RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

1.-THE Master Christian" by Marie. CO.
refill, Is one Of the most remarkable
books of recent years. 1t Is enough to
say that 1t deals with the great prob
lem Of humanity and reiigion-the etcr-
nal struggle between the spiritual ond
the material. An allegory of striking.
beauty runs through the book. 1t will
appeal with great force to the Roman
Catholic. to the Anglican. to the Nom
conformist; to the agnostic and the
bigot; to the wording as we'll as to
the religious. It will inspire the, keen,
est and most sustained interest, and will
excite eager discussion. 1t puts into ar
tlculate language the inarticulatc
thoughts Of the majority OF mankind.

unto the Heights Of Simplicity" by
Johannes ReImers. Norwegian by
birth, but now living In California, Is
u unique work. His style is notable for
Its quaint poetic idiom and subtle i'm
aginative flavor. In the present story,
he treats with strength and retlcence
Of the relations Of the sexes and the
problem OF marriage. Certain social
abuses and false standards of morality
are attacked with great vigor, yet the
plot is so interesting for Its own sake
that the book gives no suspicion of be-
Ing problem novel. The descriptions
Of natural scenery are idyllic In their
charm, and form q fltting background
