Reunion and Rome. By the Rev. Percy Dearmer. (A. R.

Mowbray and Co. ls. and is. 6d. net.)—Mr. Dearmer is more hopeful about the Eastern Churches than about Rome. But we mint remember that Eastern theologians are most emphatic in their repudiation of Anglican Orders, however civil they may be to individual Anglican priests. We do not wish to do anything that might discourage efforts after unity ; but it is our conviction that any movement which should bring us nearer to Rome and the East, and take us further from the great non-episcopal bodies, would be a disaster. Let us unite in the common service of humanity and be content to differ in discipline and dogma.
