In this volume Prof. Beet aims to prove the truth of the Gospel. The arguments which he adduces in its favor are not specially new, ut they are admirably marshaled to do effective work. The Lecure which makes up the body of the work is divided into eight ections. Of these, section first is introductory. Sections second nd third treat, respectively, of the evidence within, and of the vidence in the material world. In section fourth Christianity is ompared with other religious, and its superiority is clearly demontrated. Section fifth is devoted to a consideration of Christ and the Christian document, and section sixth to a forcible presentation of he historical argument in their favor. In section seventh objecions are answered, and in the concluding section the results of the iscussion are summed up and their practical bearing pointed out. A number of valuable notes of considerable length are appended to he Lecture. These notes relate to the following subjects: The Origin of the Moral Sense, Freedom or Necessity, Scientific Agnosicism, The Bible and Science, and Biblical Rationalism. The work is one of decided merit and cannot be read without profit. Its cholarship is marked; its style, clear, forcible and eloquent. In he "Expositor" for August, 1890, Prof. Marcus Dods says of this work: "There is much that is freshly thought and admirably put hroughout the book; and however well read in apologetic literature any one is, he will find much to interest and much to convince in he chapters which deal with the resurrection and the miraculous. At this point Prof. Beet makes a distinct advance in the argument, nd deserves the thanks of all who are interested in the defence of Christianity."

It is scarcely necessary to say that all these subjec considered from the Arminian stand-point. Though we c accept as correct some of the views advanced, yet we can he recommend this volume by Bishop Foster as a highly intere and instructive treatise. The subject with which it has to do our opinion, a very important and fruitful one, and deserves far more thoroughly considered by theologians generally than yet been. Its complete study according to the inductive me we are convinced would do much to advance and unify the the of the Christian Church.

CHRISTIAN MISSIONS IN THE NIneteenth CentURY. By Rev. Elbert S. Todd, D.D. New York: Hunt & Eaton. Cincinnati: Cranston & Stowe. 1890. Price, 75 cents.

We have in this small volume not a condensed history of modern nissions, nor yet a general discussion of missionary work, as might be inferred from its title, but merely a brief treatise on some phases of this many-sided theme which seem to have been neglected. The ubjects to which attention is directed in its pages are as follows: The Conversion of our Anglo-Saxon Ancestors," "The Missionary Triumphs of Paganism," "Christianity an Oriental Religion," ""Characteristics of Ethnic Religions," "The Solidarity of Humanity," War and the Progress of Christianity," "Commerce and Christianity," "The Humanitarian View," "Statesmanship and Missions," Methods," and "Success." All these subjects are treated in an ble and instructive manner. An effort is made in the treatise to suggest some of the most obvious lessons which the experience of the past furnishes concerning the question of methods of carrying Forward the missionary work.

BY CANOE AND DOG-TRAIN AMONG THE CREE AND SALTEAUX INDIANS. By Egerton Ryerson Young (Missionary). With an Introduction by Mark Guy Pearse. New York: Hunt & Eaton. Cincinnati: Cranston & Stowe. 1890. Price, $1.25.

This book gives an account of missionary labors amoug the Indians in the Northwest Territories north of Lake Winnipeg. It is written in a plain yet attractive style, and abounds in interesting incidents. The simple facts which it presents can scarcely fail to awaken a deep interest in missionary work among the Indians, and on this account it ought to have a wide circulation. It is a shame that up to this time so much money has been spent to subjugate and destroy the red man, and so little been given to Christianize

and save him.

ESCHATOLOGY; or, the Doctrine of the Last Things, According to the Chronology and Symbolism of the Apocalypse. By F. G. Hibbard, D.D., Author of the "Psalms Chronologically Arranged with Historical Introductions," "The History and Geography of Palestine,' ""The Commentary on the Book of Psalms," etc. New York: Hunt & Eaton. Cincinnati: Cranston & Stowe. 1890. Price, $1.25.

Dr. Hibbard not only believes that Eschatology is a legitimate and indispensable branch of theology, but, also, that it must supply he true gauge and moral value of all doctrines relating to moral government and redemption. He furthermore holds that all its paricular subjects are purely matters of written revelation, leaving nothing to mere speculation, and that, therefore, all our knowledge of them is, and must be, purely exegetical. In the volume before 18 he consequently treats of these things according to what he con

ceives to be the chronology and symbolism of the Apocalypse. subjects which chiefly claim his attention are the following, to The downfall of Anti-Christ, the millennium, the second comi Christ, the intermediate state, the resurrection, the new crea and the restitution of all things. His discussion of all these t is scholarly and highly suggestive, but we are not prepared t cept his conclusions on all points. A satisfactory exposition of Book of Revelation is still a desidera tum.
