This is new book OF social thought,
handbook for practical progress workers.
and the latest book from the pen of the
editor of the Arena, and, as Its title sug-
gests, its aim ia to outline some OF the
factors which, introduced into the social
effort Of our day, will help to bring in
"the new time" when sweetness and
light is to prevail.
The New Time is intended primarily
ss q handbook outlining the work, alma
and methods of the National Union for
Practical Progress; but it has peril
nence and value for all who have read
and thought about the social problems
OF our day; and the information which
the author puts into suoh moderate
compass will algo serve admirably to in
terest many in social literature who have
been deferred by rumor from touching
these fantastic theories"
1t is facts, facts, facts, which The New
Time msrshals before the reader-facts
OF everyday, com monplsce, humdrum
life about us-and the author hopss

his readers and lead them to compre-

the privilege OF the men and women OF
this generation to push forward. Su-
perstition and mere tradition are being
laboriouely rolled to the back OF the
worlds stage; they are making q great
dust-the binding dry-rot of sges-as
they go, but the world ia growing wiser.
Ten men--sversgs, every-ds common
folk-are thinking today, while hun
dred yeara ago only the learned and the
comfortsbles could afford the time to
think, and the new day, the new time,
is dawning. The Tories and the eroak-
ers generally think the world ia going
to pieces because go much dust is being
disturbed, but it 10 not. We are begin
ming to awake, to see the real world, to
touch the realities, to learn something
Of the true facts of life. The New Time

But no good comes to humanity with-
out workers and thinkers. The social
destiny of mankind 10 worked out by
every day men and women, and not by
far away Providence. q deus ex

make it fact.
The new time can only come by every
man playing a mans part. The union
OF all the forces in society for social good
alone can effect any immediats and
ultimate measure of reform. We must
begin by shaking men out of their indif-
ference or their ignorance in order to
diminish the force of the resistance to
the individual measures of practical re-
form, 80 urgently needed.
b. o. Flowers New Time is, in a GER
tain way, complementary to Civilza-
tion's Inferno, but it has this distinc-
tion OF purpose; it puts into a small
compass a body of concrete remedial
measures for an immediate and practi-
cal organization OF social reform
agencies. 1t shows how existing evils
can be modified, and gives the trend OF
contemporary social thought and it's
evolutionary process towards its ulti-
mate goal of the highest social good.
The cloth edition ia printed ON hand
some heavy paper, and bound in blue
and buff. 1t will be remembered that
blue and buff, since the days of Crom-
well, have been the colors of the people.
This is one OF the handsomeHt books of
the year. A cheaper edition. on thinner
paper and bound in paper, is also iseued.
thus placing it within the reach of all.
