in the Shadow of God"

By Guy Arthur Jameson. Published by Z. F.
Fenno x Co. New York. Price 81.
IN the Shadow of God" is a story
dominated by one man. Marvin Gar
ner, the hero, is son of the western
plains. His parents are deeply religious
people OF the most orthodox type.
Once in Marvin's infancy he was i'll
nigh unto death; the bishop came TO
comfort the poor parents and prayed
fervently. Father. spare the life of this
babe. and If it is thy will call him into
thy holy ministry" The child's life was
spared and the mother dreamed always
that he would grow up and become a
minister.
The boys taste is for art, and he
tries, in a crude, unframed way. to ex-
press his feelings on canvas. He goes
10 the city TO study, receives no en-
cOuragement and returns out of spir-
it's At this time his mother tells him
of her wish and prayer The boy. low
ing her devotedly, decides TO follow
her advice. He becomes minister I'm
time and has charge OF a small church
in a frontier town. He paints at odd
times for his own pleasure and II
proves his downfall The picture, a
nude. is seen and a delegation Of
bigoted, uneducated farmers wait upon
him.
In the course of time he is asked to
leave for immortality. full picture of
Marvin's life is given at the same time,
showing all the temptations which have
been spread in his path and how sue
cessfully he has resisted them, making
the contrast to the decision reached by
the narrowminded judges more forcible.
The experiences make him very bit
ter and in the end drive him abso-
lutely away from religion. He curses
God and lives only for his art Love
comes into his life and softens his
heart, but he does not go back to the
ministry. This fact will make the
orthodox condemn the book-it surely
places them in most unpleasant light.
Such narrowness and cruelty are found
nowhere outside the church
The book is full of good ideas, but
is poorly written. the hand of the anna
teur showing through the work from
beginning to end; but it is written with
a purpose and may reach some whom
it will benefit.

1t is not too much to say that Mr..
Churchill has done the most finished
work of his career in "A Modern Chron-
icle,' the latest novel from his versa
tile pen. 1t is a strong temptation to
call 1t the great Americal novel, for
no book of recent years has so fully
answered ali the requirements of that
long watched for work While it is a
great romance it is also a typical pic
ture of American life and its many
careful character studies are all photo
graphic in their fidelity to the compli-
Gated American personality.
"A Modern Chronicle" tells the story
of the first 80 years in the life of Hon
ora Leffingwell and is remarkable in
the completeness of detail and reserve
of trivialities. 1t is almost incredible
that this lovely heroine can undergo

author takes her, and come out un-

ence Of the Incompatible" his grand
daughter, keeps him balanced. This
old mans character is painted as so
sweetly unselhsh, so self-sacriheing, so
entirely admirable, that it is hard to
believe that he is the villain OF an
episode so dreadful relating to war
days that even the lover of the In
comparable" trembles at the thought of
hearing it. The heart of the story is
in the climax, which is dramatic and
beautiful and entirely satisfying. It is
as artistic as it is clever. and the
author deserves the praise he is sure
TO receive from all critics.
The reader who runs upon this book

watch eagerly for more work from the

"The Red House on
Rowan Street"

BY Roman Doubleday. Published by Little,
Brown & Co. Boston. Price $3.50
Any reader who enjoys a mystery
story will simply revel in The Red
House on Rowan Street" by Roman
Doubleday, for it really mystifies, is
clean and wholesome throughout and
full of healthy excitement
Hugh Burton is self-sacrificing
young man, willing to cross half the
continent to plead with the lovely
young Leslie Underwood to reconsider
her refusal of Philip Overman, Bur-
tons friend. Overman is pining away
with a slow fever, the result of Les
lies treatment of him, and his frantic
mother begs Burton's help. When Bur-
where the Underwoods live, he finds
himself at once in the midst of thrill
ing mystery. The paper of the day
contains this extraordinary announce
ment:
ITO whom it may concern: Having
been informed that there is a re-
port abroad to the effect that, as a
masked highwayman. L robbed Orton
Selby on Crescent terrace last Friday
evening, 1 beg to state to my friends
and the public that the report is with
out foundation in fact. l never robbed
Mr.. Selby or any one else, either as a
masked highwayman or as an attend
ing physician, and l defy anybody and
everybody to prove anything to the
contrary. Roger Underwood, NJ D."
When Burton calls upon the Under
woods to deliver his messags he finds
an atmosphere of mystery quite in
keeping with the doctors strange be-
havior. But, he is at once so smitten
with the charm and beauty of Leslie
that, not only does he find it difficult
to plead Philips case, but he instantly
takes sides with the Underwood fam
lily against the town and immediately
begins operations to solve the mystery
of the strange prosecutions which pur-
sue the Underwood family.
The author succeeds admirably in
working up our sympathy and interest
to the breaking point, and when he
solves the riddle at last our surprise
and delight is complete. The book is
well illustrated by William Kirkpat
rick, late of London, England, and is
excellently printed and bound. The
book is a sure cure for the blues and
that tired feeling.

