The House of God the Home of Man. By the
Rev. a E. Jelf. (Christian Knowledge Society.)—A few words from the preface will explain the stand-point of the writer of this book. He calls it "the work of one who is more than satisfied with the English Prayer-book, and intensely thankful to have been allowed a place and a ministry in the English Church." With an orderly division, not only into many chapters, but each chapter into many sections, the parallel indicated in the title is drawn out ; and great spiritual truths, the heritage of the whole Church of Christ, are here viewed in their relation to the parochial system of England. There are many excellent practical remarks on obvious yet often-forgotten duties which are well worth every one's attention, and the poetical quotations are particularly well chosen.
