Judas : a Dream. By the Rev. H. H. Dobney.

(Longmans.)—The writer supposes himself, after hearing a very fierce sermon about the guilt of Judas, and arguing the subject with a friend—the writer main- taining, the friend denyinz the possibility of salvation for the traitor— to dream a dream in which he sees bow that salvation is effected by the influence of a mother's love. The dream itself strikes us as somewhat feeble in execution ; the argument is better. It is quite right to try the question by its extreme case ; nor need we say that, unwilling as we should be to dogmatize on such a subject, Mr. Dobney's views, on the whole, command our sympathy.
