Sernurns on Some Words of St. Paul. By H. P.
Liddon, D.D. (Long- view; and Co.)—Dr. Liddon's rank as a preacher is so well estab- lished that little more than a record of the appearance of another volume of his sermons is needed. Here we have nineteen sermons, of the length on which Dr. Liddon could always venture without wearying his hearers, preached at various times during the years 1869-90. Now and then we find a statement which the preacher would hardly have used at a later period. A Professor of Exegesis mould hardly now venture on the assertion that St. Mark's Gospel is later in date than St. Matthew's. Generally, however, they deal with topics which do not admit of reconsideration of opinions, i.e., the great spiritual verities. We may specially mention the two discourses on "The Law was our Schoolmaster to bring us to Christ," under the titles of "The Tutorial Office of the Jewish Law" and "Justifying Faith," "The Trial of Work" and "Contentment." Everywhere the reader will find clearly reasoned argument, richly illustrated and eloquently expressed.
