Jesus the Man." an historical
study, by Victor E. Harlow, NJ. A.
Viewed from the angle of a man
who lived truly human life. Jesus
was, indeed. most extraordinary per-
son and an absorbing historical ac-
count of his life and teachings is this
new volume, the work of Mr.. Harlow.
1t is book that the everyday reader
will appreciate book essentially for
the layman, but one that can be used
for ready reference by ministers of
the Gospel.
The volume opens with the message
preached by John the BaptiZer: RE
pent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at
hand" Then the event which marked
the destiny of Jesus, when as he was
baptized by John, he saw the vision of
the heavens opening, and being, IN
the form of dove descending ana
resting upon him, and heard voice
from the open sky saying to him:
This is my beloved Son in whom
am well pleased"
The trials and tribulations of Jesus
and his disciples in preaching the
message which had been so near to
the heart of John, are fully described,
this description involving a most in
teresting account of the governmental
and political conditions in the Jewish
nation. where the Pharisees consid-
cred themselves the special custodians
of traditions and observances and
looked upon any man as an enemy
who did not conform to these ancient
regulations.
Yet with remarkable courage, Jesus
pressed on to the work before him.
keeping as far as possible out of reach
of the civil authorities in order that
he might continue his teaching and
preaching of the speedy coming of the
Kingdom. The power of his argument
was great and multitudes sought to be
near him. The writer gives US an
impressive picture of Jesus Messianic
entry into Jerusalem and the chagrin
of the Pharisees when Jesus drove the
money changers from the temple. The
supper at Bethany, the betrayal, the
arrest and inquisition, the condemna-
ton and crucifixion are subjects treat
ed In a most illuminative manner by
the author.
While in many ways the book pre-
sents new picture of the Master be-
cause of the fact that it deals with
him as man and leaves the divine
side to the theologians. the author in
the introduction announces that the
book is frankly an attempt to recon-
struct the life of Jesus upon the
model first of Mark, consolidating
with 1t the other material contained
in Matthew and Luke. 1t is based up
on the conviction that the gospel ac-
cording to John was written long aft
erwards, it's historical information
drawn almost exclusively from these
and in no point to be considered as au-
thoritative when 1t contradicts the
Marcan narrative"
The motive of the volume is ito re-
produce so far as it is possible, in
form ineligible to the reader of our
time. the real physical and mental
life of the man Jesus, who actually
walked and talked with men, as they
saw him and heard him and as we
would see him and hear him and I'M
derstand him could we be translated
into that far-off time and race"
This, Mr.. Harlow has accomplished
in a most effective manner.
The volume is published by the Har-
low Publishing Company of Oklahoma
City, Okla.

ARE WE DREAMING?

It would seem that many people
have come to think that the days of
scourges from contagious diseases
are past; that modern science. skill
and facilities preclude such a calam-
ity. This delusion has been es-
pecially noticeable in certain parts
of the country. California is re-
puted to have been very lax with re-
gard to vaccination.
California is waking from her
dream Of security and is looking
stark, grim reality in the face. 1t
finds the terrors of a smallpox
scourge not so remote as 1t sup
posed. A very malignant form of
that terrible disease is epidemic. In
81 recent cases % resulted in death,
an alarmingly high death rate.
This is not because the health au-
thorities, both Federal and State,
have failed to warn the people.
This they have done repeatedly but
they have not received public sup
port, possibly due to theories that
have acquired more or less popular
ity in opposition to preventive
measures, and undoubtedly in large
degree to public Indifference to
matters that do not thrust them
selves on attention.
What is happening in California
may as well happen in other parts
of the country, right here in Maine
for instance. We understand that
Iaxity regarding vaccination is quite
prevalent in this State. That kind
Of neglect may not be instantly
remedied. We can Ill afford to
ignore suitable precautions, not only
as regards our own welfare but the
welfare Of our neighbors and
friends.

As the little rabbit hoped along,
Hearing every kind of song,
From the birds in bush and tree,
Such a lovely melody!
There suddenly sounded g. loud

Thrasher from a row of bushes
alongside the roadway. On seeing
that 1t was only a little bunny, the
frightened bird again settled to earth,
and hoped back, jerking and -four
ishing his tail like Jenny Wren.
"Just arrived from Kentucky" he
explained, as the little rabbit said
hello and looked admiringly at his
handsome suit of cinnamon-brown,
the under parts white and heavily
spotted and streaked with dark
brown, except at the throat and
waist.
"My, what bright yellow eyes you
have!" exclaimed the bunny boy.
How do you like my wide and
long dropping tail?" asked Brown
Thrasher. by the way, saw the
Kind Farmer planting corn. Maybe
he was provoked when sang. Drop
1t, drop it, drop IT. I didn't really
say the words. only my song must
have sounded so to him, for he turn
ed and shouted: That's just what
I'm doing, birdie!"
"Ha, hal" laughed the little rabbit.
IT guess he was glad it was you and
not Professor Jim Grow? Crows pick
up the corn!"
"Well, Mrs. Thrasher and I must
soon decide on a place for our nest"
went on Brown Thrasher. formerly
we nested on the round, but. good

about, we now build in low bushes.
Our nest is nothing to brag about;

with fine grass. But 1t suits Mrs.

First Hard Coal Arrives
The first cargo of coal direct from
the Anthracite fields of Pennsylva-
mia has arrived in Penobscot bay
and Is being discharged at the dock
of E. w. Eaton, dealer, at Lewis
wharf. The coal was brought in the
barge Pennypack and the cargo is
1000 tons. 1t will retail for $3.50.
This will be good news to patrons
Of the company whose bins have
been getting low or who have been
forced to burn soft coal or substi-
tutes. With the continued cold
weather and snow several feet deep
in the woods and practically no signs
OF spring in the air, the coal situa-
ton has been keenly felt during the
past few weeks, even by those who
felt no alarm during the winter
months.

CONFORMING TO CONDITIONS

AS might be expected there has
been some criticism Of the adj
ministration for its attitude re-
specting the reservations under
which this country would join the
World Court. 1t has declined the
invitation to send representatives to
the meeting of the League of Ma
tions at Geneva to interpret the
meaning of those reservations.
The New York World remarks
that the crucial objection comes to
the phrase, claims an interest"
occurring in the fifth reservation
and it argues that 1t is but natural
for the other nations to attach I'M
portance to this point.
Now these reservations were not
drafted by the President or by the
State Department, but in the Senate.
Neither does 1t appear that the
Secretary of State is empowered to
deal with the League in this matter,
but with the individual governments
If there is to be acceptance 1t must
come by way of exchange of notes
between this country and each OF
the 4s states signatory to the
| Statute of the Permanent Court be-
fore the United States becomes q
party.
This country Is bound by the
| reservations made by the Senate
| and If these are changed it must be
| by the Senate. Moreover it would
be hardly fitting for the President
to discuss these through a rep
resentative with representatives Of
other governments. 1t really seems
sensible for the administration moi
to assume to become a party to sucf
an arrangement, and this not be.
cause of any wish to be arbitrary OF
unwilling to do what it may toward
