f. p. Judd Co. This is very pleasin
story of the experiences of a younl
; minister in country town who, feeling
that he had mission, refuses call t
a wealthy and popular city church, t
become pastor of a village churcl
which has an uncultured boss deacon
the Wealthiest man of the congrega
ton, who has also an uncontrollabl
appetite for debating to the pastor o
the flock that he shall in doctrinal mat
tiers preach his view as to the "sincer'
milk of the word" The deacon hat
"morgiges on eleven farms" and was
correspondence looked up to. He haC
moreover a milk and water daughter
Lueindy, and was planning a mattel
between her and the young clergyman
whose heart, however, was lost to the
wealthy, beautiful and lovable sister
of his college chum. The young elder
starts out to preach the narrow and
hard theology which Deacon Mas n
wanted, but the suicide of an over
worked farmers wife opens his eyes
to the narroWness Of his the )icgic;s
dictator and he proceeded to prA:e Al
God of love and mercy, instead of the
traditional God of wrath This aroused
the ire Of Deacon Mason and the young
elder omitted also to sail in and de-
nounce the village advent preachers
doctrine. These things brought a re-
volt in the church, started and headed
! by the hard headed, obtuse and uncon-
promising Deacon Mason. The storm
| broke and the young preachers friends
| rallied around him. What followed is
we'll told by Mr. Tomlinson. The young
pastors narrow escape from death, his
long illness, his gradual return to
health through careful nursing and de-
voted care; his call to a city charge and
| his joyous discovery that his deluslon
that the girl of his heart loved another
was a delusion, are other features OF
this pretty story of rural lives and
characters, The book belongs to the
popular class of fiction of which Ralph
Marlowe" and Quincy Adams Sawyer"
are recent types. Mr.. Tomlinsoh's
books for boys have been remarkably
successful, and in this broader field he
has shown new evidence of his ability
as an interesting writer.
The loyalty of Bryn Mawr girls to
their alma mater rebounds to the hon
or Of that very successful and famous
institution, and Is strikingly illustrated
in the charming new book of short
sketches entitled 'Bryn Mawr Stories,
edited by Margaretta Norris and Lou
ise Buffum Congdon, both of the class
of 1900, and published by George VIA
cobs & Co., Philadelphia; price $1.20 net.
The love and devotion for Bryn MaWr
as a college stand out in the pages or
this work clear and unmstakable, and
a halo OF affection seems to surround
each contribution, as Bryn MaWr, her
buildings, her curriculum, her college
faculty are alluded to, The book Is
speaking tribute and testimonial to
Bryn Mawr, and all the more as this
testimony is so evidently spontaneous
and wells forth naturally from the
heart. The stories are very bright, at
tractive and meritorious, therein also
rejecting lustre upon the college Very
pretty glimpses of student life at the
institution appear incidentally In the
fabric of the stories and occasionally
quite brilliant work in Characterization.
The editors have done good work and
presented stories in variety, some d.
dactic others slightly philosophical,
others suggestive Of the merry side or
student life. Further Impressions re-
garding the book may be had from the
editors words of introduction, in which
they say in part: I'm compiling'a vol
ume of Bryn Mawr stories the editors
have been conscious that such a book
could never adequately represent col

that commands the devotion of every |
Bryn Mawr student is something diff |
cult If not impossible to depict. AT |
last. however, the ice is broken and |
Bryn Mawr talks about herself. In the
earliest days when the college had only |
two buildings and forty-four students,
aven in that first year it had charac-
ter and spirit all its own. And fifteen
years of rapid growth have seemed but
to strengthen it's individuality. To
show the college unity in diversity the
,ditors have carefully chosen authors
rom the older and younger alumnae
and from the undergraduates" The
EDITORS further set forth that none of
