Treasure Seekers of the Andes" BY
Edward Stratemeyer. Lothrop, Lee "
Shepard Company. Boston. Reviewed for
the EVENING STAR by a boy of II.
Do you like exploring? If you do, you
had better read the Treasure Seekers OF
the Andes"
One night while on board a ship one
of the boys in the story found a Spanish
document relating to a hidden treasure IN
the mountains. He and his companions
found out that the one who wrote the
document had died some time ago, and,
as he had no relations. the treasure be-
longed to the person who found it. Three
of the boys did not take much interest In
Ii but the other two wished very much to
look it UP. After some days these two
set off to hunt for this treasure. They
had many thrilling experiences on their
way, but at last they came to what they
thought must be the right place. 1t was
night then, and in the morning they went
to explore it. They oun 1t contained
gold, and silver monuments, an urn filled
with gold and silver, and a small jar
filed with precious stones and jewels. In
the meantime the others became anxious
about them and set out to hunt for them.
They found them in a few days, and they
all explored the cave still further. One
of the boys found some more jewels and
gold. And In the end their find altogether
was worth fifteen thousand dollars or
more. They also had many adventures in
the dense jungles before they went on
their treasure hunt. All the boys who
have read Mr.. Stratemeyer's books know
that this will be a good one. Mr.. Strate-
meye lives in Newark.

a Ball Of Yarn: Its Unwinding." By
Robert Budd Whiting. Paul Elder & Co.
New York.
There is nothing tangled about this little
volume except the truth. Dedicated 10
"Ananias, Sapphire. Baron Munchausen
and some others I know" the author
probably felt he had a right to use his
Imagination as much as he wanted to. He
certainly succeeded, and the result is a lot
OF laughable, absurdly ridiculous yarns,
which are spun briefly, but are as funny as
they are terse. If you want a laugh It's
here. There's the tale OF the Breath
Bound Village" for instance. when it was
so cold on one occasion when a house was
afre that the water froze as it came from
the nozzle of the hose and an old woman
with her pet cat slid down the frozen
stream to friends and safety below
Then there's the yarn of the Blind Ball
Tosser.'' whose smell was so acute that
he could tell when the ball was pitched to
him. Some of the other yarns unwound
deal with 1.-THE Inventive Vamp," THE
Two-Tailed Pointer THE Human Lou
vre,'' Football Fantastic "The Brawny
Batsman," 1.-THE Sinner Stung,' etc. They
are told by various men seated around an
~old-fashioned country store and each tries
to Guido the other in telling the most I'M
probable one. The book is illustrated IN
colors by Merle Johnson.

Sir Gilbert Parker first conceived the
idea of The Weavers'' ten years ago. He
did not begin to write the book until six
years afterwards. Then he occupied -four
years in the work. completing it last year,
and from that moment until its publication
last September continued to revise and pol
ish the pages as they came to his hands.
On account of this precision of work Sir
Gilbert accuses himself of being an expen-
sive author from the publishers point of
view, but it is doubtful whether the Har-
pers would agree with him, in view OF
the popularity of his books.

many answers. If 1t is necessary TO be-
lieve them all, then salvation is impossi-
ble because many of the answers are
like polar opposites, hopelessly contradic-
tory. One section of the Christian church
declares that the historic Jesus and God
are Identical that there is no distinction
to be observed or admitted At the other
extreme is another section of the church
which holds that Jesus was wholly hui
man and usual except for the fact that
he was endowed with unusual spiritual
perception and power. Midway between
these extremes are other sections which
present many intermediate phases of be-
lief, the principal one being that Jesus
was a divine intermediary whose mission
was to manifest God to man. In view of
the fact that at least two of these are
necessarily wrong, is it irreverent to ask
what must man believe in order to be
saved?
The Indication that Jesus ever lived at
states that he was born of Mary. Inas-
much as God or Deity is infinite self
existence, without beginning or end, and
as the existence of God was anterior to
that of the Virgin Mary, or of our planet,
is there any rational modus by which a
person can reconcile reason to the aver
ment that she who was herself a phe-
nOmenon OF existence, was the mother,
the matrix, of infinity itself? Can man
know that infinity which is immortal was
Killed by the Jews? Can he know that
infinity was dead for three days and that
the universe during that time was with
out its basis, cause, law and rule, with
out the sustaining power and government
of God? These things being impossible
and unknowable, is it conceivable that he
can be saved by believing in an impossi-
bility? If Jesus was not God, wherein
then is the divinity of Christ? 1t has
been said that he was begotten of God
sent by or of God, and this ought to mean
that Jesus is the offspring, likeness or
manifestation of God.
The Divinity of Christ
1t is the mind which was in Christ that
is divine. This constitutes his divinity,
his Messiahship. his eternal, Godlike spirit
ual individuality 1t was thus that he
was endowed with the spirit without
measure. 1t was this mind that overcame

to be taken of every chance to entertain
