reader quicker than anything written outside of the Congressional Record Such books tell us entirely too much. In the first place about the cost of this and that. When we read a book of travels we assume that the traveller had enough money to make the trip and let it go at that; we don't care for sordid details-life is too short.
 In book of travels, be it collected letters or notes. 1t Is the impression of the people more than anything else that interests us. Descriptions of the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey Napoleon's Tomb In the Invalides and the like, are all very well, but not for books of travel. We get a guide book for that.

 Who Is 1t that ever visited the Tower of London that knew anything of what he saw, until he came home and read of what he has visited?
 All this is getting to MT. Poe's charming letters-which are different and pleasing; they are impressions made upon a discerning traveller and now given forth for the benefit of less fortunate readers.
 MT Poe, in his IA letters, tells us of impressions received in England and Scotland-how the people appeared and talked; glimpses of English life and customs. Of impressions in Belgium, Holland Germany-countries where everybody works, including father.

''The Persecution of Stephen Strong" by the Rev. c. F. Babcock, Ph. D. (Broad-
 way Publishing Co)
 In '"The Persecution of Stephen Strong" a minister of the gospel, in the form of letters addressed to My Sainted Mother In Heaven" tells of his experiences in the church.
 Dr. Babcock bases his book which is interesting and pleasing, upon number of facts, as he sees them. He believes that the secular and religious press of to- day is filled with bold criticisms of the church in which 1t is unhesitatingly stat ed that the church has lost it's power; that religious affairs are fast being rele- gated to the background
 Dr. Babcock believes that that which was preached and accepted a quarter of a century ago as to the dividing line be- tween the church and the world is now quite generally ignored, and that which was declared to be n-Christan and worldly is now quite generally accepted by the church going public. That the test of church prosperity seems to be based upon large congregations and plenty of money to foot the bills. Hence there arises the question, Who shall occupy the pulpits?
 Or, as Dr. Babcock puts it: "It is better stated to say that the superficial public must be consulted and dictate not only
  preaching shall be, and while they are about it they do not fail to fix the length of the sermon, and woe be to the preacher who dares to add five minutes to his stature beyond their% specified limit. Their method of reasoning seems proper to them since they have been made to feel that their wishes are dominant until they have come to the consciousness of ownership Fine churches, well dressed preachers and congregations and in many instances well filled houses. seem to be conclusive evidence that the Lord has suddenly come to His temple and claimed His own right in His sanctuary. But even a superficial! observer may see that He has not thus come"
 pr. Babcock Is of the opinion that it is sad comment upon church conditions today that an untold amount of wrong is covered in until the masses in the com munities look upon it all with mistrust.
 Leading ministers, and in the main good men," says Dr. Babcock Hook upon these wrongs and cry: Silence, silence silence, or we may do the cause of God incalculable harm And then ouota the scripture, I will keep my mouth as with a bridle while the wicked is before me-
 Men believe in God, the Bible eternal realities; they believe in a nre, paredness for the great realities that aye to come. They look into the churches and in too many instances men that ara bad-positively bad-are in the lead They are guilty ofSpublic wrongs and injustices and yet they invite you to their places of worship and would kneel down by your side and in mockery would pray God that you may be saved. even as they are We sincerely ask what these prayers do to help an honest soul pleading to be freed from sin?"

"Julie's Diary" A Personal Record.
 John W. Luce Co.)
 This reviewer doesn't recall when he has ever read prettier love story than that contained in "Julies Diary"
 As a general proposition we all agree that diaries as diaries should have some law applied against them. But "Julies Personal Record" Is gem-that is what 1t really is.
 The reader of newspaper will recall that when the attorney general of Tennessee, in prosecuting the night riders of his state for that Reelfoot affair of murder, asked one witness how did he happen to remember so well what he was relating on the stand 'Do you keep a diary?" Nothing doing.' quickly replied the wit ness, q don't keep or own one; I never even drove a milk wagon in my life; work on MT. Blanks farm" It can be seen that this witness recognized that there were other crimes worse than mis- stating facts on the stand.
 But if "Julie's Diary" is personal record, or if it isn't, 1t tells the sweetest love story you will come across in many a long day.
 A story told in the form of a diary re- quires, in the successful telling. some thing akin to genius. Whether the au- thor of "Julies Diary has genius is a question for the individual reader to de- eide. It is the opinion of this reviewer that the unknown writer comes within a short distance of undoubted talent, if not
