FIAYNES'S ILLUSTRATIONS OF CHRISTIANITY.
WE have long wanted a compendium of the practical duties of religion,—a book which we could not only put into the hands of our servants and children, but which we ourselves should derive pleasure and profit in perusing. The little* volume of Miss HAYNES answers to this description. It is simple, earnest, and rational. The enthusiast will not meet with clear interpre- tations of things which even St. Peter tells us are hard to be un- derstood; but the mind of the pious and rational Christian will be instructed and refreshed by having those things brought before him which he is called upon to do and to suffer. Such a book every one should possess. There may be, fOr aught we know, others even better than this ; but sure we are, that a better, for real practical purposes, is not necessary.
