A Manual
of Spiritual

BY Louise Collier Willcox

This collection Of poems will
prove Of value from two separate
points Of view. Much Of the
deepest religious feeling of the
world has been expressed in
purely secular verse, and every
reader, therefore, will be CRATE
full for this volume. Secondly,
the book is interesting histori-
caIly, because it traces the
progress of religious feeling, a.
distinguished from doetrinal,
from the earliest period Of
English poetry down to the
present. Among the poets are
Spenser, Raleigh, Beaumont,
Sir Philip Sydney, Shakespeare,
Herrick, George Herbert,
Milton, Wordsworth, Shelley,
Tennyson, Browning. Swim
burne, and many others.

 The premier, discouraged, announced the resignation of the cabinet October 23. King George, however refused to accept the resignation, and Monday the chamber adopted a vote of con- fidence in the premier by ballot of POS to S1. The premier was not sat isied, feeling that it was a vote of complaisance rather than sincere sup port, and insisted that the assembly be dissolved. He had his way, and November 2S was set as the date for the elections for a new revisionist chamber.
 Opposed to the recent assembly was the ministry, cordially supported by the king and the populace. The latter recently have made friendly manifestations toward the king and the government and criticised the as- sembly, though no serious disorders have occurred at the capital so far as is definitely known outside.
