John Hunter, D.D. By Leslie Stannard Hunter. (Hodder and Stoughton.
12s. 6d. net.)—The late Dr. Hunter, who died in 1917 at the age of sixty-nine, was a talented preacher and writer who, at Trinity Church, in Glasgow, between 1887 and 1901, and again between 1904 and 1911, occupied much the same position as Dr. Joseph Parker held for many years at the City Temple. His eloquence and- his sincerity attracted many hearers who were not Congregationalists. This interesting and carefully written memoir, by his younger son, will recall Dr. Hunter to those who knew him and will give a fair idea of his character to those who did not. Dr. Hunter was a native of Aberdeen, but he was trained for the ministry in the Midlands, and worked for many years at York and at Hull before he found his true vocation in Glasgow. His brief term at the King's Weigh House Church from 1901 to 1904 was not happy, for various reasons which the biographer indicates.
