GEMS OF ILLUSTRATIONS 



From the Writings of Dr. Guthrie, arranged under 

 the subjects which they illustrate. 

 By ait American Clergyman. 



Price, in Cloth, $1.50. 



This book abounds in picturesque similes. Dr. Guthrie has rarely, 

 if ever, bean equaled either in the number, beauty or force of the 

 illustrations with which his sermons and writings abound. They 

 have been collected by an American clergyman, a great admirer of 

 the author, and the book forms a perfect storehouse of anecdotes, 

 comparisons, examples and illustrations. It contains the choicest of 

 his illustrations, arranged under the subjects which they illustrate. 



Ihe London Times says: "Dr. Guthrie is the most elegant orator in 

 Europe." 



Dr. Candlish a&ya: "Dr. Guthrie's genius has long since placed 

 him at the head of all the gifted and popular preachers of our day." 



Dr. James W. Alexander says : "I listened to him for fifty minutes, 

 but they passed like nothing." 



Tho Western Christian Ad- 

 vocate says : " Dr. Guthrie was pe- 

 culiarly happy in the use of brilliant 

 and forcible illustrations in his ser- 

 mons and writings. An American hs 

 selected many of these gems of thought 

 and arranged them under the subjects 

 wbich they illustrate. Readers and 

 preachers will enjoy them, and will find 

 many baantiful sentiments and seed- 

 thoughts for present and future use." 



The Boston Sunday Globe 



says : "Dr. Guthrie's illustrations are 

 rich and well chosen and give great 

 force to his ideas. Love, faith, hope, 

 charity are the pillars of MJ belief." 



The Luthernn Observer, Phila- 

 delphia, says: "The power of illu^tra- 

 tion should be cultivated by preachers 

 of the Gospel, and this volume of speci- 

 mens, if used aright, will furnish valu- 

 able suggestions. A good illustration 

 in a sermon awakens the imagination, 

 helps the memory and gives the barb 

 to truth that it may fasten in the 

 heart." 



The Christian Intelligencer 



says : " It is a large repository full of 

 stirring thoughts set in those splendid 

 forms of ' spiritualized imagination,' of 

 which Dr. Guthrie was the peerless 

 master." 



The Christian Observer, Louis- 

 ville, says: " No words of ours could 

 add to its value."

 mine of literary wealth."

 was not given to every generation to 

 have a Guthrie."
