l Charles Gore, canon of Westminster,
 is author of new book just published lby the Scribners, entitled "The Body sof Christ: an Enquiry into the Insti- tuition and Doctrine of the Holy Com- munion," Tn which he discusses the na- ture of the Sacrament and the nature of the Christian body. He assumes the belief in Christ expressed in the Mi
 cene creed and the truth of the New
 Testament passages bearing upon the | institution of the Eucharist; and from ] this basis advances his position with
 the breadth and logic which is charac-
 teristic of his writings While holding
 the highest traditions of the church he
 is by no means rigid in his views. Af- ter laying down his premises, he dis
 cusses, in succeeding chapters the gift
 and presence of the holy communion,
 the Eucharist as a sacrifice, the author
 ities, and the present service of holy
 communion. Copious notes and refer
 encas follow the text.
 | In the Interna tional Monthly for
 April, Colonel Larned of the Military academy writes upon "West\ Point" Until war shall cease to exist the pro- fessional soldier Is a necessity. It is
 doubtful if any educational institute has ever been so superbly vindicated by trial as the National academy at West Point, or has better demonstrat- ed the fitness of it's purposes and meth
 ods to accomplish ends. The academy is now in it's centennial year, stands to- day foremost among the military schools of the world, and has..cost for the whole period but twenty-five mill lion dollars, a sum needed yearly by the army before it's enlargement. Col onel Larned shows what an important influence West Point has had upon the life of the country. Its graduates drawn from nearly every grade of so- ciety, are found, in every grade of pro fessional and public life.
 Professor Jevons writes upon the History and Method of the Science of Religion an attractive subject treated in an attractive manner. The eminent Italian composer, Peitro Mascagni, pre- Gents "A Tribute to Verdi" The remin- iscences of the great musician are thor oughly imbued with that reverence for art and love for the master which is characteristic of the Latin races and of generous natures. Few readers of the article will lay 1t aside without appre ciating that they have been brought nearer than ever before to the per sonality and understanding of the genius of Verdi The April number al together shows a fine editorial appre- ciation of the desires and tastes of the

 Few books could be more suitable for Easter than Francesca Alexander's re- cent volume of rhymed legends enti- tied "The Hidden Servants" The de- vout and simple spirit of these old stories, with their pure versification and the beautiful religious moral that each one of them teaches, can be appreciated by the young as well as the old. The author writes regarding the work: When I was young girl many old and curious books fell into my hands and became my favorite reading (next to the Bible, and, perhaps, the Divina Con- media,) as I found in them the strong faith and simple modes of thought which were what I liked and wanted. in my constant intercourse with the country people, and especially with old people whom l always loved, heard great many legends and tra- ditions often beautiful, often instruct 1 i've, and which, as far as l knew, had | never been written down. |. | never had time to write them as long | as my eyes permitted me to work at | my drawing, and afterwards, wben I { wanted to begin them, I found myself : few minutes at once. Finally l thought | of turning the stories into rhyme anl learning them all by heart, so that I could write them down little by little. [ thought children would not be very particular, if I could just make the dear 1ld stories vivid and comprehensible, which I tried to do If, as you kindly nope, they may be good for older peo ole as well, then it must be that when he Lord took from me one faculty He gave me another; which is in no way impossible And I think of the beau iful Italian proverb: When God shuts door He opens a window 1.-The Hidden Servants is published by Lit le.
