but to set before each other. as brother
would tell brother, the message God has
given to humanity, or which the divine
in the human soul has dreamed OF God
and the hereafter in lofty moments when
the chosen ones of earth have striven
most earnestly to rise into the pure at
mosphere of spiritual life.
Akaba's dream, which the great ori-
entail tried to realize and in a small way
did realize, found a more perfect ex-
PRECISION in this glorious conference of
the representatives OF the worlds great
religions than ever before. Its inn
portance was felt at the time by thought
full people, but not until IL was over did
Americas millions appreciate the inn
portance OF the congress. Then the cry
came for work embodying the message
of the worlds great religions as given in
the council. To meet this demand is
the object of this work. 1t contains the
proceedings of the opening and closing
sermons OF the council, verbatim, thus
giving the reader perfect picture of
one of the most unique spectacles man
has ever witnessed-a picture in which
the representatives of earth's great
and loving farewell.
These two great gatherings are given
verbatim, while in 20 interesting chap
ters are given absolutely verbatim re-
ports of the greatest and most represen-
tative papers or addresses which were
delivered-the papers which most clear
ly set forth the views, aims and mission
of the great faiths, and which are i'm.
mensely valuable as contributions to the
present literature of the world. The
work is the ablest and most complete
consensus OF the higher and finer relig
ious thought of The world which has
ever been given to humanity in small
compass, or at price within the reach
of people of moderate means. The prin-
cipal chapters are devoted to The Broth
erhood of Man, Ancient Religions. The
Catholic Church, The Jewish Church,
Science and Religion. The Hindus, The
Buddhiets, Religion and Wealth, 70
roaster, The Historic Christ, Compare
tive Theology and many other subjects
equally as interesting. The last pages
are devoted to Farewell Words, fifty
finishing truly wonderful book.

! In the last issue OF the Review of Re-
views there is g book notice which is
very interesting, telling of new book
just issued by The North Publishing
company of Boston. The title is None
Such? There Will Yet Be Thousands,
by Emory J. Haynes. An odd book,
fully as odd as it's title. The article in
speaking of the book states that DR..
Emory J. Haynes, a clergyman who has
been called the business mans preach
err" has written a story, which, as a
Of no II or 10 hIv A Ar1no oria
fiction, deserves high place, and as a
study of certain contemporary social
conditions is among the most prominent
productions OF 1898. The chief charac-
ter of the story is an ex-governor of one
of the New England states, who has
reached his f0ur-score years, and is
burdened with the question: "How
shall beat dispose of my rightfully ac-
cumulated $35, ,000, ,000?' 1t can be said
with safety that this Governor Randall
is one of the most real personages OF
present day fiction, and a strikingy
true type OF the better class OF our
millionaires-"tou gruff at times,
at others tender as a child, faithful to old
friends, "a severe and unmerciful opponent
in the stock markets, reaping almost
no benefit 30 far as happiness goes from
his own wealth to one VINO knows how
to ''get at him" rue and simple ma
ture. Denman Thompson, of the fam
GUS Old Homestead, likes the essen
italy dramatic treatment OF the story
finds in it the germs of great play
and believes that ''time will find DIR.
Haynes Randall kept, referred to and
valued as Mrs. Stoves Uncle Tom is,

The aged but shrewd money king ia be-
sieged by college presidents and other
typical beggsrs, but finally dsposes of
his property in rather novel way. He
leaves it in the hands of sub-hero of
the tale and the heroine, to be distrib-
uted in small sums-say OF few hun
dred dollars even-to worthy and strug-
Cling young people, especially those
who might by timely assist
ance create and foster home life.
There are numerous other strongly
drawn personages in the book. includ-
ing very rsscslly Judge; there is
description of private car, an account
of meeting of laboring men, q bcrim-
mage or two, ETC., etc., but the purpose
OF the volume lies in this predicament
of the wealthy Yankee and the manner
of its solution. There is nothing here
to satisfy an over-rsfned aesthetic taste;
nothing to eatiate an appetite for the
morbid or the mysterious. There is
straightforward humorous, convincing

ing to many prominent business men;
story of which Doctor Edward E. Hale.
writes: II have more than once plan
ned book of the same purpose, but
am glad DR.. Haynes has done it instead
of me, for l think it better DONE" The
title may now be interpreted to mean:
Are there ''none such" as Governor
Randall? "There will yet be thou
sands" Get this book, read it care

nearer the solution of the problem,
