Thoughts on the Epistles of Holy Week. By "A Mother."
(J. Masters and Co.) — These are a series of eight short a Idresses written by a mother for children between the ages of eight and fourteen. As Mr. Eyton says of them in the briefest of introductions, "The tone is healthy, and the stories are admirably adapted to illustrate the subjects and to sustain their interest." These stories include the legend of St. Christopher, and some account of St Elizabeth of Hungary and of St. Vincent de Paul. But besides anecdote, there is clear and definite Church teaching in the addresses, and the writer has not been afraid to touch upon subjects which are very often avoided in children's lessons. Any proceeds, we are told in the fly-leaf, that the book may realise, will be given to the Home of Compassion, 63 Sutherland Street, Pimlico.
