The Rib of the Man, his latest
play. just published by the Harpers,
is termed by the author "a play OF
the new world"-that is. the world
wherein HE hath made all things
new. It expresses a passionate hope
for the hetterment Of the world and
a vision of the way il may be
brought about. The action takes
place before a villa on an island in

that they would be disciples indeed
He foresaw that some Of them would
not continue in his love. and we
