Sir Oliver Lodges
Memoir, "Christopher"

ONE is likely to Imagine that Sir
" Oliver Lodges Christopher will be
another Raymond: or life and Death. and
it does resemble that in certain respects,
as all books must which deal with English
youths who have died in the early morn
ing of life. No communication with the
next world is recorded here, though it is
suggested, and so the two books are
sharply diffeHp.<-sed. Christopher is,
more than anything else, a study Of how
one mother has met grief, given US in the
form Of the memoir Of her son, Christie
pher Tenant, who was killed in Flanders
in 1917 at the age of 10 while serving as
Lieutenant in the Welsh Guards. A COM
plete biography of the boys life is given,
a memoir or rs T.Other, and his letters
from public ;Ssn1Is, Sandhurst and the
a month 49,. &c went on active service.
Letters from friends and fellow officers
written after his death are also included.
The Tenant family IS an old and hon
OraDle IilSilSn ldmlil, lidCllS iiS tlicSS-
try direct to Oliver Cromwell, and the hoy
Christopher received from his mother a
strain of pure Welsh blood which was
perhaps the strongest he had. Through
the marriage of an aunt he was related
10 Frederic Myers. whose works are
quoted frequently in this volume. He had
not lacked an opportunity in a worldly
way and he was possessed of the refine
mcnt and charm TO which such an environ
meni as his would naturally lead. He
went. rs have all others, the "way TO dusty
death" while he was still a boy. For
them all is gain: and even for us the gain
will ultimately outweigh the loss Lodge
says.
There is strength and comfort in these
pages and inspiration in the revelation of
how this one great sorrow which is typical
of almost every home in England has been
surmGumted.

CTORIES, sketches, dreams - these
- make up the contents of H>nry Van
Dykes latest book, The VALLEY Of Vision.
These have all seen previous publication
in magazines and are brought together
without much consideration for unity.
They are rather fugitive in form and in
style show the qualities of idealism and
poetry which usually inherc in DIR. Van
Dykes writing There is considerable
symbolism, expressive OF The religious Gle
ment which is strongly present in much
of the authors work. This may be illus
trated by the first study in the volume, 4
Remembered Dream, which pictures two
figures, counterparts of each other, one
pleading, the other proudly resisting the
appeal.

FRANCE, in common with the United

a historian and writer of uncommon
grace Of expression. Wherever the mar
ration of fact permits felicity OF phrase
throughout the pages Of Raymond Poin-
cares Hou France Is G0rerned the Presl-

permit the opportunity to pass by, as the
reader may note, for example, in the
opening paragraph Of his chapter on The

filed with the complete sense Of to what
remote antiquity so many villages and
towns Of France bark back. Nor do little
homely; familiar touches escape him, as in
the case of his mentioning, in the chapter
on The President Of the French Republic,

the Senators and Deputies hang up their

MADAM Constantia',~
By, w. B. MCCORMICK.


nR all the wars that have been fought
. VI in our country the Revolution still
savors more than any other of the TO
mantle And this glamour clings round its
memories, although we know that il was
a dreary time in the Colonies, time filled
with harshness, cruelty, heartbreaks, pow
erty and desolation. All of these ele-
ments abound in the pages Of Jefferson
Carriers Madam COHsto"tia. but most
of all it is the romance that thrills
through these pages, which purport to he
plucked from the journal 'of a prisoner
of war in the Revolution in South Car
DINA"
This prisoner was one Major Sir Ed
ward Craven of the Thirty-thrd Regiment
of Foot, who in an effort TO save his
orderly in the flight from the battlefield at
Kings Mountain had his Lorse shot down
under him and was taken captive by Capt.
Wilmer of the American forces. Mr.. Car
ter has the art to enshroud his tale from
the beginning with an air OF mystery that
is at once intriguing and filed with a sense
of foreboding out of which CLEANS no
light of its real cause Wilmer has a
daughter, the Madam Constantine of the
title. who lives on lonely plantation up
in the Carolina hill country with only an
ancient aunt for companion. Major Cra
ven's wounded arm makes his stay at the
plantation imperative until Marion, 'the
Swamp Fox makes his appearance on
the scene and puts the prisoner on parole.
From his plight he is rescued by "A band
of ruiding British officers who take him
back to Winnsboro, where Lord Rawdon
WAS temporarily in command Of Tarlcton's
forces.
But in that interval the prisoner had
fallen in love with Madam Constantia.

British headquarters at Winnsboro and at
the old mill on the Waterce fairly reek
with the atmosphere of romantic drama;
and some playwright has his three acts
ready here at his hand, settings and all.
But it is the story we are concerned. with,
and this may be appraised as one of first

reward Of dipping once more into that

Jams Tribute Possible.

THE weeks drive within Emmanuel
Baptist Church for the Roger Will
liams Memorial fund has been a tre-
mendous success" said the Rev. G. q.
johnson, pastor of Emmanuel, last
night. I'VE started out to raise $50. 900
within the congregation and We went
well beyond that figure.
I'VE will now continue our efforts
among the citizens of Washington
outside the congregation. Our pre-
liminary work gave US the greatest
encouragement. People seem to be
just waking up to the idea of a
memorial in Washington to the spirit
of religious liberty that Is one Of
the foundation stones of America, and
feel sure that II will not takc US
long to raise Washington's quota
"Our nationwide drive will begin
shortly. Two great Baptist conven-
tions are to be held in May, one at
Atlanta and one at Denver. I shall
attend both and others will be there
to press for action on the Roger
williams Memorial. We have in
sight several large contributions
from prominent men who are will
ing to subscribe IL Washington
leads off. This am sure Washing
ton will do"
Pledges already in hand amount
to something over $65.000 and the
local committee seems convinced
that the remainder of the necessary
800. 900 will be forthcoming.
