late Canon Barnett. Edited by his Wife.

Canon Barnett is gratefully remembered, by all who ever net him in Whitechapel or at Westminster, for his abounding human sympathy and broad- mindedness, as well as for his constant effort to leave one corner at least of London better than he found it. His sermons are character- istic of the man. " Dives and Lazarus," for instance, which was preached in the Abbey in 1911, is the essential Barnett.
