Weekly Book Revie.v
 Held Last Euenine

Vera Brittain's utobiographical indictment against war, "The Test ament of Youth" was reviewed last night by Rev Moses R. Lowell, pastor of the Second Congrega- tional church in the church par ish house. The review was well attended.
 MT Lowell stated his purpose in selecting this book was to bring again to the foreground the true picture of the recent war; pie ture which has heen allowed to slip out of many minds.
 The story depicts the effects of the war upon woman who was born. in the late 90's and who was drawn into the heart of the war. The experience left her disillu- stoned and broken. It also left her with the strong conviction that peace pacts and leagues of nations can never succeed in eliminating war until glamour has been stripped from warfare. Miss Brit tain presented proof of the diffi- culty of accomplishing this.
