SIR OLIVER LODGE'S CATECHISM.

The Substance of Faith. By Sir Oliver Lodge. (Methuen and Co. 2s. net.)—When Sir Oliver Lodge's Catechism was first published in the newspapers, our readers may remember that we commented upon it at length. Now that it has been republished in book form we can but repeat our thanks and congratulations to Sir Oliver Lodge. His book, we are sure, will be a source of happiness and consolation to many who, confused by the new discoveries of history and of science, have become shaken in their religions faith. The short chapter of explanation which Sir Oliver Lodge has appended to each clause of his Catechism should be of great value to all teachers of religion, especially to such as are desirous to learn more than they will ever be able to teach to children.
