the farther I read; and when he introduces us to the trial and crucifixion of Jesus, one can almost imagine himself present to witness the cruel mockery, and the terrible scenes of Calvary. Although I am not prepared to indorse all that is said in the book, yet I think it the best I ever read of the kind. J. B. GOODRICH.
