The first part of the volume, extending to page 255, comprising The Apocryphal Gospels,' properly so called, consists of twenty-two separate documents, of which ten are written in Greek and twelve in Latin. These twentytwo may be classed under three heads: (a) those relating to the history of Joseph and the Virgin Mary, previous to the birth of Christ; (b) those relating to the Infancy of the Saviour; and (c) those relating to the history of Pilate. The Origines of the traditions are the protevangelium of James, the Gospel of Thomas, and the Acts of Pilate. All or most of the others can be referred to these three, as compilations, modifications, or amplifications.-Introduction."

He was particularly pleased that Mr. Limborch used the very words of the authors which he cites, that the Inquisitors might be convicted, by the testimony of their own writers, of the villianous frauds and cruelties by which they are charged."—Preface.

THE SERVICE OF Praise; -OR PRAISE; Hymns and Tunes and Scripture Lessons. Arranged for Praise Meetings and Public Worship. By Rev. W. T. EUSTIS, of Springfield, Mass. One vol., small 4to. Per vol.... .$1.50 There has been a general movement throughout the country, notably during the last year or two, in churches of all denominations to infuse greater life into the devotional services by exciting the interest and calling out the active exertions of the people themselves, instead of leaving the burden of conducting the entire exercises upon a limited number of individuals. "Services of Praise" have been found by far the most effective means of accomplishing this very desirable purpose. An obstacle to the universal introduction of these "services" has been the want of a precise knowledge of their character and the difficulty in adjusting orders of exercises. To meet this difficulty, Rev. W. T. Eustis, of Springfield, Mass., one of the pioneers in introducing the "Services of this Praise," has compiled this volume, which cannot fail to do most important service in the churches of all denominations. The Service of Praise, while designed for the ordinary devotion of the Sanctuary, is especially arranged for praise meetings, and contains selections for chanting Scripture Lessons, and several orders of public worship. It differs from the Common Hymn and Tune Books by having a tune attached to each hymn, whether to be sung by the congregation or the choir, and by lessons for reading, selected not only from the Psalms, but from the other Scriptures, while each lesson is upon a special theme. Its marked peculiarity, however, is in the Services of Praise, each complete in itself, and arranged on nearly sixty themes chosen from the Gospel narrative, or belonging to Christian experience and activity, thus meeting a present demand of the Christian Church. For the special purpose named, it must meet with very wide acceptance as a supplement to the larger Hymn Books in use, while very many congregations will find that in number and variety of selection of both hymns and tunes it is amply sufficient to meet all their wants. EXTRACTS FROM THE PREFACE. A new hymn-book has no claim upon public attention, unless answering a public demand. The Service of Praise was prepared to meet a'call loud and general in the Churches of Christ, for a fuller and freer participation in public worship by the congregation. This call has already introduced the responsive reading of Scripture, and has also inaugurated the "Vesper Service" and "the Praise Meeting," whose tendency, however, is to degenerate either into a sacred concert or a singing-school. This book, designed to avoid such a tendency while answering the demand, contains fifty-six arrangements of special services on as many themes relating to Christian life and experience, and to the fundamental truths of the gospel. ** The book, with these services for special occasions and with the Scripture Lessons, may be used as supplementary to the ordinary hymn and tune books. * It is, however, complete in itself, and adapted to the necessities of Public Worship, affording at a moderate price four hundred Hymns and Tunes, the chants of the Christian Church, and Scripture Lessons for alternate reading which are not confined to the Book of Psalms. The hymns were necessarily chosen from their fitness for united worship, and, as a Christian minister scarcely ever uses a hundred in his entire selections for the sanctuary, will be sufficient in number, while their disposition facilitates the choice, and also insures a variety. The book may be profitably employed in the conduct of a weekly prayer-meeting, where the use of the Scripture and hymns suggested would prevent the monotony of thought and song which occasionally makes these seasons a weariness. Several orders of Public Worship differing from the ordinary, which have been approved on trial, fare inserted by permission, though not as hindering the usage of any Church.
