Journal of Sacred Literature Exits as Talmud Debate Lingers
A critique of the Journal of Sacred Literature's final number weighs its thinness against one strong piece Rodwell's Job translation. It argues the periodical failed to offer rigorous, original scholarship and contrasts its shortcomings with the enduring value of Nichol's new edition and Rogers's commentary on Isaiah.

Music Notes on Recent Songs and Arrangements
A review discusses piano arrangements and songs for pleasure. It highlights Home they brought her warrior dead transcribed by W. Kube, praises Far Away by Miss Lindsay, and notes Shall I wake thee gentle sleeper by Miss Anne Fricker as solid but not top tier. The Gipsy Waltz by Karl Helmar is easy with commonplace melodies and a stronger face illustration. Sunshine by A M de Montmorency is described as bright and lively.
