. By Mrs. O’REILLY. (Wells Gardner, Darton & Co.) 1_s._ 6_d._
=253. Teachings for the Little Ones on the Catechism.= By C. M. YONGE. (Walter Smith) 2_s._ 6_d._
These last are more of Sunday-school books than intended to be lent, but as most of the instruction to _very_ little ones must be conveyed either by reading or speaking to them, it has been thought that the recommendation of these might be an assistance to teachers preparing lessons.

ON CONFIRMATION.
=254. Harry and Archie.= By the Rev. E. MONRO. (Masters) 1_s._
The first is the most effective of all such books. Its excellence has been proved. To our own knowledge it has brought a servant to Confirmation and a lad to Holy Communion.
=255. Clary’s Confirmation.= (S.P.C.K.) 1_s._ 6_d._
A great favourite.
=256. The Castle Builders.= By C. M. YONGE. (Walter Smith) 2_s._ 6_d._
Confirmation difficulties in a higher rank of life.
=257. Jeanie Gordon.= (Walter Smith) 1_s._
The Confirmation of an invalid girl in Scotland.
=258. Ruthieston.= (Walter Smith) 5_s._
A story of Scottish middle life, but the Confirmation subject is brought in and dealt with usefully.
=259. Laneton Parsonage.= (See No. 180.)
The second volume bears on Confirmation usefully.
=260. Maggie Preece.= (S.P.C.K.) 4_d._
A fairly good Confirmation story.
=261. Boys.= (Skeffington) 9_d._
=262. Girls.= (Skeffington) 9_d._
Practical advice in short compass; excellent for Confirmation gifts.
=263. The Seal.= By C. M. YONGE. (Smith) 1½_d._
A Confirmation tract.

ON THE PRAYER-BOOK.
=264. Church Echoes.= By Mrs. CAREY BROCK. (Seeley) 15_s._
A tale with conversations woven into it to bring out the meaning and blessing of the Church services, going as far as the Litany.
=265. Sunday Echoes in Week-day Hours.= By Mrs. CAREY BROCK. (Seeley) A series. 5_s._ each.
There is one volume on the Collects, and another on the Epistles and Gospels.
=266. Stories and Lessons on the Collects.= (Walter Smith) 12_s._ 6_d._
The lessons are given by a lady to a class of boys, each of whom has his own history and character, and, besides pursuing this, stories are told and read to them. It is a very useful book for teaching from, making the class in hand answer the questions and look out the references (of which there is a very large choice); and the stories, which are not quite equal to the teachings, can be read or not according to time and expediency.
=267. Stories on the Christian Year.= By C. A. JONES. (Masters) 8 vols. 2_s._ each.
Stories illustrating the Collects, with questions at the end. Rather unequal.
=268. Richard Nelson.= By the Revs. J. and T. KEBLE. (Walter Smith) 1_s._ 6_d._
The conversations on Church matters formed several of the earliest ‘Tracts for the Times,’ and have both the simplicity and the power of all the teachings of the author of the ‘Christian Year.’
=269. Charles Harvey’s Difficulties.= (Hayes) 6_d._
A valuable explanation of the Athanasian Creed; exactly the thing to correct popular mistakes.
=270. Benedicite.= By CHILD CHAPLIN. (Murray) 6_s._
A favourite book, going into details on all the glorious works of creation mentioned in the Canticle.
=271. History of the Prayer-Book.= By F. M. P. (S.P.C.K.) 1_s._
A sketch of the growth of the Prayer-Book.
=272. Studies on the Benedicite.= By Mrs. BAYNE. (Hatchards) 6_s._
Somewhat in the same style as No. 270, also excellent, with more historical association and less natural history.
=273. Our Mother Church.= By Mrs. JEROME MERCIER. 3_s._ 6_d._
Conversations on Church subjects and the history of the Liturgy, best adapted to young ladies and girl pupil-teachers. Very useful.
=274. Children of the Church.= By Mrs. O’REILLY. (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.)
