E TAKE pleasure in presenting the third volume of our New Testament Christianity, which, like the first and second volumes, is published for gratuitous distribution among the ministers of the Christian church.

      The contents are made up largely of sermons comprising the collection of the late Z. T. Sweeney, who originated and planned the series and edited the volumes already distributed. The purpose of New Testament Christianity, as our friends may already know, is twofold; as Mr. Sweeney announced:

      1. To let our preachers--especially our young preachers--get a clear insight into the aims of the Restoration movement. 2. To arm them for the defense of the movement.

      The articles in the three books may be used freely by those interested without fear of plagiarism. "The material," as Mr. Sweeney said in Volume I, "is in no sense private property, but is the legacy of us all."

      We are glad that we are in a position to continue the work designed by Mr. Sweeney, and appreciate the cordial reception of our efforts.
