A church is house Of God, a place Of
His earthly habitation. wrought in. the
fashion of heavenly things, a visible type

the temple down to those wherein Euro
peans of the Middle Ages lavished their
scanty wealth and toiled with devout hands
to raise the awful fabrics Of the mediae-
val cathedrals and abbeys this thought
has lain as the corner stone of everyone
of the great and splendid churches that
brighten Christendom with the memory
building house of God, and the treasure
and labor lavished so abundantly were
consecrated as they might never be on
art-the handmade of religion-all the
treasures gathered from many lands were
lavished here in gratitude and praise and
ious; indeed, all things failed in a. meas
ure, to show the deep devotion of faithful
men, and their solemn knowledge OF the
majesty Of fhat that should en-
ship between this spirit and that which
prompts and governs the construction Of
contemporary churches. Were it restored,
understand more clearly the fatal error
of the modern sprinciple, realize that no
| tricks, no limitations, no cheapnesses, no
pretences, of any, kind, are toherable in
a Christian church, and that the admis-
sion Of those things in the temple of the
kliving God is blasphemy. Instead of the
cheap and tawdry structures of shingles
and clapboards, or fimsy brick and stone
veneering doomed to a very desirable de-,
cay, we should once more have solid and
enduring temples that even if by reason
| first compare with the noble work of the
| Middle Age, would at least take a place
with it in point Of honor instead OF stand
ing, as now, perpetual reminder OF our
meanness and our hypocrisy.
In this volume the author takes up the
question of church building from every
standpoint and he shows the application
every phase of ecclesiastical architecture,
from the country chapel to the cathedral.
The book is beautiful, illustrated with
| 1876 photographers and half tones and
| plans of cathedrals, chapels, chancels,
affairs, etc.

authorized by Mrs. Ingalls,, who has de-
voted nearly two years to the work OF
collecting material for the volume. Be-
sides his literary work, there is revealed
what may be called tn: home side OF this
distinguished man, which will make in
teresting reading for his friends and ad-
mirers. Letters and fragmentary sketches
which have been included exhibit gentle
and tender quality ,sthe nature and
| character of Senator Ingalls, which he did
not manifest to the world in his public
career The country looked upon him as
tendency to satire and keen excoriatlon,
which made him greatly feared by his
enemies and his competitors in debate,
and which drew to the Senate galleries
known that he was to, speak. 1t is prob
| able that his power for whitening i1fVec-
tive and his mastery. of language was
not equaled by any of contemporaries.
But it is with Senator ingalls, as man
| of deep and responsive affection, and as
a reflective individual, alive to all the hu-
man interests of existence, that the book
presented by his devoted wife has to deal.

How to Live by Edward everett
Hale, is one Of the most entertaining, vol

yet seen.
The ripe scholarship, wide. experience
and practical sense Of the distinguished

minously manifested than in this volume.
One may form some idea of the compre-
hensive scope of the work by the reference
to the subjects treated Of: How to

1T has been thought better to devote as
| much consideration as possible to the
most noted of the works rather than to
speak more briefly of many, In this way
it is hoped that the book may be valuable
both for travellers who wish to have
something more than mere guide-book in
formation of the great treasures of Rome
and for the amateur who has not sufficient
time or desire to consult the many orig
inal works necessary for a thorough art
