BY the Preside.

Pastor Charles Wagner either had we'll
stocked barrel when he was discovered or
he is rapid writer. This is his third
book dealing with things of the spirit that
has appeared within year. The latter
suggestion is the mere likely, for much
that he says is too obvious to be interest
ing. and he is colorless in expression, both
of which peculiarities come from too little
concentration and too much endeavor TO
cover a wide field. Nevertheless, there is
much of good common sense i'm what he
writes. much intelligent discrimination in
morals, and much of the kindness and
sturdiness that, combined, make the ideal
pastor. The following quotation is char
acteristic: II agree that good humor is
less imposing than the cordial virtues, and
yet. what are they all together unless
touched by ray of its beneficcnt light
Do you picture the saints as enveloped in
gloom? If they were So and had TO de-
pend upon me. they should never have
been canonized. / would put good humor
in the ranks Of the virtues; for there are
days when to be good-humored requires
nothing less than entire trust in God and
great love for man. with energy, prompti-
tude and a little fine malice to boot. >"

The Philippines and the Far East.

The author of this book, Homer c. Stuntz,
believes with Senator Beveridge that Deity
worked through the American nation to es-
tablish the kingdom of Righteousness i'm the
Philippines Consequently he has detailed
in this book the matters which American
voters and Christians should know for their
guidance in shaping the policies of the Ma
ton with respect to the Philippines and i'm
furnishing support for missionary societies
Notwithstanding this ponderous purpose
the book is filled with interesting informa-
ton for those who do not happen to hear
the voice of duty calling loud. 1t deals
with the friar question. the government sit
uation, social order the resources of the
islands. missionary and educational mat
tiers and other concerns eff Importance 10 all
who are interested in our new island pos
sessions. While Mr.. Stuntz's style and
manner of treatment of the subject are not
the most happy. he has produced a book
that none who is i'm search of information
i'm this line afford TO miss. 1t gives the
viewpoint of an energetic Christian gentle
man and minister of the gospel. The book
is handsomely and literally illustrated

The Life of Frederic william Farrar.

There two kinds of scholars, those
of the intensive order whose function is
original research, and those of the extern
sive order, whose function it is to interpret
and make available the labors of the
former order. TheolOgians are of the first,
and the best preachers of the second order.
The late dean of Canterbury was of the
latter order, and in estimating him and
his writings he must be measured by the
standard of his class. 1t may be fairly
said that his son and biographer, Reginald
A. Farrar, has accomplished a fair meas
urement of the father and that he has
written one of the best biographies of the
year He has written of Dean Farrar in
a spirit of loving reverence, but he has
discussed the criticism of his father with
"a fairness that must appeal to the reader,
whatever may be the readers precon-
ceived notions.
The writings of Dean Farrar have been
popular in America we'll in England,
particularly the Life of Christ" popular
life not a learned book. but such as a
man who had the best religious instincts
would write-a book written in the service
of the mass of humanity, the simple and
unearned people. 1t will be recalled that
at the time Of his visit TO America in 1885.
Farrar became very popular with Ameri-
cans, fulfilling the prophecy made previ-
ously by Dean Stanley that IF Canon
Farrar should ever visit this country he
would create a furore; he is exactly the
kind of man that would suit Americans"
A service the visit of Farrar did for Amer
leans to make demand in Boston
for the works of Robert Browning whence
started the Browning craze which has al
most settled down to a calm and genuine
appreciation of the English poet of hui
manism. Not half-dozen copies of
Browning had been sold in Boston during
the year previous to Farrars visit but the
morning after his lecture on Browning
every copy of Browning in Boston was in
immediate demand. Mr.. Browning was
grateful for the service and expressed his
gratefulness frequently to the dean. Dean
Farrar was pulpit orator of great power.
An American minister says of him: DIR.
Farrar was a prose poet His discourses
were frequent with the most beautiful
flowers of speech. 1t natural for him
TO speak with golden utterance with artis-
tic coloring and poetic effiorescence. At
the summit of his power he turned fear
lessly to repudiate the doctrine of the
church against a hell where souls were
confined in everlasting torment For this
he is remembered the preacher of
eternal hope" The story of Dean Farrar's
| life is interesting memory and a note
worthy human document for the laity as
well as the clergy. Thomas Y. Crowell &

no longer unique For Professor Lounsbury
concludes his book on The Standard of
Pronunciation in English with the words
There is rot and never can be a standard

words, until the spelling of every English
word carries with II its own pronunciation
there can never be an infallible guide The

no small share of our lives will be spent
in the profitable and exciting occupation Of

profitable and equally exciting discussion
of the pronunciation Of particular words
and in airing our opinions and delivering
our decisions upon points about which one

the situation has not changed in a century

gives an interesting history; each has been

the men of Gilead anticipated their de-

of the Jordan. And 1t was So" continues
the Bible story, that when those Ephraim-
ties which were escaped said let me go
over, that the men of Gilead said unto him,
Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said nay;
then said they unto him. Say now Shib-
boleth; and he said Sibboleth; for he could
not frame to pronounce it right. Then they
took him, and slew him at the passages of
Jordan; and there fell at that time of the
Ephraimites forty and two thousand"

last year in New York at the Casino, will
be the attraction at English's this even
ing. The piece was put on at the popular
theater on Broadway for the purpose of
a diverting entertainment during
the heated term. and it was generally con-
ceded to be the best summer show in New
York. Messrs Shubert, Nixon and Zim-
herman spent a great deal of money in
their efforts to make the production the
finest thing of the kind ever offered TO
the blase New Workers, the costumes and
scenery having cost something like $4,000.
The story of THE Runaways'' was writ

costuming, and the producers have made
the most of their opportunities to present
a brilliant spectacle.

Though summer seems a long way off
this kind of weather. the summer novel is
more hardy than the grounding and puts
in an early appearance. Mr.. Halliwell
Sutcliffe has written story that, on ac-
count of its idyllic nature and it's restful-
ness and charm of style, will make pleas
ant addition to reading matter for summer
outings. There is a subtle merriment per-
vading the story and a simplicity of struc-
ture that make its perusal easy and de-
lightful. The Already of this bachelor is
a small farm down by a quiet river Here
the bachelor works, when he likes, goes
hunting, or takes long tramps, living un-
oppressed by social duties. He takes care
to avoid womankind. for he believes that
among them lies the secret of unrest But
the eternal feminine with her irresistible
qualities puts in an appearance and the
philosophy OF the bachelor undergoes
rapid change. The novel is without prob
lem or purpose. save TO entertain. an aim
in which it has succeeded admirably This
