Excerpt from Traveling in the Holy Land Through the Stereoscope
It is the recognition of these two great facts that has determined the nature Of this book. If stereographs are life-size spaces of three dimensions to the eyes, they should be recognized as such and used as such. And if they may be to a greater or less degree, according as we use them, the realities to us, then they should be treated so as to make them realities as far as possible.
And it seems the more we treat them as places, as Palestine itself, the more they become the same to us. Accordingly in the following pages are given such maps and information as will make this small volume serve the purpose of a guide-book, and at the same time, as I said at the beginning, I have tried to serve in it as a personal guide, saying everything in such a way as to constantly help and lead us to make this tour, to visit these stereographed scenes, as a tourist visits the actual scenes in Palestine. It will be found that on this stereoscopic tour one is carried to all the more important places in Palestine, and in the same order that a tourist might visit them; and in the more important sections the stereographed scenes are so connected that you may move from one position to another in such a way as to really make it a continuous journey. I urge upon all who have not actually visited Palestine, to give the closest attention to the maps and the descriptions, with the purpose Of always keeping their bearings as they move from one place to another.
Finally, we have space for only a word on the impor tance of the land of Palestine, why we need to know it intimately, why we should stand in the very presence Of its hills and valleys.

No institution has spanned more centuries and more continents than the Christian church. Its dramatic story is one of bloodshed and peace, corruption and purity. Here Dr. Hurlbut retells this story in an objective, concise, and clear style, emphasizing the spirit of the church, its growth and maturation, and the causes leading to historic events and their resulting influence. Accurate, up-to-date, and vividly presented, Hurlbut's Story of the Christian Church traces the six general periods of church history from A.D. 30 to the present day. A concluding section, covering the period since Dr. Hurlbut's death, has been added in this revised edition, thus giving the reader a complete, easily understood overview of the Christian church. Designed for two audiences, this book contains outlines and references in the margins to aid the student or teacher along with a continuous narrative and numerous illustrations for the general reader. It is ideal for Sunday school use, since it includes suggested outlines and review questions for each chapter at the end of the book.

Excerpt from Our Church: What Methodists Believe, and How They Work
I weep, said the great artist, because it seems to me absolutely perfect. Hitherto I have felt that every statue that I have made was below my powers. I could see de feets in them all, and believed that I could improve upon any one of them. But as I look at this I can see no flaw or imperfection in it. It comes fully up to the ideal of Christ that is in my own mind, and that feeling makes me sure that I shall never carve another statue to surpass it, or even to equal it. I weep because I have touched the top of my powers, and henceforth only a decline awaits me.

Magnitude of the Sunday-School Movement. At the opening of the twentieth century the Sunday school stands forth as one of the largest, most widely spread, most characteristic, and most influential institutions of the Anglo-Saxon world.
Jesse Lyman Hurlbut was a clergyman, editor, and author.
Background
Hurlbut was born in New York City in 1843. He was a descendant of Thomas Hurlbut who settled at Saybrook, Connecticut, about 1635, and the son of Samuel and Evelina (Proal) Hurlbut. While he was a child the family moved to Orange, N. J. , where his boyhood was spent.
Education
He was one of twenty-three to graduate from Wesleyan University in the class of 1864, thirteen of whom became ministers.
Career
After graduating from college he spent a year teaching in the Seminary at Pennington, N. J. In 1865 he joined the Newark Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His pastorates included Roseville Church, Newark, Trinity Church, Staten Island, and churches at Montclair, Paterson, Plainfield, and Hoboken. In 1875 he visited Chautauqua, N. Y. , where the year before Lewis Miller and John H. Vincent had founded the Sunday School Assembly. This visit proved to be a turning point in Hurlbut's life, as he tells us in The Story of Chautauqua (1921). It sent him to Chautauqua for over fifty consecutive years, and brought him into close connection with Vincent, to whom he was assistant, 1879-88, first as field agent, then as assistant secretary of the Methodist Sunday School Union and Tract Society and assistant editor of its publications. In 1888 when Vincent was elected bishop, Hurlbut was elected to succeed him, as secretary and editor. His interest in the Chautauqua Movement never abated. He believed that nearly all of the older woman's clubs grew out of it and that the Woman's Christian Temperance Union had its beginnings there.
In addition to his other duties he served as the first corresponding secretary of the Epworth League, 1889-92. He became a pastor again in 1900 and served Morristown, South Orange, and Bloomfield, N. J. , and was then for five years district superintendent of the Newark District, retiring in 1918. He was the author of a list of books numbering fully thirty titles, some of which ran through several editions and had large sales. Of these, besides The Story of Chautauqua, the most important were: Manual of Biblical Geography (1884; revised, 1899); Organizing and Building up the Sunday School (1910); Our Church: What Methodists Believe and How They Work (1902); Outline Normal Lessons for Normal Classes (1885); Revised Normal Lessons (1893); Sunday Half Hours with Great Preachers (1907). He was also the editor of many books.
Some time after 1900 he formed a connection with the J. C. Winston Company of Philadelphia, and edited, revised, and rewrote a number of volumes for them. Of the teacher-preacher type, he was in great demand as a speaker at Chautauquas all over the country. He died at Bloomfield, N. J. , in his eighty-eighth year.
He graduated with the first Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle class in 1882, and was its president.
Personality
His manner was gracious and courteous, his address pleasing.
Connections
On March 5, 1867, he married Mary M. Chase of New York City, who died February 16, 1913. They were the parents of seven children, three of whom survived their father.
