The Sermons of a Buddhist Abbot, which were delivered by the Rt. Rev. Soyen 

 Shaku, during the author's visit to this country in 1905-1906, and have been collected 

 and translated and edited by his interpreter and friend, .Mr. Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, 



will prove fascinating to those who are interested in the comparative study of religion 

 as well as in the development of Eastern Asia. Here we have a Buddhist Abbot holding 

 a high position in one of the most orthodox sects of Japan, discoursing on problems of 

 ethics and philosophy with an intelligence and grasp of the subject which would be 

 rare even in a Christian prelate. 



ThC Praise Of Hypocrisy. An Essay in Casuistry. By G. T. 

 Knight, D. D., Professor of Christian Theology in Tufts College Divinity 

 School. 1906. Pp. 86. 50c net. 



"The Praise of Hypocrisy" is an essay based on the public confessions of hypocrisy 

 that many champions of religion have made in these days, and on the defenses they have 

 put forth in support of the practice of deceit. Not that the sects now accuse each" other 

 of insincerity, nor that the scoffer vents his disgust for all religion, but that good men 

 (as all must regard them) in high standing as church members have accused them- 

 selves. 



By exhibiting the implications and tendencies of the ethics thus professed and 

 defended, and by sharp comment on the same, the author of this essay designs to 

 arouse the conscience of the church, to sting it into activity in a region of life where its 

 proper functions have ceased. 



This is not an attack on the church, nor even a mere criticism ; it is the language 

 of righteous indignation hopefully summoning the church to be honest with itself, to be 

 loyal and faithful to its master.
