POPULAR CATHOLIC LITERATURE

The Reunion Of Christendom. By
Francis Goodman. Published by
Broadway Publishing Company, 835
Broadway, New York. Price $3.50.
The scene of this romance is laid in
Codport, Puritan village on the
Atlantic seaboard of the New England
States, which has fallen behind the
times in the march of progress. The
social and religious activities of this
town furnish the background and set
ting for the real purpose of this inno-
cent satire which, as the author lays
down in the preface, is the Reunion of
Christendom which he calls 3'the great
question of the age" It describes the
relation and intercourse between the
Catholic priest and his congregation
on the one hand, and the non-Catholic
on the other. In the end the Old
Church triumphs and the priest has
the happiness of seeing his ministerial
friends and their followers yield to the
influence of Catholicism. 1t is through
this return to the one true faith that
the final Reunion of Christendom must
be brought about.
An innocent love story which has
the usual happy ending runs through
the book; and a deep-laid plot of black
mail adds to the interest which is well
sustained throughout.

The Chicago sports were very anxious
to see the new champion In action. so
a match was made etwee Fitzsim-

out In two rounds. Three nights later
he tackled the famous Black Pearl

four rounds.
The sporting fraternity had not rested

around for some one who could van
