The Religious Condition of Christendom, edited by the Rev. J.

Murray Mitchell, M.A., LL.D. (Hodder and Stoughton), is .a volume containing "a Series of Papers Presented to the Seventh General Conference of the Evangelical Alliance, held in Basle, 1879." Many of these papers are interesting. From some opinions stated, of course, we should express a decided dissent ; but, on the whole, our impression would be that a decided advance in liberality and breadth of thought has been made since the day, which must now be fully thirty years ago, when the "Evangelical Alliance" first came into existence.
