THE BOOK SHELF
"PROPHECY AND ATITHnRITY :,

PROPHECY AND AUTHORITY"
 By hemper Fullerton. The Macmillan company, publishers, New York city tkeVlew by Dr. J. E. Dillard, pastor of the Southside Baptist church)
 There are few subjects of religious char acter that have been more generally mis- understood than the subject of Biblical propnecy Many people, perhaps most people, think that a prophecy is a fore telling or prediction of things that are to occur in the future; that the Bible prophecy is kind of almanac that gives sclehtlhc data as to coming events. The result has been that many have read, and stlll do read the BlDie not to discover and enjoy and practice it's glorious ethical and religious teachings, but to discover hid den meanings and foreshadowings of . future events. Every age has a great company of pious men seeking to unveil the future and forecast the worlds his tory by what they find in the old Testa- ment prophecies.
 All this grows out of wrong idea of prophecy. prophet is not one who necessarily foretells the future, but he is one who has received a message and pours it forth. He must first have a message and second, he must tell it. The message might concern the past, present or future. Most generally it was a message to the times rebuking the sins of the peo- pie, calling upon them for repentance and restitution and promising forgiveness if they repen ted and destruction if they did not. The greatest prophets were moral and social reformers and statesmen. We do violence to their messages if we at tempt to read future predictions into them.
 There has been whole literature of this kind gotten out in Revelations and finding the war even to minute details foretold in the Bible. This method of in- depreciation has disturbed many good people, crippled their usefulness and re- suits in disappointment
 A recent book by Kemper Fullerton of Oberlin entitled Prophecy and Author ity (A1acMillan) gives a study in the his tory of the doctrine and interpretation of scripture The method of study is his torical; the conclusion is that the prophets 'are not to be thought of as uttering engmas which neither they nor anyone else could understand, but they were men thoroughly alive to the histori- cal situations of their own day and gener ation. in which they were intensely ac- tive workers" The author believes this conception of the prophets gives moral grandeur and significance to their work; that they were preachers of righteousness and expounders of pure religion in the midst of the moral darkness and chaos of the ancient world
 Not all the conclusions of the writer will be acceptable to the average reader,

Birmingham Mans Right Knee Was Swollen as Big as His Head, and of a Deep Blue Color; So Painful Could Not Sleep BODY FULL OF PAIN Lumps on His Elbows and Left Knee; Arms and Hips Sore and Stiff-Dreco Produced Wonderful Re suits for Him

Many renarkable cases have been re- ported, as to the great good Dreco has accompIished-this one seems to beat all others On June 17th this man gave a signed, witnessed statement, as to how he was improving on Dreco, and on June 24th he gave second statement. also signed and witnessed. He is MT. E. Mckenzie of 4513 Avenue F, Birmingham, Ala, and says:
 q have been in bad shape from rheu- matism, all crippled up. My arms, legs knees, elbows and shoulders were sore, stiff and extremely painful. I had humps on elbows and left knee- Many night l could not sleep on account of the intense suffering. Long ago I quit eating meat, as I was told it made my rheumatism worse.
 My right knee was swollen as big as my head and was of dark blue color, and no one knows how 1t pained me. I had many doctors call to see me, but none ever helped that knee.
 T take pleasure in publicly stating that Dreco has brought great relief to my sufferings. The swelling in my right knee has gone down Very much I can now swing my arms by my side; my elbows and ankles are supple, and I can bend them without pain. The Jumps on my elbows are gone; I am now eating meat again. My condition is wonderfully improved, and Dreco did it, and I don't hesitate to give it all the credit due"
 Dreco does not contain any iron. mer- cury. potash, acids or oils, but is made from the juices and extracts of many herbal plants, which combine with the juices of the stomach very pleasantly, and act on the vital organs.
 Dreco knocks rheumatism out shortly: relieves catarrh of the head and stomach; makes you sleep soundly and creates a good appetite. As a blood purifier, noth- ing can equal Dreco. It puts a stop to boi1s eczema and other blood affections
 All good druggists now sell Dreco and is highly recommended in Birmingham by North Drug company. Dreco is also sold in Bessemer bv the Fulton Drug company. in Fairfield by Halrs phar- macy, in vivian by Central pharmacy.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray. streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luXuriant. Just a few applications will prove revela- tion if your hair is fading. streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul- phur recipe at home, though, is trou- blesome An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other in gredients.
 While wispy. gray, faded hair is not sinful we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and atractive- ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound no one can tell, because It uoes it SC naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morn ing all gray hairs have disappeared and after another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy. soft and luxuNant.-Adv.

 Here are twelve men presented, insofar as American literary forms are concerned. in new way. In these twelve studies of typical American and very appealing characters. Mir. Thedore Dreiser has com promised apparently. between the free and creative color of the short fiction form which he showed in Free" and the colder and more stated order of the con ventional biography. On the other hand. the facts and the romance of each of these individual studies might we'll have made novel after the most approved Dreiserian manner.
 Interesting enough, "A True Patri- arch" '~The Doer of the World" and "rhe Country Doctor were sold and published as short stories, and evidently accepted as such by the general public: yet most distinctly they are not One thing that may be interesting of the collection as a whole, is that 1t covers adequately and successfully vast panorama of Ameri- can life. What is still more interesting, no one of the fields of the different sketches impines upon that of any other.
 A full, moving and even seething pie ture of American life, painted more ar tistically than anything MT. Dreiser has ever done. These twelve men are real thouSdnuS Will guess WHO they were anu are. The book has drama, color, pathos, humor. It is a panoramic portrait which takes in the author himself. Dreiser gives us his own reactions to the per- sonalities of his friends.

THE PALISTER CASE"
 By Edgar Saltus. Bond & Liveright, Inc, publishers, New York city
 H. L. Mencken recently alluded to I'm perial Purple" the clever novel by Ed gar Saltus as perhaps the finest example of brilliant gaudiness in words ever concocted in America. E Imperial Purple" precedes 'sThe Paliser Case by a number of years and yet the same brilliant array of adjectives, verbs and adverbs. the sar1e marvellous vocabu- lary exists, for which the author is world famous.
 ''The Paliser Case' is a tunning story of mystery-every page holding out limit less interest for the reader-every sen- tence involving a tremendous desire on the part of the peruser to know what is coming next.
 tThe Palser Case" is not the great American novel; it is merely a drama of gold, of pain, of curious crime and the heart of girl. There are some char acters in 'The Paliser Case" that will live long in American fiction. Beware of beautiful Cassy Cara. She may go to your head. Monty Paliser might have sprung from Moliere-it's amazing how all of Saltus' characters live in one's mind. And SaItus is one of America's most bril- liant writers. Read "The Paliser Case" and. when you have, put it away, don't give it away, for you will want to read it again.
