CURRENT LITERATURE.

The Story of James Gilmour and the Mongol Mission. By Mrs. Bryson, of Tientsin. (Religious Tract Society.)—This is a subject which well deserves inclusion in a "Splendid Lives'" Series. Few men have done more remarkable work or exhibited a more striking personality than did James Gilmour. The brief narrative is told by one who knew him and who has worked, in a way, in the same field. Not the least interesting part of the book is to be found in some personal details which the writer is able to give us, and which bring out, even more strongly than before, Mr. Gilmour's unselfish devotion to all good things.
