THE MISSIONARY ENTERPRISE; A Collection of Discourses 



on Christian Missions, by American Authors. Edited by BAKON 

 STOW, D.D. Second Thousand. Price 85 cents. 



" If we desired to put into the hands of a foreigner a fair exhibition of the capacity and 

 spirit of the American church, we would give him this volume. You have here thrown 

 together a few discourses, preached from time to time, by different individuals, of different 

 denominations, as circumstances have demanded them ; and you see the stature and feel 

 the pulse of the American Church in these discourses with a certainty not to be mistaken. 



" You see the high talent of the American church. "We venture the assertion, that no 

 nation in the world has such an amount of forceful, available talent in its pulpit. The 

 energy, directness, scope, and intellectual spirit of the American church is wonderful. In 

 this book, the discourses by Dr. Beecher, Pres. Wayland, and the Rev. Dr. Stone of the 

 Episcopal church, are among the very highest exhibitions of logical correctness, and burn- 

 ing, popular fervor. This volume will have a wide circulation." The New Evglander. 



" This work contains fifteen sermons on Missions, by Rev. Drs. Wayland, Griffin, Ander- 

 son, Williams, Beecher, Miller, Fuller. Bernan, Stone, Mason, and by Rev. Messrs. Kirk, 

 Stow, and Ide. It is a rich treasure, which ought to be in the possession of every American 

 Christian." Carolina Baptist. 



THE GREAT COMMISSION; Or, the Christian Church constituted 

 and charged to convey the Gospel to the World. A Prize Essay. By 

 JOHN HARRIS, D.D. With an Introductory Essay, by W. R. WILLIAMS, 

 D.D. Fifth Thousand. Price $1.00. 



" His plan is original and comprehensive. In filling it up the author has interwoven 

 facts with rich and glowing illustrations, and with trains of thought that are sometimes 

 almost resistless in their appeals to the conscience. The work is not more distinguished 

 for its arguments and its genius, than for the spirit of deep and fervent piety that per- 

 vades \t." T/te Dayspring. 



" This work comes forth in circumstances which give and promise extraordinary interest 

 and value. Its general circulation will do much good." New York Evangelist. 



"In this volume we have a work of great excellence, rich in thought and illustration of a 

 subject to which the attention of thousands has been called by the word and providence of 

 God." Philadelphia Observer. 



" The merits of the book entitle it to more than a prize of money. It constitutes a most 

 powerful appeal on the subject of Missions." New York Baptist Advocate. 



" Its style is remarkably chaste and elegant. Its sentiments richly and fervently evan- 

 gelized, its argumentation conclusive. Preachers especially should read it; they will re- 

 new their strength over its noble pages." Zion's Herald, Boston. 



" To recommend this work to the friends of missions of all denominations would be but 

 faint praise; the author deserves and will undoubtedly receive the credit of having applied 

 a new lever to that great moral machine which, by the blessing of God, is destined to 

 evangelize the world." Christian Secretary, Hartford. 



"We hope that the volume will be attentively and prayerfully read by the whole 

 church, which are clothed with the " Great Commission " to evangelize the world, and 

 that they will be moved to an immediate discharge of its high and momentous obligations.

THE KAREN APOSTLE; Or, Memoir of Ko THAH-BYU, the first 

 Karen convert, with notices concerning his Nation. W T ith maps and 

 plates. By the Rev. FRANCIS MASON, ^Missionary. American Edition. 

 Edited by Prof. H. J. RIPLEY, of Newton Theol. Institution. Fifth Thou- 

 sand. Price 25 cents. 



*#* " This is a work of thrilling interest, containing the history of a remarkable man, and 

 giving, also, much information respecting the Karen Mission, heretofore unknown in this 

 country. It must be sought for, and read with avidity by those interested in this most in- 

 teresting mission. It gives an account, which must be attractive, from its novelty, of a 

 people that have been but little known and visited by missionaries, till within a few years* 

 The baptism of Ko Thah-Byu, in 1828, was the beginning of the mission, and at the end of 

 these twelve years, twelve hundred and seventy Karens are officially reported as members 

 of the churches, in good standing. The mission has been carried on pre-eminently by the 

 Karens themselves, and there is no doubt, from much touching evidence contained in this 

 volume, that they are a people peculiarly susceptible to religious impressions. The account 

 of Mr. Mason must be interesting to every one.
