CURRENT LITERATURE.

Sunday Talk. Edited by W. W. Tulloch, B.D. (Nisbet and Co.) —This is the first number of a new series, and gives good promise of usefulness. There is a considerable variety of articles which should suit the purpose of the publication, the supplying Sunday reading and Sunday conversation, this suitability being determined by a not too rigid rule. Mrs. Marshall contributes the first part of a story, and no one knows better how to produce fiction of the kind required. "Scraps of Travel" (between Ismailia and Cairo) and "Communion Memories in Scotland" are among the more noticeable articles, and there is an appreciative tribute to Principal Talloch.
