Problems of Christianity

To the large number of books APP
pearing on problems of Christianity
and ethics there is added another,
christianity and Ethics" by Rev.
DR.. Archibald B. d. Alexander. This
volume is one of a score of others In
series of "Studies in Theology" All
are written by specialists in their re-
spective subjects and are uniform In
size, in price and in general plan and
Arrangement. They are intended as
handbooks or aids to Interpretation
IN Biblical criticism for ministers,
Students and teachers, and for the
general reader.
In the present volume the author
makes a plea for the study of Chris
ian ethics. He points out that one
Of the most noticeable features Of the
age is its strong ethical tendency. II
IS seen in the literature, in the arts
IN the history of today, and even IN
theology. Human sympathy, the
analysis of character. the study OF
the passions and ambitions of men,
the scrutiny of motives, the outlining
of duty, the story of the soul, are
everywhere in evidence, making the
study of Christian ethics pertinent.
Never was there q time when plain
people were less concerned with the
metaphysics or the ecclesiasticism of
Christianity" 1t Is the opinion of
DR.. Alexander that christianity
must vindicate itself as a practical
religion"
II one wishes to know much about
the nature and scope of ethics, Its
postulates and its history, he will find
It packed into this volume. Under
the chief subjects of Personality"
"Character" and Conduct" the au-
thor marshals his material in an in
structive and suggestive manner.
Tile Estimate of Man." 1.-THE Wit
ness of Conscience" and THE Miracle
of the Will" are some of the topics
under personality" Moral Theories
of Life" 1.-THE Christian Ideals and
THE Dynamics of the New Life are
considered under Character" Among
the subjects of most modern interest
is the authors discussion of social In
stitutions. the family, the State and
the church.
II Is not often that a book appears
on ethics in which so much Of in
formation is so compactly presented
and go clearly and concisely written.
There is no crowding in of practically
unnecessary and cumbersome ma
terial. The useful and helpful have
been preferred. There is an index and
a well prepared photography. The
publishers are Charles Scribner's

Two Presidents on Neutrality

The Presidents appeal for observ-
ance of the spirit of the neutrality
seems, curiously enough, almost an
echo of that of our first President,
whose biographer Mr.. Wilson is. In
his book, George Westinghouse
Gently issued in a new edition-he
quotes Washington's remarks at the
beginning of the French Revolution:
Every true friend to this country
must see and feel that the policy of it
is not to embroil ourselves with any
nation whatever, but to avoid their
disputes and their politics, and, II
they will harass one another, to avail
ourselves of the neutral conduct we
have adopted. Twenty years peace,
with such an increase of population
and resources as we have right to
expect, added to our remote situation
from the Earring powers, will in all
probability enable us, in just cause,
to bid defiance to any power on earth.

Story Of Typical
American Girl

There are few novelists today
whose position is more secure than
Mary s. Watts. She added in Ma
than Burke" in 1.-THE Legacy and in
Van Cleve" at least three notable
portraits to our literary gallery, por-
traits which are significant in their
presentation of American types and
important because of their reflection
of the essentials of human nature.
With the publication of 1.-THE Rise
of Jennie Cushing another and
equally remarkable character Is put
to her credit. Here, as in her pre-
vious volumes. Mrs Watts's purpose
has been to tell the life story of one
Individual and to tell that story
completely, faithfully, with sympathy
and understanding.
1.-THE Rise of Jennie Cushing Is
concerned with little other than Jen-
MES history, but what history That
is and with what convincing power
is 1t set forth In many ways it is
suggestive of Van Cleve," in the
kindly humor that pervades it, in
its shrew comment on society and
people, and in the authors sure grasp
OF incident and character. In theme,
too, it is not unlike its predecessor,
for both show how full realization
of life was ultimately achieved,
though in the one it is a mans soul
that is revealed, and in the other
woman's.
When the reader first meets Jennie
she is a friendless waif, soon com
mitted to the tender mercies of a
reformatory. That institution, how
ever, proves to be the making OF her,
and when she finally leaves 1t in
young Womanhood she is well fitted
to cope with the emergencies with
which she is later confronted. These
early days, as well as those which
succeed them, days which mark for
Jennie q tremendous mental and
spiritual advance, are wildly painted
by Mrs. Watts. The story which she
tells is really the story of the evolu-
ton of an American girl who had at
the start little more than a dormant
common sense and an innate right
feeling toward things with which to
fight her way up out of the muck
into decency.
"The Rise OF Jennie Cushing is
typically American. The appeal of
It, the humanity of 1t, are irresisti-
bile

Norton kept perhaps half a block
in the rear of his man all the while.
But for this caution he would have
witnessed a little pontomime that
would have put him wholly upon his
guard. Turning a corner, Gregg all
but bumped into the countess. He
was quick enough to place a finger
on his lips and motion his head
toward a taxicab. Olga hadn't the
least idea who was coming around
the corner, but she hailed the cab
and was off in 1t before Jim swung
around the corner.

now, he wondered. The countess
knew the man. That was evidence
enough for the astute butler. But
what meant the pantomime and the
subsequent hurry? He soon learned.
The man Gregg went his way, and
then Jim turned the corner. Jones
cast a wistful glance at the vanish
ing cab of the Russian. and decided
to shadow the shadower-in other
words follow the reporter, to see that
nothing serious befell him.
Sometimes Norton was oVereager;
several times during his tits with the
Black Hundred he had gone outside
the boundary OF caution-and paid for
it. He did this very thing today, and
but for Jones he might have Jared

Braine swore that this time Norton
should suffer. He would wiring the
truth out of the reporter, the truth
as far as he knew it. Braine was
positive that Norton knew one or the
other of two things: Hargreaves

mysterious box contained the million.
