FAITH AND REASON
NEAR THE BRINK, by L. P. Jacks; Allen and Unwin. English price, 12/6, | HESE "observations of a nonogenarian," by a scholar and author, once Professor of Philosophy at Oxford and
well known as editor of the Hibbert Journal, merit attention; for when a man of his years, deep religious feeling, and powerful intellect turns to a consideration "of things that matter most," we may look for wisdom., Yet the first essay on "The Reciprocity of Death," inspired by contemplation on the death of his wife and companion for 56 years, is a little disappointing, or rather disconcerting; for he confesses that his reasoning leads him to one conclusion, while his faith (or the Whole Man as he prefers to call it) confirms him in
another.
