 Right and Wrong Thinking and Its Results" by Aaron Martin Crane, 12mo, cloth, with gold stamping' gilt top, 36S pages. Published by Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co.,, Boston.
 In this book Mir. Crane has made a very striking and deep presentation of the teachings of Jesus, applying them with great power and clearness to the scientific development and thought of the age.
 Although MT. Crane may be a com paratiye stranger to the editorial sane tum, for years he has ranked among the leaders in advanced thought, al- ways standing for independence and tion. He has Iectured before learned professors who have found his logic unassailable, and the practical appli- cation of the principles he taught of immense advantage; and the same truths presented to those of narrower vision have been stepping-stOnes to a happier, better life. In the wide cir ele of his pupils and endOrsers are some of the foremost thinkers, writers, and religious teachers of the day. His printed essays have attracted wide at- tention, and there has been g. constant demand for more extended work from his pen.
 Rev. Dr. Heber Newton says of him: He is an able man, a strong thinker and a clear teacher, He is what is more than all, a rarely good man of the deepest personal piety, and the most entire conscientiousness in follow ing his Master. I have drawn from him much help in what is commonly regard ed as the special aim of this thought; but far more help of purely spiritu- al kind-far more from him than from most any one with whom I have come in contact of late. regard his instruc- lions of the highest value in deepening the inner life."
 The propositions which are disclosed and advocated in the book are as fol- lows:
 x Mind is foremost in rank among the essentials of mans constitution.
 Mind action, which is thinking, Is first in the order of occurrence through out all of mans activeness.
 All thinking may be divided into two distinct classes the harmonious and the discordant.
 As consequence follows cause. so all thinking is followed by bodily action of some kind.
 The bodily action is always of the same character as the thinking which caused 1t.
 This being true, then, it is also true that by the action of mind all other actions of men are controlled.
 Since mans actions are of the same character as his thinking, therefore the exclusion from his mind of all discord- ant thoughts would prevent the occur renee of discordant bodily actions or conditions.
 To allow discordant thinking would result in discordant bodily action. This is disease.
 The exclusion of discordant thinking and the cultivation of harmonious thinking would result in harmonious bodily action. This is health.
 To allow discordant and immoral thinking would result In discordant and s immoral actions. This Is the creation of bad character and conduct.
 Exclusion of discordant and immoral thinking would prevent the occurrence of discordant and immoral actions, and cultivation of harmonious and moral thinking would result in harmonious and moral action. This Is the creation of correct moral conduct and charac- ter.
 Man may control the action of his mind and his mind controls all his oth- CT actions; therefore, by this control of his mind he may have complete mas- tery of himself
 Consequently man may make of him. self whatsoever he chooses, morally, mentally and physically; therefore, if he chooses, he may so control himself as to become absolutely perfect.
 On the foregoing fundamental prin- ciples as a scientific basis rests many of the ethical precepts of Jesus, the Christ; and an understanding of these principles will show the reasonableness of those precepts, and the method by which they may be carried out in prac- tice. The book is one which from it's heipfulrtess and common sense will at once Interest good many readers, and deserves success on account of the good 1t can and will do.
