SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.

[Notiss Si this column don not neosssorily ys•aIud. subssgtrntreoiots.]

The British and Foreign Bible Society (146 Queen Victoria Street, E.C.) are issuing every convenient series of Testaments for the benefit of wounded soldiers. The little books, which are almost all of them of a size for the pocket, are bound in khaki and marked with a red crepe. Perhaps even more attractive than the complete Testaments are the tiny volumes containing each one Gospel. The whole series is being dis- tributed free by the British and Foreign Bible Society, who are approaching officers in charge of all British hospitals— emergency as well as permanent—and offering to supply as many copies as are wanted. The scheme is excellent, and those in charge of V.A.D. and auxiliary hospitals will welcome the gift for those of their patients unprovided with Testaments. The books are to be issued to the wounded both of our own forces and those of the Allies, and prisoners of war will also be given them.
