A Plea for Holy Scripture By the Rev. Thomas Griffith,

A.M., Prebendary of St. Paul's. (Macmillan and Co.)—The author of this very able pamphlet shows conclusively that the Articles and Homilies teach that Holy Scripture contains the word of God concerning the sal- vation of man, amino more. "The sufficiency of Scripture is not asser- ted as to anything else but this." If any man needed to have his faith in the efficacy of free discussion restored, this controversy, we think, is admirably calculated to produce that result. First we had the pro- test against the extravagant theories of the Bibliolaters, then the still more extravagant expression of their terror,—at last we are coming to the moderate and reasonable conclusions of sensible men.
