weakness of the human mind. After all his labor, therefore, perhaps he has only sketched out a plan for some one to perfect in some future period of the christian church.

Throughout the volume, the author has endeavored to give a distinctness to the object for which Jesus came into the world. He has also attempted to point out the intimate union and connection between the Son and the Father. And here, although he found a oneness and a unity such as never was exhibited before, yet he was compelled to depart from the ground usually occupied by Trinitarians. In doing this, however, he has been equally careful to avoid the Humanitarian scheme. Both he considered as extremes. He believes that in Jesus of Nazareth we see an image, a bright, unclouded, moral exhibition of the great Father, but not God himself! But the author has aimed especially to give a moral and practical turn to the whole work. He has not aimed so much to please the critic, as to warm and move the heart of the humble and devoted follower of Jesus. And he sincerely hopes that his work will promote that great object, and be the means of leading many to bow at the feet of the Saviour.

In the arrangement of the work, the alphabetical order was preferred, on account of its simplicity and ease to the reader. At first, this seemed to preclude the necessity of a table of contents; but farther consideration led the author to prefix one, so that the reader could, at a single glance, see an entire list of all the Names and Titles of the Lord Jesus Christ.

TITLES OF CHRIST.

I. ADAM.

'And so it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul, the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.' 1 Cor. xv. 45.

WITH the original meaning of this term, of course, we have nothing to do. Some remarks, however, on the connection in which it stands, seem necessary to a proper understanding of the whole subject. The Apostle was treating of the resurrection of Jesus. He lays down this great truth as a foundation for the resurrection of the whole human race. In faith, he beholds the structure completed, and hears every voice crying, 'grace, grace, to the top-stone.' A beautiful writer observes as follows on this subject:-'As he passes on, revelling in the greatness of his strength, and absorbed in the immensity of his theme, his argument gathers force, till earth and heaven appear to be in motion before him! He ranges the universe, summons to his aid the power of God, lays his masterly hand upon every fact, gathers them in his grasp, condenses them before his hearers, and in one overwhelming burst of eloquence, makes the whole bear upon the resurrection of Christ, and of man.'
