The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-09-04

Blanchard, whom he loves, Is too fond
of success to own her love for man
who has apparently failed In the very
beginning, so he is deprived Of his
prospects and the sympathy Of his
sweetheart in one day. But nothing
daunted Mather, makes up his mind
to work hard, bide his time and wait
for the public to discover that he has
been undone by the dishonest methods
of Ellis. Judith is introduced to the
latter and becomes fascinated by his
energy and success. Through her he
receives somewhat Of social recogni-
ton which his soul longs for, al
though the set to which he aspires al
ways treats him as an interloper. For
a time Ellis rides on the crest Of the
wave and it would seem that Mather's
day would never come, but at last
Ellis falls into his own trap and goes
down to defeat. Mather finds out that
Judith had loved him all the time and
the book ends in the proper manner
with the villain foiled. Mr.. French s
story Is interesting, well told and
should take first rank among modern
stories Of American life.
Jesus Of Nazareth-The Amounted of God.
By P. Cook, M. A. The Fleming H.
Reven company. For sale by st. Paul
Book and Stationery company.
The writer of this book says in his
preface: Our aim has been to give
In as brief a space as possible con-
nected and vivid account of the life and
teachings of our Lord, presenting Him
as he appeared to his friends and dis
ciples, rather than in his significance
for doctrinal theology"
The book is an attempt on the part
of the writer to put in simple colloquial
language the four gospels and to ex-
plain what he considers some obscuri-
ties of scripture phrases. 1t is a mar
ration of the, life of Christ in plain
language and is especially prepared for
evangelical Sunday schools. The book
is we'll written and may be of assist
ance to those for whom it was in
tended.
Rhymes of Robert RexdaIe-The Fleming
II. Revell company. For sale by st.
Paul Book and Stationery company.
There are some very pretty verses
in this collection by Mr.. Rexdale, who
seems to have a natural gift for poetry.
He writes of love, Of war, of the
beauty Of nature and Of the blessings
Of faith. One Of the best of his verses
is the following:
If death should come,
0 Soul
Though some heart ache because thine
own is stilIed,
Say not that all life's rarest wine is
spilled,
A new tomorrow, with its glad surprise,
More sweet than light that shines In
Womans eyes,
Would hall thee comrade in the spirit
land
And thou needst mourn the loves of
Earth no morei
o Soul, the lotus flower is at thine hand:
Why longer toll and pull the heavy oar?

ness,
Nor king could ask for more, nor beggar
crave for less.
How a Little Girl Went TO AfrIca-By
Leona NJ Bicknell. Lee e. Shepard.
Boston. For sale by st. Paul Book and
Stationery company.
Children have hitherto had to be
content with such books as grown-up
people wrote for them, but now a
bright little girl of unusual opportunt-
ties in the way of travel has, at the
age of ten. written a book to tell other
children of journey of remarkable in
terest. She accompanied her father
and mother, who went to do mission
airy work among the LuluS in South
Africa, and the breaking out OF the Boer
war added not only excitement but
danger to her interesting experiences.
In simple style the little author tells
with remarkable descriptive power of
the Atlantic voyage, the sights in Lon
don, the longer voyage to Cape Town,
the residence and travels among
strange and singular peoples, and the
return. So well is the little authors
work done that Eliza H. Morton, the
well known author of "Mortons Geog-
raphies." who contributes the introduce
ton, recommends the work for all
school libraries. The illustrations de-
serve special mention. There are no
less than twentyfour full-page pic
lures, nearly all reproduced from pho
tographs Of very interesting scenes In
