"This Do :" Sire Essays in Practice. By R. F.
Horton, M.A. (J. Clarke and Co.)—A distinguished minister of the communion which Mr. Horton adorns, once complained to the writer of this notice that his people "did not like ethical teaching." This is, indeed, a failing in many congregations ; but there is not in all the same opportunity for displaying it. Mr, Horton's hearers are, it is clear, superior to it. Nothing could be more directly ethical and more plain-spoken in its teaching than the six discourses published in this little volume. "What a Christian has to do in Business, in Public Life, and at Home," is here discussed I further subjects are supplied by art and literature, and we have a final chapter on "The Christian and Amusement."—Something of the same practical character belongs to a volume of sermons, Christ and Society, by Donald Macleod, D.D. (Isbister and Co.) The earlier discourses deal with the difficulties of the relation between the Christian and the world as lie finds it.
