Tho or,r,n Of the Semitic Races.

In a large octave volume Of more than
three hundred pages, entitled a Shetch OF
Semitic Origins (Macmillans), the author,
Mr.. GEORGE AARON BARTON, professor
of Biblical literature and Semitic lang
uages in Bryn Mawr College, has under
taken TO trace the path trodden by the
Semites in the journey from savagery 10
civilization, In the course OF which the
characteristic features Of their social aud
religious life were created. Beginning
with an effort TO identify the birthplace
and cradle Of the primitive Semites, the
author SUCCESSFULLY discusses their social
life. the sources Of their religious ideas
and a the transformations which
these underwent among the Southern and
Western Semites on the one hand and in
Babylon on the other, the extant survivals
Of the primitive Semitic cult. and. fnal'r.
the gradual evolution Of the pure and lofty
conception OF Yahwe or jehovah. The
book concludes with a brief estimate Of
Semitic social and religious influence or
the %non-Semitio world. In the present
notice we shall confine ourselves mainly
20 noting the conclusions reached in the
three chapters which deal with the birth
place, the cradle and the social and re-
uRlOuS IIe OF INC pIiIillilNt INV pHp
%sequently, we may indicate briefly the re-
suits OF the authors study Of the evolu-
ton OF Yahwe and Of Semitic influence
upon non-Semitic peoples.
Where did the Semitic race take its riser
To this geographical question various
answers have been given. II has been con-
tended that the birthplace OF the Semites was
the great central tableland OF Asia, near tho
sources of the Oxus and the Jaxartes; that
the Semitic emigration from this region
preceded the Aryan or lndo-European,
perhaps under pressure from the latter
race; and that the Scmitcs FIRST settled in
NIesopo,amia and Babylouia, which coun-
tries are consequently regarded as tho
! cradle of their civilization, According
to another hypothesis the primitive Semitic
( settlers in Babylonia were eInigrauts from
the lands south and southwest OF the Cas-
I nan Soa. Another theory makes Upper
Mesopotamia to have been not only the
cradle ~ Semitic civilization. but the actual
birthplace. Of the SciilIes before their
sararation from the Hamites, or, at least,
from the Egyptian branch OF the latter
stock.

M Goeic and by Wright. In favor OF

is the only part Of the world which has re-

that the process of emigration from Arabia

must be continually prodding our sense
Of social consequence to keen If wide

at each point Of contact with the lives
Of others such pointed questions as
these:
How would you like to be the tailor
or washerwoman whose bin you have
neglected TO pay?
How would you Ike to be the Gus,
toner to whom you are selling these
adulterated or inferior goods?
How would you like to be the in

are promoting with water?
How would you like to be the emnlov.
er whose time and tools and material
you are wasting at every chance Won
get to loaf and shirk and neglect the
duties you are paid to perform?
How would you like to be the clerk
or saleswoman in the store where Won
are reaping extra dividends by impos-
ing harder conditions than the state of
trade and the market compel YOU 10
adopt?
How would you like to be the stoker
or weaver OF mechanic on the wages

How would you like to be the bust
