Thus the author of the Mode of Man's Immortality, a book just published at Indianapolis, makes but a slight departure from Orthodoxy and reaches finally very erroneous conclusions. When we leave God and the Bible to follow human theories, however ingenious, we tend surely to th lowes horizon of error. The following pages indirectly co .bat the errors of the books just alluded to, but their higher mission is to assist in directing the doctrines and faith of many a seeker of truth in these fields.

Many standard authors have been consulted, and their thoughts sometimes used, in passing, without special credit, except as now named. Among authors thus consulted are Hagenback, Watson, Angus, Butler, Clark, Henry, and Bishops Clark, Thompson, and Kingsley, to all of whom obligation is hereby expressed.

TILTON, N. H., Jan. 1, 1875.

J. B. R.

Truth crushed to earth will rise again,
The eternal years of God are hers;
But error, writhing in her chain,
Falls dead among her worshipers.
