e ■ j We understand the J outh British Tea Conv e pany's pure teas have been introduced into i) this district. They are free from any excess e> of astringeucy- — [Advi.] r Countess, Duchess, Prinoess, Empress, ara . the registered names of thd new teas. Freo y from any excess of aatrinoßnoy. — TAdtt-T i Mr Hall Caine, reviewing " The Light of 1 the World" in tha IHustiated London News 1 observes : " Not to speik in paradox, I find 8 many ideas in Sir Edwin Arnold's book, but e no idea ; many thoughts finely expressed, 1 many scenes bonutifully described, much 7 colour that is various r.nd brilliant, and an j atmosphere that is fresh and stimulating, buh i no fundamentel conception, no central aim. ? As I turn page after page, s?eine much to nd- ' miro, I ask myself, Wherefore ? And when I ° havo finished the book, feeling grateful for a 1 theme thnt lifts me abovo common thingß, ii I still ask myself, why ? If any man has a ■ new word to say on the mission of the Prophet i of Galileo, he may by all moans let us hear it. . If he bas found a frnsb interpretation of the 1 character of Jesus, it hao become his duty to • expound it. Sir Edwin would be the last to J affirm that he has anything new to say about J the mission of Jesus. What ho gives us is a 8 very simple thing. It is the Gospel of 8t ' John without its doctrine of redemption. I r do not see whom this i« to satisfy — what; sect, ' what jult, what individual thinker."
