Large Crown 8vo. 6s. net.
“... The subject is one that suits Dr. Headlam and enables him
to produce one of his best pieces of work.... Dr. Headlam is on
his own ground, and his treatment appears to great advantage,
when he comes to deal with the authenticity and trustworthiness
of the New Testament documents. No better or fairer statement of
the present position of the criticism of the Synoptists could be
desired than that which is given in his fourth lecture.... the
lecture on the Virgin Birth is a model of restraint and good
judgment.”――_The Times._

THE MIND OF CHRIST. Demy 8vo, 6s. net.
The principle which has governed the present selection of
brief and simple addresses, given at various times in the
Temple Church, is the hope of illustrating, from one side
or another, the supreme need of a deeper realisation by
the Church of what her Founder taught and was, and a more
successful effort to apply His teaching and assimilate His
character.

and Prayer-book revision.

non-sentimental, and is suitable for boys aged eleven to
sixteen.

This book embodies the results of wide travel in
unfrequented parts of China, and much research in
Chinese Buddhist literature. It contains historical and
topographical accounts of some of the most famous religious
centres in the empire. The author has lived as a guest in
many of the monasteries and hermitages described, and has
made himself intimately acquainted with their legendary
and romantic as well as their religious and historical
associations. He deals with the religious problems arising
from the new political and social conditions and prospects
brought about by the Revolution, and the book is therefore
of special value to all who take an interest in the
religious future of the Chinese people.

HIS GRACE THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY, in a letter to
Mr. Murray, says:――“In my movements backwards and forwards
between Lambeth and Canterbury, I almost fear that I
may never have thanked you for sending me a copy of your
one-volume Dictionary of Christian Biography. If I have
already written, pardon this further letter. But I should
like to tell you how greatly I value the book. I have been
using it for some of my work, and am immensely struck by
the way in which it seems to have been found possible to
bring into this smaller compass practically everything of
real importance to the general reader. I am certain that
the editors and yourself have done a great public service
in placing this book upon our shelves.”

What correspondents to the _Guardian_ say:――
“If a book is wanted which is at once cheap, clear,
learned, and up-to-date, ‘The Doctrine of the Last
Things’ may be strongly recommended. In it the reader will
find the Old Testament, the Apocalyptic literature, the
Rabbinical writings, and the New Testament most carefully
analysed and the results presented in a simple form. In it
there is ample material for many courses of Advent sermons
on modern but reverent lines.”
“Will you allow me to make use of your columns to commend
to my brethren, as an invaluable help in their Advent
preaching, Dr. Oesterley’s book? It is popular and
lucid in style, scholarly in matter, and illuminating in
instruction.... I do not myself know of any other book
covering quite the same ground or so immediately helpful
to the preacher in Advent.”

and his daughter’s work, a labour of love, undertaken in
a spirit of most loyal affection, has been carried out
with marked literary skill. Several excellent portraits,
well reproduced, do justice to Mr. Pollen’s fine features
with their expression of mingled earnestness and sweetness,
and the charming decorative work of his later years is
illustrated by plates, some in colour, and working drawings,

This work is intended to furnish a complete account of

Writings, and Controversies of the Christian Church from the
time of the Apostles to the age of Charlemagne. It commences
at the period at which the “Dictionary of the Bible” leaves
off, and forms a continuation of it; it ceases at the age of
Charlemagne, because (as Gibbon has remarked) the reign of
this monarch forms the important link of ancient and modern,
of civil and ecclesiastical history. It thus stops short of
what we commonly call the Middle Ages.

“The completeness of Westcott’s famous volume in

For many years before his death the late Bishop of Durham

Gospel according to St. John, with Notes. A considerable
part of the Notes are those which already appear in the

enlarged. The work is edited by the Bishop’s son, the Rev.
A. Westcott.
The _Churchman_ says:――“Westcott on St. John has long been a
familiar and welcome phrase to multitudes of Bible students.
And these two volumes will make it a little more familiar

great scholar on a subject that was, perhaps, nearest to his

34 – Rev. iii. 15‒16. These words mean, I think, not “I would
that ye, the Church of Laodicea, were either morally worse
than ye are or morally better”; but “I would that either
ye were not Christians at all or better Christians.”

44 – And it cannot be overlooked that in one of the passages of
St. Paul’s epistles where the law of the indissolubility
of marriage is stated (Romans vii. 1‒3) he is referring to
the _Jewish_ law (see ver. 1) which confessedly admitted
exceptions, and yet he does not allude to them.

of Henry III, probably by a Westminster monk; see _Lives
of Edward the Confessor_, Rolls Series, iii. pp. 53, 207.
61 – _Didache_ 1. It must not be forgotten that both St. John
(1 John iii. 17) and St. James (ii. 15‒16) are speaking of
helping “a brother” or “sister,” i.e. a fellow-Christian.
And in those days there was an immense probability that
a member of the Christian society would be one who had
character enough to profit by help. But it soon became
necessary to “organize charity” by desiring the faithful
to give only indirectly through the bishop.
62 – From the days of the sub-apostolic Hermas, who makes the
responsibility rest wholly with the recipient of alms.

a form of dress drawn over the face they may be shown to be
persons going about as penitents.

