will undoubtedly find great favor with
a multitude of readers The scene is
laid in the bluegrass region of Tennes-
see, and one delights in the author
many exquisite poetic rhapsodies about
the birds, the flowers, the trees and
brooks of the region he tells about, all
of which form the setting for the very
pretty and gossamer thread of plot
which runs through the book. The
story is rich with tender sentiment,
poetic feeling and delightful humor.
The few people of the story have real
and deeply humorous interest.
Mr.. Moore, the books author, is ma
tive of Marion, Ala, but for the last
fifteen years has lived near Columbia
Tenn. His father is circuit judge in
<1ieipctHieti HAVING pCCll Oil lLlC DSllCu
since 1880. He is q descendant from
James Moore, the first governor of the
state Of South Carolina, and from AL
fred Moore, who was one of the earliest
justices of the United States supreme
court. Although "A Summer Hymnal"
is Mr. Moore's first story Of any consid-
cradle length, he has written numerous
short stories which have been warmly
admired, and has published at various
times a number of poems. The reading
of one Of these, 1.-THE Ballad of Emma
Sansom," before the Alabama legisla-
ture, in 1899, created so much enthusi-
asm that the grant Of a section Of state
land was voted to the subject of the
poem.
Of "a Summer Hymnal' the New
York World well remarks: THE birds
and the horses and the sweet Tennessee
fields are all through this romance, but
In revealing the very hearts of Ned
and Thesis and the Blind Man, who is
their dear friend Mr.. Moore has made
the human element stand out, as it
should, apart from and yet a part of
harmonious creation. Truly, this au-
lHoI VI summer 1yHlnal mas
touched and sustained high note In
novel writing. He has put an tdyll into
prose We shall think Of him and of
his book people-not forgetting Miss
Cynthia, with her questions, and "Old
Wash, with his black face and royal
heart-as tenderly as of summer days
themselves. He has written for our
hearts as well as orr heads ~
