READINGS IN CHURCH HISTORY. By Rev
James $. Stone, d. d. Published by Porter &
Coates, Philadelphia. Price Sl.50.
In this volume are carefully examined and
Interestingly set forth the prominent periods
of ecclesiastical history, and much is told of the
persons, books, customs and movements which
thereto belong. The author, already favorably
known by his Heart of Merrie England"
and as a student of history and literature, has
brought to the work a fullness of knowledge,
an independence of thought, clearness of
treatment and beauty of style which can
scarcely fail to give the book a large circula-
tion and to make it invaluable to those inter-
ested in the subjects of which it treats. Ritual
Poetry, Monachism, Doctrine, Architecture,
Symbolism and Folklore are dealt with; and q
rare critical ability is dispayedin the analysis of
characters such as Augustine of Hippo Guth-
lac of Croyland, Thomas A-Becket, Henry VIII
and George Fox, and of books such as the
Inferno" "Piers the Plowmap," Paradise
Lost" Pilgrims Progress" and the Book Of
Common Prayer"

Miss Adelaide Johnson. Published by the au-
thor, 1903 street, Washington, D. @. Price Is

After many solicitations by friends Miss
Adelaide Johnson has consented to formulate
her wonderful philosophy, so poetical and
chiefly great in that the cleared way is pointed
out to each lover of peace by which to make
this existence on earth of that character in
every homo as well as the Nation. These
| conversations of which Harmony" or Veg
etarianism from Principle" is the first re-
corded and published, are dedicated to the use
of little band of three, who have selected for
their especial form of doing good the dissemina-
ton of food for the higher planes of conscious
ness, mental moral, ETC., which will in time re-
| place the necessity for the manifestations of
| philanthrophy in the form of insane asylums,
jails schools of reform, etc. This is particular
| ly necessary to all instructors in the different
| departments of healing, christian Science
Metaphysics" Mental Science" as some
| thing to be given to each student and patient
| for study. 1t will also be accepted by adj
vanced Theosophists, and all vegetarians wish
| ing the higher good of humanity, which must
come through the progress of this great cause,
| will grasp at these advanced considerations OF
the one subject, VITAL because it touches the
central error of our civilization, around which
| all others circulate and are as satellites.
