A Massachusetts Decision.
(Examiner.)

The question of the right of patrolling
before another persons premises for the
purpose of preventing others frem enter
ing his employ by threats and intimida-
ton, has been raised in Massachusetts,
and answered in the negative by the Su-
preme Court of that State. The court
emphatieally denied that the selt-better
ment, which was the aVowed object Of
the systematic annoyance, is sufficient
justification for the act.

The life of Jeanne D'Arc is one of the
most romantic, and at the same time, pa
thetic in all history. To most persons, as
Mr.. Lowell remarks, Jeanne's career
seems unreal, resembling a picturesque
legend rather than truthful history" AS
a matter of fact, however, the history of
the Maid is easily traced by students of
her time and its details are well under
stood. The well authenticated facts are
more wonderful than the legends that
have overlaid and obscured it. Mr.. Low
ellis volume is very carefully prepared
study of Jeanne's wonderful career, ca
reer rich in the elements of romance and
pathetic even unto death. The author has
thoroughly studied the history of her time
and has given us what is undoubtedly the
most painstaking and accurate account of
the heroine in the English language.
1t is indeed wonderful story, this of the
Maid of Orleans, a peasant girl of France
who, in obedience to visions and revela-
tions, became the deliverer of her nation,
and who after her great exploits in the
field, and a series of victories over the
enemies of her country, was finally de-
livered by her captors to the authorities
of the church and burned at the stake for
sorcery, heresy and rebellion. Jeanne has
been well described by another of her bio
graphers as IAN Amazon without cruelty,
a heroine who never lost her womanhood,
patriot who sought no self-advancement
and prophecies who proclaimed only the
power of God"
Mr.. Lowell while adhering strictly to
the view that Jeanne acted her part in ODE
dience to what she recognized as heavenly
directions, ventures no opinion as to the
Voices which came to her and were the
inspiration of her career. He remands
the question as to whether the Maid
was 'insane" or inspired to the ap-
pendix of his volume, where he leaves it
an open question to be determined by the
views of the individual reader 1t is a
question which will probably remain I'M
settled for all time, although, no doubt,
many readers of Mr.. Lowell's book would
be pleased to have his opinion on the sub
ject.

Thomas Whitaker, Publisher, Bible
House, New York.
The message of this handsome little
booklet is well indicated by it's title. 1t

brought into the daily life by reasonable
and common-sense Interpretation, and a
genuine application or use of Christ's

by the dedication: Il dedicate this book

in this volume, the authority of well
equipped thinker who has given years of
thought and study to the social questions
which the age presents for solution In
his view, 'Christ's mission was -fold,-
individual and social; to make men worthy
to be called the children of God, and also
to make state of society ON the earth
worthy to be called the Kingdom of God'
The volume consists of thirteen chapters,
devoted to the calculation of the mission of
Christianity to society and the application
of Christ's teachings to present. condi-
tions. 1t covers a broad field, but the ad-
mirable arrangement of the topics results
in a very comprehensive treatment. The
chapters on Christianity and Communism,
Socialism, Criminals, and that on Christ's
Standard of Values, the Law of the Fam

valuable, even illuminating. The work is
calm and thoughtful in dealing with the

spicuously marked the books and articles of
other writers that might be named who
have attempted this kind of discussion.

To turn to another matter. As we
look over the map of the country and
note the position of the States which
have been carried by the two chief
Presidential candidates, it is cause
for general rejoicing that the victori-
Gus party is not confined to sectional
lines. 1t is of course to be deplored
that so large part of the West and
South is on oneside and solarge part
of the East and North is on the other
side; but the lines are not drawn
hard and fast. The arraying of one
section of the nation in permanent
antagonism to other parts is to be
regarded as a national calamity. But
now that the victorious party has
carried States from ocean to ocean it
can no longer be said that the East
and the West have declared their in
terests to be antagonistic.
The presence. too. of so large a
minority vote in many of the States
Of the extreme West which separated
from their eastern brethren in their
decision, gives earnest that there is to
be no permanent sectional issue be-
tween East and West such as has foi
so many years existed between North
and South. Even here a ray of sun
light streams in. Several of the

that after several tons were up, he
