James Freeman Clarke, the we'll known pas
tor of the Church of the Disciples, in Bes
ton, is an attempt to present picture of the
life of Jesus as it appeared to contemporar-
les, not only to Thomas, the doubter but to
the believer, the Pharisee, the Roman and
other representatives of public opinion
'Jesus himself comes before u.s." to quote
from the authors preface, mot as we now
think of him, idealized by the reverence and
worship of centuries, but as he may have
appeared to the people of his own day-a
prophet, one full of divine power yet a man
like themselves. have endeavored to place
the reader in the actual environment, looking
at Jesus as he may have appeared to a liberal
conservative like Nicodemus, a narrow zealot
like Ben-Gamlah, a man of the world like
PLATE, Jewish Epicurean, Jewish Stole,
noble Roman matron like the wife of Pilate,a
sceptic like Thomas, and an ardent, enthusi-
astic Jewish woman like Miriam" Added to
these are pictures of the time, the geography
of the country, the customs of the syna-
gogue and Temple, the teaching of Philo and
the determined proselytism of the Pharisees
The book displays much learning and an IN
telligent spirit of consideration regarding the
spiritual and material phenomena of the life
of Jesus, and the reader will undoubtedly OBJ
tain much accurate information from it.

The law prohibiting marriage with a de
ceased wife's sister, which has been the sub
ject of frequent public discussion and con-
stant private disapproval in England, is Pc
culiarly odious in the eyes of some of the
British colonists In Australia such mar
riages have long been legalized and the acts
of the Colonial Legislature to this effect, af-
ter due scrutiny by the legal officers of the
Grown, have been ratified by the Queen in
council. Under these circumstances, the
eolonists justly complain that grievous hard
ship is inflicted by the denial of legal recog
milton to such marriages outside of the colo
nies. This hardship is constantly incurred
by colonists desiring to revisit the mother
country.

A CARD.

Certain persons presuming to speak for
"The Saloon Keepers Union" ~ arc
surrep;iliously accusing me Of having
done some deed without name," which
in heir estimation has assumed terrible
proportions. When. how, and where,
and Of what it consists no one knows, at
least it so appears, as none of them is
able 10 tell.
Taking the ground that any one who
knows anything can tell something about
it, I therefore extend an invitation to the
Union or any of It's friends to ''Gell it
ALL" If they can show anything dis
honorable in my course | sincerely beg
Of them that they will not spare my
feelings.
Should the papers hesitate to print such
statements as yeu may desire to make,
please send your manuscript to me over
your own signatures, and Will have IL
published at regular advertising rates.
Now. let me hear from you, or by your
silence give confirmation to what is gen.
orally conceded, that you have nothing
to say. Start your monograph If there
is anything in it. I'll stay with you.
