LATE MAGAZINES

what Is the Matter with the
Churches?" is answered by many
DISTINGUISHED men of many varying
creeds in the Delineator for October.
The question asked by Theodore Drel-
ser, the editor, has brought out re-
sponses that will be of widest inter-
est. The points of view of Cardinal
Gibbons and the Rev. Emil G. Hirsch,
D. D.; of the Rev. Charles H. Park
hurst. D. D.. and the Rev. Charles F.
Aked, D. D.; of the Rev. Shailer
Mathews, D. D., and Gypsy Smith diff
fer widely, yet each utters truths that
are most Illuminating.
One of the timely features of the
magazine is an article embodying the
"Recollections of Woman Campaign
er." by Minnie j. Reynolds, who tells
most amusingIy of her experiences
when she "stumped" Colorado as a
speaker sent out by one Of the po-
litical parties Rear Admiral Robley
d. Evans, retired, describes "The Most
Dramatic Event of My Life" with a
simple directness as characteristic as
it is convincing. Making the Homes
of the New Northwest" by F. G. Moor
head, an account of the success
achieved by pioneer women, is as en-
tertaining as a piece of fiction, for
romance and adventure are strangely
mingled on the frontier. Twenty gu
perintendents employed in twenty cities
point out Improvements / Would
Make in the Public Schools" and Ma
bel Potter Daggett describes THE De-
lineatorS Work for New York Babies. "
William Neil Smiths lesson in home
building for October is drawn from
France.
The second of Rudyard Kipling's
remarkable short stories, "a Doctor
of Medicine" leads the fiction of the
membered. "Twice as Many as Be
fore" by George L. Parker, is de-
lightful piece of fancy, and "The
Passing of Peter Meaken," by Will
liam Heyliger, has a peculiar charm.
THE Power and the Glory" Grace
MacGoWan Cookies fascinating serial,
is continued.
The Delineator is superbly illus
trated and beautifully printed. 1t is
a magazine that touches every line of
contemporary thought. 1t is stimulat-
ing and entertaining, and it makes an
appeal to every member of the family.
The Book Keeper, in justification Of
it's claim that it is a magazine for the
business man, has for its leading altl-
Gle in the September issue a graphic
description of '"rhe Big Game Para
disc of New Ontario" It's purpose is
to point the way to a few weeks of an
exhilarating pastime and wonderfully
satisfactory means of recuperation. The
business man needs rest. and recrea-
tion-in these strenuous days he must
have both or his physical and mental
resources will fail him long before
the appointed time. Mere amusement
does not meet the requirements. The
active, enthusiastic, seemingly tire
less hustler is permeated with en-
thusiasm and activity; this is the only
kind that will benefit him. 1t is TO
meet these requirements that this arti-
Gle was written by Mr.. Bames oliver
Curwood, the scope of which may best
be shown by' quotation from letter
written by Mr. Curwood when nego-
tiations for his article were in pro-

that among your many readers there
must be thousands of business ana
professional men who would love TO
go on a big game hunt if the under
