What with " Tithe Legislation," " Ancient and Modern Church
Organisation," "Tudor's Philosophy of Church Life," and other papers, there is so much controversial force and fire in the July number of the Church Quarterly Review as to suggest the desirability of its name being changed to the Church Militant Review. There is perhaps only one paper in it, an estimate of three religious (?) novels—" Caswell," " The New Antigone," and "Robert Elsmere "—which seems to be specially intended for lay- men, and even it reads like a sermon, although a well-written sermon, containing both sound morality and sound sense. This Quarterly, it must be allowed, testifies remarkably to the vigorous life and scholarship of the section of the Church of England which it represents. The able critic of the late Mr. Richard Tudor's " Philosophy of Church Life," however, should not again attempt to bring humour to the aid of his argumentation.
