Parsons and People

Tate MAX WH was SunE—By oven, Mocking. Modder & Stoughton, Ltd, London, 3/6

This book is dedicated to the Clergy, Ministers and Members of all the Churches and the first two classes will find themselves somewhat severely criticized, They are shown an ideal parson in the shaps of a young Methodist minister, who not only shakes a Lancashire towa from its spiritual apathy but discovers himself to be a man of noble birth and heir to vast estates instead of being the son of the humble couple who have brought him up, There is another point of interes in his love for the daughter of hi affluent senior deacon, When the nity close the book they at least will have cause for gratitude, for Mr, Hocking has proved, to his own faction at any rate, thet congregations are small it is the fault of the clergy and not the people—p.t.
