FRENCH writer's of some distinction, like

writing occasional mystery stories, either for

the mills, catching rides ON the log-booms,
swimming in the river, hunting chipmunks

which were "the same as miles Of tombstones,"
all these enthralling occupations kept the VII

MARY OF NAZARETH BY Mary Borden.
Garden City: Doubleday, Doran & Co.
\IERY little is actually known about the life
and personality of the Mother of Jesus
Building that little, Mary Borden has writ
ten reverent, imaginative, beautifully ex-
pressed story of the life of Mary. She repre-
sents her simple, uncultured village woman
OF the hill-town of Nazareth, a Jewess brought
up in awe of the rigid Mosaic law and in strict
adherence to it. She is the wife of Joseph, the
carpenter, and the mother Of five sons and
several daughters. When the story opens, Mary
has lived for nearly 80 years in Nazareth, Jo-
seph has long been dead, and her eldest son,
Jesus has come down from Galilee to Jordan
to be baptized by the wilderness prophet, John
the Baptizer." There is a brief retrospect Gf
the earlier years of the family In the low,
whitewashed house in the long, marrow street.
where Jesus worked in the carpenter shop and
Mary spread her fax and her figs, raisins,
and apricots to dry on the roof. Then the
narrative progresses steadily and inexorady
through the continued absence of Jesus from
home and Mary,s tortured anxiety, through
the growing antagonism of all his family to-
ward the radical teachings of the eldest,
through the casting out Of Jesus from the
synagogue, through Marys following Him to
Jerusalem, q bewildered, pathetic mother, and
then the rest Of the tragic way to Calvary.
Mary Is shown as entirely uncomprehending
as regards the purpose and teachings Of her
son, doubtful and fearful Of the charges Of
sorcery brought against him, yet defending him
bravely against her other children, loyal to
him because he IS her son, while wishing that
he would remain at home at his carpentering
and marry, as q good Jew should. Among the
most vivid and poignant scenes in the story
are the meeting of Mary, the mother Of Jesus,
and Mary Of Magdala in the latter's hut near
the lepers' colony, where she is nursing the
lepers, and their travelling together to Jerusalem
at the Feast of the Passover, to find Jesus. The
evasion of his responsibility by PLATE, 80 often

IN II Cover the Water Front" and @He Went
ments Of his life as q reporter and Of his
voluntary and precipitate leave of absence from
his job. Now he writes the autobiography Of
his childhood, which was passed in o sawmM
town on the Pacific Coast. It is not con-
tinuous narrative, but seems to be composed Of
elusive episodes and scenes drawn up from the
depths Of shadowy memory. The first memory
is Of "Slats," boy too young to go to work
IN the MILL but older than the '.fellers" who
played about the freight cars and log-booms
along the river. He had pleasant habit, not
altogether in-natured, Of squeezing the backs
~of the smaller boys necks, on the slightest
excuse, or one which he invented, and "Slats"
had very strong fingers. When the tormentor
acquired job In the mill, and with it q box
coat and gloves and pocket full Of change
the boys were all envious; and when he was
permanently disabled by an accident they
were genuinely sorry. The interests and
amusements Of the little mortal" in his be-
ginnings were such as to provide background
and training for his later covering Of the
water front and similar reportorial jobs. The
river Of his boyhood carried the melted SHOWS
Of the Cascade Mountains down into Puget
Sound. The sawmills were all around the
mouth Of the river, and their burners at night
lit up the sky as though houses were afire."

ALFRED E. SMITH said
IA some good things before
the Senate committee in
Washington, but nothing that
was said was better put than
his views on the recognition
Of Russia. This is long over
due. 1t has now been more
than IA years since the pres
ent government was estab-
lished. There was ample
justification for our failure
to accord recognition at once.
It could be justified for even
two years. There is no justi-
fication in precedent, with
which we are familiar, for a
refusal to recognize a reality
for Il years.
Some people appear to
think that to accord recogni-
tion is to subscribe in some
manner to the theories Of
Soviet Russia. That is alb
surd. Tt is manifestIv ah-
surd, for these people would
be, hard put to explain on
their theory why we had dip
lomatic relations with Ro-
manoff Russia. Did we SUBJ
scribe to that autocracy2
There is a dictatorship in
Hungary, and we have diplo-
matte relations with her.
Does that mean we favor a
dictatorial form of govern
ment? We have diplomatic
relations with Italy and have
no thought Of breaking off
relations with Germany be-
cause Of the triumph of Hit
Ter. Does that mean that we
subscribe to Fascism?
Of course it means nothing
Of the sort. It is none of our
business what form of gov
ernment another nation may
prefer or have. If we are in
business we do not refuse to
send our statesmen to a pros
pective buyer because we do
not like his views on morals
or politics.

Numbed by the slow
Sweet poisoning
Of tears?
So easy-yeS-
To hide;
But, God.
So shameful, too!
For what of those
Who have no house
Upon a hill;
No tangled garden
Where a child may dream,
But, by the millions,
Live and die like rats
Within the noisome reek
Of city streets?
What of the other
Little, bleeding feet
That are as dear
To some poor mother
AS my baby's were
To me?
Those little hands
That reach in vain
For bread,
While I brood, b1indly.
BY my cherished dead?
They are my duty, God
Those who today
Are asking help,
Or going mad with pain.
Or fumbling
Through the dreary
Fog of fear.
Here is my place,
Within this present time,
Facing the problems
OF this battle line!
Then help me, Father,
Live within today:
And let no lost delight,
No treasured grief,
Tempt me to turn
And, like a coward, hide
Within the selfish shade
OF yesterday!
