SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y. JOHN JOHNSON & CO. 1888.
Entered according to the act of Congress in the year 1888, BY REV. ZENAS OSBORNE, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C.
One of the specialties of this age is book-making. This argues demand. This demand, especially in the realm of morals and religion is based, partly on the prevalence of erroneous theories and the importance of their refutation; partly on the necessity that renewed and increased emphasis be given to the word of God; partly on the existence of what is called “advanced thought,” and partly on the fact of a great reading public. Then let the good work go on. The servants of sin and error are busy and persistent in pushing their productions to the front. Let the sons of “grace and truth” magnify their office, and “hold forth the Word of Life.” The demand for good and useful books will increase as long as error increases, as long as truth and the Church of Christ are antagonized.
