 For IS years Dr. McNeill conducted evangelistic missions on the largest scale all over the British Empire, and beyond it's bounds. For six months he was with the great evangelist, pr. Dwight l.. Moody (beloved of Americans whenever and wherever his name is mentione6, during the worlds fair in Chicago.
 Dr. Moody, in speaking of this con genial work with Dr. McNeill, declared tbat he (Moody) and John McNeill were the " heel horses in the team.
 Dr. McNeill resigned his charge in Den yer in September, 1916. at the call of the national executive of the British Young Mems Christian association, to go to London to take part in the religious war work in the various Y. M. >C A. huts.
 pr.

Dr. McNeills mind is all l daylight; there are no subtle half tones ol sensitive reserves; no significant shadows of silence; no landscape fading through purple mists in a romantic dis ! tance.. All is clear, obvious, emphatic, and while never raising his voice above colloquial there is a vim and direct appeal in every word he says that is vital, poignant, straight as an arrow, | To get away from old ''isms' and "creeds" and to enjoy the freedom of an l awakened conscience, these are the two

M E. JOHN McNEILL started fife
 ] with two enormous advantages; he was born Scotsman and he was destined to follow the noblest call ing known to man-the ministry
 To be born 8 Scotsman is to be born with silver spoon in ones mouth it is to be born, as it were. into the governing family.
 We English are hewers of wood and drawers of water for our Caledonian mas ters, writes a well known Englishman of letters. Formerly they used to raid our borders and steal our cattle, but they kept 10 their soil: in those happy days an Englishman had a chance; today the Scotsman have not only captured our cattle, but our empire: they sit in the seats of the mighty, and from Westmin- ster to Canada their presence is felt.
 The head of the English church is a Scotsman and his brother of York came out of a Scotch Presbyterian manse; The Premier" is usually a Scotsman, and if not Scotch, he sits for a Scotch constituency. and the Lord Chancellor. the Keeper of the Kings conscience is a Scotsman, too.
 Whenever an Englishman wants booT to read all he has to do is to step over to Skibo castle and Mir Andrew Carnegie, Scotsman, will send him any Look that he desires from his library
 Next to being born a Scotsman, pr. McNeill was most fortunate in his "cau ing'; from the little village of Houston, in Renfrewshire, near Paisley, the grea "threadopolis" of the world. which Is pr. AIcNeill's birthplace, after serving short while in the railway service, he turned his attention to the ministry, and for S2 years this godly man has lent the influence of his great mind and broad in tellect to the preaching of the Sospe and for g years he has reaped the full harvest of a life well spent in good deeds.
 pr. McNeill is not only distinguished for intense piety, deep ecclesiastical earning, and eloduenee in the pulpit ,,ut for his thorough and intimate know ledge of the world, of politics, or SoVefH- ments, the social welfare of peoples ana even the secular interests of business his broad, analytical mind energeticallS applied to the study of vital questions has enabled him to reach practical anc intelligent conclusions and when h' speaks his words bear vast import.
 This worldwide experience on various lines has come to pr. McNeill through the versatility of his work and the dlI1er ent parts of the world to which he has been assigned in his ministerial duties.

By Andre Fribourg The Macmillan com
 pany, publishers, New York city.
 'The Flaming Crucible; the Faith of the
 Fighting Men, is the title of volume
 by Andre Fribourg, a translation from the French made by Arthur B. Maurice. ''This book is one of the most remark able documents that have come out of a war that has used more ink, as it has burned more powder, and shattered more lives, than all the previous wars of his-
 tory combined. Just as the battles with
 which it deals are analogous to no battles
 OF the past, the book is analogous to no other book within the range of the trans
 lator's reading and memory. :"
 Imagine a schoolmaster, perhaps, if
 one reads closely between the lines, a bit
 of a pedant living in an old house in an
 old quarter of Paris, with his books and
 his limited circle of intimate friends. Like thunderbolt the war comes, and, put ting aside all that is dear to him, he goes forth ardently to bear his share of the sacred burden of defending La Patrie. Though he fights very bravely and efficiently, he is at heart, not a sol dier, or rather he is soldier only spirit
 ually In the shock of battle, or in the
 mud and water of the trenches, his body serves, but his mind is always the mind of the schoolmaster, alert, and ever re- cording the passing and dominant im- pression Of a finer organism than his companions, he suffers far more than they suffer, for in addition to his own agony, he feels the responsibility of bear ing a share of their burden. And in the great common pain and sorrow he learns the great lessons of love and faith.

