FOURTH SERIES.

VOL. IV.]	BETHANY, VA. APRIL, 1854.	[NO. IV.

      THIS elegant little volume of 88 pages, by our well-known and esteemed friend, Dr. Richardson, is a brief but comprehensive view of the cardinal points of Christianity, as set forth and urged upon the public by our brethren. It is just such a book, therefore, as has been long asked for, and as every disciple would do well to procure. How often are we asked by friendly and inquiring aliens, for some statement of our Jews of the Bible, and especially of the Christian Religion; yet, until the appearance of this little volume, we had no such compend, to which we could refer the inquirer. This want is now, however, well provided for, and Bro. Richardson is entitled to our acknowledgments for the good service he has rendered the brethren in producing, in so condensed a form, a volume so well suited to the purpose for which it has been written.

      We are gratified to learn that the brethren have shown their appreciation of this little work, by the liberal order which they have sent in for it. We trust that many more will imitate their example. By reference to the terms on the cover, it will be seen that five dollars will pay for forty copies, and ten dollars for one hundred copies. These are sums that many individuals, and all churches, could easily afford to spend in the circulation of so useful a work as this, and thus, in a kind and courteous manner, lend their aid to the diffusion of useful knowledge, the correction of misconceptions, the removal of prejudice, and the gradual introduction and prevalence of more enlarged and scriptural views of Christian faith and union.
