Brief Reviews and Notices

The Columbiad: BY William Henry
Sheran, LII, d. Published by J. M.
Dent and Sons, Ltd, London and
Toronto.
The six books of this Epic deal with
events in the life of Columbus, the
discoverer of America. The author
accompanies the Genoese Mariner as
he sails westward from the bright
Azores" and gives expression to the
sublime thoughts and haunting fears
that crowd in upon him as he keeps
bravely on his course despite the
mutinous attitude of his followers and
the seemingly shoreless wastes of
water that lie before him. He weaves
into the narrative the story of the
youth and early life of Columbus, of
the sublime purpose which animated
him in his desire to seek world be-
yond the western ocean, of the years
| of preparation and of the final de-
parture from the Port of Palos, as
well as the legends of the Norsemen
and of st. Brendon who preceded him
| in his quest of a land beyond the con-
fines of the then known world. The
reader experiences a feeling of dis
appointment when he comes to the
end of the volume and finds that the
poem does not tell the story of the
actual discovery of the New World by
| the great admiral. 1t ends before he
touches the shores of the new CONT
nent. No doubt, it is the intention of
the author to continue the narrative in
subsequent volume It is sublime
topic, worthy of gifted pen, and we
| hope "The Columbiad" will expand
beyond it's present limits and tell the
whole story of what is, to the. people
of America, at least, the most wonder
full event in the worlds history"
THE Columbiad" is dedicated ito the
Knights and admirers of Christopher
Columbus throughout the world
The King, the Kaiser and Irish Free
dom: BY James K. MCGUIRE. Pub
hshed by the Deyin-Adair Company,
437 5th Avenue, New York.
This volume, dealing with the situa-
ton brought about by the war, is dedi-
Gated to ''the millions of men and
women of German birth in this coun-
try to all the vast Teutonic
elements of the United States whose
efforts have placed our nation to the
forefront in education and in all the
arts and science" It is an attempt
to convince the German people of this
country that the so-called Anglo-Amer-
lean newspaper is without any real
influence among the people and that
in this war it does not represent the
true state of public opinion. The
author believes that there is no hope
for an industrial Ireland under Eng
lish Nominations. that England will
always remain the sole enemy of Ire
1and;' and that liberty for Ireland
can only be won through the trftmphs
of Germany and Austria" The argu-
ments which he adduces in support of
these assertions are by no means con-
Evincing. Special pleading is evident
on every page. He win not see the
other side Of the shield.

The G0PTIC RITE
LITURGY USED BY THE coPTs, OR
THE EGYPTIAN CHRISTIANS.

The Coptic Rite is the rite or lit.
urgy used by the Copts or Egyptian
Christians, says Truth" Most OF
these hold the Monophysite heresy
that our Lord had only one nature,
the human nature being completely
swallowed up in the Divine. This
heresy was condemned by the Council
of Chalcedon GA. D. 451), after which
the Copts separated from the Catholic
Church. However, they have retained
like all Eastern schismatics) a valid
ly ordained priesthood, and therefore
a valid mass and valid sacraments. In
their belief they differ little from
Catholics, except that they hold the
aforesaid heresy with regard to our
Lords nature and do not recognize
the authority of the Holy See.
They say mass in Coptic, the Ian
guage of ancient Egypt, which is
otherwise extinct (the vernacular OF
the modern Egyptians is Arabic). In
recent years many Copts have given
up their heresy and returned to the

tic liturgy and customs, and have a
hierarchy of their own under the

The football schedule this year was

MT. Pheasant TO
CONSIDER ACTION
SPECIAL MEETING OF CITIZENS
THERE TONIGHT TO DIS
cUss KEEPING WESLEYAN.

Mt. Pleasant, Dec! 8.-Iowa Wesley
ans proposition to Mt. Pleasant will
be made at special meeting of the
citizens called for this evening in the
court house by the commercial club
Of this city.
( Dehniteness regarding the future OF
the school looms large on the local
horizon. A definite proposition, some
thing that can be understood and
worked to- has been reached now A
proposal has been formally submitted
to the commercial club by the specia
committee Of five representing the
Iowa annual conference and the
board Of trustees of the school. The
vital points Of the proposition are:
| l. President Schell and the college
organization will start an immediate
campaign for $250,00O additional en-
4 dowment
2. OF this $25o,ooo Mt. Pleasant
and Henry county is apportioned
100000 and the college will under
take to secure the remaining $150,O00
outside Of Henry county.
3. That Of the 100000 apportioned
to Mount Pleasant and Henry county
! 100000 must be in cash or guaranteed
by collateral by January 1, 1916, and
the balance, or $4,000 to be subscrib.
ed In the shape of notes bearing five
per cent interest and due in three
years.
A. That the college will suspend all
negotiations with Fairfield and Ottum-
wa or other interests until 1t is evil
dent that all efforts to hold the college
here have failed.
To discussion of this proposition
the business men, the property own
ers. the citizens, Of this city and vi
cinity are called to meet at the court
house. The college has made it's first
definite step. The next step Is for
Mt. Pleasant to accept the PROPOSE
ton Of the college or make, in its
turn. definite counter proposition.
The fact that defniteness has been
reached is an important fact. Mt.
Pleasant can meet the proposal of the
college If it wants to-.
DR.. Schell had the following to say
concerning the Ottumwa proposition:
My attitude has been governed
largely by the insistence of the OF.
tumwa committee which demanded on
q meeting of the Parsons board of
trustees to determine their willingness
or unwillingness to come to Ottumwa.
No meeting of the Parsons board has
been called SO the matter has been in
a balance. Further proceedings with
Ottumwa looks like negotiation with
out an objective in view."
