Short Readings for the Christian Year, Part L, Advent to
Easter, by E. W. Bodley (Skeffington), comes recommended by a preface from the Bishop of Tasmania. The writer's plan has been to take a short passage of Scripture, commonly from one of the lessons of the day, and give a few comments, simply expressed, with a special de- votional purpose. Each would take but a few minutes to road, and we can well imagine that they may be found very useful.—With , this wo may mention, though it is concerned with the exegesis and illustration of Scripture, rather than with any specially devo- tional purpose, Hours with the Bible. By Cunningham Geikie, D.D. " A third edition." (S. W. Partridge.)—The Gentle Heart, by Alexander Macleod, D.D. (Hodder and Stoughton), is a volume of simple instruction, illustrated with narratives from the writer's own pastoral experience, and specially addressed to the young. It is, in fact, described as " a second series " of " Talking to the Children."
—Following Christ : Short Meditations for Busy People (W. W. Gardner), is a devotional book adapted from the French.—With this may be mentioned the " third edition " of The Gospels Harmonised and Arranged in Short Readings, by the Rev. Edmund Fowl° (Rolfe Brothers) ; also The Cup of Consolation, or Brief Passages for the Sick.bed, by an Invalid, with an introduction by J. R. Maeda, D.D. (Hodder and Stoughton) ; and The Consolations of the Christian Seasons, Part I., Advent to Easter, by George Edward Jolf, M.A. (Walter Smith) ; Short Sermons, Addresses for Mothers' Meetings, &c., by Louisa Clayton (Religious Tract Society) ; and Seek and Find, a Double Series of Short Studies of the Benedicite, by Christina Cr.
