 novels" Patterson Du Bois, of the edi
 torial staff of the Booksellers Library
 says in a masterly review of. the book:
 "The story is clean, dignified inform < ing and elevating. It is full of the color that charac acterizes the light and shade
 that emphasize and the movement that X awakens expectancy and holds interest. Yet the dominant strength of the book lies even more in it's natural character drawing. We see the histor- < ic Jewish exclusiveness, as we'll as it's
 possibilities of giving way under the < ,sOverpowering influences, inducements
 and prosecuting pressure of Hellenic environment. We have clear pie 2 ture, too, of the triangular trouble of
 the Jew, Syrian and Arab in close
 contact; the terrible odds against J which Judaism struggled in order to S maintain it's separateness and regain an
 ascendancy in the Holy City as in days zone by These are brought out lsthrough the development of plot, not

 aCulture and Restraint by Hugh Black, published by the Fleming H. Revell Co.,, is very different book from tfie authors "Friendship,' yet very much like it. It deals more with the deepest problems of life, discussing the varied relations of development through expression and repression. It is the old question of Zion and Greece, Judaism and Hellenism, clothed in the sarb of modern every day life. MT. Black is an intensely practical man and he has no faith in theories that do not work out in life. In this respect "Culture and Re straint' manifests its kinship to .sFrfendship. The problem it presents he looks upon as no academic one, but in some form or other very real and 1;a,o,,It,r uybich demands 9 O.
