truth can find in The Adventure Of Lie
precisely such reconciliation Of religion
to his science as DR.. Drummond provided
in Natural Law in the Spiritual World
of science to the religious thought of his
day.
1t would perhaps be doing DR.. Mae
Kenna an injustice to leave the impre sion
that in writing The Adventure Of Life he
had such an expressed and conscious pur-
pose in mind. And II what have written
so far, which is rather the reflex Of the
effect of the book as a whole upon a
single reader, conveys the impression that
The Adventure Of Life is either a>religious
tract or O ponderous scientific treatise, /
apologize both to the author and to the
readers Of this page. DR.. MacKenna wrote
this book for every one to read, and it is
much more than a merely readable piece
of literature. Some one has said that the
test of books quality is its adaptability
to be read aloud. The Adventure of Life
is fairly erammed with phrases, para
graphs, pages and whole chapters that
impel the reader to seek an audience to
admire the simple clearness of the style,
the beauty of the thought or the delight
full lucidity of the expression of scientific
truths that are usually obscured by tech
meal verbiage.
A physician and surgeon, serving
throughout the war in an army hospital,
DIR. MacKenna wrote The Adventure Of
Life in the intervals of his exacting pro-
fessional duties and under the impelling
influence Of continuing contact with mani
;fcstations of the phenomenon of life to
account for which neither science alone
nor religion in the ordinary sense of the
word is adequate. And out of these sur
roundings he has given us a book that
radiates the most buoyant optimism. To
the materiahst he shows that even though
matter itself may be non-existent except
as impressions upon the mind, as some
religious creeds maintain and as science
may presently demonstrate, there is never
theless a place and vital part in the
scheme of things for the knowledge that
comes only through the exploration of
the mysteries of matter. To those who
would relate every least incident to the

nUr Of the travail and agony Of the
. Great War there has come to man
kind spiritual rebirth. The evidences
OF il are all around us. One has but to
take note of the avidity with which men
and women who had not before concerned
themselves with other than their own ma
terial interests are to-day relating to their
everyday lives such immaterial abstrae-
tons as justice, Righteousness, honor, lib
erty and the like. 1t would, of course, be
as absurd to contend that humanity has
been completely evangelical by the war
as it would be to believe that it has passed
through the fiery furnace and come out
unchanged. But just as the war itself
was in its very essence struggle between
the forces of materialism and the spiritual
concept of human life and duty, so in the
lives of the men and women who will
populate the new world that is even now
arising from the ashes of the old the issue

will, for a time at least, be more sharply
drawn than it has been before in the
common affairs of man. 1t Is peculiarly
meet and fitting, therefore, that just now,
when the thought of the whole world is
sending out new roots, seeking firm and
fertile soil upon which to grow and fruc-
tify anew, there should appear book to
which every one who still doubts the Divine
purpose and plan may turn and find his
doubts resolved. if they be removable by
evidence; in which every one who believes
In a Power above brute force and blind
accident ruling the destinies of the world
may find not alone justification for his
faith but the means wherewithal to con-
flute the arguments of those who would
rest the case for materialism upon the
results of scientific research.
: Such a book is DIR. Robert w. Mac
Kenna's The Adventure Of Life. Since
the publication, nearly forty years ago,
of Drummond's Natural Lalc IN the Spir-
itaal Word There has been no such salts
fying and conclusive attempt to reconcile
science and religion. Perhaps it would be
more accurate TO call it an Interpretation

