Hymns on the Holy Communion. By Ada Cambridge. With a

preface truer, and more ineffable communion with the Father it is a Feast." The tone of the hymns is in harmony with these ideas and similes, and they will be valued by those who in a certain rapture realize at the altar that they "drink the chalice of Salvation," and in the words of the authoress, see the "Falling, falling stream of peace eternal, Washing out the old, old sin, at last

Telling that the gate of life is opened,—

That the awful power of death is past !"

The book is handsomely bound in antique fashion, with toned paper and a red border.
