From the sphere of our sorrow"
The above lines from Shelley quite appropriate
ly adorn the tite-page OF this volume from the
pen of tho popular preacher, Henry Van Dyke
The book contains niue short stories, three OF
which have heretofore appeared in separate form
They all illustrate the search for happiness,
which is the story Of each individual life whether
the quest be for things ideal or mundane. in
this case the stories arc all ideal symbolic, ale

"Novalis' entitled THE Blue Flower gives

The Source" Wood Magic" Spy Rock"
"a Handful OF Clay" each symbolizes psychoo-
gical human experience. The Mill" docs the
same. although the experience is placed within
the magical cycle Of the Arthurian legends. The
Lost Word illustrates the psychic life of a young
Greek, who came under the influence of ST.
Chrysostom, was drawn within the circle of
Christianity, but reverted again TO paganism and
recalled at a critical moment by a lost word
The last story of all "Jhc First Christmas Tree, ="
tells the legend of St. Wnfrcd and the Oak Of
Geisner and deals with experiences of early days,
when British saints of the order Of the Irish Gull
decs penetrated the wilds Of Germany and con

Odn to that OF Christ One of the most touch

popularity in a separate form.
The imaginative beauty and spiritual grace of
these stories are remarkable and the evident

Roses red and roses white
Plucked for my loves delight;
She would none OF all my posies--
Babe me gather her blue roses.
Half the world I wandered through,
Seeking where such flowers grew
Half the world unto my quest
Answered but with laugh and Jest
Here l came at winter tide,
But my silly love had died,
Seeking with her latest breath
Roses in the arms of death.

She shall find what she would have
Mine was but an idle jest,
Roses red and white are best.
