First Principles of Religion and Morality,

Chiefly for the Young.

Twenty Lectures, by John Page Hopps.

"Multum in parvo emphatically describes this publication. There is indeed much in little. Under the following heads:—God, The Holy Spirit, Man, Immortality, Religion, Duty, Conscience, Sin, Rightcousuess, Punishment, Hell, Reward, Heaven, Salvation, Pardon, Faith, Revelation, The Bible, Jesus, and the Church—Mr. Hopps has said things much needed by young people. . . . Children well read in this book will be prepared, in great degree, for the battle of life, and it is also fitted to help those of larger growth. Mr. Hopps has indeed given, as he hopes he has in his preface, 'in a concise and systematic form, a general view of religious ideas that are, as a rule, unfairly judged because they are grievously misunderstood.'"

"The best thanks, not only of the Sunday-school teacher, but of every minister, are due to Mr. Hopps for this valuable and suggestive work. The author says that the book is intended for the young and teachers of the young, but no less adapted is it for the highest clssses in the school; indeed, here our adult classes have the book which they have so long needed, one that is worth earnest study during the week, and then on the Sunday afternoon to be discussed by the members together in the class-room. In these lectures such subjects as God, The Holy Spirit, Man, Immortality, Religion, Duty, Sin, Heaven, Hell, Jesus Christ, The Church, are briefly yet ably and clearly discussed. Our teachers have often asked for a book which should enable them to give an account of the faith that was in them, and explain the fundamental truths of religion to their scholars. In this book all will find invaluable assistance, for it appeals alike to teachers of every 'school '; indeed, seldom, if ever, have we found a book so doctrinal, and yet so absolutely unscetarian. There is hardly a single sentence which anyone, whatever may be their own doctrinal position, can wish away."—The Sunday-School Teacher's Manual.

"Twenty short sermons for children, each with a few stanzas appended, on the great themes of God and the Spirit; on Man and the Immortal Life; on Religion, Duty, and Conscience; on Sin, Righteousness, Punishment, Hell, Reward, and Heaven; on Salvation and Pardon; on Faith, Revelation, and the Bible; on Jesus and the Church. The doctrine is high, and rational, and true; the words are simple, clear, and fervent; the tone is positive and not polemic; and the spirit is noble. Mr. Hopps has printed nothing better than these short discourses. They are as good for men and women as for children, and we bespeak for them a wide circulation in their convenient form."— The Christian Register.
