Holy Orders. By the Rev. A. R. Whitham. (Longmans and
Co. 5s.)—This is a volume of the "Oxford Library of Practical Theology," written with great ability, and marking with precision the theological standpoint of the writer and of the school which he represents. The positions which he has held and holds—he was Vice-Principal of a Theological College, and is now Principal of a Training College—give a certain importance to his statements. We may gather from them what the clergy and school-teachers of the future are meant to be. We shall not be doing Mr. Whitham any wrong if we say that his constant effort is to minimise the Reformation changes. He would not, we imagine, deny this himself. The less the change the easier to prove the continuity. It is impossible here, however, to go into any detailed examination of the questions involved.
