SUNDAY AFTERNOON FOR THE Chill
DREN.-A Mother Book. By Mrs. E.
Frances Soule, New York. Fords, How
ard & Hubert.
One of the perpleXities facing a con
scientiOus mother, who wishes to train
her children to keep the Sabbath day
holy" and yet to make it a day of cheer
and Brightness. is how to occupy the
afternoon hours. When there is no sun
day school, with its varying interests,
the time is apt to hang heavy on both
children and parents. The old-tlme
"''strict observance is hardly possible,
even if it were desirable, and q relapse
into idling or boisterOus play is neither
profitable nor c~Ommendable.
With a view to suggest some simple
methods of busying the little brains and
hands Of restless children at this time,
Mrs. E. Frances Soule has published an
attractive handbook entitled, Sunday
Afternoon for the Children" 1t is an en-
largement of lectures which she has been
giving for several years in various parts
of New England, where they met a warm
welcome from many mother and earnest
concentrations from divers clergymen.
Beginning with a prelude as to the i'm

soon plunges practically into her ugges
tions for interesting the little folks in
various lines of fascinating Bible work.
OF course in these days of the kinder
earten. Of object lessons, Of small begin
nings and increase of knowledge by
growth. the principles OF this book will
be by no means strange to people VINO
are already wide awake in the newer
methods of child education; yet even TO
these there will be an agreeable surprise
at the novelty and ingenuity OF many OF
the ideas-all Of which, by the way, nave
been worked out in practical operation by
the author, herself a mother and a teach-
er-while to the many not familiar with
such recent devices the book will come as
a revelation and a delight. 1t is full OF
good sense, and Of a very sweet ana
tender spirit.
At the end of the book there is a col
lection of Hymns and Poems for the
Little Ones"-all full OF Sweetness and
light and of simple Christian teaching
1t would be hard to divine the "denoml
nation of the author, since the booR
is as uncertain and undOgmatlc as Ine
Gospels, aiming, indeed TO present rather
the themes and thoughts on which al
Christians agree, and chiefly the teach
ings of Christ himself. The BOOK VIII Dc
a boon to many a perpleXed and weary

It is called The Redemption of David

an itinerant fakir and follows her almost
TO his destruction. The dramatic move

The Lackawanna Railroad has just is

novation in the way Of railroad literature
This book, which is attractively printed
and Illustrated, is practically Il book OF
short stories. having no advertising IN
connection with them except such as ma
turally accrueS from the fact that the
stories are located along that line. The
~Lackawanna Railroad. being the second
Oldest in the United States, passes
through a territory, every mile OF which
has associated with it some Indian legend
or romance, some recollection OF the IN

the War of the Revolution. 1t is an easy
matter, therefore, for the short story
writer to find a mine of material along
