BOOK REVIEWS

i "Fifty-three Experiences in New : Thought" by forty-n nine writer's Published by the Elizabeth Towne company, Holyoke, Mass. There is nothing new under the sun. There is nothing new about New l Thought except the name It is the l noWold theory of mind over matter | plus super-faith. The "Experienoes is rather a. disappointment. Almost any one of them is open to dispute and the mental and physical cures enumerated might, in many cases. be disposed of With a single word--co- incidence. The book is not convince ing unless a reader is in a state of 1 mind susceptible, for the moment, to religious hysteria.
 New Thought is an exclusive cult. The writer can hardly imagine it be- ing a religion of a busy people, such as we have in America. Introspection, examination of the soul to the ex- tent required by New Thought, is hardly practicable. For people of leisure who are agreeable to taking up any fad as an escape from the ennui of life it might afford @ diver sion. But it would hardly be per- manent.
 Theoretically New Thought Is an ideal. It is soul socialism. In prac- tice it will probably never become un iversal and it will hardly become com mon. Many of the Experiences read much like testim onials to man. Ufacturers of patent medicines. With out doubt, Elizabeth Towne, eastern priestess of the cult, is sincere but the general public will hardly accept as final the "Experiences'' of those who claim New Thought has cured them of threatened blindness, injury to the spine, facial ugliness, rupture, loss of smell and other physical ail- ments to which mortals are heir. Mentally New Thought is a, possible healer. Physically, it's scope is linn tied. It might bring more sunshine into the lives of those who are phy- sical1y incapacitated by persuading them to be content with their lot.
 
 Big Timber" by Bertrand w. Sin
 clair. Published by Little, Brown
 & Co.,. Boston. $1.35 net.
 To those who live in the crowded East there is a magnetic appeal, a halo of romance about the West, de- lightfully interpreted by Mr. Sinclair in his latest novel. It is a "big'' story, dealing with big mountains, big lakes, big timber and a great "big'' man, big mentally and in heart as well as body. By way of contrast MT. Sinclair mixes in a few characters of lesser proportion-but that is the way the Great Author did when the world was created.
 The story is woven around the struggles of Jack Fyfe and Stella Ben ton. his lOvemaking, com parable in sWiftness and intensity to the forest fire which wiped out his tract of tim Der; their opposite emotions when the honeymoon became silverv and cold: the fork in the road, and the final discovery on Stella's part that her husband was the biggest part of the big country.
 The beauty of Mir Sinclair's story is the fact that it is of interest to both sexes. It is not a mans book; it Is not a womans book; it is work that either might enjoy.

Americas Good Things.
Manchester Guardian)

M
 One need not, at this late day, in clude the American girl among the good things of the continent. She has certainly not been left out in the past, and in any. case she is a subject by herself. But there is the Amer ican air. which even in the great cities, and especially in New York, is a marvellous exhilaration; and there is the spiritual atm 0sphere of youth and confidence WhiCh-as an imn1i- grant from eastern Europe said to MT. Alfred Zimm mcrn-makes you feel as if you had grown wings. There is the American welcome, which is at least as eXhilarating as the air, all though Mr. stephen Graham (who adores a cOntrasted form of sOcietY) ayers that it is restricted to the wis itor fortunate enough to carry the right kind of introductiOns. It is at any rate-as Rupert Brooke found out for himself, though he did not think to reckon with the things worthy of particular nention-about the best of all the good things which the United States, has, in store for the visitor from the old World.

WISHES FOR MY SON.

Now, my son, is life for you,
And l wish you Joy of it,
Joy of Power in all you do,
Deeper passion, better wit
Than | who had enough,
Quicker life and length thereof,
More of every gift but love.
Love l have beyond all men,
Love that now you share with me-
What have to wish you then
But that you be good and free,
And that God to you may give
Grace in stronger days to live?
For wish you more than I
Ever knew of glorious deed,
Though no rapture passed me by
That an eager heart could heed,
Though followed heights and sought
Things the sequel never brought:
Wild and perilous holy things
Flaming with martyrs blood,
And the joy that laughs and sings
Where a foe must be wfthstood,
Joy of headlong happy chance
Leading on the battle dance.
But l found no enemy,
No man in a world Of wrong,
That Christ's word Of Charity
Did not render clean and strong
Who was / to judge my kind,
Blindest groper Of the blind?
God to you may give the sight
And the clear nndoubting strength
Wars to knit for single right,
Freedoms war to knit at length, 6
And to win, through wrath and strife.
To the sequel of my life. .&=
But for you, so small and young,
/ in more harmonious song
Now for nearer joys should pray 4.
Simple joys; the, natural growth
OF your childhood and your youth,
Courage, innocence, and truth:
These for you, so small and young,
In your hand and heart and tongue.
