Lectures in Beloit College and before the Theological Seminary in Hartford and New Brunswick, and the Union Theological Seminary, form the basis of many of these chapters which review in two volumes, the recent history of modern missions. The first takes up Asiatic development in the Taiping rebellion, the Indian mutiny, the religion of the Bab and the reform movement in Hindooism, with chapters on the development of Africa, and the emancipation in Latin-America. The second volume treats of modern conditions, the two

recent risings in China, North and South; Japan, the Armenian Massacres, the disappearance of Spanish power and the immigration of the Slav, with a closing chapter on the relations between missions and the current world movements.

ON THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. Sermons and addresses. By Herbert Edward Ryle. 273 pp. Indexed. 12mo. The Macmillan Co. The Bishop of Winchester has gathered in this volume addresses bearing in various ways on the position of the Church of England, its clergy, its members, and its rites, ceremonies and belief. The sermons are short. Expository, rather than controversial, ranging over phases, from a discourse on the Doctrine of the Trinity, to a sermon on an issue between the Roman and Protestant communions like the adoration of the Virgin, which carefully rehearses the arguments which have led the Church of England to omit worship either to the Virgin or Saints, though as Bishop Ryle says, "Our Church of England teaching may appear severe and unsympathetic."

OUTLINES OF THE SYNOPTIC RECORD. A summary of the narrative of the first three gospels in the light of modern criticism. By the Rev. Bernard Hugh Bosanquet and Reginald A. Wenham. 278 pp. Indexed. 12mo. Longmans, Green & Co.

The joint authors of this work, the first of whom is Vicar of Thames Ditton, have addressed themselves to the task of weaving into a continuous analysis the record contained in the three Synoptic Gospels, considered with reference to the common source of mingled tradition and the earlier records of Logia, from

which all three drew. The scanty knowledge as to the origin of these Gospels is summarized. This is followed by an analysis of their record on each of the subjects embraced from infancy to the Resurrection, John being used as a side light upon the more direct utterances of the Synoptics.

PILLARS OF THE TEMPLE. By Minot J. Savage, author of "Out of Nazareth," etc. 226 pp. 12mo. American Unitarian Association.

On them he had hoped some day to write sermons, but the hour had never come. Minot J. Savage, the Pastor of the Church of the Messiah, has made these subjects the text of an eloquent exposition of the Unitarian Creed.

SHORT HISTORY OF THE WESTMINSTER AsSEMBLY, A. By W. Beveridge. 165 pp. Indexed. 12mo. T. & T. Clark, London.

This history of the Westminster Assembly is prompted in part by the fresh attention drawn in Scotland to the creed it adopted by the decision of the House of Lords that it is not open to change. The notes deal with this issue, giv

ing the precise steps by which the creed was adopted in Scotland. The book is drawn from familiar sources and shows on every page the office for which it was prepared, a popular history and exposition of a religious assembly, suddenly made important by the decision of the House of Lords, which apparently renders it irrepealable for all time.

Philosophy

MEASURE OF A MAN, THE. By Charles Brodie Patterson, author of "Seeking the Kingdom," etc. 297 pp. 12mo. Funk & Wagnalls Co. A book of the new thought, discussing the "natural," the "rational," the "scientific" and the "spiritual" man, with a second part which endeavors to show that the teaching of the Gospels is a portion of this new theory. Practical suggestions at the close deal with the care which a "patient" should use "in selecting a healer." The work is the usual melange of a spiritual interpretation of nature, and a cabalistic attitude towards the influence of one person on another.

POVERTY. By Robert Hunter. 372 pp. Indexed. 12mo. The Macmillan Co.

Mr. Hunter reaches the conclusion "that in fairly prosperous times no less than 10,000,000 persons in the United States are underfed, underclothed and poorly housed." The record is an appalling one, and the first which deals unhesitatingly with American optimism on this subject.

WOMEN OF AMERICA, THE. By Elizabeth McCracken. 397 PP. 12mo. The Macmillan Co.

The author, in the autumn of 1902, traveled over the United States for "The Outlook" in order to write a series of articles on the conditions of American women.

"With a vote in Colorado," "In the Club," "College." "In letters," "In professions." "In teaching,' and at the end, "A mother." This receives the smallest space of any one of the subjects considered. Mrs. McCracken displays on every page the newspaper instinct which sees the trivial but interesting in connection with the larger subject, and the newspaper limitation of knowing nothing except the precise thing which she is then engaged in reporting, which she gives with great accuracy.
