CURRENT LITERATURE.
The Oxford Magazine, for February 27th. (Published for the Pro- prietors by E. Pickard Hall, M.A., and Horace Hart, Printers to the University.)—This is a very interesting number of the Oxford Maga- zine. It contains a notice of some remarkable lectures by Mr. Illingworth, on " Faith and Philosophy ;" of an interesting sermon by the President of Trinity (Dr. Percival)—suggested by Mr. Ruskin's recent cloud-lecture—on " Stability of Character ;" and also a moat interesting account of one of two -Oxford schemes for doing work for the poor in East London, which have just been started. One of these is to be more particularly in connection with the parochial organisation in East London ; the other, which pro- poses to raise a sum of £2,000 at once, and to get up also a fund of £400 a year, is to be more or less under the guidance of the Rev. S. A. Barnett, Vicar of St. Jude's, Whitechapel. The young Oxonians could hardly enter into a nobler kind of competition.