inherits all of the idealism and part of the visionary quality of his parents these are but a few of them.
 The characters are all alive and the incidents in which they figure compose what is sure to be voted a notable ad- dition to American fiction.
 Tn the Heart of a Fool" presents a striking character and around this cen- tral figure gives us a picture that in cludes the whole of the middle west and it's development from, an agricultural settlement to a flourishing industrial community.
 It is American through and through in it's spirit, it's intimate knowledge of everyday American life, it's dialogue, it's fun, it's pathos.
 In it the spiritual drama of America is played, with it's clash of ideals so vivfdly brought into the light in the throes of the great war, The final triumph of the new American ideal-so- cial justice, an equal share for all in the higher spiritual life-is boldly pro- claimed in story of most absorbing interest.
 BIRTH.
 By Zona Gale The MacMillan company, publishers, New York city.
 In this novel Birth Zona Gale tells the appealing story of two generations Marshall and Jeffrey Pitt. All the crafts rnanship of the 'Friendship Village" stories is here-the humorous, sympathetic powers of observation, the penetrating in- sight into motives and character.
 The theme is one which involves many people and illustrates a spiritual law, It is book of commanding interest; per haps Miss Gales most important work to this time.
 With her fresh novel, "Birth,' zona Gale, one might say, arrives. This is not to assume that Miss Gale reaches here the ultimate desire of her heart in fine story telling, but she takes herself forward a long step beyond any previous achievements; far beyond the sympathetic agreeableness of her widely known folk stories of 'Friendship Will lage."
 This is, indeed the consensus of opin- ion of all those who have read the new volume by the Wisconsin novelist. Miss Gales previous work has been charming, everybody agrees in that; but the new book not only has charm of manner but

"BUILDERs OF DEMOCRACY" By Edwin Greenlaw, Ph. D. Scott Fors- man X Co.,, publishers, Chicago.
 "Builders of Democracy" by Edwin Cireenlaw may be used as supplement- ary text in history and English classes or an Independent text The selections taken from q wide variety of sources constitute a body of patriotic literature that will not fail to appeal to boys ana girls to whom love of country in these stirring times is becoming very real thing.
 But the book is designed also to serve several purposes not included Tn the usual idea of a mere reader. The first or these may be defined as propaganda for good citizenship, which is ap- preached from a somewhat new angle. The chief purpose of the book is this pre- sentation of definite conception or democratic citizenship. Interest and con- creteness are gained through the poems' stories extracts from histories of hlgh literary value, and even state papers which are used as illustrations of thls conception.
 The selections have been chosen in such a way as to present. concretely and cumulatively, conception or pa ttiotfsm that is founded on doing as well as belieVing on conduct as well as emo tion on cooperation of all for the goo1 of all as the ideal of democracy.

motives that actuate Dr. McNeill's ut terances.
 Some people stay in the church feeble and sick" says he, with merry twinkle in his eye, "illustrating how dead and buried many church members are; a. ways sick, but they never die"
 This reminds me of the question asked once by great churchman:
 How long is it since religion was such an invalid that it could only go out in a closed carriage with gentleman in black suit and a white tie on the box?'
 Dr. McNeil1 insists that religion IS an active pedestrian who wants plenty of fresh air and beautiful sunshine.
 He admonishes those who have allied themselves with Christian forces to hold
 their heads up high because they have got something to be proud of; because
 they have joined the greatest army in the world.
 Nobody cares to belong to little things" he says, in his delightful Scotch way If your boy is in a small office,
 he doesn't point with much pride to 1t; but put him in big office and he is as proud as he can be to tell you about it." pr. McNeill. with his keen sense of humor, told the Graded Union in ad-
 monishing them against "cut and dried'' methods and theories, of how youngster once told in later life, that he was baptized by bishop in a cathedral at , the age of one month; later he was vac cinated; and at 16 he was confirmed,
 but none of them took" which was illus trative of what he declares is the attltuue of the average man you meet; and then
 he tells of how, when he was a boy ana went to church. he counted the dla-
 mond shaped glasses in the big stained glass windows of the edifice dur | ing the prosy sermon, always re- membering the one with the bull S. eye" shot through 1t; and thus he gives vivid picture of the prosy, theoreticaI preacher, during whose sermons most or
 the congregation sleep peacefully ana l tranquilly.
 Truly, the punch IS what Dr' 4ie
 Neill advocates in the ministry as well i as in the work of the Sunday school 1 teacher. for upon these two depend the i training of the future generations of the world.
