 t'Foregleams of Immortality" with an "In Memoriam" is 8 new work by Rose Porter, author of ''In the Shadow of His Hand" etc. Though called "Foregleams, the book makes no attempt to picture the hereafter or to solve speculative inquiry. It is, as the author says in the preface, "a little volume of comfort, lovingly inscribed by one who sorrows, yet sorrows not without hope.'" The In Memoriam pages are the narrative, in outline of one whose life on earth helped to illuminate heavenly foregleams. A choice, though at times sad, sentiment runs through the book. In every part Christ is pictured in terms that are at the same time beautiful, soul-inspiring and soulelevating. The whole tone of the book is uplifting. It contains gospel comfort, gleams of immortality with the In Msmoriam. The book is a pure, sweet and rich collection of gems full Of sug- gestiop and tender thought Anson D. F.
