time in the water talking to those who had come with him to the water's edge.'"

At the meeting at the Mansion House for securing a fitting memorial of this wise and great ruler, the Duke of Albany said:

"I am glad that this scheme is brought forward in a place and before an audience which imply that the memorial is, in the fullest sense of the word, a national one. For the desire to do honour to the late Primate is not confined to his own clergy, or even to his own Church, but is shared by the public in general -by all, I may say, who feel admiration for a high-minded dignitary, or respect for an indefatigable worker, or love for a good man. Archbishop Tait was all these; and English history, which records so many heroes of duty, can scarcely point to a purer instance of the single-mindedness which forgets self in great public objects, or of the conscientiousness which makes a man refuse, under any pressure of temptation or weariness, to do less than his utmost, or to be less than his best. ... . [It is well] to perpetuate the memory of an Archbishop whose aim it ever was to merge his personality in his office, who will be remembered, not so much for individual traits or marked

.

originality, as for the manner in which he identified himself with his exalted functions, so that the national ideal of an Archbishop of Canterbury is likely, for many a generation, to be unconsciously moulded on the character of Dr. Tait. . . . It was his effort to remain among conflicting schools of thought as the central exponent of the spiritual side of our national life; to represent, not any passing phase of opinion, but that tolerant and manly seriousness which lies at the root of our national greatness. We must be thankful that in England, amidst all our speculative differences of opinion, we have so little of that fierce. antagonism which rages in some other countries -that false opposition between reason and reverence-as though in this world of awful mysteries a spirit of arrogant irreverence were not the very maddest unreason. That we are spared such conflicts is largely due to such leaders as our late Primate. He has passed from our bodily sight. He has gone, to use his own words, to fuller light and larger liberty.' But we are met to-day to show that, though he is no longer visibly present with us, his spirit is felt in our midst powerfully, perhaps, than ever before.

met to show that England is not the less ready to honour her worthiest heroes, because it has never occurred to them to imagine that they have achieved any special claim to honour by doing what was no more than their duty."

An admirable biography of him has been written by his chaplain, Canon Benham, and his son-in-law, Dr. Davidson, Dean of Windsor, and now Bishop of Winchester; and Dean Vaughan wrote for his monument in Canterbury Cathedral this epitaph :

A GREAT ARCHBISHOP,

JUST, DISCERNING, DIGNIFIED, STATESMANLIKE,

WISE TO KNOW THE TIME AND RESOLUTE TO REDEEM IT.

HE HAD ONE AIM:

TO MAKE THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND MORE AND MORE

THE CHURCH OF THE PEOPLE:

DRAWING TOWARDS IT BOTH BY WORD AND GOOD EXAMPLE

"This is to a great extent a model of what an expository commentary should be. To exhibit the Old Testament in the light of the New, and to point out the spiritual and permanent truth under the type by which it was in that early age expressed, and through which it still shines, cannot fail to render a commentary extremely valuable."-Literary Churchman.

"It is even a better piece of work than his former volume on the Pastoral Epistles. It contains everything that the student can desire by way of introduction to the two Epistles, while for those who read with an eye to the manufacture of sermons, or for their own edification, the doctrinal and moral lessons are developed in a style redolent of books, yet singularly easy and unaffected. Points of interest abound.”—Saturday Review."

LIFE OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI. By PAUL SABATIER. Translated from the French. Now ready. New Edition. Gilt top. 9s. net.

"M. Paul Sabatier is one of those men of letters, unhappily rare in France, in whom ripe learning and fine critical sagacity are not divorced from a reasonable Christian faith. Trained in the 'Faculté de théologie Protestante de Paris,' he has grown into the most brilliant scholar of his Church. No commentary on the Didache, for instance, is more illuminating than the edition of that treasure-trove which he published in 1885. And now he has given us a 'Life of St. Francis,' which may stand on the same shelf with Villari's 'Life of Savonarola.'"-Expositor.

THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS. By HANDLEY C. G. MOULE, M.A., D.D., Principal of Ridley Hall, Cambridge. Crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d.

"The Principal of Ridley Hall possesses, in a marked degree, one of the chief qualifications-nay, the one chief qualification that is needed for an expositor of the Epistle to the Romans-the spiritual intensity which has realised somewhat of the individual struggle of the Christian life, and of the individual joy and strength which is received from the spirit. In his own words, the student of such an Epistle must be first, and with all else, a penitent'; in his hand the exposition becomes a plea for a true and noble individualism.' Mr. Moule's style is always clear, forcible, scholarlike. spiritual application reverent."-Guardian.
