The Sunday at Home. (Religious Tract Sooiety.)—The bio- graphical chapters

are up to the usual standard in the Sunday at Home, and include some twenty-five names. There are three good. serial stories as well by Agnes Giberne, Crona Temple, and Leslie Keith, and also a number of shorter tales. The articles on "Samoan Life," "China, Past and Present," "Early Irish Litera- ture," and "The Dragonnades of France and Scotland," are aura to prove interesting to general readers. The religious and mis- sionary chapters are, of course, excellent. They include "Recent Discoveries in the Christian Faith," "Missions and Missionaries," "The Battahs of Sumatra," "Family Sermons," and other mis- cellaneous and various literature which form the specialty of the Sunday at Home.
