SOME NEW BOOKS.
Dean Church.


A book which ought to have received
more attention In this country than 1t did
receive, when II appeared. is the Life and
Letters OF Dean Church, edited by his
daughter (Niacmillans). This Ia the biogra-
ply OF a man well known to Americans
as the author OF the volumes allotted to
Spenser and Bacon in Macmillans' Men
OF Letters reries: Of book at once lucid
and scholarliiie on THE Beginnings Of the
Middle Ages in Longmans' "Epochs Of
Modern History" series. and Of a singularly
Just presentation of the Oxford Move
ment which was published soon after his
death In 1901. As clergyman OF the
Church of England; he played useful
and distinguished part. and, though he
occupied no higher post than that OF Dean
of st. Paul's, he probably might have been,
had he so chosen. Archbishop Of Canter-
bury Not only was he a historical scholar
Of great breadth and thoroughness. but
he was also an assiiuous student Of natural
science. He wrote an article ON the dis
covery Of Neptune which caught Lever
rier's attention, and his painstaking inter-
est in botany brought him into intimate
relations with Prof Asa Gray. His prompt
and frank appreciation OF Darwin's work
a
less general than II is now, was the out
come Of a mind that knew at all events
what Darwin's work meant, and knew
enough about IL to be neither timorous
nor hasty Besides intellectual gifts of
a high order, he possessed sweetness
and an elevation Of character which even
the most captious were constrained TO
recognize. There was such moral beauty
hot thav could not holm
taking him. 80 Mark Patterson says,
when speaking of the Oriel fellowship.
which he himself failed to get. in the auto
biographical fragment, wherein he seems
to have set himself to record the worst,
both of himself and Of every one else. While
Church, however, was himself incapable
Of sourness. much less Of uncharitableness
and spite, he took an active part in polemics
and dealt some sturdy blows. But even
bis opponents spoke well Of him. He
never made an enemy; he never engaged
In a quarrel; II may also be said that he
never made mistake.
Dean Church's life may be divided into
four periods of almost exactly the same
length. He entered oxford at the age Of
Is, and remained there about nineteen
years. The next nineteen we're spent in
the rectorship of Whatley, n small parish
in Somersetshire. During the last nine
teen years of his life he was Dean Of st.
Paul's. where he did more than any other
man to make the cathedral centre Of
spiritual life and influence in London. For
q detailed account OF his interesting career,
we must. of course, refer the reader 10 the
book itself We shall here limit ourselves
TO some gleanings from his correspondence,
after offering a summary of the principal
events in his life.

Pioneer pulp MIL Sold AGAIN,

Our readers are'acquainted with the
| circumstances of the recent sale of the
Pioneer Pulp Co. interests to Witter
and johnson of the Consolidated
Water Power Co. at private figure.
On Dec. 81, Mr.. Geo. E. HoSkinson. of
chased at a private figure the pulp
mill and all personal property con-
nected with the plant, with the
stipulation that he is to remove the
mill, supplies, etc, upon being given &c
days notice to that effect by MeSsrS.
W1tter and Johnson. This provision
is made SO that the presence of the
mill might not retard the work of
constructing the dam whenever that
much desired improvement in the
great water power here is begun. The
corporate name Of the plant will be
retained by the new owner OF the
mill, although the old corporation is
expected to be dissolved in the near
future and has no interest in this
purchase. When the new dam is
constructed Mr.. Hoskinson will take
500 horse power from the water
power company and remove his plant
to the other side of the river. This
deal settles the future Of Mr.. HOSkin
son and his family. They will make
This city their future home as it has
been their home for the past fifteen
years, and many warm personal
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. HosklnsOn
will rejoice with them that circum-
stances have SO come about as to
retain them and their interests in
Grand Rapids.
