BOOK REVIEW

A book of special interest to KAN
sans is 1.-THE Great Plains" by Ran
dali Parrish, the well known novelist.
Randall Parrish is nothing If not "a
teller of stories. and he has found IA
congenial field, never fully occupied
until now. in "The Great Plains: The
Romance of Western American Ex-
ploration, Warfare, and Settlement,
1527-1870." The book has just been
published by A. C. McClurg & Co.
In recent years other writer's have
found pleasant and patriotic occupa-
ton in detailing one or more of the
features of the settlement of the
Great West; never before has the
entire story been told as a whole or
with adequacy, and confined within
the limits of single easily handled
volume.
Mr. Parrish knows the country of
which he treats at first hand, and one
at least, of his stirring romances has it's
scene in that vast region of grass
land and arid desert which extended
like an uncharted sea of green and
brown desolation between the valley
of the Missouri upon the north and
east, ana the foothills of the Rockies"
His early love for 1t has led him to the
careful reading of every book which
touches the theme. From one he OBJ
tains vividness and intimacy i'm
authenticit--. and completeness. Add
to that his natural abilities as a
writer. and Americans are at last en-
abled to read one of the greatest
chapters in their national history with
full understanding. x
The book opens with a careful de-
fnition of the Great Plains in which

in THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.
What the Church Folks Are Thinking About and Doing
80. Religious News From Everywhere.

I dent was that he had the assurance,
| LAS was with Moses. SO will be with
thee; will not fail thee nor forsaks
| thee" This sense of partnership with
| God is what makes the weakest strong.
1t is confidence and power. For in this
| firm the Senior Partner pledges his all
to stand behind the acts of his assoc
ciates.
A divine audacity is impaired to a
character by the knowledge that it is
actively cooperating with God. This
explains the sublime daring OF the
great reformers. It makes plain why
the world Is irresistible. Better than
to have an armed host at ones back
Is it to have the assurance, "Lo, I am
with you all the days" Paul is the
he had learned to say. "I can do all
things through Christ which strengths
eneth me-"
One other enabling was given to
Joshua. He was TO have the presence
OF Jehovah and also the revealed will
of Jehovah. A good soldier must
know his General Orders" So Joshua
was instructed. This book of the law
shall not depart out OF thy mouth, but
thou shalt mediate therein day and
night. that thou mayest observe to do
according to all that is written there
in; for then shalt thou make thy way
prosperous, and then thou shalt have
good success" Amid the days maxims
on success" this deserves a first place
as being of overmastering Importance.
Walk Gods way and work Gods way.
and failure Is impossible.
The Badge of leadership.
The keynote of this lesson Is found
in the thrice-repeated exhortation to
Joshua, BE thou strong and very
courageous" It seems as If Jehovah
were DINING into the new leaders
ears the supreme Importance of cour-
age. The Son of Him was no coward,
yet even he needed to be told, with
earnest iteration, that in the fighting
man, in the administrator and in the
leader, courage comes next in impor-
not do much with weak and fearful
man.
A good life rule is, when undecided,
do the more courageous thing. There
is never a day, and scarcely an. hour,
in even the Quietest life when the ex-
ercise of courage is not called for. The
amelioration of society's ills waits
more upon strength than upon sweet
ness Before we deal tenderly with
the PROSTATE let us deal bravely with
the men whose heels are upon their
necks. Before we give charity let us
be coura geous enough to give justice.
Before we abandon ourselves to pray
err over outward civic conditions, lee
us betake ourselves to work-not for
getting to pray the while. In all con-
ditions, let US exercise courage, and,
10. we shall find all other virtues
thriving the more. The Canaans of
the heart are conquered by fearless
ness.
