The chapter in the book called "The Surprising Experi- ences of Bishop Colenso" alone is worth the time spent in reading his whole book. "The Young Man from Jerusalem" is a fresh portrayal of the figure and teachings of Jesus. To quote the au- thor, "Jesus lived by Four Principles :-- I. Inclusive Love; II. Humble Sery- ice; III. Freedom; and IV. Common Sense. These Four Principles are all there is of Christianity and the only hope of mankind is in their final universal | prevalence over the earth, Back of the Principles lay, in the mind of Jesus Three Fundamental Be- liefs }-- I. God is like Men, only greater; IL Men are like God, only smaller; III God and Men can find happiness only in Eternal Mutual Love." The two new books by Browne, "This Believing World" and "Stranger Than Fiction" might both be entitled, "More Interesting Than Fiction." The former is a simple ac- count of the origins and developments of religions in general and each of the principle current religions in part from a sympathetic viewpoint. The latter is the story of the Jewish people from earliest times to the present, their per- secutions, their great contributions, their astonishing power to endure the vicissitudes of their tragic yet heroic history. --Book Reviewer. Relief in Six to Eight Hours Dear Sir: Have had the pleasure of using your cold tablets in breaking up a cold and attacks of the grippe. I say "a pleasure," for I mean just that. Colds have been one of the greatest bug-a-boos in my life, and I have found your tab- lets the most effective remedy that I have been able to secure. Taken according to directions they will give relief in from six to eight hours of that raw feel- ing in the head, pains, and other conditions common to severe colds; stopping watering of the eyes and nose almost as quickly, and effects a permanent cure in from twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