she dominates every situation, every
page. and not for a moment would

There are pages, whole chapters of
bright conversation, but they are not
more interesting than the descriptive
portions. 1t is Mr.. Churchilrs most
profound work and places him in the
front rank of the novelists of the day
The book mechanically deserves
praise; it is illustrated by j. II. Gardner
Soper, who has filled the text with
hundreds of little pencil sketches much
better than anything seen in the way

public with The Philosophy of FrieI-

introduction:
There is no need at this late day to

thoughts from Nietzsche. His prin-
cipal ideas have been making great
progress since his death, and it is no
eXagseration to say that many of them
have found acceptance. at second hand,

aware of their author, save as vague

a few of Nietzsches most interesting
sayings are arranged under general
headings They show, of course. moth

of ratiocination, but only his conclu-
sions."

under which they are classed are Mo

riage,' "Parenthood,' Women" Lib
erty," Labor" Progress" Faith"
Patriotism" Beauty" Art" Death .
and many others.
The little book will be a pleasure
to Nietzsche lovers and students, for
the quotations have been selected by a
man who has given much time and
thought to his study of the great phi
losopher. The book is artistically
bound and printed in fine large type.

When you hear the pessimists of the
day bewailing the good old time when
real poets were abroad in the land and
we were not forced to read penny "a
liners do not fail to quote to him
almost anything written by Gale Young
Rice, a real poet, writing today-and
all who have read him are thankful.
This newest collection of his poems
shows that he has either been travelling
in the far east or at least interesting
himself in things oriental, and the
result goes to show how much more a
poet sees in strange lands and peoples
than does the everyday layman. The
first poem in the book, AIS Well"
is quoted entire. for it would mar its
beauty to omit a line:
The illimltable leaping Of the sea,
The mouthing OF his madness to the moon,
The seethng OF his endless sorcery,
His prophecy no power can attune
Swept over me as. ON the sounding Prov
OF a great ship that stcered into the stars,
] stood and felt the upon my brow
OF death and destiny and all that mars.
The wind that blew from Cassiopeia cast
Wanly upon my ear a rune that rung;
The sailor In his eyrie on the mast
Sang an 'All's wel' that to the spirit cung
Like a lost voice from some aerial realm
Where ships sail on forever to shore,
Where Time gives Immortality the helm,
And fades like far phantom from lifes door.
Ill
And is all well, o Thou Unwearable
Launcher Of worlds upon bewildered space,
Rose in me- ''All? or did Thy hand grow dull
Building this world that bears pireous race
II launched too soon or launched too late
Or can IL be derelct that drifts
Beyond thy ken toward some reef of Fate
On while Oblivion's sand forever shifts -
".
The sea grew softer as / questioned-calm
With mystery that like moved,
And from inhnity there fell balm
The old peace that God IS. tho all improved.
The ola that tho CUFFS sldereal stun
The soul, and knowledge drown within their
There is no world that wanders, no, not one
OF all the millions that He does not keep.
In the prayer of The Barren
Women" of Benares there is a sadness
which in the last verse is profound
despair:
Woe there is naught but ashes
Now, and the weepers CO.
Lone ON the CHAT they leave me, lone,
With but the Rivers flow.
Kali | ask not jewels
Nor justice, beauty shrift,
But for the lowest woman's right

Is there a more perfect or more
typical poem descriptive of the Ameri-
can character than The Man of
Might? 1t is complete in the four
lines:
No moment dropped between his thoughts and
action,
No morrow died between his dream and deed.
Within his soul there fatal faction
That could betray him in his hour Of need.
The poem. "Typhoon," is perhaps the
strongest in the book. Mr.. Rice i'm
parts a wildne4 and a ruggedness in
some mysterious way, while using the
simplest of language. He has done so
much splendid work one can scarcely
praise him too highly. Open this book
anywhere and something will please:

war, religion, all are there, and each
and all worth reading.
