The Orient: or, St. Saviour's Priory Quarterly Papers. April, 1884. (G. J. Palmer, 32 Little Queen Street ; M. C. Geater, 221 Ebury Street.)—This little quarterly will be of the greatest interest to all those who are attempting to civilise the neglected districts of our great cities. It gives a minute account of the different works carried on at St. Saviour's Priory, Haggerston, in East London, by a branoh house of St. Margaret's, East Grinstead,—a branch house, but, nevertheless, dependent entirely on its own friends for funds and support. Thus, there is, besides the establishment of sisters in Haggerston, a mothers' rest near Reading, where women,—generally mothers with their babies,—are received when in need of rest; an institution for young girls, called the Girls of the Good Shepherd ; a girls' home of rest at Herne Bay ; and a place of the same kind at Brighton for men and boys,—all subsidiary to the Haggerston mission. Details about all these Christian endeavours to civilise East London will be found in this interesting little twopenny quarterly, which we strongly recommend to those employed in such work. This number contains also some rather good hexameters in Clough's manner, called "A Bitter Cry from Outcast London."
