 satisfactory as this. We commend it without hesitation. Its 

 mechanical execution is quite commendable, also. The type 

 is liberal, the paper fine, and the binding neat.

THE GENIUS AND MISSION OF METHODISM, 



EMBRACING 



WHAT IS PECULIAR IN DOCTRINE, GOVERNMENTS, 

 MODES OF WORSHIP, ETC. 



BY REV. W. P. STRICKLAND, 



Of the Ohio Conference. 



Price 37| cents. 



The author of the present volume has conceived that an 

 uncultivated province in our denominational literature invited 

 the labor of his mind and pen, in the subject which he has 

 presented to the reading public. 



As a "hand-book" of Methodism, presenting the provi- 

 dential character of its origin and of the institution of its 

 various means for spiritual culture and growth, it will find, 

 we trust, a •welcome place on the shelves of the family library, 

 and in the reading of our people. 



The want of a small portable volume, giving, in a popular 

 form, a digest of our views of faith and forms of discipline, 

 has been felt by our ministerial brethren. Such a volume, 

 exhibiting, without controversy, the peculiarities which give us 

 a distinct existence among the various tribes of Israel, — the 

 object and importance of our religious institutions, and a con 

 nected view of our ecclesiastical polity, — has been considered 

 a desideratum to place in the hands of young converts, and 

 also for the perusal of maturer members of the church, who 

 cannot afford the expense or time required for the purchase 

 and reading of more voluminous works.
