The Little Bag of Gold. By F. Bayford Harrison. (Sunday

School Union.)—There is plenty of moral, if but little incident, in this story of a somewhat dull and slow boy's career. The bag of gold is found by the hero, and we trace its history and that of its finder through a not very remarkable series of events till the owner is found, and Oliver Marklove obtains some employment, and the story comes to an end. The Grimsdicks, each of whom fancies the other to be wealthy, are good characters ; and there is plenty of quiet humour displayed through the book, which how- ever hardly moves fast enough.
