dreams of Yesterday. represents the
work of Mr.. IIarman for the past Y
months, collection Of songs sweeter
than any he has sung during the years
in which he has done such excellent work
as writer of pleasing verse. This is
his firth book of poems, aud IS, as It
should be. by far his best. We believe
that Dreams of Yesterday viii take
high rank among the best work of our
younger American poets.
One of the most beautiful poems In the
collection is produced below:
THE CLOSED DOOR
Love knocked: Youth heard and listened,
but
Was busy with his gold that day:
She knocked again. the door was shut,
Then sadly turned away.
Love knocked once more in after years,
But Fame was calling up the height;
With broken heart she left in tears,
For it was almost night
Time bore the Youth to green old age:
She gave him wealth and fame, and
more,
But somehow life was like a cage.
For love had closed the door.

and deals with momentous issues. Com
petent judges agree in pronouncing it
one of the most striking and splendid
monographs on the subject of institu-
tional Christianity and Christian science
considered in their relation to the future
of this country as democracy, that has
yet been published
It is remarkable effort. 1t is simple,
logical, comprehensive and convincing. A

who needs such a book and that means
everybody!
Altar Fires Relghted'' is a pioneer
work and makes an appeal as broad as
humanity itself Its success is not a
matter which hangs in the balance; it
has already succeeded, as shown by the
flattering advanced copies; by the sale
of the first edition of $500 copies to one
firm before issue; by the purchase OF
hundreds of copies by interested readers
for free distribution; by applications for
agencies both here and abroad and for
privilege of German translation and by
the growing demand for the book from
all parts OF the country.

unusual lines. in which young man OF
exceptional talents and ability as an artist
and writer, follows his natural bent in
realistically portraying the horrible and
morbid in life, rather than the good and
beautiful. Though good at heart. even
giving up his life work, temporarily, to
aid his best friend in getting good start
on the road to success along legitimate
lines, he believes in the development of
his own life and character along the
