the high standard which has been reached.
Professor Hincks continued the editorial Sc
ries on the Universally of Christianity, by
discussion of The Teaching of the Apostle
Peter" DR.. Hyslop, of the Johns Hopkins
University, accepting the theory of evolution,
points out its limitations as applied to ethics.
He shows clearly,and forcibly that the mean
ing and validity of moral conceptions can
not be settled by theory of their origin.
The Rev. William t. Herridge, of Ottawa,
Canada, writes gracefully and enthusiastic-
ally of Beethoven, connecting an account of
his musical compositions with the story of
his life. Mr.. Frederick G. Mather, of Al

Denison, of Williamstown, under the title,
Mental Narcotics and Stimulants." gives a
very fair estimate and valuable criticism of

philosophic and profoundly religious presen-
tation of the physical value of true moral
conception of God. There are other valuable
articles. The editorials treat of Sir William
Hunters recent essay on "The Religions of
India, %" The Use of the Word Prob tion.'"

English habits and customs in hotel keep
ing and other things in which the conservat-
ism of the Englishman comes to the Fronts

are not merely descriptive of the country
and its institutions and customs, but also
abound with insights into the political condi-
ton and prospects of the Russian people.
He gives US a book of permanent value
which we'll compares in every respect with
his former popular volumes.
Messrs. Lee g. Shepard, Boston, issue
a new edition of Miss Jane Andrews's
charming little juvenile entitled, "The
Seven Little Sisters who Lived on the Round
Ball that Floats in the Air." 1t is we'll
known as one of the most profitable little

as describing the earth and will be espec-
tally useful in kindergarten teaching. This
edition contains memorial of the gifted
authorizes by Louise Parsons Hopkins, q
very tenderly written tribute to the memory
of the gifted writer who is remembered by
SO many who have profted in instructing

LITERARY NOTES.

Cassell & Co. (New York; publish "John
Bull, Jr.," Max O'Rell's last creation, and
find it very popular. Nothing succeeds like
success in literature or any other profession.
Archibald Forbes's life of the late Empe-
ror of Germany, published by Cassell g. Co.,
has the advantage of being the first biogra-
ply of the Kaiser to be issued after his death.
Mr.. Forbes has been engaged upon this biog-
raphy long time and it has every evidence
of careful preparation. The last three chap
tiers are, however, by another pen, on ac-
count of Mr.. Forbes's illness. Mr.. John p.
jackson, of New York, who was Herald
correspondents during the Franco Prussian
war, is the author of these chapters. It is
valuable book and will no doubt have an
enormous sale.
wonderful interest has been shown
throughout the West in Prof. James Bald
wins paper, =" The Center of the Republic"
in Scribner's for April. 1t is an account of
the rise and progress of the Ohio valley, sug-
gested by the Centen nial celebration soon to
take place at Cincinnati. Prof. Baldwin's
account of what has been accomplished,
A new novel by George w. Gable is about
to be published by the Scribners. Its title
will be "Bonaventure: A Prose Pastoral of
Acadian louisiana" and in it the author
transfers the charm and color of his romano
ing from the Louisiana Creoles to their not
less interesting relations, the Acadians. The
novel is made up of three sketches, the thread
uniting them being the character of Bona
venture, whose importance gives it's title to
the book.
The great popularity of James Whitcomb
Riley at the Authors Readings, and the at
tention which his dialect poems have attract
ed, lend unusual interest to the full and au-
thoritative sketch of the poet and to his por-
trait, both of which appear in the April num-
Der of the Book Buyer.
Numbers 80 and 81 of the Riverside Liter

RENTED till the object God has in
it is accomplished in reformation; then
grace forgives and takes away sin, not
punishment.
8. Do you believe any persons will
be SO qualified by the discipline of
punishment or the work of grace as to
be ready to enter at death into their
final state of bliss?
Ans. The 'ttlreal state of bliss" may
be millions Of ages hence. The future
state is one of progress; souls enter it
at death, and progress from grace to
grace, and from glory to glory to their
''finaP' state.
A. Do you believe God will in the
future life punish any one that was
regenerate, cody, Christian man, while
living in this world?
Ans. A cody man in this or the
future world needs no punishment, is
not punishable. He has not the dis
ease of which punishment is one of the
remedies.
5. Do you believe that any man can
commit any sin in the future statep
Ans. 1 have no belief. The Bible
teaches that punishment is certain and
will continue as long as necessary, but
ends before the final resurrection. Then
all will be angelic, holy, happy.
