SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.
[Under this heading we notice such Books of the week as have net has reserved for review in other Jones.] A Charge. By Frederic Henry Chase, D.D., Bishop of Ely. (Macmillan and Co. 2s. net.)—This, the Primary Charge of the Bishop of Ely-, touches upon most of the questions now being discussed. The revision of the Prayer-book is strongly recom- mended; the obligation to Fasting Communion is condemned; a relaxation in the rule as to the number of communicants is suggested,—it would certainly be hard that some one who has made a great effort to attend should lose the opportunity because the requisite three are not present; some common instances of neglected rubrics are mentioned, as the scandalous omission in many Evangelical churches of Saints' Days; reservation of the elements and the use of incense are forbidden. Altogether, the Charge will be found a moderate and sensible statement.
