Simple Sermon
THE Rev. W. H. Elliot, vicar of St. Michael s, Chester Square, London, is well known through his earlier books, "Religion in Plain Clothes" and "Man to Man." Now, under the title "If 1 were You," Messrs. Nicholson and Watson have published a collection of his little essays from the "Sunday Pictorial." Mr. Elliott has an informal, even colloquial style; each chapter consists of a few paragraphs, more or less disjointed, suggested by some topical subject, something the author has been rt-adinsj, or something that lias just been said to him. The subject is introduced and dealt with in such a way that one fee,ls that an actual conversation is takniu place. There is nothing very profound or original about these est-avs. but tliev are written in a plea-ing.- simple and friendly fashion which makes them extremely easy to read: and they show their author to have some knowledge .if the world and its problems, a. n><l deal of common sense, and a kimiU and tolerant attitude to mankind.
