A New Series Few questions concern our life more deeply,

or more successfully defy solution, than those which surround the problem of suffering. We hope, therefore, that there will be many interested readers of the series of articles dealing with this mysterious fact, which we shall begin to publish on August 20th. The first will be written by Professor McFadyen, the well-known Biblical scholar, and will deal with the Problem of Suffering in the Old Testament. He will be followed by Mr. Douglas Fawcett, author of The Zermatt Dialogues, who will attack the subject from the philosophic angle. The Rev. and Hon. E. Lyttelton will discuss the moral value of suffering ; and Mr. E. I. Watkin, author of A Philosophy of Mysticism, will sketch the Christian solution as seen in the lives of the Saints.
