This is a variant upon the authors

keen pleasure his deft portrayal of life

Cornish Quarries, and in an old English

less fascinating than the romsnces
which were interviewer among them.
In the present work, il is true, "a the
subtitle suggests, he deals with an
other and. Of them all. most attractive
industry. Yet it is really dealt with
quite incidentally. 1t is not an essen
tial feature of the book.
What is essential is the fundamental
paganism of twentieth century Chris
tian society, in the passions which
move its men and women in their per-
sonal relations. That is the theme OF
the book, and il is elaborated with all
the delft craftsmanship and artistic skill
with which we have become familiar IN

insight of the hearts and motives Of
men and women, in both lawful ana
Illicit loves, and his power TO impair,

never been more convincingly exercised
than in this volume. Action and Incl
dent are sufficiently abundant and at
times are strongly dramatic. and the
sequences Of narration are calculated
70 enthrall the interest of those who
read chiefly for the plots sake. But
the chief value Of the book IS IN IT'S
psychological study of its incisivc COM

problems Of our present-day social and

the treatment of them, whether IN

felicitous.
Mr. Cobb discreetly avoids over
emphasis and extravaganza, perhaps
the most common and most serious
faults Of writers Of what We may call
folk stories: and the consequence IS
that while he may in places seem TO

Destruction Of German Power.

There were scores OF soldiers and
sailors in last nights congregation at
the Church OF the Covenant to hear
DR.. Charles Wood preach on Amer
ica's Part in Saving the World From
SAvagery." The minister's remarks
were. in part, as follows:
"A decade ago it was the universal
conviction everywhere, except in Cen
trail Europe, that at last the world
was forever safe for civilization.
Within that decade for the first time
the world has seen with horror and
alliance between savagcry and science.
One-fourth Of the habitable earth Is
under sway of this scientific savagery.
but ree-fourths still belong to a
civ iliZation to which such savagery,
however scientific, Is Satanic.
"One-half the productive soil OF the
earth is in the Western Hemisphere,
between Alaska and Patagonia. and
that rich belt is possessed by the
American spirit of fraternity, equality
and liberty.
"On the front our soldiers will fight
side by side with our allies to save
the world by beating back hordes
more cruel and more savage than the
hosts of Attica before which Europe
crouched in terror. Here at home we
are to save our sons and soldiers from
the false ideals of the State and So
ciety and the supreme law of life
which have turned the most universal
ly educated people of modern times

PRAYER FOR VICTORY
DAYIS OBSERVED
St. Andrews Church Scene of Splen.
did Morning Service.

st. Andrews Church was the scene
Of an Exceptionally splendid Sunday
morning service. In accordance with
the proclamation of President Wilson
making the day one of special observ-
ance OF prayer for victory, the SER
vice was devoted entirely to the
MILITANT aspect, in a wonderfully sue
CesSul effort on the part of the rec
tor, j. j. Dimon, assisted by Albert
w. Harnell, organist and choirmaster,
to bring home to the minds of the
members of his congregation the need
Of religious conservation in the cause
for which our country is now at war.
A special feature of the service was
the music. In this connection, the
choir was assisted in the patriotic
songs by a brass quartet form the
Engineers Band.
Miss Jessie Masters, alto soIoist,
sang "The Promise" The offertory
anthem was Onward Christian Sol
diers," by Schneider, soloist, Mr.
Forker.
The sermon particularized upon the
idea of peace to be secured, not for
revenge. but for the object and pur-
pose of preventing any future con-
ditions arising, similar TO the present
which would necessitate war. Peace
freed from the idea of punishment
and revenge, If possible, but peace,
because through peace alone can the
precious lives of Americas sons be
preserved. and the future of our ma
ton assured.
In commenting upon the services.
Mr.. Harnell said: Never have / seen
a church service which turned out to
be more completely a fulfilment of
what it was intended to be-
