A Charge to the Clergy of the Diocese and Province
of Calcutta. By the Bishop of Calcutta. (Macmillan and Co.)—Dr. Cotton's views are marked by great moderation and considerable practical good sense, especially where he treats of the difficulties of the clergy in Bengal. But when he deals with the questions which are now agitating the Church of England his suggestions are quite inadequate. It is very well to recommend people not to attempt to define the limits between the human and divine elements in Scripture, but as a matter of fact they will do it, or attempt to do it, and are doing it every day. The discus- sion may lead to no definite result, like that of the Nestorians and Eutychians as to the limits of the divine and human elements in the nature of Christ, but once commenced it must inevitably be argued out.
