amorphosis had been sudden, violent
and complete; and so rapidly had the
times moved. so fierce and exciting the
temper, that year old events of once
burning interest had been forgotten in
more recent CONGREGATIONS.
Illustrating the terrible pictures
drawn, the following is mild example:
Change! Change! Change! The

the cry of the canniba1 is heard in the

mockery and curses; the only divinity

the mind is to give a "gpod under
standing" of many of the phases of
life, which to most people are incom-
prehensible. From the chapter on
Moral Courage we have this
thought: Let us recall with a. fear
which shall force us to stand with
splendid courage for high thinking
and simple living in defiance of the
flood of luxury-what gave birth to
the French revolution. 1t is by the

m he latest effort of w. H. R. Tro-
bridge places before the reading
world a novel absolutely devoid of
moral; with plot of human blood,
and possessing not a spark of mirth to
brighten the gruesome picture. The
story opens with a description of the
feelings and emotions of the vilest peo-
pie of the slums of Paris, noted for
their ultra-revolutionary ideas. These
people both hated and feared the royal
family, or "Aristocrats," as they term
ed them. From out the midst of this
class of people is taken a girl of the
lowest type and made the heroine of
the story-Eglee, indeed and in truth, "a
girl of the people"
Contrary to what might have been
expected from her rearing and environ
ment, this girl conceives a passionate
love for the reigning queen, Marie An
toinette. The author in describing
these lowly people, has used no dis
elimination, and not only in an abusive
way, but very revoltingly reproduces
their evil thoughts and profane Ian
guage. The power of the author in de-
scribing things and events is good, as
for example:

that many times the book was laid
aside with a shudder ere 1t was finished.
The efforts of the heroine to protect and
save the queen were futile. resulting
only in her final Imprisonment along
with the royal personages. She was
eventually pardoned out because of her
lowness of birth. At the time of the
executions she attracted with her beau
tiful voice and glorious eyes, the at
tentions of the crowds, with the words:
"Vive la Reine!" and by her exhibition

she, as captain, led them up to the

She was finally sent to a dungeon as
a lunatic; the queen and her royal
lover both guillotined, and the ending
of the story comes with the words:
'Eglee, like a great exploding spark,
had ignited, blazed up, and burnt out. )"
1t would seem that the French rev.
olution had already received sufficient
attention at the hands of novelists, and
certainly as this story draws no lesson
from that black page of the worlds
history it is untimely and uncalled for.
The book is thrillingly written. but all
the more harmful because of this fact.

"HOME THOUGHTS" By Mrs. James Early Cox

TN through a year past our mind
has often required to the sound
philosophy embraced in a series
of essays published under the
modest title of Home Thoughts"
which was one of the new books of the
last year. A second series coming with
the new year literature we instantly
laid hands upon; and after an eager
perusal we find ourselves gratefully
possessed of a finer, richer view of our
own life and it's possibilities, and one
can hardly get such glimpse of 1.-The

setting of ones face to the light, and
the planting of ones feet in the climb
ing path. Hamilton Mabie called the
author wise-it is the wisdom of in

jects with which the writer deals

WITH MAKERS AND LOVERS OF LITERATURE.


IN HE Civil War has been, for many
years, a fruitful warehouse of he
roic material for the construction
OF vital novels. The momentous
events leading up to the four years
struggle, and those developing out of
its finality, were all sunk deep into the
very root and branch of the republic.
The questions under such bloody de-
bate and the issues which sent sons
and fathers clawing at each others

