LITERARY NOTES

erratic novelist whom the author has
endowed with an earning capacity of
thirty thousand a year, and John
Cobbs, a subscription edition solicitor
commonly known as a book agent.
Lady Gwendolyn is the prize according
to Cobbs' idea of things, and the
thought of freedom from work as her
husband speeds him to attack her
heart. 1t proved somewhat impregna-
BILE. but Cobbs has the quality of per-
sistence we'll instilled in his makeup,
due to his business training. The fair
Gwendolyn exacts some remarkable
stunts from John to prove his love,
most of them being extremely ridicu-
lous. His friends cooperate with her
in adding to the absurdity of each sit
uation. The love affairs of several
other young people are almost as anus
ing as that of the principals.
As a Chinaman Saw Us. Passages
from His Letters to a Friend at
Home. New York: D. Appleton &
Co. Price $3.50.
The authorship is anonymous, for
prudential reason, the preface assures
us. The Chinaman is alleged to have
spent twenty years in America. Dur
ing this time he saw many sights that
were strange to celestial eyes, and
heard MANY things that were novel
droll or incomprehensible from the
Asiatic point of view. We Occidentals
| find things in China to be topsy-turvy:
| the educated Chinaman in America
| finds things no less at skies and sew
ems. according to his way of thinking
| We think of John" as something OF
an anthropological joke; and we find
when he tells the truth about us, that
| he thinks us almost too funny for any
| thing.
| The quotations are naive, crisp, de-
| lightful. They make us feel that we
as people are fresh from the oven
! and only half baked. A New York
society woman told the Chinese writer
/ of the letters, with great show OF
pride. that she could trace her ances-
! try back 500 years. The Chinaman. in
turn, informed her that his family tree
was complete with never a break, fol
! 2,400 years. She arched her brows and
said. Indeed" in a tone that told the
! Chinanan plainly she thought he was
| fibbing!
Our astute and entertaining Chinese
! friend, the author, seems to have run
| the whole gamut of American affairs
In his criticisms. He has given us
eighteen chapters In 324 pages, each
chapter and page containing it's quaint
! philosophy and droll comparisons. The
! chapters are devoted to the Americans
the American man, American customs
! American women. customs, the press
doctors. literature. politics, religion
sports, etc. The observations and com
ments are always clear and as inva-
riably incisive OF pungent. II will dc
! the American good to note how he IL
viewed through the spectacles OF an in
| telligent "hesthen."

POWERS THAT BE

WHY THERE WAS NO CONFLICT
EVANGELIST KENNEDY AND REV,
DR. WILLIAMS CONFERRED.

Evangelist Kennedy Had Been In
vited Out of Mayors Office, After
Spirited Debate, and Intended De-
flying Authorities by Preaching OH
streets-Wnnted support of DIR,
WilIlams-QuOted From PRrn BILE
of the Great supper and DIR. VIII
I lihms Answered With Scripture.
Go out into the highways and
hedges and compel them to come in"
Evangelist Victor Kennedy to Rev. A.
NJ. Williams, pastor of the Church OF
the Open Door.
Let every soul be subject unto the
higher powers. For there is no power
but OF God: the powers that be are or
dained of God.
"Whosoever therefore resisteth the
power, resisteth the ordinance of God:
and they that resist shall receive to
themselves damnation:" Rev. Or.
Williams reply.
It has developed that a conference
held some days ago between Evange-
list Victor Kennedy-who sprang into
the public gaze, by having words with
Mayor Myers, and announcing he would
not again be Mayor of Savannah-and
Rev. DR.. A. NJ. Williams, was proba-
bly, responsible for the fact that the
evangelist failed to make good his
threat to preach on the street corners
in defiance of the police.
1t will be remembered that EVange-
list Kennedy left the Mayors Office aft
er a spirited debate, and not before he
was invited out. 1t was his expressed
intention to defy the city authorities,
and the Mayor instructed the superin-
tendent of police to have the street
preacher arrested if he attempted to
preach on the streets. Since then the
police have been keeping close watch
for the evangelist. but without avail.
And now it transpires that he called
upon DR.. Williams and undertook to
secure his aid in the row that was on
with the city authorities. But DIR.
Williams would take no hand in the
affair. it has been learned, although he
states he was favorabiy impressed with
the young evangelist and believes
he is sincere. The two had long talk
and went over the ground thoroughly.
But they did not agree in all the mat
ters that were under discussion.
Evangelist Kennedy insisted that
the Good Book teaches it is right and
proper to go into the highway and
hedges and preach the word of God.
He waxed rather eloquent on the sub
ject and quoted from the parable of
the great supper. 1t was then that Dr.
Williams quoted from Romans to show
Subsection, and many other duties,
we owe to the magistrates.
The evangelist wanted DR.. Williams
to assist him in the fight which he then
seemed determined to make. but DIR.
Williams declared that ordinances
would have to be obeyed. He said he
could not use his influence in a fight
of the kind proposed, and urged upon
the evangelist that the Scripture COM
mands that the laws be obeyed. That
the strict scriptural quotation won
over the quotation from the parable, is
evidenced by the fact that Evangelist
Kennedy has not given the authorities
the trouble he had led them to believe
they would have.

That SandhilIer. BY Malbina Sarah
Warning. New York: The Neale
Publishing Co. Price $3.50
The success of Mrs. Warnings former
effort, 1.-THE Lion Share" leads the
public to expect much of THAT Sand
hitler" The narrative is strong, and
full of the fire often lacking in the
attempts of gentle writer's to portray
mems passions midst love and battle;
but the author is rather weak In the
negro dialect, which runs through the
story, and in one instance through
several chapters. A dramatic final
is very cleverly handled, and leaves
the reader with tingling nerves at the
finish.

at popular price places it within the
easy reach of every reader.

The story of this quaint old couples
remarkable journey from the rural

fascinating romance, bubbling over
with fun. The book contains no end
of interesting facts pertaining to the
Great Fair and the many cities the
old couple visit, presented in an un-
obtrusive, but alluring manner.

Florida, assisted by Bishop Weed, con-
secrated his son in like manner to the
holy ministry of the Episcopal Church.
In these days such impressive scenes
are not often witnessed. and 1 am not
surprised that Rev. DR.. Schaeffer sa-
luted his son with holy kiss as he en-
tered fully upon the ministry. Only
such a father can know the great Joy
that fills parents heart on such an
occasion. The scene so impressed me

And mid all conflicts, toll and wee,
His loving presence gave them cheer.

And by the labors of that band,
Millions were saved from endless
