minimizes the gleams of light concerning an after-life that we get in the Old Testament; undervalues the moral reward of goodness for its own sake, and thinks that Christianity is the only revelation of immortality. He charges Mr. Row with virtually giving up the Old Testament both as a revelation from God and as a foundation of belief in immortality.' This we think is an exaggeration on the other side, and is scarcely just to Mr. Row. The intimations of immortality in human nature, brought out in detail in an able and beautiful paper by Mr. Garrett Horder, are, we think, stronger than Mr. Row admits; and so are the intimations of the Old Testament psalmists and prophets. Still, considering the familiarity of Moses with Egyptian doctrines of the dead, it is a great problem that the Pentateuch should be silent concerning the sanctions of a future life. Principal Cairns criticicises Mr. Edward White's theories, and Mr. White rejoins with characteristic acuteness and cogency. Other writers are Canon Knox Little, Rabbi Herman Adler, who also assails the positions of Mr. Row; Professor G. G. Stokes, Rev. W. Crosby Barlow, Rev. J. Robinson Gregory, and Rev. Bishop Weathers. The volume is full of interest and suggestiveness on one of the most obscure and subtle of theological teachings.
