in this portrayal of the national character. It is not a book on missions, but its contents are an aid and a stimulus to missionary interest. It is liberally and finely illustrated with photographs which convey information in a vivid way. It will be interesting and valuable to anyone who takes an interest for any reason in the land or the life of the Chinese. Champions of Christianity. By SILAS FARMER, author of History of Detroit and Michigan, etc. 12mo, pp. 139. New York: Eaton & Mains. Cincinnati: Curts & Jennings. Price, cloth, 60 cents. The charge of unbelievers that "the churches are made up of women and children" is here refuted by Mr. Farmer. Christianity, on the other hand, has had its defenders among the greatest men of the centuries, in every walk of life. The successive chapters of the book treat of the champions of the faith in the "governmental world,” the “social and business world," the "artistic world," the "literary world," and the "scientific world." The peculiarity and value of the author's treatment are found in the fact that, instead of "a biographer's statement" being given, there are quoted "the very words of the mighty and noble of various nationalities, vocations, and pursuits, verified in each case by reference to volume and page, so that every quotation is like a citation in a legal brief." The faces of Faraday, Farragut, Sir Walter Raleigh, Milton, Scott, and Samuel F. B. Morse look out upon us from the book; the names of many more great men crowd its pages in such profusion that any enumeration is impossible. We cordially commend the work. From a Cloud of Witnesses. Three Hundred and Nine Tributes to the Bible. BY DAVIS WASGATT CLARK. Cincinnati: Curts & Jennings. New York: Eaton & Mains. 4x8. Pp. 219. Rubricated initials. Price, $1. Such is the greatness of the Bible that even the enemies of its vital doctrines are forced at times to praise it. Dr. Clark's Cloud of Witnesses includes some men from whom praise was most unexpected. His range of quotation is very wide, and enters every realm of modern literature, including the newspaper. The compilation is exceedingly valuable and suggestive. It shows at a glance how many brilliant thinkers have reflected on the Bible, and gives the substance of their thought in pithy sentences. In these noble tributes, culled from every available source, many will find expression of their profoundest sentiments concerning the word of life. A Castaway, and Other Addresses. By F. B. MEYER, author of Light on Life's Duties, etc. 12mo, pp. 127. New York: Fleming H. Revell Company. Price, cloth, 30 cents. For their quaint presentation of the truth, their incisive utterance, and their close adherence to the great themes of the Gospel, these addresses are to be strongly commended. Mr. Meyer is a man who has a burning message to the world, and is straitened to accomplish his mission. Notwithstanding his adherence to the Calvinistic faith, his words here included on the anointing and the fullness of the Holy Ghost, and on soul rest, are such as the generation needs. The addresses were delivered last winter in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, during Mr. Meyer's last brief visit to the American shores. INDEX.
