hUlahu IIattnSs hulgnt: a novel or
Our Time" by Agnes Mauie Machar. A
story which shows 9 practical familiarity
with the "seamy side" of life, and un-
flnchingly portrsys many of the miseries
of the poor. The much discussed ques-
tion of labor and capital comes in-the
needs and demands of labor, and attempts
to enforce them by strikes and violence;
the power of the capitalist and the meth
DDS of its manifestation, both for evil and
good. But the story is not over-serious,
for 1t has its romance also, and Ii Ia both
wholesome sud stimulating. Perhsps the
best index of the purpose of the book
might be found in its nots of dedication
to Lyman Abbott, D. D., zone of the first
voices in America to enforce the relation
of Christianity to the labor problem"
