THE MODERNIST SERIES
"Sorrow, Sin, and Suffering.” By the Rev. T. F. Royds, B.D. London: Skefflngton and Son. (3s 6d net.), Messrs Skefflngton have been publishing a series of “ plain and straightforward books on the Modernist Outlook on Religion.” The above-named volume* is one of these. In it Mr Royds deals with a well-worn theme along conventional lines. It is very difficult indeed to say anything new upon pain and its meaning, yet the topic is continually coming xorward in controversy and in daily life. Why does God allow ? The strained nerves and the earnest grieving heart will always ask that. The author discusses the problem of pain as it comes before us in the Old Testament,_ and then as it appears in the New. Sin is discussed quite competently, and the conclusion reached that, in view_ of all the sorrow and all the palliatives offered, Christianity is the only hope. G. H. J.
