Excerpt from The Holy Communion of the Church of England: Part I. An Historical Study; Part II.-An Exposition

It has been truly said that it is the heart that makes the theologian. Car Hague's book will be foundto be no dry bones of metaphysical doctrine, but a book that comes from the heart and speaks to the heart. It is, in fact, a popular work, although based on a wide study of doctrinal literature. It is, of course, the misfortun: of controversy that it is directed against error, which is, almost always, an exaggeration of a truth, exaggerated until it has ceased to be true. Canon Hague, in his disproof of what may be called the Levitical Priesthood, and Levitical doctrine of the Eucharist, has not thought it necessary to enlarge upon the whole doctrine of the Eucharist - its relation to the sacrifice of the Cross, or the various non-levitical sacrifices, which it involves - sacrifices of almsgiving. Of praise and thanksgiving, or the fr e-will offering of ourselves to God. Indeed in so short a work there was no room for a full exposition of all that our Blessed Lord left to us, when He instituted this holy rite. Canon Hague has restricted himself mainly to one point, and has enforced it with vigour and convincing reasoning. His book should be of special value at this critical moment in the historv of our Church.
