A CLOUD OF

INDEPENDENT WITNESSES TO

THE

TRUTH, VALUE, NEED, AND SPIRITUAL HELPFULNESS OF SWEDENSORG'S TEACHINGS.

BY B. F. BARRETT. A

volume of 318 pages, 12mo, containing the testimony of more than a hundredministers to the great enlightenment and spiritual help which they have received from the writings of Swedenborg. These witnesses represent no less than ten of the leading denominations, and some of them are among the most emi nent writers on theology ; but none of them were ever identi fied with the organization known as the New Church. Copious quotations are made from the writings of a few of them, showing the character of their beliefs ana teachings on every important point of Christian Theology ; and in addition to, and perfect agreement with, these quotations, are given extracts from more than a hundred letters from ministers. Whoever read9 this work cannot fail to see that the Chris tianity commended by these distinguished divines is eminently rational, spiritual, inspiring and Scriptural. The book is pronounced Tby many competent judges the best work ever published to dissipate the prevailing prejudice against, ana incite thoughtful minds to an earnest inquiry into, the new revealings through Swedenborg. The growing interest in these revealings among the most independent and spiritually-minded people within the past few years, is also shown by the increasing circulation of Swedenborg's works, especially among the clergy. Price $1.00, post-paid; and 25 per cent, discount will be allowed to ministers, or to any one ordering three or more Address copies.
