Christian doctrine OF Incarnation aud some
other supernatural features. that religion is
but one OF The world religions, all of which
she claims embody certain traditions Of q
sublime character relating to the nature of
the divine being. While there is some truth
in this, Christianity makes larger claim
and, in fact verihes its validity, to the effect
that it Is the superior religion, and that its
sacred books attest he validity of It's claim,
that before Buddha was born, before Zorc-
aster was born, God spoke and revealed to
man his origin, duty and destiny. In this
book Mrs. Besant, as usual, while recognize
ing large superiority in Christianity, holds
that Christ was only one of several teachers
of men to whom special knowledge was given.
She attempts to rewrite the record and as
serts that Jesus was born in Palestine B. c.
106 CD and was trained in an austere Essene
community in southern Judaea, and in mon
astery containing a great library of occult
works. many of them Indian of the Trans
Himalayan regions and from there, after
studying Hindu theology Occult, he went
to Egypt, where he was initiated as dis
ciple Of that one sublime lodge from which
every great religion has its founder" Mrs.
Besant claims that Egypt .'has rem ained one
of the world centers of the true mysteries.
She claims that she has had a special reve-
lation as to all these things has studied the
occult books, etc, and she very confidently
affects to sweep away the historic narrative
in the New Testament and tries to present
Christ a man, with divine illumination.

FAMILY doctor who has attended
IA father and mother in sickness,
~ watched over the children as babies
and given them advice as they grew up to
maidenhood and manhood has very close
relation to the family. When he comes in
half the suffering seems over, half the dan
ger past He comes at all hours of the
night and day and after years Of such
service confidence in him is almost un-
bounded. But in time the mother begins
to all and the daughters growing up de-
velop the troubles and weaknesses of wom-
anhood Here the physician very often
makes his mistake. The mother may be
going through the change Of life, but the
physician calls it general running down
Of the system or thinning blood. He fire.
quently treats bearing-down pains as kid
ney trouble and says deranged menses are
mere temporary troubles that will wear of.
In treating every case from whooping
cough to diphtheria and typhoid fever the
average physician has no time to specialize
any one class Of diseases-he has no oppor-
tunity to make study Of the particular
maladies of women. And he has another
disadvantage in that thousands Of modest
women will not tell the details of this kind
of sickness to doctor. But Wine Of Cardui
is a family physician, specialist Of female
diseases that has never been discredited as
aregulator Of menstrual disorders. 1t sell
dom fails to effect a perfect cure and when
cases are absolutely incurable, itnever fails
to benefit the patient.

'Lias' Wife, an Island story. BY Martha
Baker Dunn. Illustrated by Albert F.
Schmidt. Boston: L. c. Page & 60. Min
neapolis: n. Mccarthy. Price, SIPS
There Is charm about this story of love
and self-sacrfce on little island off the
coast OF Maine. We hear the thunder of the
sea against the cliff and watch the great
breakers roll in and strike half-sunken rocks
and fill the air with storm of foam, and
turning, mingle among the island folk and
accompany Rev. Morris King in his kindly
minstratons among them. LAS wife was
Annette Joyce. She is a heroine well worth
the study. An islander from babyhood and
bred to the sea and cultivated beyond her
environage, Annette had married Joyce, nos
having an ounce of love in her heart for
him. She had met cultivated yachtsman
from the great city, whom she was inclined
to love. He never made love to me- said
Annette to Mr.. King, and my heart did not
beat any faster for his coming but, for all
that, | knew that he was the kind of man
who could nave mastered me if he had cared.
! thought he did not care" Then she mar"
ried Lias, whom she did not love, but tried
to do her wfely duty, for 'Lias a mai
of fine and noble nature, even if 'Lias'
mother did not like her and SOrrowed at 'Lias'
choice of wife. Annette was unhappy and
ressimstic. She told the minister her trou-
bes. By and by there was storm at sea
and 'Lias dead body was brought to his
mother and wife, The SEQUEL is admirably
wrought. The minister had conquered and
the mastery over himself. He had loved
and conquered the love before he came to the
island. His position he stated thus to An
nette: There are some days when all the
human nature in me fights for mastery. Blu.
that's it-One must fight and work it out.
In times like this, other fellows philo-
sophy answers; one has to just 81 ub out his
Cwn. The one good end of the web that I've
got hold of yet is just this: It's clear that
we weren't all meant to have happiness, but
every man who deserves it can get peace
and peace l will have sooner or later If it
takes the last drop of blood to conquer it,"
He did get it. Not the least interesting fea-
ture of the book is the talk Of the island peo-
pie, who, as Mnervy said, were '.runnin
over full of opinions
