THE APOSTOLICAL AND PRIMITIVE CHURCH; Popular in 

 its government and simple in its worship. By LYMAN COLEMAN. With 

 an introductory essay, by Dr. AUGUSTUS NEANDER, of Berlin. Second 

 Edition. Price $1.25. 



The Publishers have been favored with many highly commendatory notices of this 

 work, from individuals and public journals. The first edition found a rapid sale; it has 

 been republished in England, and received with much favor; it is universally pronounced 

 to be standard authority on this subject ; and is adopted as a Text Book in Theological 

 Seminaries. 



From the Professors in Andover Theological Seminary. 



" The undersigned are pleased to hear that you are soon to publish a new edition of the 

 'Primitive Church,' by LYMAN COLEMAN. They regard this volume as the result of 

 extensive and original research ; as embodying very important materials for reference, 

 much sound thought and conclusive argument. In their estimation, it may both interest 

 and instruct the intelligent layman, may be profitably used as a Text Book for Theologi- 

 cal Students, and should especially form a part of the libraries of clergymen. The intro- 

 duction, by NEANDER, is of itself sufficient to recommend the volume to the literary 

 public." LEONARD WOODS, BELA B. EDWARDS, 



RALPH EMERSON, EDWARD A. PARK. 



From Samuel Miller, D.D., Princeton Theological Seminary. 



" Gentlemen, I am truly gratified to find that the Rev. Mr. COLEMAN'S work on the 

 'Apostolical and Primitive Church,' is so soon to reach a second edition. It is, in my 

 judgment, executed with learning, skill, and fidelity; and it will give me great pleasure to 

 learii that it is in the hands of every minister, and every candidate for the" ministry in our 

 land, and indeed of every one who is disposed, and who wishes for enlightened and safe 

 guidance, on the great subject of which it treats." 



Yours, respectfully, SAMUEL MILLER. 



THE CHURCH MEMBER'S MANUAL Of Ecclesiastical Principles, 

 Doctrines, and Discipline ; presenting a Systematic View of the Structure, 

 Polity, Doctrines, and Practices of Christian Churches, as taught in the 

 Scriptures ; by WM. CROWELL. With an Introductory Essay, by HENRY 

 J. KIPLEY, D.D. Price 90 cents. 



The Rer. J. Dowling, D.D., of New York, writes : " I have perused, with great satis- 

 faction ' The Church Member's Manual.' I have long felt in common with many of my 

 ministering brethren, the need of just such a work to put into the hands of the members, 

 and especially the pastors and deacons of our churches. . . As a whole, I have great 

 pleasure in commending the work to the attention of all Baptists. I think that Bro. Crowell 

 has performed his task in an admirable manner, and deserves the thanks of the whole Bap- 

 tist community." 



We cordially concur in the above recommendation. S. H. Cone, Elisha Tucker, W. W. 

 Evarts, David Bellamy, Henry Davis, A. N. Mason, and A. Haynes. 



The pastor of one of the largest and most influential churches in New England, writes 

 as follows . 



" The work is admirably adapted to the wants of pastors and private members. If I 

 could have my wish, not only the ministers, but the deacons and senior members of our 

 churches would own and read the book." 



Another writes " I have read this work with great pleasure. For a long time such a 

 guide has been needed, and much detriment to the church would have been avoided, hud 

 it made its appearance sooner." 



" This very complete Manual of Church Polity is all that could be desired in this depart- 

 ment. Every important point within a wide range, is brought forward, and every point 

 touched is settled." Christian Review. 



" While we dissent from the positions laid down in this book, yet we honor the author for 

 carrying out his principles. He undertook to write a Baptist book, and we cheerfully 

 bear testimony that he has done his work and done it well. We bear testimony to the 

 depth of thought and conciseness and purity of style which do credit to the author."

A pastor writes "I sincerely wish that every professor of religion in the land may 

 possess this excellent manual. I am anxious that every member of my church should 

 possess it, and shall be linppy to promote its circulation still more extensively." 



"The spontaneous effusion of our heart, on laying the book down, was, may every 

 church-member in our land soon possess this book, and be blessed with all the happiness 

 which conformity to its evangelic sentiments and directions is calculated to confer."
