The annual volume of The Expository Times, Edited by James

Hastings, D.D. (T. and T. Clark, Is. 6d.), is, as usual, full of excellent matter. There is, in the first place, the editor's summary of the work of the month in the direction of theological discussion and criticism. Then follows an unfailing variety of instructive papers. The general tendency of the whole towards breadth and liberality is unmistakable. We do not find our- selves invariably in agreement with the writers, but it is always possible to regard what they say with sympathy. We rank this periodical along with the Expositor as forces working for good in the province of Christian knowledge. We hope that the Anglican Communion is not going to be left behind.
