Christ the Truth : an Essay Towards the Organisation of
Christian Thinking. By the Rev. William Medley, M.A., of Rawdon College. (Macmillan and Co. 6s.)—The aim of these lectures, delivered at the Regent's Park Baptist College under the conditions of the Angus Trust, is to show how belief in the truths of Christianity is not a mental possession to be kept in a separate department of life, but a method of apprehending spiritually all knowledge and all aspects of the everyday life of . the world as well as the things supposed to belong especially to religion. Mr. Medley applies the principles of ordinary logic to the philosophy of the Infinite and of man's relation to it, and shows how far these principles help us, and at what point they fail us. Some of the illustrations are apt and vivid, and may help some readers to regulate their thinking. But, on the whole, we should be inclined to class the book as among those that convince only those who are convinced already. It is, apparently, directed especially at people suffering from confusion of thought, of all intellectual disorders the most difficult to cure.
