Company. The subjects of the lectures are as follows : " Founda- 

 tions of Social Programmes in Economic Facts and in Social 

 Ideals," "Public and Private Relief of Dependents and Abnor- 

 mal," "Policy of the Western World in Relation to the Anti- 

 Social," "Public Health, Education, and Morality," "Movements 

 to Improve the Economic and Cultural Situation of Wage- 

 Earners," and "Providing for Progress." The author, in his 

 preface, says that "the necessity of selecting elements from the 

 social activities of Europe and America, which might have value 

 in the Orient under widely different conditions, compelled a 

 consideration of the materials from a new point of view." The 

 introduction includes, besides a syllabus of the six lectures, the 

 Letter of Commission from the officers of the three great inter- 

 national associations for labor legislation, asking the lecturer to 

 present their aims wherever it was possible in India, China, and 

 Japan. There is also included a statement by Professor E. Fuster, 

 of Paris, of the aims of the international associations on social 

 legislation. 



Boston Evening Transcript. The lectures will be of value to American 



readers in that they concisely place before them the social problem 

 in its most fundamental aspects* 



Christian Faith for Men of Today. By E. Albert Cook, Professor 



of Systematic Theology in the Congregational College < 

 Canada. 



xiv + 260 pages, i2mo, cloth; $1.25, postage extra (weight 1 lb. 8 oz.) 



This volume contains a clear and reasonable interpretation 

 of life from the Christian point of view, and some definite formu- 

 lation of those beliefs that have proved most effectual in the 

 development of individual character and in the promotion of the 

 welfare of society. Professor Cook believes that Christianity 

 is the religion which best meets the needs of all races and classes. 

 The convenient arrangement of the material in numbered para- 

 graphs, the valuable appendices, and the general systematic 

 treatment of the subject commend the book as a popular text 

 for college men and women, and for adult classes and clubs as 

 well as for general reading. 



The Independent. To those desiring a systematic statement of the main 



doctrines of Christianity we can cordially recommend Dr. Ezra A. 

 Cook's Christian Faith for Men of Today.
