    I From by the the same Rev . . — Charles Christianity Crosleg Jud h , D ged . D . by , Chaplain its Fruits of , ' the Royal Engineering CollegeCooper ' s Hill .

    There is probably no evidence in , favour of the Divine origin and absolute claims of Christianity which has so powerful an influence on tho lives

    of men and the conduct of nations as an exhibition of its practical results . This is , in effect , the scheme of the little book before us ,

    happ and , iness viewing , and Christianity the material in its prosperity relation to m of orals its , professorsand in its indirect bearings on the

    world in general , , Dr . Croslegh affords a triumphant vindication of its claims to the adhesion of thoughtful men . On the position taken up by

    doubters he writes firmly but tolerantly , and says with justice that ' in these days we bear perhaps too much in praise of honest doubt . Not

    to be at rest in matters of religion is a strange ground for self-complacence . Mere wavering is no sign of menta— l vigour ij . Neither is the fact

    3 " that we do not at present see the truth any

    proof that truth cannot be found .
