Dr. Lyttelton has printed his last sermon at Eton, delivered

on December 17th last, under the title of Farewell (Eton College : Spottis- woode, Ballantyne, and Co., Gd.), with a preface addressed to the Eton boys of 1916 and with a few notes. In one of these notes, on the " discipline of thought," there is a significant reference to " topics that are unpalatable to the hearers." " As to Scripture," Dr. Lyttelton continues, " a good recommendation is to give special attention to the passages and books which attract you least." Surely that advice should be qualified as regards, say, Leviticus. The sermon, on the text " Hence- forth I call you not servants . . . but I have called you friends," is well worth reading.
