We should not be writing this little book at all when more agreeable vecupations invite us did we not believe that the people perish for lack of knowledge of sex; that it is ignorance, not science, which ougenders pruriene and communicates filthy-minded- ness; that for lack of a little instruction many are made miserable when they should be happy, may en ruined, in soul and in body. There is too much mist about the life-jouracy, from its origins and at its climax --- mists dark and nowholesome favouring errors of judgment and errors of epuduct; and of the ever-brightening lights of science there can be few hottor uses, than here and there to guide the wayfarer, even though they may not serve to clear all the mists away. Needless to say, the authors have succeeded most admirably in their task, and with a delicacy that crables us to recommend their little book to the perusal of all parents before placing it in the hands of their children.
While recognising the falling off in attend- ance at church, he maintains that the interest in religion, though not always in organised religion, has never been keener than it is to-day. "It shows itself in Philanthropy, directly inspired by zaligion, which is ceasing to patronise those whom it benefits. It shows itself also in the general recognition of the importance, ak a neces sary part of Christian life, of missions to the non-Christian world." It shows itself in a widespread interest in the psychology of religion, its bases and its phenomena, All those lines of thought have begun to draw Christians together, to make differences seom smaller than the common heritage.... If the destrings which have clustered round the explanations and. historic ministry are an obstacle to union, the fret of the succession which links the

If ever anyone endeavours to compile a new form of scriptures from the literaturo. of the Elizabethan, Victorian and Georgian ́writers, we suppose H, G. Wells will figure as one of the most prominent of the major prophets. His busy pen and fertile brain have certainly contributed largely in nor own time to stimulate the imagination of his fellow-mon; but whether he has let his own imagination run riot on this occasion will be more necetately judged by a future generation. In this novel, he returns to his earlier style. It is, indeed, a wonder-story. It is less than an imaginary history, a simplified, half-symbolica! history of the world for the next seventy or eighty years. Here he presents the great conillet between the ancient traditions of law and property and nationality, and the gigantic and altogether revolutionary possibilities of science that war grow to a head. In the

In two of his characters, King Egbert and King Fer- Uinand Charles, he gires all that is noblo and all that is base in the expiring traditions of kingship. With that power and vividness of which he is a master, Mr. Wills shows material knowledge growing swiftly to the bursting point, relates the incidente of
As Ruskin turned from the criticism of works of art to the criticism of society, se William Morris turned from the making of works of art to the effort to re-make Hociety,"
In this sentence, Mr. Cluttan Brock summarise the life of out who was a force in the artistic and political thought of Modern England. Born at Walthamstow on March 24th, 1834, the son of a well-to-do bill-broker, William Morris was educated at Marlborough and Exeter College, Oxford. He had an instinctive lore of Gothic architecture, and after he had taken his degree he was articled to George Edmundasomic bomb mentioned in the narrative be Street, one of the chief architects of the Gothic Revival and the designer of the Law Courte. Hore he met Phillip Webb, who is described as the chief. figure in the revival of architecture" in England; and it was also during those early days in London that Morris met Rossetti, who was then teaching Burne-Jones to paint. What Riskin taught, Rossetti did and mede others do; and, as Morris and Burne-Jones cared more for art than for anything else, be scomed to them a Messiah who could show them, and the world if it would listen, the way to salvation." It was this friendship with Rossetti that influenced Morris most powerfully, but whereas to Rossetti art was something in a frame into which you escaped from life, Morris wanted to turn all bfo into art and enjoyed the triumph of art most when it glorified things of use. It was this feeling which led him to found the firm of Morris & Co., made up of Rossetti, Madox Brows the painter, Burne-Jones, Phillip Webb, Faulkner, an oid College friend, and Peter Paul Marshall, a friend of Madox Brown and a sanitary engineer. The firm busied itself with mural decoration, carving, stained glass, metal work and furniture, and most things of domestic use, and ita influence may be seen in the art furnituro and decorations of the present day, oven in the printer's art, which received a much- needed impetus from this renaissance, Morria, was also a romantic-poet and wrote some very fino prose, and about the year 1877 was drawn into political life, the doctrines of cocialism appealing most forcibly, as we can readily understand, to his romantic and idealising nature.

By the Author of "The Adventures that some of Morris' ideals are still behind the socialistic movement as it exists in England. to-day; but we are astonished that Morris never had his eyes opened by the bickeringa and jealoustes of his cozialistic brethren to see that the best way to abolish the difference between the extrem ly wealthy and the extremely poor is first to extirpate those elements in human nature that can best be described as "original We are told that the first claim sin." he made for man was that they should have wark to do that was worth doing," and he exclaimed: "Think what a change that would make in the world i'*- It would, undoubtedly; but the experience of most of us is that there is being rapidly bred in England a large class which does not banger after work but which does want to enjoy luxurious ease at the expense of their fellow-beings. This little book is more concerned with the ideas of William Morris and his influence upon his fellow-men than the intimate relations of his life, and in this regard serves a useful purpose to the student of progress and the cultivation of artistic percoption...
It is unfortunate that this volume should appear contemporaneously with Mr. Wells' fine romance, for it is impossible to avoid comparisons. If the author possesed more might have knowledge of science, he produced a more coherent and a more con. sistent story; but, as it is, it fails to convince the reader because of its extreme improbability. He fails to see that if his principal character had possessed half the powers he attributes to them, they would never have had to encounter the hostility and dangerous onslaughts of those who Here again we make differed from them. acquaintance of the atomic bombs and extraordinary flying machines; and gigantic conflicts take place between the East and the West; and the Ethiopian changes his skin, and not only becomes white but puts huge on the Caucasian features; and meteorite hits the Earth somewhere about! the Euphrates and, as may be imagined, creates a great stir-to express it mildly; but we never get that atmosphere of prob- To the averaga Englishman of to-day ability which Mr. Wells creates, nor any Chaucer is a closed book-bis writings are thing like it.
