THREE RELIGIOUS PAMPHLETS.—Death and Here after. By 11. Lowther Clarke,
D.D. What Mean Ye by These Stones? By J. M. C. Crum, M.A. A Religion for Monday Morning. By K. E. Maclean, B.A. (S.P.C.K. ls.). These little booklets belong to " The Churchman's Popular Library," and are presumably written for adults, though their standard of thought is more fitted for the intelligent child of fifteen. Mr. Crum's, an introduction to the reading of the Old Testameat, has the best work in it ; the former Archbishop of Melbourne has some sensible teaching on Death and the Hereafter, though two misprints (pp. 38 and 103) occur, and we doubt the wisdom, at this time of day, of taking for granted the traditional authorships of the Fourth Gospel and 2 Peter. We dislike the boisterous style of Mr. Maclean ; " do remember it, write it down and jump on it . • . that religion is not feeling" ; the• emotions have their place ; or this of Christ ; " the man to whom the kiddies in the street would call out, ' Hallo, Jesus!". Reverence has its place, too. But he means well.
