Stories and Episodes of Home-Mission Work (Wells Gardner and Barton),
is put forth by the Society for Promoting the Employ- ment of Additional Curates. As both the Archbishops and several of the Bishops write to commend this book, it does not seem to need other patronage. It is divided all the way through into paragraphs, each containing some fact or anecdote illustrative of the need of Christian instruction which exists, chiefly, perhaps, in our great cities, but also in our rural districts. The stories told are, many of them, very striking, and some amusing oven in their pathos ; but too long to quote. Their perusal will be very good for the leisurely rich, if any such are left in these bustling times. With regard to the statistics which strike one as so awful in their tale of neglect, we have been unable to discover whether the work of other Christian Churches is ignored.
