Biblical Revision
by Edward SlaterAmong the characteristics of an Age replete with new and unlooked-for events, perhaps not the least singular and impressive is the desire, now extensively evinced, for an improved translation of Holy Scripture.A solitary voice, it is true, has been raised to the same effect, from time to time; but it has gradually died away in the noise of worldly ..
Christian Marriage Indissoluble - A Plain Sermon
by James Galloway CowanThe following Sermon is printed, partly because some who heard it wished to possess it, and partly because it has been suggested to me that it would be useful for distribution as a tract.

The Palace of Glass and the Gathering of the People
