Parable; or, Divine Poesy. Illustrations in Theo

"It is a repertory of the choicest theology,-a mine from which ministers of the Gospel, students, and Christians generally, may draw ample supplies of sound practical divinity. Mr. Bertram has brought before the religioSA public of the present day many authors who have been well-nigh forgotten, though they were men who wrote with great unction and ability. The subjects are all classified, so that the volume auswers in that respect the purpos of an encyclopædia. It is not only one of great, but will be found of enduring, value.”—Morning Advertiser. Third Edition, extra cloth, 6s. 6d.
