The Sunday Magazine. (Isbister and Co. Is. 6d.) — The serial, "Over
the Barriers," which runs through this year's volume is doubly interesting by reason of the author's wish to remain anony- mous till the last. The biography of Mr. Spurgeon is remarkable for the very large number of portraits of the great preacher. It is most interesting and instructive, dealing with people, places, and buildings, which are illustrated profusely, and having also repro- ductions of many of the cartoons which Mr. Spurg•eon's energy and popularity gave rise to. The monthly articles, "Men of the Month," a veritable portrait-gallery, and "How the World Goes Round," afford a contemporary outlook on persons and things of the moment. A series of articles on "Science and the Bible" are done in excellent taste. The miscellaneous articles cover, as usual, a wide field. Even the Sunday Magazine, we see, must have its competitions. It is full of varied reading of a very high quality.
