"According to Dr. Barrett, the true New Jerusalem, which is ... a life of love and obedience, is steadily descending to the earth. It is found in all churches and outside of them all. It is shown in a new spirit of toleration and philanthropy, a perpetual breaking away from the bondage of the letter to the love and service of the spirit, and a growing disposition towards a real union of all true souls on spiritual and practical ground." — New York Daily Graphic. "The most important book concerning the New Church which has been written for years. Its extensive circulation in and out of the external organization of the New Church would do very great good." — Boston New Church Magazine.

Evening Telegraph. "The work is from the real Next) Church stand-point, able in exe- cution and catholic in spirit." — The Living Way. "This treatise is thoroughly liberal, and will undoubtedly con- tribute to popularizing and expanding a form of faith that has grown quietly without such a valuable help." — The North American and 1 hi ted States Gazette. "The volume is pervaded by a large, free, and truly catholic spirit, which is likely to render it acceptable to all who are striving for unity without uniformity among Christian believers." — Boston Evening Transcript 9
