DR.. RAINSFORD'S
LIFE AND BELIEFS

In his first sermon at any church.
He was too self-conscious. He would
have abandoned preaching except for
the deep belief that he had a message
TO deliver. He is not q man who likes
10 talk about himself. and the impulse
TO write the book came from the feel
ing that his life has certain lessons.
The key to the book Is the authors
attitude toward individual religion and
toward the social mission of the
church.
AS a spiritual document DR.. Rains
fcrd's book vies with Cardinal New
mans "Apologia" in honesty of pur-
pose. He shows US the evolution Of
his creed. He has a chapter on the
Evangelistic movement which ex-
plains the Victorian epoch. The in
fiuences which affected his youth ara
clearly shown In his constant quota
ton of 'Thc Pilgrims Progress" He
treats the creed which he has OUT
grown with much reverence. He
says. "The banyan -ree's down thrust
ing branches root themselves slowly,
firmly, round the parent stem. After
a long time the central stem decays,
but its function well done, It's chill
dren prolong its life forever. So with
our dear old. beliefs. We owe all to
them, we are what we are because OF
them. Yet in their former shape they
exist for US no longer" Although DIR.
Rainsford outgrew Calvinism he adj
nired the men ii had produced and he
diverted its earnestness into new
channels. In individual religion he
advocated the quest for new truth. He
was in continual danger Of being
charged with heresy.
DR.. Rainsford believed that the
church should grow with the times.
He was practical in his grasp Of So
cial questions. He felt that the pro-
fessioral ecclesiastic repelled the poor
ard tho laboring man. He made a
bi ave fight to remedy this condition.
His first step was the free church. 1t
seemed to him that private ownership
of pews in the house of God was
sacrilege. He was the first preacher
to open his church on week days for
work and prayer. The uptown migra-
ticn of wealthy congregations seemed
to him desertion in the face of the
enemy. He organized mission on
Avenue A and built UP a Sunday
School which attracted the neighbor-
hood. He did not believe In trying
to cure evil conditions by reforming
the derelict as much as in preventing
misery and degradation by reaching
the young. His institutional church
was his big achievement. In his parish
house he encouraged athletics and
dancing. He did not believe in meth
DDS OF repression and was the pro-
fcssed foe CT the hired reformer. His
Biography shows him TO be link be-
tween the muscular Christianity OF
Charles Kingsley and the propagand-
ist fervor OF Bouck White.

or that eminent person against a
background Of larger action, but the
movement drags little.
This opening section deals with the
closing years Of the reign Of Alexander

era. started, measurably. by the
French Revolution. Alexander him
self is leading character; so, too.
IS the half negro poet, Pushkin, upon
whose adventures the chief threads
OF the plot are hung. Metternich and
bis wonderful Persian spy. the beauti-
full "Chali." are also important actors,
and there is an extraordinarily numer-
GUS company of lesser people, for the
most part historical personages, with
whom Mrs. Underwood has taken great
pains to be exact. 1t opens with q
meeting of the plotters at which Push
kin is present; he is only mildly in
terested, however, being in reality an
artist instead of a real revolutionist.
But there are plenty of others who
are in deadly earnest, and, later on,
there is an abundance of horrors.
1t ends in a smash, TO be followed by
a brief epilogue striking a mystic
note. 1t would require half a column.

clergymen In New York city. He was
closely associated with all types OF cit

OF the institutional church. An auto
biography by him ought to be very in

write it. This book IS valuable and

generallzes all his experience. The

EDITOR Book SECTIoN-Sr:
r WRITE to thank you warmly for
your publication of October 1 OF
= the attack made upon me by my
one-time friend. Herman Swank. who
accompanied me to the North Pole on
the most recent Traprock Expedition.
When I say I thank you. sir, please
believe that my gratitude is sincere.
1t is we'll known that Polar expedi-
tions are invariably split asunder. I'M
medately following their return to
civilization. by bitterness and recrimi-
nation on the part of some Of their
members. 1t needed only this outburst
of Swank's to add the last touch OF
authenticity to my recent adventure.
In running true to form with his ridi-
culous array OF charges the poor fell
low substantiates my remarkable
achievements which some have taken
lightly.
But I should be unfair to that
large public which, I am pleased to
say, has showed unbounded faith In
me, were I to dismiss idly this con-
ventional attack of my deluded COM
panion. A word Of explanation Is
surely due, word which, ! feel sure,
will not be interpreted as either apol-
ogy or excuse-nay, not even as de-
fense: for I have always scorned to
defend myself against the sings and
arrows Of caluminous envy. The name
of Traprock Is its own defense, and
ever shall be.
What, then, is the reason back OF
this treachery? Why should I thus be
stabbed in public place? To answer
convincingly it will be necessary to
examine two documents. first Swank's
absurd Impeachment" second my own

reader suspect that this is an attempt
on my part to lure him into the pur-
chase of my book let me hasten to
