Mr. Sheppard, the energetic Vicar of St. blartin-in-the-Fields, ha.s transformed

his parish magazine into a Monthly Review (6d. net), the January issue of which is a spirited and enter- taining production. General Maurice writes on the League of Nations and the reduction of armaments, Dr. Lyttolton on books, and Mr. J. H. Shakespeare on Church Reunion from the Baptist standpoint. The circulation of parish magazines would go up by leaps and bounds if they wore- as attractive as this promises to be.