Thoughts is one who has seen the
practical working of both the old or
der and the new in American social
and family life, and there are discus
sions of many conditions and phases
of modern life: all in a wise and
healthy vein. The strength and indi-
viduality of former days are brought
up into the present, with a purpose to
keep and foster the truths which the
past has brought to light; and with a
zeal for the wonderful present in
which we live. There is no miasma
in these books. In the chapter on "Ebb
Tide" occurs this sentence: There is
something very stimulating in the
knowledge that the error of last year
belongs to it, and that new path
stretches out untrodden and unstain-
ed which we may keep clean If we
will" The whole impulse of these
books is toward hope and richer fru-
ition, while very definitely defining the
elementary conditions for these ac-
complishments. Seldom is it that the
reader of new book closes the last
page with a consciousness of a wider
mental vision, of more exalted ambi-
ton, of deeply stirred spiritual emo
ton. And with even more-a hopeful
thankfulness for the possibilities Of
ones own being and for the revela-
ton thereto. Avon Nosirrah

hortatory as to style, that is the
worst that can be said of it.
The ultra-conservative might call it
unorthodox, since the author substi-
tutes the immanent spirit for the an

assumes the truth of the theory of evo-
luton, in which human endeavor and

elements, completing and clarifying the
cosmic process, and candidly admits

DR.. Goes admirable book deals with
the doubts and difficulties that beset
the average man, to whom religion
must mean something more than emo
tionalism or a metaphysical statement
of beliefs. He strikes the keynote in
every chapter when he seeks to i'm
press upon the reader that Christiani-
ty is not the refuge or weak natures,
according to the Nietsches criticism,
but that 1t is the expression OF mans
highest ideals brought down into every

and continually working out into right

TN recent years nature has claimed
an ever increasing share in the
1 literature of the world. The poets
have dug deeper than ever before
into it's labyrinth of mysteries, while
prose writer's have given the subject
more thoughtful and conscientious at
tention than could have been hoped for
by even the most ardent lover of ma
ture. With camera and sketch-pad,
authors and artists alike have made
deep and prolonged plunges into the
recesses of valley and forest; coming
forth at length after having visited
the haunts and studied the habits and
life of natures myriad creatures, to
give to the world knowledge of mere
tofore hidden secrets OF the natural
world.
1t has been interesting indeed to
note with what feverish eagerness the
student world has developed a desire
after knowledge of nature and its crea-
lures; and the determined effort put
forth has resulted in better and far
more intimate knowledge of these sub
jects by students and general readers.

through the literary world with as
much enthusiasm as usually attaches
itself to the social fads sweeping the
ranks of society. Fortunately, how
ever, this literary fad has been pro-
ductive of vastly more good than those
of dress and manners.
Besides magazine articles unnum-
bered, many of which have eventual
ly been published in book form; there
have appeared in rapid succession, ex-
haustive as we'll as light an entertain
Ing books on the secrets of nature,
from the presses of the leading pub
fishing houses. The enthusiasm has
been so great on the part of author and
reader for such knowledge that the
contagion of it has swept into the
schools of the land, and even they are
full of new and striking books giving
fuller, more intimate and practical
acquaintance with nature than has
ever before been taught to the children
Of any generation.
At least three departments or
literature have been materially affected
by this flood tide of nature produc-
tons. The first of these may be casu-
ally designated as the nature story
books. Into the mouths of the various
animals is put language, and hanlts

scteristics attributed to them, either

type, we must say, is drawn from his

come from keen study of life in the
rough.
The plot throughout deals with the
gradual rise of this same John. He is
carried through the Civil war, and
there are some exciting battle descrip-
tions. and good work in the telling
of his real sweetheart's devotion and
self-sacrifice. His illiterate but oak
hearted mother contributes much to
lifting the book out of the common
place. She sticks to her strangely
weak and strangely strong son with
a loyalty which is touching and out of
the ordinary.
AS whole, there is no especial
stength or attraction in the book. The
plot is siekly, the continuity of events
poorly sustained, the forensic and war
stories commonplace. with nothing new
or original in the substance or the tell
ing. In sparse places there are really
beautiful little bits of poetic descrip-
ton of forest and field life, and some
of the character work is good. But one
is moved to ask himself why the novel
was written-it has no distinct mission,
the narrative is not even of engrossing
interest. 1t belongs to the class which
we pick up and put down with leisure.
Like the browsing old Biblical city, it
is neither hot nor cold.
