The Ordinances of Spiritual Worship. By the Rev. E. T.

March Phillips, M.A., late Rector of Hathern. Edited by his Daughter. (Long,mans).—This is a selection, consisting partly of essays and partly of sermons, from such of the writings of Mr. Phillips as bear upon the subject of spiritual worship. Their principal characteristic appears to be a deep tone of personal piety ; and they exhibit, for the most part, a breadth of view which is very creditable to their author. It is to be observed that Mr. Phillips uses the word " spiritual" in a somewhat narrow sense, not as the opposite to "material," but as signifying "that which belongs to, proceeds from, and accords with the Holy Spirit Himself."
