Excerpt from The Church of the Apostles: An Historical Inquiry It is with no slight regret that I find my task completed, and nothing now remaining for me but to add a few sentences of farewell to my readers, to be prefixed, according to custom, to my little book. In my opening chapter I have so fully explained the object of the present inquiry, that I have now only to point out the singular value of the Epistles of the New Testament as a storehouse of materials for the study of the life of the first Christians when they were formed into communities after our Lord had left this world. Every one knows the importance of contemporary documents in the study of the history of any period of the past, and it is the meagreness of such documents in connection with the second century which makes it so difficult for the ecclesiastical historian to trace the stages by which the Christianity of the apostolic period was modified or developed into the Christianity of the patristic period and of the Council of Nice.

Excerpt from The Church of the Apostles, Being an Outline of the History of the Church, of the Apostolic Age While there is a general agreement among the writers as to principles, the greatest freedom as to treatment is allowed to writers in this series. The volumes, for example, are not of the same length. Volume II., which deals with the formative period of the Church, is, not unnaturally, longer in proportion than the others. To Volume VI., which deals with the Reformation, has been allotted a similar extension. The authors, again, use their own discretion in such matters as footnotes and lists of authorities. But the aim of the series, which each writer sets before him, is to tell, clearly and accurately, the story of the Church, as a divine institution with a continuous life.

Thi former treatise have I made. OTheopMlus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teaik. Acts I. I. In determining the relation which subsists between the evangelic histories and the Book of the Acts, it is not enough to observe that while the Gospels contain the history of the Masters own ministry, this book records the labors of the apostles. Both alike narrate the work of the Lord: the Gospels, what he did in person when he was here; the Acts, what he did by the ministry of his chosen witnesses after he had ascended. This distinction is marked in the first verse. Luke intimates that in the former treatise he had recorded all that Jesus began both to do and teach; implying that the history which he is now about to compose will be occupied with what Jesus continued both to do and teach after he had sat down at the right hand of the Father. The distinction is not that the former treatise dealt with what Jesus did, and the latter with what was done by the apostles; the distinction is, that the former treatise told what Jesus did in the first place, and the latter what Jesus did in the second. The first part of Christs work has already in the Gospels been recorded; and now in another treatise the second part, or the continuation, of his work will be told. His ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension constituted only the beginning or foundation of the Redeemers About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Church of the First Days: Lectures on the Acts of the Apostles These Lectures, like those formerly published on the Epistle to the Philippians and the Revelation of St John, were delivered in the Parish Church of Doncaster, in the ordinary course of parochial ministration. They are, however, somewhat different in their aim, and are published accordingly in a cheaper and more popular form. The whole course consisted of fifty-six Lectures, of which the first was delivered on the 1st of June, 1862, and the last on the 28th of February, 1864. They are published as they were delivered, with the omission of a few paragraphs, of merely local or passing interest.

Excerpt from Concerning the Disciples of Christ It will be noted that this claims Simply to be a hand-book. It contains the seeds of things. It could not be expected that the writer would choose a wider scope or give more elaborate details than will be found in this small volume. It is intended to be a guide to the reader, a manual setting forth in brief outline the 'matters with which it deals, and leaving the student to take up any line of thought suggested by its chapters and indulge in the largest liberty of investigation. Very profitably and judiciously the author dis cusses his subject under twenty-two divisions. In the use of this volume by the individual reader or by the circle there is suggestion here Of wide fields of research. In connection with the first five chapters very profitable study can be made of the Renaissance and the Lutheran Reformation, and of the great characters to whom the world is Specially indebted for its escape from the dark ages and its advance to the present high state of civiliza tion and religious liberty. In the development of the line of thought from chapters Six to twelve a series of studies of the Acts of the Apostles, of the cases of conversion reported there, Of apostolic church organization and church life could be pursued to great advantage.

Excerpt from The History of the Church of Christ: From the Times of the Apostles to the Rise of the Papal Apostacy Tm; present volume furnishes, chiefly in the language of Milner, a view of the History of the Church of Christ, from the apostolic times to the period when the rise of the Papal power wrought an entire change in the state and prospects of Christianity, and quickly drove the faithful servants of Christ into the wilder ness. This change, indeed, was so great and so total, that it seems most fitting entirely to change the form of the history, and, instead of following, with the Author in whose steps we have heretofore trodden the &w remaining disciples of Christ into their. Exile and obscurity, to commence anew the narrative, under the more comprehensive title of the church IN the middle ages. This will be attempted at as.

Excerpt from Lives of the Apostles and Early Martyrs of the Church, Vol. 1 Excellent as is this lesson, and important as it is to impress the mind early with the con viction that it is necessary to resign our own ways for God's, and to sacrifice our own wills in obedience to His commands, it seems cer tain, that something more should be added. Young persons who evince a willingness to conform to the rules of self-control merit beyond all doubt every encouragement; and, instead of confining ourselves to assuring them that they will receive hereafter the promised reward of the righteous, they should, as far as it is possible, be allowed a foretaste of heaven even here it should be permitted to them to experience, that, as with the practice of divine wisdom, so with its study, all her ways are pleasantness, and all her paths peace. 2.
