4FJORD, ISLE, AND TOR."
A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN
NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL,
AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS.
BY EDWARD _SPENDER."
PRICE 38.

" It is a straightforwardly and sometimes gracefully written
Sketch of Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, from the
holiday traveller's point of view, not, however, exclusively
devoted to matters of scenery or itinerary, but designed to give
the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs,
industries, and institutions of the districts he is exploring. Fm
intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spender's book will
be welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advantage of com-
pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness of bulk."—
Daily Telegraph.
" The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap
and contains in a.small space a great quantity of very interesting
matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be
useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to
those who stay at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a
most industrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent
and graphic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."—
Yorkshire Post.
"It deserves a welcome, this book we have so long uncon-
sciously been in search of. The itineraries themselves are to the
intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether
the book is one to carry in one's knapsack or valise during the
happy time of our holiday excursion, and to give a place to on
our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant remembrancer."
—Sun.
" Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The
essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the
others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all
are written in a genial spirit."—Globe.
" Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers all the pur-
poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information,
all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a
line of space wasted in tine writing, but the descriptions of scenery
bear witness to the author's genuine love and appreciation of the
picturesque, just as his closely compressed facts and statements
prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man-
chester Courier.
" From back to back Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter
interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is
written in an easy and pleasant style, and is well got up.' "
Eastern Morning News.

We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con-
gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially
is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall,
it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica-
tion to the general public. . . . As to its literary merits we
need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient
guarantee on this point."—Western Mail.
" The articles shew unusual power of observation, are full
of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants—
reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

THE BAPTISTS' CENTENARY AND
EDUCATION.

- -
The centenary Meeting of the Baptist Association,
which is being held in Leicester, was resumed on Wednesday
The session was held in Lower-street Chapel, under the
presidency of the Rev. F. Stevens, of Nottingham.
Papers were read by Mr. Baldwin, of Loughborough, on
the history of Sundayschools, and by the Rev. J. Clifford, of
London (secretary), on the Sunday schools of the future. Mr.
Clifford referred to the education question, and denounced
Government religion in string terms, which were
vociferously applauded by the meeting. It required no
prophetic eye (said he) to foretell what must be
The end of the struggle. Religion and Arithicietio
must be severed, catechism and cyphering must
not be taught together. Government might
teach children to reckon, to read, and to write, as it might
teach soldiers to use rifles, and policemen to keep their
beats, but it had no right to instruct the young in for--
mularies of faith, any more than it had to introduce Mor-
monism into the Army or Mahomedanism into the Navy.
(Great cheering.) They must have a further application
of the principle of total separation between the adminis-
tration of politics and the teaching of religion. (Applause.)
Eternal justice demanded the reform, and it would avail
nothing in the long run to resist. Mr. Meekly advocated
special children's services—children's churches on Sunday,
and other services on weekdays. An increase should be
made in the number, and an improvement brought about
in the proficiency of the teachers. Much more cheerful-
ness was also required in the school-rooms.
