 It is a book which has been rightly described as scientifically sensational. The reader having opened the book will not willingly lay it down till the last w L. Alden in New York Times writes or L0lS femarkaDIG DOCK:

 "A Lamb to the Slaughter. ."--Books of the Far East are blossoming on the air thick as violets in April with the outcome of the Japanese-Russian war.
 In "The Lamb to the Slaughter the missionary political and economic prob- lems of Japan, Korea and China are set forth in the experiences of Helen Mall colm, an American missionary of great beauty of person and character.
 The scene Is placed in the very territory in which the present war Is to be waged. The scenes of the naval and military conflicts between Japan and China, which may be re-enacted between Japan and huSSla, are Bfdpnlcaiiy deScrlDeu. Ine book, though in the form of fiction, Is the record of the authors personal observa- tions and experiences during a six years residence among the peoples and locali- ties described.
 It will appeal to those readers who are eagerly looking for everything pertaining to the Orient
 The book lacks artistic finish, but is full of matter of real interest.
 The love story that begins with boy and girl affection in a little Northwestern town, comes to a satisfactory end when the lover has won his place in Congress and the little sweetheart has been through trying years as missionary in Korea. As in life love is a game of loss and gain, so in the story Congressman Conner wins what bold Captain Cristy has lost and yet given his life to save in that terrible uprising of the Boxers.
 The end of the Captains bold career is spiritedly told.
