Read Heb. iii. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.-Heb. iii. 5, 6. XV. AARON. And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.-Exodus xxviii. 1. That no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD.-Num. xvi. 40. And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee.— Heb. v. 4, 5. But Christ being come And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense an high priest of good upon: of shittim-wood shalt thou make it. And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin-offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD.Ex. xxx. 1, 10. things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.—Heb. ix. 11, 12. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.-Heb. ix. 24 26.

OF FIFTH AND ARCH STREETS, PHILADELPHIA, Invites attention to the following valuable works just published: THE CHURCHMAN'S MANUAL: BY THE REV. BENJAMIN DORR. D. D., RECTOR OF CHRIST CHURCH, PHILADELPHIA. THIRD EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED. 12mo., cloth, $1. The following are some of the notices of the preceding editions: -as a I do not hesitate to say that it will fully sustain the title which it bears, and deserves to be in the hands of every Churchman. As a family book for the instruction of Christian households in "the principles of the doctrine of Christ”parish and Sunday school library book for the engagement and edification of the young-as a tractate to be put into the hands of all who are inquiring for "the truth as it is in Jesus"—as a guide to "the Gospel in the Church," so that all may read, so plain that all must understand it-thoroughly scriptural, practical, spiritual,-I commend it to the widest circulation, and implore for it the blessing of the Lord. 30 GEORGE W. DOANE, Bishop of the Diocese of New Jersey. II From the Sunday School Visiter. This excellent volume seems to unite all suffrages in its approval. Dr. Dorr has clearly shown in reference to the Protestant Episcopal Church that her doctrines are evangelical, her ministry apostolic, and her worship primitive and scriptural. The work before us is written in a truly Christian spirit. It can give offence to no one who feels a real desire to inquire after the truth as it is in Jesus. From the Utica Gospel Messenger. The prevailing excellence of Mr. Dorr's manual consists, as we think, in the distinct and unequivocal manner in which his several subjects are presented. They are brought forward under the following divisions: DOCTRINES OF THE CHURCH, MINISTRY OF THE CHURCH; WORSHIP OP THE CHURCH; With an appendix containing three chapters on Bowing at the name of Jesus; on Christ's descent into Hell; on the word " Catholic" in the Creed. We say to our readers, get the book. Use it as a family volume, and let the young especially study and understand it. Every Churchman-ay, every one who desires to know what the Church is, should have one. From the Episcopal Recorder. It will be found a work of an interesting and useful character for those who are inquiring into the peculiar claims and characteristics of the Episcopal Church. It is compiled in a Christian and excellent temper. From the Protestant Episcopalian-by late Rev. J. W. James. Church people, and inquirers about our Zion, if they take this book and steadily peruse it, will find themselves frequently saying "this is the very thing we wanted." To embrace all these subjects in a book of its size, it was necessary to study condensation and brevity; the author has done this and more: he has not indulged himself in spinning theories, in rounding sentences; but has evidently designed to explain and to in struct. It may be safely and profitably put into the hands of any whose hearts are just becoming sensible of religious duties. II We should be very much pleased if we could present a copy to every acquaintance we have. From the Charleston Gospel Messenger. Among the many excellent books, which leave all without excuse who choose to continue in ignorance of our Church, we know of none more likely than this, to answer the end designed by its author of giving "some such compendious views of the doctrines, ministry, and worship of the Church" as may be "put into the hands of those who have neither time nor inclination to read voluminous works, that they may see at once what the Church has taught on these subjects." To such persons, and indeed to every one who would meet with the truth well expressed, and in few words, this manual may be warmly commended. THE HISTORY OF A POCKET PRAYER BOOK, WRITTEN BY ITSELF. BY THE REV. BENJAMIN DORR, D. D., RECTOR OF CHRIST CHURCH, PHILADELPHIA. THIRD EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED. 16mo., cloth, 50 cts. From the Banner of the Cross-by Bp.
