that a copy could be given to every student in our theological seminaries throughout the land, and that the book could be read by every minister in this land, and by all our Foreign Mission aries on the Field. While not primarily directed against the destructive critics, it is a crushing exposure of the crudity and unscientific character of their methods and of their conclusions. There are constant references to extra Biblical Jewish literature,— the Targum, the Talmud and the Midrashim. The book will be a valuable one to put into the hands of inquiring Jews, and ought to be used to the conversion of many of them. (Cloth, $2.60.) “ BEING DEAD, YET SPEAKETH” HEN— as from time to time it does—'the onward march of human knowledge ruthlessly wipes out a theory, an insti tution, a code of ethics, a system -of philosophy, or a once popular book, it is not unusual to hear it spoken of as being “ as dead as Queen Anne.” And yet there exists today, in ordinary use, a monumental work, written when Anne sat upon the throne of England, which the intervening two-and-a-half centuries have failed utterly to oblit erate, or relegate to the limbo of for gotten things. That work is old Mat thew Henry’s “ Commentary on the Old and New Testaments.” The last representative of the Stuart monarchy—-a breed of rulers which with great profit to the people they so shamefully misgoverned, had well end ed much earlier—-died in 1714.

It tears to pieces all the so-called “ modern in terpretations” of that wonderful chap ter, and leaves no standing ground for the destructive criticism that now ob tains in so many of our theological semi naries. But this is not the most im portant thing about the book. Its in terpretation of every detail in the chap ter and its showing of how it was ful filled in Jesus of Nazareth is not only masterly and instructive, but it presents the Lord Jesus Christ to us in a way that will fill every believing heart with joy, and it is a demonstration, also, that predictive prophecy is a fact, in spite of all the attempted denials of that fact on the part of the modern school of criticism.
