to gain our daily bread. But, so long as God is true, we can command a blessing.' How can we do it? Pray and obey,' he would say. It was one of his most frequent sayings. It was his principle and his practice. And he emphasized the and, holding with the man who said that work without prayer is atheism, and prayer without work is presumption.

The Life of William Ross of Cowcaddens has been written by his son, the Rev. J. M. E. Ross, M.A. (Hodder & Stoughton; 6s.). It is more than the Life of a man, it is the Life of a movement. And it was no less mighty a movement that it belonged to one locality and gathered round one congregation. We speak of it in the past, but it is a movement still, and mighty. For just because it is local it will last, though the great soul that inspired it has been taken away. Mr. Ross may well be proud of such a father. He has written not unworthily of him; and yet it was not easy to write worthily of him, so many were the jealous eyes watching him of those who loved his father scarcely less than he himself did. It is a biography for preachers. There is a secret in it which preachers should discover. It is the secret of preaching in such a way that men are turned to God under the preaching. William Ross was a Celt, but the secret was not there.

The title of the new volume of Manchester Lectures is Man's Place in Creation (Kelly; 6d.).

'The Oxford Library of Practical Theology' now contains a number of valuable volumes, and the volume which has just been added to it, Church and State in England, by the Rev. W. H. Abraham, D.D., Vicar of St. Augustine's, Hull, is as valuable as any volume in it (Longmans; 5s.). First of all, the new volume is a history of its subject, a careful, impartial, well-arranged, well-written history. But every historian must write for his own time, even with some definite intention of doing his own time good. Keen as is Dr. Abraham's historical sense, his keenest interest is in the Church of England to-day. He has studied the history of Church and State in England in order that both the Church and the State may learn the lessons of history and maintain their alliance in the way that history has shown to be most profitable. That way is, in Dr. Abraham's judgment, best illustrated by the married state. For Dr. Abraham believes in the union of

Church and State; but he does not believe in Erastianism. He believes in such a union as is the union of husband and wife, in which each gives support to the other and neither attempts to dominate the other. Then, he says, 'the unit of church-life would be the parish gathering of the baptized, that is, those who had claimed the privileges of the baptized by confirmation and communion. For executive purposes the baptized communicants of the parish would elect a Parish Church Council, from which delegates would go to form the Diocesan Council, above which would be the Reformed Convocations, joined in a great National Council.' The scheme is an ambitious one. If it could be carried out, Dr. Abraham believes that the Church of England would by and by 'draw together the sundered communions into one great Catholic Church.'

is that it has done so much, both for the literature and for the religious life of the English-speaking peoples in the past, an argument that would fill the earth with encumbrances. Is it not possible to bring the English-speaking people of to-day closer to the Gospels without losing the melodious roll? Besides the introduction and the explanatory notes, there is a series of detached notes at the end, a glossary of archaic words, a map, and indexes.

We are promised another series of sermons. And it is to have the distinction, so far as yet announced at least, that the author of every volume is to be a bishop. The general title is, "The Church Pulpit Library.' Messrs. Nisbet are the publishers. Two volumes have been issuedMy Brethren and Companions, by the Bishop of Durham, and Sermons at Southwark, by the Bishop of Southwark (3s. 6d. each, net).

In Dr. Thomas M'Lauchlan (Oliphant; 5s. net) Mr. Keith Leask has given us a picture of a great Christian Churchman and Celt. He has done more than that. He has given us a vivid picture of that heyday in the Highlands which followed the Disruption, when men were moved to the worship of God with all their heart and soul and strength and mind, and were scarcely moved to anything else. It was a great time, and the men were great. But what good came of it at last? That we cannot tell. Mr. Keith Leask does not tell us. But it was a great time, and the men were great. And one of the greatest was Dr. Thomas M'Lauchlan. How the Church of the Disruption has sacrificed herself for the Highlands ! How her best men have given the best that was in them for the Highlands! Did they spend their strength in vain? It is only in the irritation of the moment that we can think it. After all it is only a fraction of the Highlands that has forgotten their work of faith and labour of love.

The Harvest of the Sea, by Wilfred T. Grenfell (Revell; 3s. 6d. net), is a tale of what drink can do to make beasts of men, and what the Gospel can do to make them men again. There is no page of dulness in it, there are some pages of fierce excitement.

The Bishop of Southwark has published two volumes of sermons in one month. Some of us cannot get a volume published all our life. One volume has been mentioned already. The other is, Some Aspects of Christian Truth (Rivingtons; 6s. net). It is a volume of sermons, not of essays nor of articles. One of the texts is, 'For Christ sent me, not to baptize, but to preach the gospel : not with wisdom of words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made of none effect.' That text is also the motto of the book. One sermon stands a little apart. It is on Preparation for the Ministry. Its text is, 'I went away into Arabia' (Gal 117). But it stands apart only in its occasion. The Cross is still the centre, and there is no wisdom of words.

The Rev. R. H. Taylor, D.D., Rector of Goddington, has published An Exposition of Morning and Evening Prayer, which he has abridged from Thomas Comber's Companion to the Temple' (Elliot Stock; 4s. 6d.). Was it worth his while? It was well worth his while, both for Thomas Comber's sake and for ours. Why should we lose sight of so stout a Protestant and so godly a Churchman? Why should we miss the good to be got from a patient, penitent study of one of the most truly devotional expositions of the Prayer Book ever written?

Mr. Elliot Stock has also published a new edition of an anonymous book which bears the title of The Great Problem (3s. 6d. net). The Great Problem is the purpose of God in creating man and in leaving him free to do evil. The new edition not only sets the problem, but solves it.

From the Sunday School Union come two new volumes of the 'Endeavour Library' (2s. each). The one contains seven stories of domestic life in Palestine, taking its title from the first, The Story of Fatmah. It is written by M. Jennie Street and Sorella. The other is called The Land of the Pigtail. It is written by Mrs. Bryson of Tientsin. Its sketches of that land of topsy-turvy are for the entertainment of British children, and they are made more entertaining by the pen-and-ink sketches scattered through the pages.
