NEWS OF THE BOOK WORLD
A Call to High Thinking and Conduct by
Lillian Whiting-A New and Interest,"
Ing Book on the Ph!lIppines-An At
tempt to Answer Pilates Question,
What rs Truth?"

The life radiant and ''the world beau
tifu1'.z-that the former is the complement
of the latter is the faith of Lillian Whiting.
Believing that life radiant thru the joy
of high ideals realized, is possible, she be-
lieves further that it is attainable here
and now. "'The human will, merged IN
the divine will is nvincble," she says in
The Life Radiant. ''There is no ideal Of
life which it may not realize, and this re-
alizatiOn isin the line of the inevitable and
is experienced with the unerring certainty
of mathematical demonstration.
Yet when one comes to examine the
actual average attitude Of humanity to-
ward this subject Of the divine will, one
finds it largely that OF a mere gloomy and
enforced resignation, even at it's best.
*%+ It seems to be held rs the last
resort of desperation and despair rather
than as the abounding source of all joy
and success and achievement"
That the divine strength is an mex
:haustibe source upon which the human
spirit may draw is one Of the fundamental
beliefs of the Christian religion. So Miss
Writings first statement above is neither
new nor surprising. But her eXultatiOn
over the fact is something that is, to say
the least, not so sommon as it might and
from Christian standpoint ought, to be.
Her remark, therefore. about ''the aver
age attitude of humanity. is not without

the emphasis she lays upon the necessity
Of living ones professions II these are to
be Of any real value.
The views that many will quarrel with,
those regarding the relations between
those who have put off 1.-THE dull impedi-
ment of time and those who still wear it,
she bases in part upon Investigations that
are not generally accepted. But being con-
WINGED that mans most feared enemies,
sin and DEATH, can be overcome by "com
ing to know God" she sees no ground fol
gloom or tears, and her book, which has
been written in an excess of exultatior
apparently, is her testimony as to the
| soundness of that way of looking al
things.
| While. therefore, her grounds may diff.
fer in some respects from those on which
others base their faith, her call is to the
manifestation Of the kingdom Of heaven
which is within by ones daily conduct
and conversation.

GENERAL MACARTHUR RETURNS
Has Nothing to Say AS to Germany
Praises Hawaii,

San Francisco, Dec. 2S-General Mac
Arthur returned. yesterday on the steamer
Siberia from the Hawaiian islands where
he has been making military inspection.
The general is in good health, enjoyed his
trip, and was greatly pleased with the is
lands. which he termed "a most valuable

An interviewer brought up the subject

waiian militia who quoted General Mac
Arthur as saying war would come between
the United States and Germany, and that
the principal fighting would be in the Pa
cific, with the Hawaiian islands as the
objective point. General Macarthur said
firmly and positively: THAT is a matter
1 will in no way 5discuss. Y You must ex-
cuse me-
In relation to his trip the general said:
Il made a very thoTo investigation of the
island of Oahu and have sent to Wash
ington complete report of my ideas for
the defense and establishment of fortifica-
tions; also a number of posts ! thought ad-
visable to establish. The trip was most
instructive and invaluable. The wealth Of
the country surprised me, and particularly
was I aStonished at the enormous planta-
tionS.'

Lyceun1-"An Innocent sInner.u

The temperance of Miss Grace Hay
ward and the reformation Of Miss Maisie
Cecil brought joy last night to the hearts
Of Lyceum patrons. Miss Hayward, who
retired from the Ferris Stock company
several months ago becfuse Of Ill health,
was welcomed with prolonged, emphatic
applause. She appears more colnely than
ever. Miss Cecil, who yielded last week
for the first time during her tleckless

again the pinnacle of propriety and white

November was another good month in
the foreign trade. The figures footed up
S. 900 900 more than for November, 1909.
Coming after October, which was the best
month but one in the history Of the coun-
try's foreign trade, this increase is de-
ciqedly encoura ging. For the eleven
months ending with November, the for
eign trade was $4,000 900 larger than last
year. curious fact about the November
exports was that notwithstanding all the
talk Of dumping steel manufactures
abroad, there was no increase IN the ex-
portations Of steel.

In another column on this page will be
found an interesting excerpt from signi-
ficant article in the st. Paul Globe. SINH
lar articles are appearing in other demo-
cratic papers. There seems to be a gene
era1 disposition to fall in line with the
new tariff policy which John Sharp Will
-liams has promulgated for his party. Our
Washington correspondent has made this
policy familiar to our readers. It consists
simply In adopting the reciprocity idea and
combining with it a moderate revision OF
the tariff, based on the idea that this
country Is indefinitely committed. to pro-
lection: This is a policy that is calculated
to- make a maximum number Of friends
and minimum number Of enemies. It
will be, moreover. difficult policy for the
republicans to oppose, because they
fathered it, even if they have not fos-
tered it. : org
