REVIEWS.
Moffatt's New Testament —6/-; advertised in this issue by Mr. French a specially beautiful translation of the New Testament. It gives the meaning in clear, plain, dignified English, the English spoken every day by ordinary educated people. It is not colloquial English, nor is there any approach to slang or vulgarity. It makes clear many passages before obscure, yet maintains the beauty and stateliness of the authorised version.
“The Attic Guest”—2/6; a charming story of a young Scottish clergyman, who goes t( the Southern States of I’.S.A. ana 'here finds a bride. The pegro probk *n figures in the earlier pages. They go to a Canadian Church and the home and Church life of the minister and his family are beautifully portrayed. Its characters are well drawn and we can recommend It to any mother who wishes a gift book for her own young people or for a friend. Both books are obtainable at Mr. French’s, Hastings, and we hope our readers will deal with our advertisers.