Divinity he shows each fresh discovery OF
science as an added revelation of the COM
pleteness and harmony Of the Divine plan,
knowledge Of which is as essential il
man is TO avoid violation Of the laws Of
God and the inevitable punishment there
for as is the knowledge of the laws of the
state which every citizen is assumed to
have.
And to the average reader, for whom
after all The Adventure Of Life has the
widest appeal, here is book that tells
coneisely and entertainingly what IS
known and what remains to be discovered
of the beginning of things, the origin of
life, the place Of our world and we who
dwell upon it in the universal scheme, the
operation of our own bodily machines and
the laws governing them, and leading
from these Fundamentals to the discus
sion and the explanation of such mysteries
of life as pain and suffering, the discipline
of sickness, the magic of the will and the
fortitude of the human soul. "The spirit
of Sir Philip Sydney is not dead" writes
DR.. MacKenna out of the fulness of the
awful years of war as it was brought home
to him in the hospital. "You may find it
in a boy from the Sums" And again:
'fFor a mans soul is big thing and no
circumstances can triumph over it."
Extremists may quarrel with DIR. Mac
Kenna's conclusions. Sound and modern
as are his statements of scientific truths,
the biologist who, because he has not yet
seen the soul with his microscope, denies
its existence, may still be uneonvinced.
The devout and religious who holds all
truth to be contained between the covers
of Holy Writ will not accept Divine au-
tbority of laws which, though as old as
life, are but now being newly codified.
Bnt to the great majority who, consciously
or unconsciously, believe that revelation
did not cease at Patmos and who "doubt
not through the ages one increasing pur-
pose runs" The Adventure Of Life will
come as a source OF inspiration and har-
binger Of new day.

The Soulof Ann Rutledge'

tn HE devotion Of Abraham Lincoht in
i his early manhood to the young
girl Ann Rutledgs, who died before mar
rage was possible for them, is the his
torical fact on which The So.l Of Amn
R,aIedqe is based The historical fact is
simple and touching; and perhaps it is
true, as many have thought, that the
memory of that quiet grave in the coan-
try lent the look of sadness that LineoiNs
face almost habitually wore. His mar\
rage had its unhappy moments, and
probably the affection he gave his wife
was different from the wholehearted Ne
votion he felt for this love Of his youth
But we may question whether it is alto
gether fitting that fiction should be HIN
gied with fact In the case Of such q man
as Lincoln, particularly where the mix
ture is pretty certain to be swallowed by
many readers as unmixed truth.
The novel reads fairly well as a realistic
narrative of primitive life in the country,
of homely ways and simple hearts. Many
of the usual specimens of I.incolniana are
reproduced here, but the writer has CON
trivcd nothing Of special portr;itural
value. She has a good, deal to say BON
corning Lincoln's religious beliefs, but no
fresh light to throw upon them. The
preface says:
an an age when the cynical opinion is
too often heard that between men and
women there can be no different or more
lasting love than the mating instinct of
animals, and at time when the death of
millions of the worlds best men Ahas
brought into fresh insistence the age old
question, IF man die, shall he live
againT fresh and different setting Forth
of Abraham Lincoln's master passion for
a woman, and his calm and unshakahle
faith in immortality, may be of more
than usual interest and value"

Fitting Men to Jobs

NHE pressure of war necessities did
much to revolutionize teaching
methods. Not only in the army, where
men had to he trained with the utmost
speed 10 perform their military tasks
and many other classes of service, but in
the shipbuilding industry, munitions
plants and other points behind the lines
new methods bad 10 be devised or old
methods speeded up for determining
quickly and accurately the fitness of a
particular person for a particular job
and making trained workers speedily out
Of the unskilled.
The methods thus devised have natu-
rally an important application in times
of peace. Whatever serves to shorten
the apprenticeship of any worker in any
field of labor is Of value to the worker in
that it enables him to more quickly in
crease his earning capacity. and of value
20 the employer in reducing the expense
and time required 10 bring his business
10 higher standard of efficiency. Two
books that may be regarded as the fore
runners of considerable literature based
upon the methods first applied on a large
scale during the war are The Instructor:
The Ban ana the Job, by Charles X. AL
len of the Federal Board of Vocational
Education, who was during the war as
sistant superintendent of training for the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, and Com
mercial Tests qnd Hon. 10 Use Them, by
Sherwin Cody. managing director of the
Associate Schools OF Scientific Business.
Mr.. Aliens book explains with remarka-
bic clearness and precision of detail ex-
aetly how workers are taught in large
groups to perSbrm specific jobs for which
some elementary training is required;
there are special references all through
the book to the methods of teaching riv-
eters and other shipyard workers used
during the war, but the principles are SO
clearly indicated that they can be ap-
piled by tire Use of this book in the
training of almost any class of mechanics.
Mr.. Cody's book is equally detailed. 1t
Is obviously of special value in testing

employment in office or clerical work un
