We have received two additional volumes of The Church Pulpit

Commentary (J. Nisbet and Co., 7s. 6d.) That dealing with the Old Testament includes "Joshua to 2 Chronicles," that with the New the Gospels of St. Mark and St. Luke i.-vii. The plan is to give short explanatory and suggestive comments on the passages selected. These the preacher will fill in. Materials for several hundreds of discourses are thus supplied. As far as we have examined the two volumes, we have found them likely to be useful. The comment on the "sun standing still" in Joshua, to take an example, is to suggest an application to the economy of time.
