THE SCHOOL, AND THE CHURCH; OR THE PRESBYTERIAN EDUCATION REPOSITORY. EDITED BY C. VAN RENSSELAER, CORRESPONDING SECRETARY OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. VOL. VII. PHILADELPHIA: 265 CHESTNUT STREET. PRINTED BY C. SHERMAN & SON. PREFACE. THE Seventh Volume of "HOME, THE SCHOOL, AND THE CHURCH," is sent on its annual round to the Ministers and Candidates of our Church. Brethren, upon you rest in an especial manner, the privilege and responsibility of sustaining the great interests of Private and Public Education in general, and of Ministerial Education in particular. The Editor has again done what he could to refresh your "pure minds" with "things new and old," out of the treasury of our religious literature. He presents another volume for your Christian consideration, in the hope that it may be welcomed as, in its way, interesting and edifying. Brethren, please remember the Board of Education. Pray for its objects; preach about them; and give every congregation in the Church the opportunity of contributing to its funds by a public collection. PHILADELPHIA, January, 1857. C. V. R. |
