FATHER LE MENANTS WORK

NEW AND ENLARGED EDITION

A new edition of Father Le Menant's work, ' The Church and the World,' is now before the public. It has been re\ised throughout, enlarged by the addition of a useful chapter on the drirt.»" problem and by a good deal of other matter scattered here and there throughout the body of the work. It is also printed on heavier paper, and in substance, size, type, binding (scarlet cloth, gold lettered), and general get-up and appearance, it is a decided improvement upon the first edition, while the price remains the same. It now runs into xi.i-360 pages. dejrny octavo. 'It is,' says Cardinal Moran, ' a golden mine of accurate information on the religious questions that are disjussod at the present day.' High encomiums of a similar kind have been paid to the worß by the Archbishop of Wellington, the Coadjutor-ArchJbishop of Sydney, and the Bishops of Christchurch a nd Goulburn. In its new, revised, and enlarged form ' The Church and the World ' sets out upon a career of increased usefulness. It furnishes the C a tholic reader with what is, in effect, ai cyclopaedia of read/ reference on the subjects of discussion that are cropping up day by day in shops, factories, public Departments, and other places where people of different faiths are sphered together for work or recreation. As such, it sßould occupy- an honorable place upon the booVshelf in every Catholic house. Thus far— although the book has been on the market for little over a week — it has met with a demand wlrch is distinctly encouraginc, over a hundred copies that first came off the machines ha\ing been sent to nil a single urgent order from New South Wales. We heartily commmi the work of the learned Vicar-General of Christchun h to every reader of the 1 N.Z. Tablet.' The new edition is one of the handsomest samples of book-work that ha^e yet been sentout from the offices of this paper.
