Five Mission Vessels are cruising amongst the North Sea trawling fleets. 12,000 smacksmen are engaged all the year round in providing our tables with fish. These men, who for us toll through furious blast and sleety storm-who hazard their lives and fall victims, hundreds of them, to the pitiless waves, that markets at home may be well supplied-may rightly claim some small share in the privileges we so richly enjoy and so highly prize. M THIS THEY CAN ONLY HAVE carrying o the fishermen the message of Divine mercy and pardoning love, bringing the pleasure of books to while away the weary hours, affording relief in case of sickness and injury, and cheering and brightening dull and monotonous lives by their presence and ministry. "The Mission Smacks are doing in the North Sea a grand work, worthy of the support of a great maritime nation like England; and I believe that the results of their effort, great as they are in the present will, if only supported liberally by the public, be of untold value in the future."Sir Edward Birkbeck, Bart., M.P. FUNDS are greatly NEEDED to enable the Mission to place a Vessel with every fleet. B. J. MATHER, Director. 181, Queen Victoria Street (next door to Blackfriars Bridge), E.C.

"This attractively got-up volume contains a series of graphic sketches of some of the evangelistic and philanthropic agencies which are exerting so much influence for good in the midst of the ignorant, the sick, the sorrowing, the crime-bestained, the depraved, the indigent, and the ragged of London. The descriptions of Ragged school work are given with a fidelity and sympathy that could not be otherwise than gratifying to us, The book is worthy of a wide circulation.".-Kagged School Record, Readers of the book, and we trust it may have many, will be well instructed as to what is being done for the poor and needy by some of the best known Workers of To-day;' they will also, we trust, gain a quickened sense of the responsibility that rests on all who love the Lord to help on such practical endeavours for the salvation and elevation of their fellows." -The Christian. "Mr. Waller does not discuss, he teaches. He has too firm a grasp of his own views of truth to stop to compare them, either controversially or apologetically, with those of others. Nor does he seem to borrow a great deal from other men's thoughts. The Bible, and experience of life, are his great authorities. One cannot read these thoughts without both seeing where they are meant to apply and being the better for them. The style is simply plain, and yet eminently readable. The book is warmly to be recommended to all readers in search of useful thoughts on practical religion, whether for bis own benefit or for the instruction of others." The Christian. 'Though bearing very directly on every-day life, this is by no means an every-day book. While Mr. Waller's language is designedly plain, and not infrequently colloquial (to use his own phrase), his thoughts are deep, his subjects varied, his remarks often original, and always interesting and instructive. . . . . We should like to see more writers of Mr. Waller's mental fibre, equally desirous and able to comment on God's thoughts and dealings in simple vigorous language, suited to all sorts and conditions of men."" English Churchman. "We cordially welcome this series of addresses from the pen of the Principal of the London College of Divinity. They treat of matters of the highest importance to every individual born into this world. They are, moreover, written in an interesting style; the author's aim having been not 'to assume the existence of an amount of knowledge which is but seldom to be found.' He has done wisely. . . . . There is a vigour of tone about Mr. Waller's style that is quite refreshing, and the definiteness and clearness of his teaching add much to the value of the book." Word and Work. "Mr. Waller is a strong, sound thinker, who can afford to speak in simple, clear language. Every page he writes is instructive, and he is always loyal to the Word of God. We wish books of this kind were multiplied a hundredfold." The Churchman. "Principal Waller is so well known as an able writer and commentator, that we need say little in commending this collection of expositions. The language is plain, and although we may here and there note tokens of both learning and originality of thought, the expositions will be found very generally useful. Short, suggestive papers of this kind, not only sound, but with an every-day common sense and practical bearing, are by no means plentiful. Mr. Waller's new book should be made widely known." Church Sunday School Magazine. "These are, as might be expected from the writer, thoughtful and practical articles. The title of the work does not do justice to its very interesting contents. This is quite a book for busy people who can only find time to read short articles." Price 3s. 6d., post free. JOHN F. SHAW & CO., 48, PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C. FORTHCOMING MAY MEETINGS.
