 By tying up the social revolution of
 of our day thus with God and the Bible.
 we are making the social revolution certainty. Religion Is always a prin-
 cipal of energy. Hitherto 1t has been harnessed up to the conservative side in society. and thereby has intensified
 that conservatism into an iron-clad,
 brass bound rigidity. Now the thing | is being reversed, thanks to Scriptural scholarship We are seeing that the
 real God of the Bible Is on the side of
 the workers and the poor, against the privileged class at the top. My Gall
 of the Carpenter" takes the results of scholarship and shows that Jesus was a working man, and that his life's work primarily was economic. The compan- ion book to 1t. "The Carpenter and the Rich Man" reaffirms the message, and proves by a mass of evidence which thus far has not been shaken that. Christianity took it's rise in an eco- homie upheaval"
 | "In thus making social revolution a certainty, religion will do another thing. It will make that revolution a benefit to humankind. People who have the Idea that folk upheaval is a terrible | thing, must get a new mind. Folk up i heaval Is not a terrible thing. It is the blessedest thing that ever happens to wake up the populace-that is the pur- pose of all Gods doings in human af- fairs. His is the eternal Awakener. Sleep is the natural state of human
 kind And sleep Is proverbially syn
 onym for death. Gods task is to wake
 people out of that sleep. Or as Jesus
 expresses it, "I come that you might
 have life and might have it more abundantly. Social revolution is life. 1 And the more intense the revolution, 1.-the more intense is the life. To Iawaken the masses, Is to awaken life; laugment that awakenment, you aug ment life. When the people are awake iproblems, all our social wrechedness: yes, and all our private immortality is
 due to the sleepiness of the human
 soul Therefore, those who are inter-
 ested In civic revival and social re-
 demption and personal worth. should
 throw themselves into the revolution
 ary movement with fullhearted conse-
 cration It is the divinest task that
 can engage the energies of man
 The Carpenter and the Rich Man" is
 a study of the parables, and shows the
 terrific seed of revolution in the Car
 penters teaching.
 And where got I these dynamic re-
 suits? From Union Seminary, and the superb scholars in her faculty. They are men who deserve high place in our ranks. and I am making plea with my red flag comrades to give these men an
 enthusiastic recognition"

 when the country has been aroused to fever heat by the campaign against the
 white slave tnaffc, with its accom- . panying revelations of the dangers and snares that encompass the footsteps of
 young girls, particularly those who
 have been forced Into the business and D labor worlds, has been answered by pr.
 I. D. Steinhardt, M. D., in his book, Ten :, Sex Talks to Girls, IA Years and Older "Forewarned is forearmed," is the motto adapted for this thoroughly good book. It's mission is delicately per formed, with good mans reverence
 for lofty and true womanhood. The doctor will find 1t invaluable when ' called upon to instruct his young pa tient in proper protection of her health 2 the mother and teacher can find no bet ter means to employ for the instruction ' of the young girl in what 1t Is vitally necessary she should know.
 Teach the girls to protect them selves! should be the slogan of every mothers club. every teachers associa- tion, the worning of the family physi- 7 elan, the battle cry of all the societies Q and individuals struggling for social 2 betterment and uplift The girl who :. has read this little book can not be- C come the innocent victim of the un- scrupulous, nor can she make those !. blunders that fill hospitals, sanitariums :. and insane asylums with unhappy | .<f ,nl< <<.1 ci afp = merely ignorance.
 v The ten talks to girls that make ur '. the book were delivered in their orig :, inal form before various societies, and II won such unqualified praise, that the - lecture rooms were unable to hold all
 who came to hear them. First publish r ed in the New York Medical Journal = the demand for copies of the numbers s containing the lectures at once outrar o the supply. Dr. Steinhardt revised ? them. and enlarged them somewhat be V fore offering them in book form, sc ', that their usefulness might be greatly !. increased with the larger audience ad- - dressed
 The young wife and mother are ad- a dressed in several chapters in wise and
 helpful discussion of her duty and re- :, sponsibility in the home and to her hus s band and children. Nothing more judi = cious could be written on these topics :. and the doctor seeks to inspire his a reader with his own high ideals and a noble principles, in addition to the f practical and scientific aspects of his 7, articles. We would urge that the book n be read in every home. and by all those !, interested in the welfare and protectior "a of the young. and the progress of hu- Ia man society.
 "a Rachelle s. Yarros, M. D., chairman if of social hygiene of the General Feder- .t alton of Women's Clubs. has given the
 book her unqualified commendation I, In a preface she has written for tn, h book. she says in part:
 v "The study of physiology and hygien, i, of sex is bound to deepen our reverence, a for the wonderful processes Of natur ~ and to intensity our desire to make tn ,a best of our faculties and carefully il ourselves for our nobiest part in life"
 If Is from this reverent viewpoint ' and with every possible accompani 2. ment of deiicacy and right feeling S that Dr. Steinhardt approaches his tasl, H That he has accomplished 1t with sue
 cess; that his book is true to the high
 est ideal of noble womanhood, as wei
 as scientifically accurate and tllumin