70 – Hebr. xii. 22.
71 – It is not improbable, as has been recently suggested
by Mr. Chase (see below, p. 135), that this expression,
occurring side by side with “this day,” is due to the use
of the prayer both morning and evening. In the morning
Christians prayed “give us our bread to-day,” and in the
evening “give us our bread for to-morrow.”
72 – The difficulty experienced in regard to this clause by the
early Christians is well known. I may refer to Mr. Chase’s
_Lord’s Prayer in the Early Church_ (Texts and Studies,
Cambridge, 1891), pp. 60 ff. Mr. Chase also points out
the close resemblance between the “Lord’s Prayer” and our
Lord’s own language of prayer or about prayer in the time
of the passion. “Father ... Thy will be done....” “Pray
that ye enter not into temptation.” “I pray that thou
shouldest keep them from the evil one.” There are other
resemblances perceptible in the prayer recorded in
St. John xviii.
In the original language used by our Lord “_Lead_ (us not
into temptation”) and “_Enter_ (into temptation”) would
only be different forms of the same verb.

81 – Rom. viii. 14.
82 – St. Luke vi. 37‒38.
83 – Col. i. 28.
84 – The reference is to the saying of Hillel, “What to thyself
is hateful, to thy neighbour thou shalt not do; this is the
whole law and the rest is commentary” (cp. _Tobit_ iv. 15;
_Did._ i. 3), and to the similar maxim suggested by Plato
and current among the Stoics.
85 – Rom. xiii. 9.
86 – St. Luke xiii. 23‒49; St. John xxi. 21‒22.
87 – St. John ii. 23‒25.
88 – St. Matt. xvi. 17.
89 – Those not occurring continuously in chap. vi. are printed
in italics.
90 – This is a higher moral principle than that Jewish method
of “making a fence to the law,” which is expressed in
the _Didachè_ 3. “Be not prone to anger, _for anger
leads to murder_.... Be not lustful, _for lust leads
to fornication_.” The wrong condition of the will is,
according to our Lord, itself the evil, apart from what
it may lead to. What is needed is not merely outward
respectability or conformity, but a right spirit.
Humility both towards God and towards our fellow-men is
simply the recognition of the truth about ourselves.
92 – It can hardly, however, be denied that there are rare
cases where untruthfulness in word becomes a duty owing
to the social evil which verbal truthfulness would involve.
Thus almost all men would think it right to lie to a
would-be murderer in order to save a life. I twice heard
the late Master of Balliol, who had great moral common
sense, in answer to the question what he would do in such
a case, reply: “I suppose I should tell the lie, but I
had rather not think about it beforehand or justify it
afterwards.” This is the best answer in regard to such
quite abnormal cases. But there are certain more normal
cases where professional reserve involves something
approaching untruthfulness. The lawyer, doctor, or Cabinet
Minister may be asked a question which ought not to be
asked, and have no alternative but to give some more or
less misleading answer, or in effect disclose (even by
silence or refusal to answer) a professional secret. The
“seal of the confessional”――imposed on the clergy (with
a gradually increasing stringency) by the general law of
the Church and by the Anglican canons of 1603 (c. 113)――is
an intensified case of such professional obligation of
secrecy. In such cases the possible moral evil is reduced
to a minimum if society recognizes that what is known
under a “seal,” sacramental or professional, is not
included in the knowledge which is recognized in social
life. I have written the above because if there are
circumstances, however rare, where a man would not act
on the ordinary obligation of candid speech he had better
give general public notice of it. But I cannot feel
satisfied with the reasonings of moralists, Jesuit,
Anglican or Protestant, about the morality of the matter.
E.g. Newman Smyth, _Christian Ethics_ (Clark, Edin. 1892),
pp. 388 ff.
93 – Eph. iv. 28; 1 Tim. vi. 17, 18; James v. 4.
94 – The account of our duty to God and our duty towards our
neighbour in our Catechism is, when quoted correctly (“in
that state of life into which it _shall_ please God to
call me”) and interpreted rightly (“betters” not meaning
“those keeping carriages”), admirable, but of course very
short.
95 – It is perhaps hardly fair to say more than this.
Christ simply exempted a particular case from a general
prohibition, leaving the Church free in regard to it.
