Sermons for Empire Day. By Canon Ivens and others. (Skeffington

and Son. 2s. net.)—This volume should be useful. Preachers may at least base their discourse on one or other of the seven sermons to be found in it; or it may supply a need if the preacher is indifferent or hostile. Canon Ivens furnishes three discourses, one for men, another for women, a third for lads ; three more are contributed by the Revs. V. R. Lennard, J. A. Craigie, and R. G. St. John Dell. In an appendix we have an admirable sermon by the Bev. J. H. Skrine, noticed some little time ago in these columns, "The English Child's Crusade."
