It cannot be otherwise .han gratifying to every Baptist, to find

It is in Jesus" with such a vigorous grasp, and commend it to

Out they are pure gold.' —Baptist Messenger.

BOWLING'S CONFERENCE HYMNS.
Thb publisher begs leave to submit a few of the many unsolicited re
commendations of this little volume, which have been received. It is
eminently adapted for use in the family, and for private devotion. The
low price brings it within the means of all, and Its large typs adapts it to
the old as welt as the young.
A prominent pastor in Illinois writes: "I received the copy of Dr.
Do w ling's hymns, which you sent me some time ago. 1 have examined
them thoroughly, and have shown them to many others. The universal
expression is, 'This is just the book we want in the West Here are the
old, soul-cherished revival hymns, which everybody knows, and wi'h
which everybody is delighted.1 The mixed nature of our population
here renders it difficult to obtain hymn books which all will like. But
thta little volume is almost known to all by heart, whether from Hie east,
west, north, or south. The hymns are those which almost every Chris*
v. an has learned and loved ; not for their poetic elegance, but for their
spirit and good religious sentiment I have also taken pains to obtain
copies of the Social Psalmist, the Christian Melodist (by Br. lianva.nl),
and the Baptist Harp. These are generally very good, but everybody
says Dr. Dowting's hymns are the ones for the West to use in conference,
prayer, and Inquiry meetings. Thousands of them can be sold in this
State, if they are introduced."
> Prom Rev. John M. PecA, of Missouri.
"It is exactly such a book as thousands want and will buy In these
great, central States."
Prom the Vermont Gazette.
"This work is designed especially to meet a want existing in the Bap
tist denomination. The high literary character of the auihor is a sure
guarantee iu this respect. But, after all. it is not so much finely finished
sentences as soul-stirring truths, hymned by warm hearts, that impart
to the social interview its greatest zest."
Prom the Michigan Christian Herald.
" From a hasty examination, we should think that Mr. Dowling had ex
ecuted the work in a judicious manner."
Prom the Baptist Memorial.
**The people generally will say—give us the old-fashioned hymns, If
the poetry is not quite as good ; while some critics will think otherwise
Most of the hymns are, however, unobjectionable in respect to poetic
merit."
From the Western Christian Journal.
" Hymn bonks are multiplying, but we shall be mistaken 'f this does
not prove to be p popular collection. It contains 360 hymns and many
of them the sweetest in the language."
Prom tne Christian Secretary.
** We can cheerfully commend this little book to the churches, as being
pre-eminently adapted to the purposes (or which ft is designed."
