ural environment has made Betty a
lover of the soil and the things that
nature makes perfect from the soil,
and all the high life that she has en-
joyed cannot kill this inherent crav-
ing to delve into the earth. Herein is
the cruX of the situation. Sam and
Peter, who are both in love with her
and who love one another and both of
whom Betty loves, are two characters
than whom it is not possible in tic-
tion to find two more unlike. Peter
is rich, poet with all the poets pecu-
liarly delicate and sensitive tempera-
ment, constantly needing attention, and
consideration and mothering while
Sam is rugged, ex-football star, who
is poor and forced to work in the fields
in order to save his ancestral farm.
The situation is a very unusual but
wholesome one, and Betty is not quite
sure which of the two men needs her
most.

Over Paradise Ridge, by Maria
Thompson Davies. published by
Harpers.)
Betty is a girl of whom it may be
said that her romantic and her prac-
tical side were so inseparably linked
that one was not sure just which was
going to pop up and confront him.
Devoted to art, music, literature and
nil the harmless modern diversions,
she is still underneath it all the primi-
tive woman who responds to the call
of strength as typified in the primi-
tive man refined and tempered by civ
ilZation. And yet it is not that which
strikes the attention. 1t is her simple
and child-like trust in humanity and
the response to the call from him who
loves her. 1t is a love story of the
goth century. full of the emotional
quality of the authors best work, and
full of the inspiration emanating from
the buoyancy and enthusiasm of
youth. The Melting of Molly" by the
same author, has not been equalled by
any of her works since that, but this
book is written in the same style.
Its beauty lies in its simplicity. The
scene is laid in a small and respecta-
BILE village and with but few exceptions

KIPLING AT FIFTY
(From a recent copy of the New York
TimeS)

(F'rom a recent copy of the New York
Times.)
Rudyard Kipling celebrates to-day
his fiftieth anniversary. 1t is hardly
more than twenty-five years since he
came, young and unknown, from In
dia, with vital and interesting things
to say and a swinging. engaging, mas"
culine way of saying them. And now
the authorized, collected editions of
his work contain twenty-three volumes
of prose and poetry, of which some
have been published in practically
every written language. 1t is impossi-
BILE to estimate how many million
copies of his books have been sold in
all parts of the world where books are
read. In the United States his army
of readers grows with every year. The
enlistments began-and they are al
ways for life-when a paper-covered
edition of plain Tales from the
Hills was put on sale on newsstands
a quarter century ago, and every one
who read it made haste to tell all his
friends of this new author and every
one began asking who this Rudyard
Kipling was. To-day his works are
far more popular in this country than
they ever were before, most of them
outselling their record of ten years
ago by ten to one, and some of them
Selllng nIIeen tlmeS as MANY copies per
year as they did then.
To few authors has it ever been
given to set in motion in the great
ocean of English speech a wave of
such solemn significance as did Mr..
Kipling with his Lest We Forget"
His Barrack- Room Ballads and his
army and Indian tales have been Il
vital force making for democracy and
fellow-feeling. Children of many gen.
erations will hold his name in their
hearts with love all their lives because
of the delight his Jungle Tales have
given them. Hardly a line of all his
poems but strikes a free, vital. inspir-
| ing note for which the world is the
better.

Student Councils Mission.

The North American Student Council
has been most useful in promoting a
greater unity among the various stu
dent movements. This has been
achieved by frequent conferences of
the leaders and by the publication of
a student magazine called the North
American Student. The council also
co-operates with the national student
movement of other lands which are
in the Worlds Student Christian Fed
Grafton and serves as a clearing house
for various speakers and visitors who
may be visiting our colleges and con-
ferences 1t also relates the various
student movements of North America
to federated church boards and mis-
sionary organizations. 1t also calls
conferences for the discussion of spe-
cial problems
For example, the conference of
Christian social workers to discuss
the problems of social service in the
colleges, and the student missionary
conference for negro students held in
Atlanta in 1914. The council has a
committee on voluntary Bible, missions
and social study, which is preparing
a unified course of study to be used
in the colleges and Sunday schools in
college towns throughout the country.

BY Marquis Of Lansdowne.

London, Jan. %. 5.27 p. m.-The mil

reading in the house this afternoon,
after a speech made by the Marquis of
Iansdowne. minister without portfolio
in the British cabinet, dwelling upon
the necessity Of enacting the measure.
Dealing with its effects on industry,
Lord Lansdowne admitted thaat the
weakening Of the Industrial army OBJ
viously affected Great Britain's fancial
position but he was quite opposed to
any suggestion that Great Britain
might have been content with supply
ing a great navy and munitions OF
war to her allies besides placing Great
Britair's credit at their disposal.
IL we had taken that line when the
war broke out. I" the marquis said, "of
course the war would have been very
different from what It has been out
confidence In the success Of the opera
tions which we hope to renew, in the
spring would have been much less than
it is at present. It is distinctly for
the interests Of our industry and n
nance that we should not only emegre
victorious, but that the conclusion of
the struggle should rot be too long
delayed"
