SPIRITUAL LIFE.

Rev. @. Woelfkin on the Spirit That De-
ponds on Christianity.
The Rev. G. Woelfkfn. the popular
young preacher of the North Baptist
Church. preached to a congre cation that
filed the auditorium Yesterday morning
on Life and Abundant Life.n
Life and death. he said, are relative
terms. The body in its grave four feet
underground has parasite life in its pro-
cess of decay, although we call it a dead
body" The spiritual life comes only
from Christ. ~
"Some Christians" said he 'shave very
it wrong to do this, or to do
that that is the evidence OF a lack of
abundant spiritual life. / say nothing
against legitimate amusements, but
when music and song become merely ad-
vertisements to draw people Co church,
instead of depending on the pulpit, then
it is time for the Christian to lift up his
voice against them.

places. Suppose / should such
subjects as thee for the next four

NEW PU

"Criminology," BY Arthur Mcdonald.
Funk and Wagnalls Company, Publishers of
Aston place, New York, announce as ready for
publication "Criminology,' by arthur Nc
Donald.
The science of crime and criminals opens up
a vast field of great interests, not only to the
scholar who investigates causes and sequences,
classes and pecuIiarities, but to the ordinary
thoughtful man who, recognizing the awful
effects OF crime, and realizing something of the
almost innunerable number of criminals, de-
sires to know of these phenomena in their re-
lstions to society, to the human race. In this
age of ''better things we have been led to be-
lieve that while the punishment of criminals is
necessary for the protection of life and property,
yet the prevention of crime is the disederatum
devoutly wished for. To effect this, as far as
possible, is the problem to be solved, and those
who are attempting its solution have investi-
gated the causes OF crime, not sin in the
abstract. but crime in its awful concrete
power. Find and ~analyze the causes, and then
remove them, is the only scientific solution
of this problem. Heretofore, the works upon
this branch of science have been in the main
such as only students would appreciate. but
while we have in this work q scholarly treat
ment of the subject, as the result of years of ex-
pert study and research, we have also in this
book a popular treatment by which the subject
is brought within the comprehension of those
not specialists.
The clergyman, the lawyer, the student of
sociology, the philanthropist, and, indeed. all
men who are IN any way concerned, I rying to
lift society to a higher ground, will find this
hook 10 be intensely practical and interesting.
Its value in this special line of inyestigat ion will
be at ouce admitted.
The authors preparation for this work has
consisted in a course of study in the University
Rochester,, Princeton and Andover Theology
cal Summaries, Union Theological Seminary,
Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University
University, of Berlin, University of Leipzig. Uni
versity of Paris, Universities of Zurich aud vi
emma, and Clark University. Worces er. Mass.
His plans also included special visits to the
principle prisons and charitable institutions in
England, france, Germany, Belgium, Switz-
erland, Austria, Italy and America. He
passed Two entire summers with Grim
finals in on. best institutions at Rochester,
Elmira. Auburn, and at other points. He was
locked in cells with criminals in order to be-
come more fully learned concerning them He
served as United States Delegate TO the Inter
national Society of Criminal Authropology at
Brussels in 1892 and is Specialist in Education
as related to Abnormal and Weakling Glasses,
U. =. Bureau of Education.
The main work closes with some general prac-
ticab,e conclusions which are worthy of close
attention.. An extensive and exhau stive
photography Of crime, of the best books and
artic les, in the several languages, follow.
