a very bad lot, and Gerard tumbles into
the middle of a complex of intrigue and

does not resent it, for the unfinished char

measurably, a propaganda story, All the
naughty folk are Protestants; but not all
Protestants are necessarily naughty There
is not bit of venom in it all, and it is
really propaganda for abstract goodness

than narrowly for the Church. 1t is whole

welcome; he is altogether lovable and hui

and saint he is not unbelievable The main
plot is that of the rivalry of two friends

cheaply conventional. Miss Taggart has

OVERLOOKED. By Maurice Barring. Hough-
ton Mifflin Company.
HHE reader of this has the unusual op-
portunity of hearing the same story
told twice; first in the form of a
partial record of observed facts, and then
in the shape of a novelette, evolved from
those facts by a novelist who is also a
character in the whole story. And finally
there is third section. giving the hitherto
missing key fact, and rounding out the
complete narrative 1t is an extremely
clever performance, greatly interesting to
the analytical reader. And it has delicate
vein of satire running through it, aimed
chiefly at the psychological novelist Rudd
of the story, who figures as a rather pre-
tentious ass. He is sometimes accurate
in his observation, but usually quite wrong
in his Interpretation of the various char
acters. Indeed, Mr.. Baring's chief purpose
seems to have been to have fun with the
"know-r-all" type of writer. 1t makes an
entertaining book, but it remains chiefly a.
stunt"
The plot or, rather, the situation is of
the simplest. There is discussion among a
group of sojourners at French health
resort as to why the very attractive Miss
Brandon has never married 1t appears
that many years before she had been en-
gagged to young man. who, however, was
too poor to marry. Also her irascible old
father needed her. so the engagement was
broken. The question becomes: does she
still love him, or has she ever loved him:
and. if he were to come back, would she
marry him? Then there appears a mys-
ferrous Russian, and he and Miss Brandon
apparently fall in love. There is even an
engagement, which, however is suddenly
broken and the Russian departs. Mean
while the novelist, Rudd, is studying this
situation. thinking to make a novel of it.
A parallel record is being kept by a blind
man, who acts as a sort of chorus to ex-
plain things. Rudd does make novel of
his observations and the game is to show
how wrong he is in his guesses. 1t is well
played: deft handling of a difficult theme.

however. There are other quotations from
the book first, and more comment upon
these. Moreover, there is something said
about Sherwood Anderson in the last few
pages of this article that is worth every
word of O'Brien's about art in the short

to cut out and paste in some spot where
he could look upon it frequently.
There are mighty few of the pet vices
of our age that don't get a rap over the

POINTS OUT THAT DEATH
IS THE CHRISTIANS CAIN
Rev. 0. A. Sauer Emphasizes
the Words of St. Paul and
His Faith in Christ.

Rev Q. a. Sauer. pastor OF Beth
iehem Evangelical Lutheran Church,
preached yesterday on the text For
me to 1.-Two Is Christ: to die Is gain"
Phil. II. FL. He said ST. Paul spoke
OF death as gain. He could say that
because he was able to preface his
assertion with the words: For me to
live is Christ" The reason for re-
garding his death rs gain. Paul finds
in Christ. He had not always viewed
the matter thus. There was timo
when he was bitter enemy of
Christ, and OF everybody who bore
the Christian name. He even went
SO far as to persecute tho Christians.
He was on this kind OF mission when
the resurrccted Christ took hold of
him. and taught him the folly and
sinfulness OF his course.
The outcome OF that meeting was
that this greatest enemy OF Christ
was changed Into a firm believer In
Christ. BY Gods grace he had
