CURRENT LITERATURE.
Thirty Sermons for Children, delivered in the Parish Church, Watton, Herts. By the Rev. George Litting, M.A., LL.B. (R. D. Dickinson.)—These are very simple and vigorous sermons which can hardly fail to impress the minds of children. Such a sermon, for instance, as "Pride and Humility" is most effective for its purpose. Mr. Litting, also, is very strong in choosing texts which strike the imagination. Bat now and then, we think, he pushes an image too far. For example, in the first sermon, the comparison between the Incarnation and a voluntary descent into a mine to save the lives of miners, is pushed to a point which raises more questions than it settles. But Mr. Litting is never doll, never even lifeless, and almost always eminently practical.
