Ji During the sessions of the General Assembly of 1868 in A lbany, the Author was honored with an invitation from the Rev. G. C. Heckman, D. D., pastor of the State Street Church in that city, to visit a large and intelligent class held every Sunday afternoon in the body of the church, and instructed in the Confession of Faith by the admirable elder and fellow-labourer in the gospel, E. P. Durant, Esq. In both design and success this exercise appeared worthy of universal emulation. I ts design was to diffuse throughout the entire congregation a higher knowledge of divine things, and a more earnest and intelligent appreciation of the doctrines and doctrinal Standards of our own denomination, and to educate its best elements of every age in preparation for the inestimably import.ant offices of ruling elder, Sabbath-school and Bible-class teacher, and lay-preacher, etc. I ts success, as evidenced by the number, the character, the intelligent interest and the regular attendance of the members, was and is to the present time as astonishing as it is gratifying. At that time the design of this Commentary on the Confession of Faith was conceived. It consists of an analysis of its Chapters and Sections, with proofs and illustrations of its teachings with Questions appended for the convenience of both the learner and teacher. It is in no sense controversial.
