My S071, Give Me Thine Heart (Macmillan and Co.), is
the title chosen by the Master of the Temple for a small collection of sermons, preached before the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge in the years 1876-78. Though, of course, intended for those on the threshold of their working life, there is much of interest, we need hardly say, in this book for these of riper years. The second one, entitled, "A Narrow Place and No Turning," referring to that curious moment in Balsam's life when he was in that position, will appeal powerfully to their deeper experience. But when an elderly aunt or uncle bas reaped some benefit from it himself, he could not do better than present the volume to the first nephew or niece whom he wishes to honour with a gift, for these sermons are not of a sort likely to he shelved without reading, as the gifts of elderly relatives so often are, even by affectionate and grateful young people.
