God and the Soul
By William Binnie A thoughtful person on taking up a religious autobiography, or a volume of sacred poetry, especially if they have come from a foreign country or a distant age, finds it a profitable and very interesting study to mark the distinctive features of the religious life expressed in them.

The Westminster Confession on the Relation between Church and State
By Dr. William Young I have taken this title rather than the shorter one that has been suggested, i.e. the Establishment Principle, because it avoids certain misleading suggestions.
