THEOLOOL—Text-Book for the Three Creeds. By the Rev- Septimus Buss.
(Rivingtons. 3s. 6d.).—This is a useful little manual, containing the information wanted on most points, but not, we think, unsusceptible of improvement. We should like to have seen the Nicene clause, "One Baptism for the Remission of Sins," explained. It is not profitable to quote passages from Scripture which refer to a different state of things. When baptism is administered in infancy, what sins are remitted through it ? It would have been well, too, not testate so crudely that "eternal" ia "everlasting."--From the same author and publisher we have received a Text-Book for the Church Catechism (Is. 48.) We can praise this more unreservedly, though the criticism on " everlasting " applies here also. Some serviceable ea/urination papers have been added.—In the "Quiet Hour Series" (Marshall Brothers) we have The Pattern Prayer-Book (le. net). Various expressions are taken .from St. Paul, record- ing the Apostle's experiences and practice of prayer, and expounded. The first chapter, for instance, takes the words. "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith" (Eph. iii. 17)' - '----Scene Tides of To-Day. By the Rev. Barry Jones. (Elliot 'Stock. 6d. net.)—This little volume contains six seasonable die- courses by a preacher whose name suffices to commend them to readers of the Spectator. Sound sense and good feeling, in- formed by a reasonable piety, are their characteristics.
