From Samuel Carson & Co, San Fran
cisco, we have California Three Hundred
and Fifty Years Ago; Manuelo's Narrative
Translated from the Portuguese by Pho
neer." Whether it is all fancy, or there is
some foundation in fact for this volume
matters little. 1t is an attractive volume
IN one sense, and q rather discouraging one
IN another. 1t is good story of adventure
IN early California, but there is too much,
altogether too much, of rhyming in it,
There is considerable method in the franz
ing of the plot if it is all fancy; and if in
part fact, it is admirably related and min
gled admirably with fiction. But we take
1t, the book is novel, and as SUCH a fiction
OF very much more than ordinary merit.
From John B. Alden, New York, we
have new edition of the volume entitled
Divine Healing; or the Atonement for
Sin and Sickness" by Captain R. Kelso
Carter, author of Miracles of Healing
Supernatural Gifts of the Spirit" etc. We
have no disposition TO pass in extended re-
view upon the book. AT very best, its
errors from our standpoint could be only
indicated-space not permitting enlarge
ment upon them. The book is rewritten
from the original edition and much en-
larged. and is intended to be a complete
exposition of the reasons for faith cures
and the doctrine that the atonement has
provided for the body as it has for the
SOUL
From John B. Alden, New York. we
have Judaism on the Social Quest ton
by Rabbi II. Berkowitz, D. D. Ideal edi-
ton, cloth, 90 cents. These lectures, which
upon their delivery attracted wide atten-
ton, and won for their author the degree
OF Doctor of Divinity. have been reprinted
IN the Hebrew periodicals, and some have
been translated into the German language
They are the first expression from the jew
ish pulpit upon the socialistic problem.
and have been welcomed as valuable ad-
dltion to the current information upon this
subject. DR.. Berkowitz is Rabbi of the
leading Hebrew Synagogue in Mobile, Ala.

pieces are entitled Lonely" "Bygone |
