THE HEREAFTER AND TIIE UNDYING HOPE. By the Rev. Robert
II. Murray. (Cambridge : Heifer. 4s. 6l.)-- Many thoughtful people will be glad to know of Mr. Murray's little book on intimations of immortality. That the soul survives the death of the body is a fundamental belief which is older than Christianity and by no means confined to Christians. Mr. Murray illustrates the belief in an attractive fashion by reference not only to the Bible and the poets but also to men of science and others without the orthodox pale. In his chapter on " The Evidence for Survival " he reminds us that so stalwart a Protestant as Hugh Latimer commended pra3-ers for the departed, and that John Wesley was among many
later Churchmen who did the same. But Mr. Murray is in no sense a controversialist. His object is to comfort the sorrowful with the hope, shared by the best men and women in all ages, of reunion hereafter.
