Broughton, Rev. Leonard Gaston. Soul-winning church. [**]50c. Revell.
Some of the most effective addresses of the well-known revivalist are found in this volume. They have been delivered here and in England, and concern the work and workers of the church to-day, its doctrine and its hope.
“They are plain, pungent, and spiritually quickening, though blended with archaic matter that is intellectually offensive to the educated.”

[*] Broughton, Rhoda. Waif’s progress. $1.50. Macmillan.
The waif is a young minx of eighteen who, learned in the ways of the French demi-monde, is brought to England on her mother’s death and saddled upon the relatives of her father, a lax lord. She creates havoc in the straight-laced families which shelter her, but the end of all her schemes being to win a permanent home or to make a creditable match, she finally marries a peer, the widower of her first hostess.
[*] “Her new novel shows the old daring and spirit in the dialogue, though not quite the old raciness and spontaneity that kept everything and everybody alive.”

[*] “Miss Broughton herself is more puzzled to know what to make of her and what to do with her than all the people in the book put together.”
