Studies in plant life the fashion of the hour
and good fashion too. To trace the development
of life from the minute cell, the physical basis Of
all that lives and grows, is study as fascinating
it is fruitful In the volume entitled sThe Wonders
of Plant Life under the Microscope" the author
Sophie Bleddoe Herrick, aims to give the more i'm
portant types in popular style easily comprehend
ed by the youthful student The author avoids
techncalities far possible and is very clear
well as comprehensive Special attention given to
the examination of insectivoreus plants which can
not fail to interest all who wish to follow out and
carry forward Darwins speculations in this direct
ion. Fungi and lchens, liverworts and moses,
ferns and pitcher plants all made to pass in re-
view, and the latest principles of organization are
applied to their investigation One chapter is de-
voted to the use of the microscope among flowers,
from which many beautiful results are obtained.
Each chapter is an independent essay and the whole
work is on an elevated plane free from materalistic
and atheistic tendencies.

AblCS The IIbIAN.
The age of sectarian bitterness and strife is past
and the age of Christian philanthropy is dawning
on the world. There has been change of
taste and temper among Christians For ages,
theologians held their ground and succeeded
in arraying the forces of Christendom against
each other. In this way. the strength of the
Church was exhausted in unfruitful controyer-
sizes and the progress Of Christianity arrested The
thin edge of the wedge was entered at the Council
of Nice and driven home by edicts of successive
councils till the DEGREES of Trent effected formal
separation between the old and the new. Happy
had it been for Professionalism If The reformers
had laid to heart the lessons furnished by the perse
cutting spirit and dogmatic obstnacy of the Medieval
Church. But they failed to discern the signs of the
new times, and went in the cid ruts of dogmatic
definition. Scholastic theology regned in the re.
formed churches for three hundred years but for
the past fifty years has steadily declined. Christ
ians are beginning to see that it is the truths in
which they agree that constitute the glory of all
churches not those about which they differ Instead
of long, subtle, metaphysical creeds, the simple
statements of 'the Apostles Greed" are again pre-
ferred to the complicated and inferential defini.
tions of later and longer confessions. In word
scholastic divinity is now at discount, and fast
falling into neglect and merited contempt This be-
ing So We cannot commend even an able effort to
revive interest either in the old controversies or the
persons who waged them, which seems to be the mo
tive of what we may call ecclesiastical novel en-
titled ''Arius the Libyan' Arius was doubtless a
brilliant man and subtle thinker, but that he me.
nopolized all the sanity virtues of his age or was
martyr to the creeds of primitive Christianity. we
fail to see or believe. In these pages, he is de-
scribed as the last of apostolic witnesses for pure
Gospel truth. Without sustaining that view of his
character or career we cam and cordially do, COM
mend the present disposition of Christians to re-
turn to simpler symbols such as all admit suffced
for the whole Church three hundred years, the Pc
Rod of its greatest internal purity and external tr
umphs. We must also agree with those who prefer
facts to felton, and to study such period as the
age of Arius in historians who are too scrupulous
to freely minge their fances with the facts of histo
ry. In the progress of the Arian controversy both
parties doubtless placed too much reliance on the
farm of fesh'' the imperial favor. That Arius was
free from blame in this particular is argued with
pernacity by the author but in this he differs from
most historians.
