SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.
[Under this Heading we notice such Books of the aisle es hays not been reserved for review in other forms.] Banners of the Christian Faith. By the Bishop of Stepney. (Wells Gardner, Darton, and Co. 3s. 6d.)—We welcome these discourses, most of them delivered in the course of the preacher's residence as a Canon of St. Paul's. They were spoken extempore, and, as the Bishop explains, were preserved by the reporters of two Church newspapers. They take us out of the region of con- troversy, but'not at all out of the region of religion. All the preacher's appeals are founded ultimately on the sanctions of Revelation. So much for the substance of the sermons; as for their form, they seem to retain what so often disappears from the printed text, the force of the living voice.
