A group of sermons preached from the City Temple pulpit, London, which teach that cooperation must replace competition, brotherhood must replace individualism; that the kingdom of love must be realized on earth.
Campbell, W. Wilfred. Canada; described by Wilfred Campbell; painted by T. Mower Martin. *$6. Macmillan.
W 7–130.
Here are reproduced in picture and text wonders of Canadian scenery “from Cape Breton to Vancouver island. The same brush has caught the peculiar charm of the old Acadian country around the Basin of Minas, with its quaint suggestions of a transplanted Holland: the rugged beauty of the Gut of Canso; the ancient capital on the St. Lawrence, with its crowding memories of other days and other ways; the wild scenery of the Muskoka lakes; the rich coloring of the autumn prairies; the grandeur of the Canadian Rockies, and the almost tropical luxuriance of British Columbian valleys.” (Nation.)
“Mr. Campbell lacks the faculty of condensation, and the subjects have proved too large for him: while Mr. Mower Martin’s part of the book is almost always happy and suggestive. He indeed, reveals throughout an amazing lack of perception or discrimination.”

“The pictures both in the coloured plates and in letterpress, are to be commended to those who want a Canadian view of Canada. The doctrines of the author upon the future of Canada are a little difficult to understand.”

“The value of this book to the ordinary reader is that it brings together various kinds of information which without it would have to be gathered from many sources. Mr. Campbell’s original work is mostly in the descriptions, many of which are very good.” May Estelle Cook.
