PUBLICATIONS OF E. CLAXTON & CO. Swedenborg and Channing. Showing the many and remarkable agreements in the teachings and beliefs of these writers. By B. F. Barrett. Pp. 288. 12mo. 60 cts. "A very striking parallelism [between Swedenborg and Channing] is Shown on essential points" . . . such as, "repentance, faith, prayer, sin, salvation, tho atonement, the resurrection, future retribution, the nature of heaven, the Holy Spirit, etc." — Phila. North American. " Mr. Barrett's book is a valuable contribution to the prevailing religious controversy growing out of the protest, by our most advanced thinkers, against the narrow and gloomy views of Calvinism." — Daily Graphic. "Mr. Barrett has prepared his interesting volume in the spirit of pro- found reverence for Swedenborg, and of affectionate admiration of Dr. Channing. In many cases, the resemblances which he sets forth are of a Striking character." — New York Tribune. " The book cannot fail to be of absorbing interest to thousands of Chris- tian readers." — Mount Joy Herald. " Under fifty-seven different titles, it shows how Swedenborg and Chan- ning agree respecting the niost dominant Christian truths, by pertinent quotations from the writings of both. The book is thus made very read- able and instructive." — Christian liegister. " With brief introductions for each chapter by the author, extracts are given to show the essential agreement of these great theologians. . . . Mr. B. F. Barrett is doing more to popularize the writings of Swedenborg, tbau all the writers of tho New Church that have gone before him." — Uhicayo Advance. "A very interesting work." — Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. " The spirit of tho work is excellent, and its motive commendable." — Congregationalism "It will be a matter of interest, and probably of surprise, to the re- ceivers of the heavenly doctrines, to find in the writings of Dr. Channing so many and such important points of coincidence with the teachings of Swedenborg, as are presented by Mr. Barrett in the volume above named." — New Jerusalem Messenger. Rev. Mr. Doughty (New Church minister in San Francisco), in a letter to the author, says : " I am more than pleased with the book. I must say that I was aston- ished to find how much of a New Churchman Channing was. Ho was unquestionably a man of high spiritual illumination." A Judge in one of our Western courts writes: " Others, to whom I have loaned the work, are delighted with it. 1 consider it the most valuable of all your productions; and it will be read by people of other denominations with more profit to themselves than any work yet written by a New Churchman." 11
