Popular Works by the Juthor of · Beaven our Home.'

Aggregate sale of the following popular works, 168,000 copies.

Crown 8vo, cloth extra, gilt side and edges, One Hundred and Seventh Thousand,

price 3s. 6d., 1. HEAVEN OUR HOME. We have no Saviour but Jesus, and no

Home but Heaven. The author of the volume before us endeavours to describe what heaven is, as shown by the light of reason and Scripture ; and we promise the reader many charming pictures of heavenly bliss, founded upon undeniable authority, and described with the pen of a dramatist, which cannot fail to elevate the soul as well as to delight the imagination. .. Part Second proves, in a manner as beautiful as it is convincing, the pOCTRINE OF THE RECOGNITION OF FRIENDS IN HEAVEN, -a subject of which the author makes much, introducing many touching scenes of Scripture celebrities meeting in heaven and discoursing of their experience on earth. Part Third DEMONSTRATES THE INTEREST WHICH THOSE IN HEAVEN FEEL IN EARTH, AND PROVES, WITH REMARKABLE CLEARNESS, THAT SUCH AN INTEREST EXISTS NOT ONLY WITH THE ALMIGHTY AND AMONG THE ANGELS, BUT ALSO AMONG THE SPIRITS OF DEPARTED FRIENDS. hesitatingly give our opinion that this volume is one of the most delightful productions of a religious character which has appeared for some time ; and we would desire to see it pass into extensive circulation.'-Glasgow Herald.

Crown 8vo, cloth extra, gilt side and edges, Thirty-first Thousand, price 3s. 6d., 2. MEET FOR HEAVEN. A State of Grace upon Earth the only

Preparation for a State of Glory in Heaven. "The author, in his or her former work, "Heaven our Home,” portrayed a sociAL HEAVEN, WHERE SCATTERED FAMILIES MEET AT LAST IN LOVING INTERCOURSE AND IN POSSESSION OF PERFECT RECOGNITION, to spend a never-ending eternity of peace and love. In the present work the individual state of the children of God is attempted to be unfolded, and more especially the state of probation which is set apart for them on earth to fit and prepare erring mortals for the society of the saints. The work, as a whole, displays an originality of conception, a fow of language, and a closeness of reasoning rarely found in religious publications. . . . The author combats the pleasing and generally accepted belief, that DEATH WILL EFFECT AN ENTIRE CHANGE ON THE SPIRITUAL CONDITION OF OUR SOULS, and that all who enter into bliss will be placed on a common level.'-Glasgow Herald.
