Mr.. Hannay properly devotes most OF

that is the era which it is most neces-
sary to understand in order to under
stand Alright his many years Of unbrok-
en- power and the great work which ne

tried to do for Mexico. There is an
exceptionally judicious account of the
Macmillan episode, which served to
bring Diaz to the front rank, includ-
ing quite the best vindication of Juarez
at Queretaro that we remember any
where to have seen. There is also a
keen analysis of the "rotative" sys-

last view of the pathetic figure of the

Scribners arc doing noble work IN
putting forth their South American
Series" of which the present volume Is
the thirteenth. There are no countries
in the world with which it is more
desirable that we should be well &C

are conveyed in these handsome vol

ought to have.

fallen to his hand the smallest two OF

competent treatment by no means the

Francia, of course, still clings TO Para

said about that plucky little state than
mere "reminiscences of that marvellous
despot, whom Carlyle so wanted to I'M
mortalize as a companion to Frederick
the Great. It's whole history has been
intensely interesting, its strategic
position is unrivalled, and its resources
and climate mark it as the seat of no
inconsiderable empire. Mr.. Koebel has
treated all phases of the subject in a
mastery manner; and he has added to
the work copious statistical and
documentary appendix of great value
for reference. The volume will take
its place with the others of the series

THE CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE OF PRAYER, 70
tied By Jane. Hastings d. ID. S'o, ~. H. 40
Charles scnbDers sons
The decay of doctrine is common
complaint in the religious world; or
has been, for through much repetition
il has become almost worn out ana
relocated to-desuetude. The old-fash-
toned "doctrinal" sermon is not merely
out Of fashion. II is under the ban;
under penalty of being delivered to
empty pews. Men will have none OF

lar demand of the times. made chlehy

sermon be doctrinal or topical. The
most exacting critic of the sermon IS
always the man who did not hear it.
We cannot, however, altogether won
der at the decline of interest IN doc
trine. even among sincere churchgoers'
seeing the manner in which Christian
doctrines have too often been pre-
sented. II is all very we'll for the
PRAYER Book to speak of comfortable
doctrines, but the fact is that the ex-
nression and exposition of them have

physically uncomfortable. For this
reason we must gratefully regard this
annearance of what is described as the
first of n short series of books or the
Great Christian Doctrines, not only
because of the purpose which IS thus
manifested to promote renewal OF IN
tcrest in and study of those doctrines
but also because of the manner IN
which the work is undertaken. For
this volume, of convenient size, IS at
once encyclopaedia in scope. readable IN

The Importance of prayer IN any
system of religion is obvious. In most
cases it is paramount and supreme. In
some form prayer has been and is an
inscparable and essential feature OF
every kind of worship, if not an APP
purteuance of every type of religious
belief. To Christianity, with its in

Blood and Thunder

TIRE EXPLOITS or JUvE Being the second Of
the Series Of the "FantornaS' Detective Tales.
BY Pierre Souvestyo and Marcel Allan. limo
pp vi. 299. Brentano's.
The Transformations of detective
tales present a curious study. Two or
three generations ago the few short
stories of that kind which were written
by Edgar A. Poe were looked upon as
the supreme type, and their chief
characteristic was absence of action.
There was a lot of psychology, intro
spection, speculation and ratiocination,
but little else. Next came the popular
school of Mrs. Green, typifed by "The
Leavenworth Case" of which investl-
CATION and mystery were the chief ele-
ments. With the admired advent of
Sherlock Holmes" came the most per-
feet combination of all elements, psy-
chology, deduction, investigation and
action. Now We have another school,
in which everything is subordinated TO
action, incessant, violent, eXtravagant
and destructive. 1t is the very antithe-
sis Of Poe; and good deal more inter-
esting TO the average reader.
The present volume is a good exam
pie of what we may call-without the
derogation commonly associated with
the phrase-the blood and thunder de
tective school. The desperate rivalry
between Fantonas and Juve surpasses
that Of Jean Vatican and Jayert. There
are the same harbreadth escapes and
ingenious devices, memorable purpose
ard unrelenting pursuit, startling sur
prises and achievements of the seem
ingly impossible; with more real vio-
lence and destruction. II is a capital
work Of its kind, we'll planned and we'll
written; and blood and thunder are
much preferable to pruriencc and
decay.

The Reality of Faith

BERGsoN AND RELIGION. BY Lncius Hopkins
Miller Assistant Professor OF Biblical Literature
in Princeton University. $40, I'D. 2s6. Henry
Holt Co.
While the brilliant French expositor
of Flux believes that the craving for
religious expression will remain, and
probably will grow stronger as time
goes on, he may not himself be accused
of being an officious defender of the
faith. Having defined the religious
feeling as the sense of not being alone
in the world. the sense of a relation
ship between the individual and the
spiritual sources of life, he promises
some day more freely to speak his mind
about the values bound up with reli-
gion. In the meantime, it is open to
any one TO ask whether it is practicable
TO adhere to Bergson's typical doctrine
and at the same time to hold hard by
the characteristic Christian affirma-

The Rergson theory of knowledge and

DIGEST takes just such bird'seye view of world
events and by reason of its very aoofness from
partizanship and its policy of presenting all sides
of all great issues it enables you to form Judg-

dependable, something that would be out OF the

public question. If you wish to think and act
