In these studies we shall discover afresh for ourselves this Christian reformer pulling down the atrocious abuses and monstrosi ties that had come to crip- pie the education of children, pervert the purposes of courts and philan- thropic institutions, and from which millions of human lives were being darkened by injustice and blighted by seIfishness and sim
 But Dickens was more than d re- former. In thousand ways and places he sets forth his great faith in God, and his hope of immortality in a life to come. Indeed he Is diff ferentiated from the average reformer by the spirit and method in which he worked. A kindliness and faith in the better nature of shining men unlike that evineed by Jesus in His labors among the sinful and outcast | people of Judea and Gallilee. He was an ardent social reformer but never yielded to the heresy that individual responsibility Is nullified by untoward circumstances. In the midst of all his labors he. took time to prepare an edition of the New Testament spe- cisily adapted to children's needs to be Hsed in the training of his own children In his will we find these words: T commit my soul to the mercy of God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and l exhort my dear children honestly to try and guide themselves by the teachings of the New Testament in It's broad spirit. and to put no faith in any mans narrow construction of ts letter here or there.

By Hamilton Drummond. E. F. Dut-

 With Greater Than the Greatest and The Betrayers," MT. Hamilton Drummond set a very high standard of medieval historical romance.
 "A Maker of Saints" will be found to sustain this standard very fully. The period is the thirteenth century, and the background is Italy. Like a sumptuous tapestry, the author weaves together the rich and colorful strands of the interruptions intrigue, the reckless violence, and the pagan loveliness of the time. and a thread of gold, the story of a great love, gieams through even the darkest spots.

To the people of western Can ada the neat riding clothes of Ais tair Kilgour indicated that probably a little rough teasing would put the impertinent young man out of the country. But they made d mistake. They lived to acknowledge it. and if Lorraine was the last to learn her lesson, yet she perhaps took it most to heart. The moral of this tale is beware of a soft voiced Scotchman. Note the firmness of his mouth, and don't argue with him.
