ON THE PRAYER-BOOK.
264. Church Echoes. By Mrs. Carey Brock. (Seeley) 15s.
A tale with conversations woven into it to bring out the meaning and blessing of the Church services, going as far as the Litany.
265. Sunday Echoes in Week-day Hours. By Mrs. Carey Brock. (Seeley) A series. 5s. each.
There is one volume on the Collects, and another on the Epistles and Gospels.
266. Stories and Lessons on the Collects. (Walter Smith) 12s. 6d.
The lessons are given by a lady to a class of boys, each of whom has his own history and character, and, besides pursuing this, stories are told and read to them. It is a very useful book for teaching from, making the class in hand answer the questions and look out the references (of which there is a very large choice); and the stories, which are not quite equal to the teachings, can be read or not according to time and expediency.
267. Stories on the Christian Year. By C. A. Jones. (Masters) 8 vols. 2s. each.
Stories illustrating the Collects, with questions at the end. Rather unequal.
268. Richard Nelson. By the Revs. J. and T. Keble. (Walter Smith) 1s. 6d.
The conversations on Church matters formed several of the earliest ‘Tracts for the Times,’ and have both the simplicity and the power of all the teachings of the author of the ‘Christian Year.’
269. Charles Harvey’s Difficulties. (Hayes) 6d.
A valuable explanation of the Athanasian Creed; exactly the thing to correct popular mistakes.
270. Benedicite. By Child Chaplin. (Murray) 6s.
A favourite book, going into details on all the glorious works of creation mentioned in the Canticle.
271. History of the Prayer-Book. By F. M. P. (S.P.C.K.) 1s.
A sketch of the growth of the Prayer-Book.
272. Studies on the Benedicite. By Mrs. Bayne. (Hatchards) 6s.
Somewhat in the same style as [No. 270], also excellent, with more historical association and less natural history.
273. Our Mother Church. By Mrs. Jerome Mercier. 3s. 6d.
Conversations on Church subjects and the history of the Liturgy, best adapted to young ladies and girl pupil-teachers. Very useful.
274. Children of the Church. By Mrs. O’Reilly. (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) Part II. 1s. 6d. (See [No. 252].)
Very easy lessons for young children on the Collects.
275. Only a Tramp. By Grace Stebbing. (Shaw) 6d. and 3s. 6d.
There are some mistakes in this, but they may be overlooked for the sake of the practical illustrations of the Litany.
276. Stories and Teaching on the Litany. By Dr. W. Hardman. (Skeffington) 5s.
Short chapters of comment on the Litany, containing telling anecdotes illustrating each clause; especially useful for those who have to get up a lesson before giving it.
277. Number One, Brighton Street. By C. MacSorley. (S.P.C.K.) 6d.
A story showing the comfort of intercessory prayer.
278. Prayer-Book Packet. (S.P.C.K.) Six books. 1s.
Short tales illustrating the services.
279. Chapters on the Te Deum. (Masters) 2s.
280. Letters from an Unknown Friend. (Kegan Paul) 1s.
More about the Church than the Prayer-Book, but very useful as showing why Dissent is an evil.
