RELIGION AND LIFE. BY Elwood
Worcester. rector of Emmanuel
Church. Boston. New York: Harper

Elwood Worcester, organizer OF the
Emmanuel movement and apostle of the
daily and hourly proving Of ones faith,
here enters into a free accounting OF the
relations that actually exist-whether we
will have it so or not-between religion
and life. These studies deal with the
clear manifestations Of religion in one
and another of the many organized social
aims of ameliorative and brotherly intent

at the very end Of this romance but the

the whole bring into play ones con-

Some of them trace the dynamic force of
religion in the common unrest, in the
wrestlings and resistances that seem bent
upon disrupting old orders and usages.
Some of them are concerned with the
problems of personal life. The Power

ton by Work." 1.-THE Healing of Naa-
man. The Illusions Of Life" are among
the topics to which this writer applies
the life of Jesus Christ as the spark that
flames into their full illumination. The
concrete value Of this study as well as its
sp, .itual beauty lies In the fact that Mr..
Worcester sees religion as a present
practical working force In the daily life
Of men and societies and nations. The
life Of Christ. scientific research and
criticism. and the whole complex of
modern life make up the composite me-
dunn of this impressive and stimulating
study.

which sets both books Off from the ma

This means that he gives proportionate
attention to every phase Of development,

that he makes clear the essential rela-

Sammy Jay and BIacky the
Crow Both Talk at Once.

Two tongues at once are one too many,
And better 'twere there were not any.
Which means that. when two people
try to talk at the same time it is very
unpleasant for themselves and even
more unpleasant for others who have to
listen to them. When Blacky the Crow
came flying out from deep in the Green
Forest so excited that he was cawing
at the top of his voice, Sammy Jay
had at once flown to meet him. Now.
Sammy was just as excited, and he was
screaming at the top of his lungs. You
see, he knew that Blacky had found the
stranger who had so excited him. Now

Forest and the Green Meadows would

reach its height in m1dWfnter,
but the period of greatest in
terest and activity has just
been reached, when. according
to the calendar, spring is here. At no
time since autumn has there been SO
great number Of interesting exhibitions
in progress either in New York or in
our own city.
Monday in the Pan-American Union
an exhibition of paintings made in Pan
anna by Jonas Lie will be opened. This
is the first exhibition that has been held
in this beautiful building, which is in
itself work Of art. The subject OF Mr..
Lies paintings is, however, one in which
members of the Pan-American Union
would naturally be interested. Indeed,
it is one which at the present time is
engaging the attention of the nation.
Mr.. Lie spent the greater part Of last
summer on the isthmus, and he has pic
tured the scenes there with vtrihty, force
and convincing veracity. When Joseph
Pennell earlier went to Panama and made
his worid-famous Autographs of the ca
nal in process of construction he was 80
profoundly impressed by the gigantic en-
terprise and accomplishment that he
called it the wonder of work" The
greatness of the achievement, the force,
the energy, the purposeful, constructive
elements in the huge upbuilding of locks
and gates and retaining walls all took
on to his eye a certain beauty--a beauty
of fitness and strength-which was thor
oughly in accord with the spirit of our
time and our nation. In his Autographs
he made this patent Mr.. Lie has SO far
followed in his footsteps, but he has
seen the wonder with his own eyes and
interpreted it in quite a different manner.
Whereas Mr.. Pennell used only black
and white-charcoal in that instance be-
ing his medum-Mr. Lie has used color,
and strong color such as abounds in the
tropics.
