This book is not merely an official
publication of the Acts, Petitions and
Proclamations, in connection with the
long struggle in colonial and revolutionary
Virginia, which issued in the separation
of Church and State and in religious
liberty, not only for Virginia, but for
all the States. But it is a carefully
prepared history of that struggle
by one who has the sources
of history at command, and whose
service to the State it has been to
rescue the long neglected archives and
collate them for preservation and inspection.
The introduction is the narrative I
of the coming of religion and its establish
ment in the colony. Chapter second
is on the Parson's Cause, which was the
outbreak of the controversy between the (

aenting people. The third is oil the
Dissenters, their origin and coming, their
growth and their struggle for right and
freedom. The fourth is on the religious
and .church conditions during the Revolution,
the petition of Presbyterians and
Baptists, and the famous petition of Hanover
Presbytery, written by the Rev.
Caleb Wallace, or by Dr. John Blair
Smith, the president of Hampden-Sidney
College. The fifth chapter covers the
controversies over State Assessments for I
the support of religion, and over State
Incorporation. Chapter six tells of the
repeal of the Incorporation Act. And
chapter seven is the story of the last
stage of this long and bitter struggle for
religious liberty, the seizure and sale of

Mr. Eckenrode has accomplished a
work of great value. He has placed
within the grasp of the student of history,
in Virginia and elsewhere, an intelligent
and fair review, with original
documents, of a great chapter in American
history. His book belongs to the
history both of government and of religion.

"SOME JEWISH WITNESSES FOR
CHRIST."
Bv Rev. A. Bernstein. B. D.
(Member of the Yiddish Rible Revision
Committee.)
The book gives the information and
illustrations of the lives of more than 480
Jewish converts in the Protestant
Churches, and in the great majority of
cases they are men who become remarkable
for some form of Christian activity.
It supplies the most remarkable evidence
for the success of missionary work
among the Jews that has ever been issued.
PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SOL
The aim of this book is to show that I
! there always have been Christian Jews
in every epoch of the Church's history.

also, there is a remnant according to the
election of grace." Romans 11:5.
The price of the book is one dollar
