OUR LITERARY TABLE

The Catholic Truth society of San Francisco
is handling the popular edition Of Cardinal New
mans "Apologia" which has been published by
Longmans Green & Co. It is to be hoped that the
famous work will have a great circulation now
that it has appeared at popular price. 1t ranks
with the Confessions of st. Augustine as a re-
ligious autobiography and it will always remain as
a masterpiece of the English language. 1t is the
reply of Cardinal Newman to the erratic DIR. Kings
ley, who accused him of bad faith. The cardinal
knew that he was regarded with suspicion By many
of his countrymen after his conversion and he felt
that the only way TO remove that suspicion and
to repudiate the charges of DIR. Kingsley was by
telling in plain language the entire story of his re-
ligious opinions and his struggle for truth And
when the story appeared in installments, 1t was
more generally read than any book of the day
Once for all the famous convert disspated the mist
of suspicion which hung over him
The book has aided many a soul struggling for
the truth 1t is a work to be read by Catholics and
to be placed in the hands of non Catholics.
