By Editor

[Every book sent to us by the author or publisher will be promptly acknowledged, the title of the book, number of pages, the names of author and publishers being given in every case, together with the price, when we are informed what it is. Such other notice will be given as the merit of the several works may demand. Marked copies of the paper containing notices will be sent to publishers.]

"PROCEEDINGS OF THE 28TH INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS," held in Philadelphia, Pa., May 8-12, 1889; 125 pp., price 25 cents. International Committee of Young Men's Christian Associations, 40 East Twenty-third Street, New York City.

THE "Nun of Kenmare," an autobiography, by Sister M. Francis Clare Cusack, late Mother General of the Sisters of Peace; 558 pages, price $1.50. Ticknor & Co., 211 Tremont Street, Boston, publishers.

This is a most readable book, and its candid tone will carry to every unbiased mind a conviction of its truthfulness. It would be an excellent work to put into the hands of candid, thinking Romanists. The Nun of Kenmare has done a good work in thus giving to the public a history of her life.

"THE SENTINEL LIBRARY, No 19," Pacific Press Publishing Company, 43 Bond Street, New York, and Oakland, Cal.; 76 pp., price 10 cents.

The subject of this number is the charge of Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, field secretary of the American Sabbath Union, against the editors of the American Sentinel, with their defense. There is also given a report of the findings of the committee appointed by the church to which these editors belonged, to investigate the matter. Besides the matter of the charges (which, in our opinion, resulted from defeat and chagrin) and the reply, the pamphlet throws a strong side-light on the workings of religious legislation. The work is worth reading, and all who have heard of Mr. Crafts' charges should read it. The editors have a right to speak in their own defense, and should be heard.
