Excerpt from The Cross of Christ in Bolo-Land Republic 5 influence throughout the Orient has been well emphasized in recent literature. The meaning of the period in its relation to the world's evangelization has not been so ably interpreted. In all the history of modern mis sions we have never seen Protestantism and Catholicism confronting one another on even terms in any field of world importance. Mis sions in Italy, Spain and the South American states have been compelled to fight for their very existence against governmental opposi tion, while at the same time attempting to evangelize ignorant and prejudiced peoples.

Excerpt from History of the Cross of Christ The idea of this little book was suggested to the author by perusing cruciana, an interesting work, by John Holland, published in England in 1835. Some of the quotations, and some of the facts embodied in the followmg sketch, were derived from that source. But the plan, execution, uses of the present essay are, in most respects, so different from those of Mr. Hol land's volume, that no further acknowledgment or refer ence to his work seems to be required. The hope of the author in presenting this humble production to the public, is that it may awaken Christian feelings in those who read it, by showing how the Crossof Christ justly appeals to the reason, - t_he imagination, and the heart of a living'believer. Graciana is a collection of miscel laneous information and literature concerning the Cross. J usti Lipsi De Cruce, - a Latin book printed in 1598 is a literal account, with engravings, of the Cross, its various shapes, and its use as an instrument of torture in different countries and times. The present work gives the symbolic history of that now hallowed object - thelessons taught by its fortunes and uses. This field the writer believes to have been hitherto unoccupied; and it seemed to him so capable, that he trusts a sufficient apology will be found in what he has written, for pub lishing it.

Excerpt from The Cross of Christ I may in this work have erred in many things; for to err is the lot of frail humanity; and no merely human production ever was, or ever will be, faultless. But I can say, with confidence, that I have not erred in any thing essential. And wherefore am I thus confident? Because I believe the word of the Lord Jesus: If any man will do the will of God he shall know of the doc trine whether it be from God (john vii.

Excerpt from The Sign of the Cross in the Nineteenth Century If they were confronted with Satan, the king and god of that age; if they lived in the midst of a world that was not Christian, that wished not to become such, that wished no one to be such, that persecuted those who continued to be such - are not we confronted with Satan, who, unchained on the earth, is inciting nations to rebel against Jesus Christ, and making them cry out incessantly: We will not have Him reign any longer over us? And amidst what do the Christians of our day live? Are they not surrounded by a world that is ceasing to be Christian; that does not wish to return to Christianity, that does not wish others to belong to it, that persecutes in every possible way those who persist in doing so?

Excerpt from The Cross O christ, who died for men, who died for me, I fall before thy feet, ' and cannot see Aught else beside my grievous sins and thee.

Excerpt from The Cross Triumphant Bsus, a carpenter of Galilee, who also was called the Christ by certain Jews who fol lowed him, had been dead full seventeen years dead, and already put out of mind and forgotten by many who had both seen him and heard him speak, when a man-child was born in the little mountain village of Aphtha.
