* Caird, Edward. Lay sermons and addresses: delivered in the hall of Balliol college, Oxford. *$2. Macmillan.
“Of the twelve addresses which are here published, the first deals more especially with the opportunities and duties of college life; three discuss in a large-hearted way the great themes of national patriotism and civic service, while the last two, on ‘Immortality’ and ‘The faith of Job,’ touch impressively on the ultimate questions of Divine justice and human destiny, which lie behind all the creeds. A sermon on ‘Salvation here and hereafter’ gives the author’s general view of the nature of the religious ideal and the place of religion in human life; while the remaining discourses are devoted to the perennial themes of moral and spiritual experience—‘Freedom and truth,’ ‘Spiritual development,’ ‘The great decision,’ ‘True purity,’ and ‘Courage.’”—Lond. Times.
“With the sermon-form there goes in Dr. Caird’s discourse the Christian outlook at its broadest and best.”

This volume should find place in all college libraries.”
