W. Spencer Walton. By George E. Weeks, M.A. (Marshall Brothers. 3s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Walton spent the early years of his life in commerce. In course of time he came under strong religious influences,—one of them that of Father Ignatius, an interesting detail in view of the theological school with which he associated himself. For some time lie laboured as a lay evangelist in England; later on he went to South Africa. There be remained from 188S to 1901, with the interval of a visit to England for the purpose of organising the work. A visit to the States and to England followed. After this he returned to South Africa for a time, and occupied the short remainder of his life in various fields of labour. He died August 27th, 1906, in his fifty-seventh year. Such men surely do much for their kind. Can any non-religious system replace them, especially in what they do for the degraded ?
