/" HIS is an unusual novel, or.
more accurately. within this
novel there Is an unusual
character creation. Ono must turn
to the Russians for such uneoverins
of a human being. The effect is at
times disconcerting: the reader feels
that he is looking at some kind OF a
surgical operation revealing the
mechanism Of man.
Charles Hoyland is a personifloa-
tion OF selhshness. There is little
of tho Anglo-Sax0n in him. The
author seems to have realized this in
making him half Russian and en-
phasizing his resemblance to his
Slavic mother. Mrs. Hoyland and
her son understand each other.
When. in the opening chapter of
the book. she arrives at her London
home to find that her son has sold
her household effects without her
knowledge he well knows that if II
were not for the fact that his convic-
ton on a charge of grand larceny
would injuro her she would let the
law take its course. The ruling OF the
law. however. as they both learn, is
that the unfortunate auctioneer is re-
sponsiole. and 50 Mrs. Hoyland is sat
isfied. while Charles HoylaDd retains

ter after chapter Of keen humor
Jasmine experiences first the stilted
family life of her Uncle Hector's
household at scarborough. During
her wait between trains at York she
has unfortunately made the ac-
quaintance Of ono Harry Wharf.
This acquaintance is hindered from
development by the yearnings Of Sir
Hector's two daughters, Pamela and
Lettice. Pamela and LeStice are
quite too reminiscent OF the proud
and naughty sisters of the Cinder-
ella legend to be real human beings,
but Mr.. Mckenzie succeeds in MAX

credible.
Young Wharf. by the way, al

one untrammeled character in the
book. No one deyotes more than a
paragraph or so to his ancestry and
backgrounds. Whether he is politely

This escape of the characters now

truth of the theory that once a hero
or heroine takes the story into his or
her own hands an author should be
content to follow along. acting only
as the amanuensis Of his creations.

reaches for his notebook to draw

PRINCIPLE SACRIFICED FOR THE
SAKE OF GAIN.

Could the materialism of the pres
ent age be more tellingly described
than in the following passage from
one of Newman's Oxford sermons
preached though it was nearly cen
fury ago, and while he was still a
minister of the English establish
ment? II it were true of the England
of that time, it is doubly so of Eng
land and the world today. The preach
er is contrasting Abraham and Lot,
the one without spot or blemish," in
his trust in God, the other who,
saved as by fire." for time showed
a disposition to make the most of
both worlds" Now" Newman pro-
ceeds, 'tas to the temper of this coun-
try, consider fairly, is there any place,
any persons, any work, which our
countrymen will not connect item
selves with, in the way of trade or
business? For the sake of gain, do
we not put aside all considerations of
principle as unreasonable and almost
absurd? Is there any spec
ulation or commerce which religion is
allowed to interfere WITH. Do We
care what side of quarrel, civil. po-
litical, or international, we take, so
that we gain by it?
"Do we not serve in war, do we not
become debaters and advocates. do we
not form associations and parties with
the supreme object of preserving prop
crty, or making it? Do we not sup
port religion for the sake of peace and
good order? Do we not measure it's
Importance by it's efficacy in securing
these objects? Do we not support it
only SO far as it secures them? :.
NAY, further still, could we not
easily persuade, ourselves to support
anti-Christ? l will not say at home,
but, at least, abroad, rather than we
should lose one portion of the freights
which the ships of Tarshish bring us?
If this be the case in any good meas
ure, how vain it is to shelter ourselves
under the notion that we are moral,
thoughtful, sober-minded, or religious
people!"

BOOKS IN THE HOME.

"a home without a library is poorly
furnished. It may be only a small

rare nor costly-no first editions, no
rich bindings, no extra illustrated

man natures daily food But by its

word to bring our hearts and minds
into communication with other ages,
other lands, and perhaps with those
regions which are beyond the horizon

But library without religious
books is certainly very imperfect. It
has no message and no sustenance for
that part Of our nature which, how
ever it comes to us, is beyond doubt
the most important, because it's needs
are so vital that to leave them I'M
satisfied means intellectual and moral
starvation.
Zone reason why some OF the
younger generation land quite as
many If not more of the older genera
tom seem to have frivolous, restless,
and unsatisfied minds today, is be-
cause so many of our modern homes
have no real religious books in them
Old volumes of sermons, perhaps, and
records Of theological disputes and
quarrels, may be found in dusty cor
ners of the bookcase or on the top
shelves of closets. But these are not
what l mean by real religious books

and ultimate desires of the human
spirit, and with mans natural longing

source of life and its final goal
Books of this kind are of the deepes,
interest and of the highest value
Some Of them are ancient, and OF
these it seems to me the Bible is in.

A WORD TO PARENTS.

DR.. Rachelle Yarros, consulting
physician with the U. S. Department
of Health, says that parents and
teachers are mainly to blame for the
lack of moral principle so noticeable
among the young people of today,
and suggests as remedy: Give them
standards at home and school to live
by-standards that will make the
future so fine and beautiful that they
will care only for the better things.
Give them vision to guide them, and
your problem wifi be solved"
That is good enough advice, as far
as it goes; but how are higher stand.
ards to be inculcated in homes where
they are not habitually maintained by
the adults? How can wild children
be tanned as long as adult wildness is
not subdued? asks the Echo.
It is well-known psychological
fact, says a recent writer, that the
conscience of childhood is formed
mainly by the influences that surround
the children, and that their notions of
good and evil are the result of the
moral atmosphere they breathe. The
responsibility of parents in this mat
ter is very grave indeed. There is no
substitute for the home in the up
bringing of children. Schools and
churches can but supplement the work
done at home. If there is no
foundation of moral principles laid
early upon the plastic mind of child.
hood by the parents, it is difficult to
establish it by exterior influences in
later life. The strongest influence in
the home is the parental example.
What makes the present situation well
nigh desperate is that SO many par.
ents are giving a bad example.
