THE LIFE AND TRAVELS OF THE APOSTLE PAUL.
LILLY, Wait, & Co. have just published a beautiful 18mo volume containing 272 pages, with the above title. It is furnished with questions, rendering it suitable for use in Sunday schools. The work has undergone a careful revision, by a clergyman of the Episcopal Church, residing in the western part of this state, and may be considered a valuable addition to Sunday school literature. We believe it will be acceptable to Christians generally, being free from everything of a sectarian character. To the volume is prefixed a neat Map of the countries traveled and the places visited by the Apostle. This map is on red ground with white letters, a style of engraving which we have not before seen in American books. It produces the best effect.

The Abolitionists were immersed in Biblical narratives. The story of Paul had much to offer them: a conversion experience, commitment to proselytizing across vast geographic areas and through patent danger, and ultimate martyrdom.
