 As Julian Hawthorne well says ln hIs preface to this book of noble verse, '1t is stranie.that the Christian world should have been in need of just such book as this that after nineteen hundred years or Christianity VIC should lack simple and straight-for- ward reafiirmation of the truth of the faith"
 Mr. Crcels faith, the simple unques- lioning creed of tho early Christians inspired every line His is the vision of both prophet and poet
 Again star dawnr in the eastern sky, Again the startled shepherd lifls his
 AS waking from his midnight sleep The Ssmeis G2Is ot thc wise Men sweeping
 py.'
 This Rubalyat contains no pagan , verse. Instead, 1t tells tho story of the souls belief in Christ, and describes q vision of the Christ ideal as 1t may he lived in this very present world The author sometimes voices ones own im- prlsoned and uueXprcssed thought. This new poet seems a real interpreter of tho religious life.
 Think you that He who wakes the From where it siceps with death be-
 meath the mead,
 Wlll coldy let his imaged children TO EotGingness, and pay no further
 heel2'
 The tone Of the poem throughout is lofty, sincere reycrent, peyer controy- crsial simply a glad confident paean of an assured faith, Tho verses have 2 perfection of structure and an Innate melody that is only too rare today. | fn it's pure blue covers With their simple vet appealing inlaid design in black and white, gold and green ihe little book is 3 perfect pocket volume, delight 10 the eye as well as to tho mind here is something suggestive of tho rare old missals in tho pages of heavy Sarathmore deckle-edsc antique paper, on which the initialed stanzas arc printed In Bookman old style tyne, Maltese crosses in blue lending a warmer touch 10 tho severe beauty oi tho typography
