CAMPION—PARSONS INVASION PLOT (1580).
London: Protestant Truth Society, 31 Cannon Street, E.C.4. Price, 6d.

In January of last year a protest was made by the United Protestant Council to the B.B.C. against a review of Desmond MacCarthy, M.A., over the wireless of the Life of Edmund Campion by Evelyn Waugh, a young novelist. Both the reviewer and the author seemed to have relied more on their imagination than on facts as the correspondence which followed and which is recorded in this booklet clearly shows. Mr. Kensit took Mr. MacCarthy and Mr. Waugh in hand and both cut a rather sorry figure in the correspondence. The booklet contains a good deal of information on the secret plottings of the agents of the Romish Church.

ROME’S TRAFFIC IN NUNS.
Same Publishers as above. Price 2d.

The pamphlet’s sub-title, An Exposure of Conventual Dowries and Mortality. The information contained with its pages will be an eye-opener to many. Last year Bavaria dismissed 1,676 Roman Catholic Sisters from teaching positions. The report stated that the aim of the government was “the banning all monks and nuns from teaching German youth because of their proven immorality in recent trials.” Hundreds of nuns we are informed are employed in State-aided Schools. The salaries received by the nuns go to their Orders. In Scotland the teaching staff of Roman Catholic schools can consist of monks and nuns entirely and when it is borne in mind that these schools are supported from the rates not only by Roman Catholics but by Protestant ratepayers it will be seen that these ratepayers whatever excuse they make cannot absolve themselves from the guilt of supporting schools in which the doctrines of the Church of Rome are zealously taught.

PERSONAL RELIGION: The Story of Thomas Scott’s Conversion
by the REV. HAROLD A. LEWTY, M.A., Rector of Somersham.

London: Sovereign Grace Union, 31 Imperial Buildings,
Ludgate Circus, E.C.4. Price, 2½d. post free.

This is a very interesting account of Thomas Scott, the commentator’s conversion, one of the trophies of divine grace. Many of our readers have read Scott’s own account of the mysterious way in which the Lord led this dead clergyman to acceptance of the truth as it is in Jesus in his Force of Truth. Mr. Lewty who himself received a blessing through this book tells the story of Scott’s conversion with impressive clarity within a short space. The Sovereign Grace Union has done a good work in publishing this useful booklet and Mr. Lewty deserves credit for the pointed way in which he has told the story.

PAPAL PLOTS AGAINST THE BRITISH EMPIRE.

This pamphlet is a revelation of Rome’s well-laid plots against Britain. Mr. Albert Close states the facts which speak for themselves. It is an extraordinary indictment and every reader of the Magazine, young and old, should send for a copy, carefully read it and keep it for future reference. Mr. Close’s bona fides for accuracy is of the highest order as the statement in the Introduction clearly indicates. The pamphlet may be had from The Protestant Truth Society, 31 Cannon Street, London, E.C.4. Price, 7d. post free.
