Youth Finds Adventure

eyes or youth in Elizabeth Jordan,s
novel. The Wings of Youth" And
since we proverbally find that for which
we look. the big city proves to be a
region of romance and adventure for
Lawrence and Barbara Devon. The re-
alities of life in New York. its ruthless
ness and heedlesSnCss. its bitterness and
soaring materialism are obIgingly ironed
out of Miss Jordan's fictional picture
that no unpleasant ColorS may Jinger in
the readers memory
The two young people whom Miss Jor-
dan presents have delightful. aristo-
cratic home in their own town. but
their enforced inactivity chafes them +;
they become discontented for very lack
of something to do. So the girl pro-
poses that they try their luck in New
York, and the story tells of their va
ried struggles and eventual success and
happiness. Laurie discovers that he has
latent ability as a playwright, and his
experiences with folk of the stage are
Interestingly described. Barbara meets
persons of widely dissimilar types, and
her adventures range from long and te-
dious work addressing envelopes where
she comes to know the Eolshevils
stratum of New York life. to the love
of a man well worth while.
THE Wings of Youth" is written in
the same sprghtly manner that won
many readers for the authors stories
of scIioolgirk life Its view of life is
optimistic and it's characters and their
concerns are always wholesome.

in blood kinship and ideas.
From the beginning of their history,
in the ninth century, the Scandinavian
countries have materially affected the
course of European affairs. The hardy
and adventurous Vikings Jared far

influence that England today owes her
prestige on the seven seas. Their cru

the physical hardihood of the Scandi-

The story of the Scandinavians is told
by Doctor Stefansson in fascinating
style. Excess of detail is avoided en-

covered adequately and accurately. En-
tertainment and information are Ideally
blended, making the book an admirable
history for younger readers.

Socializing Religion

Ethical and spiritual values have been
more deeply shaken during the last four
years than during the four preceding
centuries. The war has vitality altered
the aspect of religion and its function
in the present-day world, and in the
opinion of Eugene w. Lyman, professor
of the philosophy Of religion at Union
Theological Seminary, the need of the
hour is to accept God as an active, help
fulforce,
In The Experience of God In Modern
Life" Doctor Lyman deals with the sub
ject in relation to the development Of
personality, social progress and cosmic
evolution. Without denying the attri-
butes of omnipotence or infinity, his in
depreciation of God as a spiritual force
in the lives of men is essentially rational
istic. and so appeals strongly to the ma
jority. His views are set forth honestly
and vigorously he protests against any
moratorium for theological and reli-
gious thinking during the period of the
war" Society has thoroughly discred-
tied ''the old empirical medicine by
which we used to poultice the social
order" 1t Is the mission of religion to
promote social health through the new
spiritual antisepsis and hygiene. The

It is not a pleasant picture Of stage
