d of praise is, I feel,
due to Mr. JOHN BUCHAN for a tale humorous enough in its dry way to
squeeze a smile from a mummy, and to the artists who have helped to make
this Gift the success that it is. In short, the book is good, nearly as
good as the object for which it has been published. "In aid," we read on
the cover, "of Queen Mary's Convalescent Auxiliary Hospitals. For
Soldiers and Sailors who have lost their limbs in the War." Here then,
by helping to provide our maimed heroes with the best mechanical
substitutes for the limbs which they have lost, is a chance for us to
pay a little of the unpayable debt we owe to them. Mr. GALSWORTHY may
rest assured that his appeal to "our honour in this matter" will not be
made in vain.

An extract from the Master of the TEMPLE'S sermon on "Muddling
Through":--

"When we rejoiced at the efficiency of our Navy we too seldom
recollected that it was primarily due to a superbly effective
system of education built up by the efforts of a few great men
loyally supported by enthusiastic insubordinates."--_Morning
Paper._

NELSON'S "blind eye" is not forgotten.
