DOWN AMONG MEN. BY viii Leving-
ton Comfort, author of .'Routledge
Rides Alone" etc. New York: George
III. Doran Company.
- OMETHING like four years ago
Will Lexington Comfort wrote
his first novel. "Routledge Rides
~ -Alone"-a story promptly and
generally recognized as one of
surprisingly fine strain and careful
breeding The high quality of this
first book became. in effect, pledge for
tho good character of it's successors.
Since that time, four years ago. this
author has written three other novels.
All of these have kept full faith with
eXpectant readers. The story of John
Alorning-Mr. Comforts new novel
IS n bigger one than "Routledge." 1t
Is a simpler one than the two coming
in between. 1t is richer than all the
others together. The book of John
Morning is, in truth, three stories. not
three running alone side by side and
welded deftly together by the skill OF
p Workman1y writer-not this at all.

GAVE SHOP TALK
 AT HOPKINS 6 ALIENS Rev. c. H. Strouse Spoke Upon the
 Democracy of Jesus.

The Democracy of Jesus was the subject of the address by Rev. George II. Strouse, pastor of the First Baptist church at the I. Nj. C. A. meeting at the Hopkins &5 Allen plant Friday noon TWO solos were rendered by Miss Elsie Brand, accompanied by Miss Harriet Colt.
 Rev. Mr. srouse spoke in part as follows:
 It is sometimes believed that Jesus was antagonistic 10 the Workingman, but I want to leave a different impress sion with you today. Christ loved men the workingman-fo he himself was Q wOrkingman He tOiled with his hands. and he tOued with his DraIl .. We orrvn misunderstood Jesus and feel he has no room for us. Ii we rightly understood him every man would grip his hand and dO all in his power to make Jesus a lifelong friend
 When we think of Jesus throwing himself right into the flood of God s wrath and bearing the brunt of 1t ali for us, then we begin to say: I'll go anywhere with Jesus, who is q man s friend. Jesus was man. Loved U call himself the Son of Man. Not only Decaus che loved men but because he was passing through life as men pass through it. There was no sin, but there was sorrow, toll and pain. Jesus might have come as a king or a priest
  but he came as Workinsman, that men might reach and touch him.
 Jesus first discovered and then Fe- vealed to us the worth of a man. Com ing into a world where the king was supreme, and man only his slave, Jesus taught the infinite worth of man. Jesus treated men as though they were wort " hile Of so much worth were men to Jesus that ne would die to save them. When an inspiration comes to q man. when he gets the conception that the great Master of men thinks him worth while and has place in his divine plan for him to fill
 Jesus was an optlmist Just because Jesus believed in men and knew they would respond to the truth, he could ba optimistic And Christ knew his truth could work the desired transformation if men would but come under it's sway
 Jesus was an aristrOcrat in the true meaning of the word, He didn't place the emphasis on gold. nor royalty be- cause of blood or social standing. As a true aristocrat Jesus made chaTacte4 supreme, Not what a man has or what he knows but what he is always counts with Jesus
 Everywhere in the life of Jesus there flashes out brilliantly his unselfshness. We can't miss seeing it. It's there and we are reaping the benefits of it. His cle of personal interests. It touched men everywhere Service for others was characteristic of his whole life. He came not to be Tninistered unto but t0 minister and to give his life a ransom for many Strange paradox! Love our life and We lose it; lose it and We find it.
