CRITICISM OF "ROBERT ELSMERE," "JOHN WARD, PREACHER," AND "AN AFRICAN FARM."

Religion unsoftened by Infidelity--The Orthodox Minister whose Wife has

a Heart--Honesty of Opinion not a Mitigating Circumstance--Repulsiveness

of an Orthodox Life--John Ward an Object of Pity--Lyndall of the

"African Farm"--The Story of the Hunter--Death of Waldo--Women the

Caryatides of the Church--Attitude of Christianity toward other

Religions--Egotism of the ancient Jews.
