The Keswick Convention. Edited by Charles F. Harford, (Marshall Brothers. 3s. (id. net.)—The "Keswick Convention" 4ates back to the year 1875, its object being defined as the
Promotion of Practical Holiness." Perhaps the most easily intelligible description of it is ono that we find in the editor's introductory chapter, "A Mission to Christians." Its message is not to those who have yet to be convinced of the truth of Christianity and its power to deliver the human soul, but to the convinced Christian who yet finds obstacles in his way and is disappointed when he comes to estimate the results which his faith has reached. Actually it represents, it may be said, what is called the Evangelical school ; but it draws no lines of distinction, and it is highly interesting to note its approximation to other modes of thought. The subject is not one which can be treated here in detail; but we commend the volume to the attention of our readers.
