CURRENT LITERATURE.
The Expositor (Hodder and Stoughton) is not less interesting than usual. Canon Farrar contributes the third of his papers on "The Reformers as Expositors," having Calvin this time for his subject. The writer's vivid style is never seen to better advantage than in an essay of this kind. The fourth of Dean Plumptre's papers OD "Ezekiel—an Ideal Biography," deals with the prophet's picture in chapter xvi. of the moral corruptions of his country. Dr. James Morrison's lucid and acute exposition of St. Paul's statement of the position of the Heathen as regards law ("As many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law," tic.) is well worth stay.. It is a pleasant surprise to have a hitherto unpublished sermon of T. T. Lynch, furnished by " Almoni Peloni." Its subject is "The Moral Aspects of the Mosaic Narrative of the Creation." It was written down from memory on returning from hearing the preacher. If we may judge from our recollections of Mr. Lynch, we should say that the style is too glowing, but that it represents his habit of thought. The other articles in the number are "The Earnest of the Spirit," by the Editor, and "A Dream," by "Carpus."
