Tall, oad-shouldered, straight as

Franklyn Farnum, who isn't any re-

physical fitness a very charming and
gracious manner, because, don't you
see, before he went on the silver

which fitted him so well for the roles
he now plays.

PIRATE ADVENTURE

Plenty of Thrills in

Island of Seven Moons by
Gordon Anderson. IPutnnm.I

"THE Island of Seven Moons" by
Gordon Anderson. IPutnnm.I
With admirable enthusiasm, Mr.
Anderson has sought to allay the
public thirst for stories OF ad-
venture and pirate gold. Also. he
has added few nice and original
touches to the old but ever intrigu-
ing theme. His desperate crew are
not just old-fashioned pirates with
rings in their ears, rum in their
tummies and blood in their hearts:
the Anderson buccaneers are of the
Broadway variety and are headed
by frst-class crook and a fancy
skirt"
Still. human lives mean no Are
to this gang of freebooters than
they did to Capt. Kidd. when a
chestful of doubloons and gems is
concerned. 4 tcnuous love inter-
est. slightly revealed in spots. runs
through the story. Toward the end
il almost snaps and we nave the
divertinG spectacle of Miss Sally
Fell marrying honest Ben Brent

of the kiss given her by the roman
tic ard disappointed Monsieur La
rome. Still. there's no harm In that,
is there. and the sturdy Ben Is a
bit grating at times. especially
when he calls his brand-new fiancee
old girl"
The book as whole. is very
readable and amusing. IL any criti-
cism can be made, il is that Mr.
Anderson has been too generous
with the riches of his imagination
Toward the end OF the book. one is
simply cloyed with murders and
mysterious plural moons ard pizeu
snakes and. skeletons and abduc-
ti0ns and hungry sharks who eat

into the spirit of the universe.
Isaiah enjoyed a religion that re-
quired no wandering through a
labyrinth of lives in order to reach
haven of rest. 1t only required
moment of repentance and an
other moment for forgiveness, and
then the light of a new life burst
upon him. with the glory of Gods
service within his reach. The past
was blotted out: the future was
bright with hope
Isaiah answered: Here am I;
send me-" Here we have a child
like faith and just such a volun-
teering for a task as every parent
understands. The methods of the
mind may be laborious, but the
methods of the heart are simple.
The mind calculates with care: the
heart trusts and obeys."
The lesson for today is a very
practical one. A religious life be-
gins in the humility that comes
with consciousness of sin-"God be
merciful to me, a sinner" Forgive
ness follows, and with il the dawn
of a new day-"Though your sins
be as scarlet, they shall be as white
as snow: though they be red like
crimson. they shall be as wool"
Then the heart. open to divine
suggestion, hears the call to service
and answers, Here am ]: send me"
