A second edition, we see, of Vital Religion; or, The

Personal Knowledge of Christ, by G. H. S. Walpole, D.D. (Elliot Stock, 2s. 6d. net), has been called for. The book is of that devotional character which puts it beyond the province of literary criticism. If we think such a book has been drawn from suspected sources or is extravagant in tone, we should feel at liberty to say so. Otherwise we must be content with a general notice, adding, in this instance, that we see no reason to question the verdict of approval which the demand for a second edition implies. This volume belongs to the series of "The Church's Outlook for the Twentieth Century," appearing tinder the general editorship of Dr. J. H. Burn.
