The Beatitudes. By E. C. Dermer, D.D. (B. H. Blackwell,

Oxford.)—These "Studies for Lent "—sermonettes, we may call them, if the author will excuse the unceremonious word—may be commended to readers. The preacher speaks plainly, simply, affectionately. No one can read these brief discourses (some eight pages long on an average) without profit.
