George. Miller (of Bristol). By Ai ur T. Pierson, D.D. (James Nisbet and Co. 6a.)—Dr. Pierson give an account of the remarkable personality of the founder of the Bi itol Orphanage. He brings out with many interesting details the absolute thoroughness with which Mr. Miller carried out his principle of not advertising his work, or in any way making his wants known. He thought any such proceeding an act of faithlessness, and avoided it as he would have avoided apostasy. The result that followed is one of the most extraordinary things to be found in religious history. Some years ago aneminent agnostic challenged believers in prayer to test its efficacy in a selected ward of a hospital. A counter challenge might be made to try such an experiment as Miller's without faith.
