THE FINGER OF GOD.

BY THE REV. JOHN CUMMING, D.D.

"It deals with subjects on which true Christians now have not two opinions, and on which the most opposite of the most ultra of partizans ought not to disagree. *** It therefore addresses itself to a wide class, and it is evidently intended for all professing Christians, irrespective of denomination."-Church and State Gazette.

"A work which well proves that the author can be eloquent upon other topics besides those of the Romish Controversy and Apocalyptic Interpretation. Indeed, for our own part, we like him better on a subject like the present. There are some truly eloquent and graceful passages in the little volume before us, which must commend themselves to every reader."Critic.

"A work not of great magnitude, but of great interest. This work will amply repay perusal. Notwithstanding occasional evidences of rapid composition, it contains many instances of great beauty of thought."-Church of

Scotland Review.

"A little volume which abounds in beauties both of thought, style, and illustration."-The Church Journal.

"Eloquent, demonstrative, and useful."-Wesleyan Methodist Magazine.

FORESHADOWS:

Or, LECTURES on our LORD'S MIRACLES and PARABLES, as
Earnests of the Age to come.

New Edition, with Designs by JOHN FRANKLIN. In Two Volumes, uniformly printed, price 9s. each, bound and gilt.

PREFACE.

"IT has been the design of the author, in these Lectures, to set forth as fully as possible the redemptive character of the miracles of our Lord; in other words, to show that they were not mere feats of power, or proofs of Divine beneficence, but installations of the future age;-specimens on a smaller scale of what will be realized when the prediction of the last two chapters of the Apocalypse shall have become actualized in full and lasting fact."

Notices of the First Series.

"There is a novelty and freshness about this method of presenting an almost forgotten truth, combined with a copiousness of illustration which constitutes the great charm of Dr. Cumming's pulpit labours, and which will doubtless secure for the volume before us an extensive circulation."-Bell's Messenger.

"As we follow the gifted author in his contemplations, we are unceasingly dissatisfied with that barren view which would restrict the notion of a miracle to a deviation from the course of nature. * * * This volume has much to recommend it to the reading and thinking public, and will, beyond all doubt, rapidly secure a high place in the general estimation."-Morning Herald.

APOCALYPTIC SKETCHES;

Or, LECTURES on the BooK OF REVELATION, delivered in Exeter Hall, and Crown Court Church. New Editions, revised and corrected by the Author, with Index, &c.

Sixteenth Thousand. In two Vols. price 9s. each, cloth gilt;

or 13s. morocco elegant.

"THESE Lectures were begun in Exeter Hall, during the period occupied in the enlargement of the Church of which the Lecturer is the Minister Not a few were then afraid that the Author might be led into rash and questionable theories in investigating a subject confessedly beset with difficulties; but, by the blessing of God, and the exercise of caution and prayerful study, all has ended more than satisfactorily. The unprecedentedly large masses of persons of every denomination, and of no denomination at all, who overflowed the spacious hall in which they were delivered, and the growing attention excited in the minds of these audiences, and the saving and very striking impressions made on unconverted minds by the means of the solemn truths they heard, are all signs and tokens that call for humble gratitude to God.

"Numerous requests were made for their publication. A short-hand writer was therefore engaged, who took a verbatim report of every Lecture. These reports the Author has now corrected; and trusts that the work will be found a substantial summary of his Discourses on the Apocalypse. It is his earnest prayer that these, and all his labours, may redound to the glory of God, and the good of souls."

"The fervent piety, subdued and reverent reasoning, careful thought and expansive charity, which prompt, guide, control, and vivify the whole, prove its author one of those gifted teachers whom it is, indeed, a privilege to hear."Morning Advertiser.

LECTURES ON THE SEVEN CHURCHES OF ASIA MINOR.

Forming a Third Series of APOCALYPTIC SKETCHES, illustrated by Wood Engravings representing the present state of the Apostolic Churches.

Eleventh Thousand, price 9s. cloth gilt; or 13s. morocco extra.

"There is a striking and happy admixture from beginning to end, of the practical with the experimental; of the doctrinal with the experimental and practical. The volume, as a whole, exhibits a fine specimen of popular preaching, free, flowing, pictorial, and eloquent, indicating a man who has read much, thought much, and is a very keen observer."-British Banner.

"These Lectures are written in a strong, nervous style, which cannot fail to recall the living man to those who have heard Dr. Cumming in the pulpit, or orr the platform."-Weekly Chronicle.
