Essays Theological and Literary. By Charles Carroll Everett, D.D. (Houghton

and Main. 7s. net.)—We cannot follow Dr. Everett into his discussions on theological, ethical, and literary subjects. The theological essays are to us specially interesting, beeause they give in a concrete form that somewhat elusive thing, undenominational theology. Dr. Everett is, by common consent, a great exponent of such theology. What sort of equip- me=t would a student who had successfully assimilated his teach- ing bring to the practical work of a preacher and pastor ? We should rezemmend our readers to study Essays II. and III., "The Historic and the Ideal Christ" and " The Distinctive Mark of Christianity," with special care from this point of view. But wherever he may turn in this volume he will find something valuable and suggestive.
