Book Notice.

Our friend, and recent contributor, D. F. Newton, author of “Shining Light,” and “Home Thrusts,” is about issuing a new volume entitled, “The Sword that Cuts, the Fire that Burns.” In the prospectus which we have received, he speaks of the work as follows:

“We are getting all the fire we possibly can, and putting in this same gospel fire to the very utmost of our feeble ability, fire on fire, running the risk of losing friends or making foes, if so be we please Jesus—leaving the consequences of this fire that burns, and the sword of God’s truth that cuts, unreservedly with Him who says; “I came not to send peace on earth, but a sword.”

“I am come to send fire on the earth, and what will I, if it be already kindled?” Luke, xii, 49.

The fire is his; the sword is his; and the glory shall be his.

This holy fire is wanting in the pulpit, in the press, in meeting for social worship, prayer, and praise, in family circles, at home and abroad. We long to see ministers on fire—parents and children on fire—officers on fire—every man, woman, and child in the Church on fire gospelly; fire from Heaven, burning, blazing out, hotter and hotter—so hot, indeed, that no rebel sinner, no formalist, backslider, hypocrite, or time-server can live and breathe in the region or atmosphere of this the pentecostal or tongue of fire.

What could the holy prophets have done without this fire—the apostles, Paul, Peter, James and John—Luther, Wesley, Fletcher, Whitfield, Edwards, Baxter, Bunyan, Payson? It was fire on fire—fire here, fire there, fire all about them. It was this fire on fire that kept them alive, blazing out—made them blazing fire-brands, causing Satan to fall as lightning!

This is just the fire we wanted and sought for in penning this new work, “The Sword that cuts, the Fire that burns.”

The book will be forthcoming, containing over 400 pages, neatly executed, with numerous engravings.

This fire and sword volume is divided into some sixty chapters, or more, of varied subjects—Bible reformatory—suited to every age and class of persons, in the pulpit and out of it. Condensation is aimed at in every article,—point, pith, the essence and quintessence of gospel purity and salvation—things, practical everyday things—life-giving, soul-kindling—the flint, the fire, the hammer, the holy unction, Sinai’s crash, the lightning’s flash, fire on fire!

Price, in cloth, per copy, $1.50. Price, in gilt, per copy, $2.00.

Any person sending names of five good subscribers, will receive a copy gratis. Agents wanted.

Note from Bro. Wheeler.

By F. WHEELER.

I wish to express my deep gratitude to God for his great goodness to me, that as unfaithful as I have been, and unworthy as I am, he yet permits me to have a name and place with his remnant people. And I am also especially grateful for the privilege of meeting with Bro. and sister White at the meeting at Roosevelt, Oct. 26 and 27, and of hearing from them the plain testimony calculated to benefit the church at this time. And while I had this privilege, I felt the sympathies of my heart drawn toward them, as in my early acquaintance with them. And I would say to all, that I can now sympathize with them in their toils and trials and appreciate their labors and the gift of prophecy more fully than ever before.

My heart is with this people and in this work; and I hope by the grace of God to so fill some humble place in the church as at last to find a place with them in the mansions of rest.

In hope,

F. WHEELER.

An Invitation.

By John Lindsley

AT our Monthly Meeting in Allegany Co., N. Y., Nov. 10, it was unanimously voted to invite Bro. and Sr. White to meet with this church at Niles Settlement, if possible, on their return to Mich., and we will meet their extra expense in coming here.

In behalf of the church. JOHN LINDSLEY.

Correction.

By Adolphus Smith

In my letter published in Review No. 18, present Vol., I erroneously stated that only one of our number here is in possession of a church letter, whereas I should have written three.

Can it be Possible?

By D. T. T.

1. THAT man, whom God says he will “destroy,”—punish with “destruction,”—suffer to be “destroyed,”—cause to “perish,”—send to “perdition,”—“consume,”—“devour,”—“kill,”—“slay,”—“blot out,”—“hew down,”—bring to an “end,” so that he shall “lose life,”—“not be,”—“see corruption,”—be “burned up,”—“torn in pieces,”—“ground to powder,”—“cut off,”—and “brought to nought,” so that he shall “be as though he had not been,”—“utterly perishing in his own corruption,” can have in him, either by creation or promise, the power of an endless life?

2. That a creature made of “dust,” likened to “dust,” said to be “dust,” called “clay,” called “earthy,” compared to “chaff,” to “stubble,” to “tares,” to “dry branches,” to “thorns and briars,” to a “worm,” to a “beast,” to “thistle down,” to “grass,” to a “dog,” to “swine,” to a “sheep,” to a “goat,” to an “ass,” to a “serpent,” and to every thing mean, and despicable, and low, and vile; to every thing combustible, perishable, and corruptible; he being “wood,” “hay,” “a thing of nought,” a summer “flower,” etc.,—can possess a deathless spirit, a never-ending existence, an immortal soul, as men and women do persist in asserting? Say, can it be possible? D. T. T.—in World's Crisis.
