The Lordship of Man in Nature : its Rights and its Obligations. A Sermon preached in the Church of St. Mary Magdalene, Stoke Bishop, by David Wright, 31.A., Vicar of Stoke Bishop, on Sunday, February 17th, 1884. (Published by the Bristol and Clifton Anti- Vivisection Society, 16 Royal Promenade.)—This is one of the most impressive sermons that we have read for a very long time. Though it is published, and very wisely published, by the Anti-Vivisection Society in Bristol, a very few lines of the sermon touch on that point at, all. It is a great deal more than a sermon against cruelty, scientific or otherwise ; it is a sermon on the true relation of man to the races below him, and treats that subject with a power and a simplicity, a depth and a reality worthy of the heartiest admiration. The Vicar of Stoke Bishop is a preacher who knows how to lift vexed questions out of the region of controversy, and to help us towards the solution of them, by placing them in a new and truer
light.
