The contents OF this volume were
originally a series Of Sunday morning
sermons delivered from the pulpit OF
St. Georges, Montreal, and they form
a most human and enjoyable interprc-
tation of PauHs life. Imagine a
reader irving to stop after finding out
that Paul was a real boy, playing over
the ships and piers Of Tarsus, on the
Cydnus river.
There J see the boy watching the
ships with his companions, shouting
to the lumbermen floating past;
climbing on the bales Of goods piled
along the quay; listening t. the
traders, in their varied costumes and
varied dialects, from all parts OF the
empire.
Such boyhood delights and advent
ures indicate clearly why Paul when
he grew up became a tent and sail
maker and was familiar with ships.
Later he goes 70 college, and uneN-
pectedly from his own lips we hear
what kind of student he was. 81

The different missionary journeys

This we may assume TO be the de-
fnitive edition Of Hays poems, and
a such we must heartily welcome it
for three specific reasons. One is the
inclusion Of some new" poems IN
fact. among the oldest-hitherto I'M
known TO the public, but amply worthy
of place among those long known
and loved" Another Is the graceful
and informing introduction, by the
authors son, with its estimate, equal
ly accurate and epigrammatic: But
for the statesman in him, he would
have been more a poet; but for the
poet in him, he would nave been less
a statesman" The third is the ex-
quisite material dress, Of paper and
type. with which the publishers have
invested the volume. and which would
have delighted Hays own fastidlous
taste; and also the frontispiece por-
trait, which is quite perfect.
Yet il is with feeling of profound
regret that those Of us who knew and
loved Hay must regard this volume.
That is partly because he did not
write more. We accept his sons dis
corning explanation, and still we re-
gret that it had 70 be so. The poet
who could write "The Surrender Of
Spain," "a Woman's Love" "On PITT
Vanguard" and "Atavism" and others
OF his sonnets had all the lofty slopes
of Parnassus at his command. And
our regret is also partly at the thought
that he can write no more-now, when
there is set a theme which would
have appealed to him above all others
that ever inspired his pen. We echo
the cry of Wordsworth to Milton,
Thou should'st be living at this
hour!" Imagination pictures the
white-hot frenzy of his righteous
wrath against the Hunnish beasts
that have defiled with false faith the
diplomacy and international law which
he loved and practised, and that have
menaced the democracy for which he
had so supreme a passion. AS we re-
call his early verses on The Sphinx

The book before us is called novel.
Really, it is an Epic of Love. In
nineteen separate and independent
chapters we had almost said cantos
it tells Of the love of man and a
woman for each other. and for their
offspring. in so many different ages,
beginning with the Tree Folk before
even the Cave Man, and coming down
to the Reign Of Terror. Obviously, the
portrayal of manners and customs in
the Forest Age and in the Stone Age
Of the Cave Man. and, indeed, in the
Communal House. and even in the
huts of the first individualists, is
largely imaginative; but at least in
the attribution of love and its mani
festations the romancer is on secure
ground. In the later scenes, in Egypt,
Babylon. Greece, Rome, Persia and
among the Goths, a fine fidelity to
the known facts of history is pre-
served. More and more clearly, in
each successive romance. is il shown
both how love controls the affairs Of
the world and how it is controlled or,
rather, used by them. And through
IL all the immutability Of the ruling
passion appears. 1t is a noteworthy
book. with a charm of literary work

A Messianic Vision
Some Daring Imagination OF a
Second Advent

HE COMING. By j. c snAth. lcmc. ~. 81.
D. Appleton & Co.
The field Of fiction is the universe.
There is no place, there is no state OF
being, there is no relationship, when
is exempt from essays of the magma
ton. At one end of the gamut we have
had the most intimate physical rela-
tionships of humanity exploited not IN
what Manto, Marble called the Keen
bright sunlight of publicity but IN the
penetrating and revealing but morbid
iustre of the tinted limellght oil the
painted stage. Here, at the other, we
have the romantlcists deplcton OIL the
second advent of the Messiah. Perhaps
we should feel no surprise. Only the
other day we had another fiction writer
exploiting his conceptions Of what God
ought to be. 1t is a quite logical next
step TO portray incarnate Deity as the
chief figure in a novel.
Il is a daring performance, and we
expect that some will disapprove 1t as
blasphemous. The company OF Ferry
Henningtons is numerous. But II
seems TO US to be instinct with sincere
reverence and unfailing dehcacy OF
treatment: far more so than the Ia
miliar "Old Pal" attitude and tone
toward Deity assumed by some occu-
pants Of the pulpit. It's weaknesses
are obvious; in the early preparation
of the Messiah, in the use that is made
or attempted of stage play, and IN
other respects. But equally obvious
are its elements Of impressive and
triumphant strength. Most admirable,
too. is the character drawing, to the
very life. Of the vicar, with his COM
pound of loyalty and bigotry. We have
seldom seen that not uncommon type
Of clergyman more accurately por-
trayed.
The work will call forth both praise
and blame. and will deserve both; but
IL will assuredly receive widespread
measure of the serious attention which
IL also merits.
