    readers one or two contributions of more than ordinary importance . f Of these we may single out Mr .

    "W Walter alter 13 Besant esant ' s s The The bcience Science ot of Recreation Kecreation , ' Mr Mr .. j £ ' . D ~ . Traill ' spolitical article , entitled * The Deluge at Last ; ' Mr . Andrew Lang ' s ' The End of Phseacia /

    Number 27 of the New Biographical Series ( Religious Tract Society ) consists of a memoir of Charles Wesley .

    A voice from the grave speaks in ' The Opening of the New Year ' ( by the late Dean of Chester ) , a touching exhortation which appears in The Quiver

    ( Cassell & Co . ) for January . The earnest words of Dean Howson cannot fail to be more impressive when it is remembered how recently he was removed

    from our midst . In the same magazine we observe a sketch by the Rev . Professor Blaikie , D . D ., describing * How some Fishermen Built their Houses , '

    the gist of which is a narration of the manner in which some fishermen in a village on the Firth of Forth bought their houses through the adoption of

    temperance principles . * Two Famous London Churches ' is ah illustrated article by W . Maurice Adams , F . A . S . describing the interesting features

    ' , cj ctj of St . Margaret ' s ( Westminster ) and St . James ' s ( Piccadilly ) , the former being the church of the House of Commons . Dr . Peace , the celebrated

    organist of Glasgow Cathedral , contributes a new and thoroughly devotional tune for Bishop Ileber ' s hymn , ' The Son of God goes forth to War / An '

    instalment of * The Conquests of Peace ' takes up the story of William Penn . The other contributions , in story and instruction , are of that pure and

    elevating character which have founded and maintained the success of the Quiver . The January part of The Sunday at Home

    «/ K " ( Religious Tract Society ) begins a new volume , and an ample supply of good things is promised for the year m / 1886 - - . The new stories - now begu rjn are

    * JEunice , ' by the author of ' Christie Redfern '; and } Mod « Mhti ern e , ' Jews by P ' by A the . Bly Rev th . . H * . The C . Adams History , of of which the ;

    , two instalments are given , promises to be an important attraction . * God ' s Government of the World , ' an impressive address by the Lord Bishop

    of London , strongly supports the purpose of the magazine , as likewise does * A Visit to the Holy Caves of Cashmere , ' by the Rev . , T . H . Knowles ,

    M . A . The subject of ' New and Altered Proverbs ' is selected by the Rev . S . G . Green , in order to show a new study of the Revised Version of the Scriptures .

    'Bartholomew ' s , ' by W . J . Gordon , contains some graphic pictures of bits of old London , and of the I famous hospital in particular . The illustrations

    are fully equal to those of former volumes . A new volume of The Leisure Hour ( Religious
