city not only Of magnificent dis
tanceS but also of 'unSurpaSSable
backSlidingS." He outlines deity the
paradoyical position Of the Nations
Capital as the inspiration for the Ma
tion's thinking and as the hypothesis
Of the entire country. He regrets that
the transitory life Of many who come
to Washington extends to their re-
ligions. He realizes the full import of
constitutional separation of church
and state but decrieS the lack Of ap-
plication Of Christian principles in the
men who run the country. This lack,
he feels, extends into industry as well
as government and is by way of set
ting up a hostility between capitalism
and Christianity. There is no essen
tial conflict between the two, he holds,
if Christian rules of conduct are ap-
piled to industrial relations. He does
not hesitate to say that if they are
not, capitalism must answer for its
greedInesS.
Evangelical Christianity tempered
to the ever-changing needs Of the
world is Dr. Weaver's answer to the
deep-seated personal problems of men
Of character and principle. 1t is
broad, liberal philosophy and one
wholly unhedged by the narrowness Of
SectarlaniSm.
This is book for ministers who
are unwilling to see the world ebb
away from their pulpits, but primarily
it is a book for laymen who would
know what the church has to offer as
a guiding principle in the conflict Of
so-called new" economic and social
PHILOSOPHERS.

THE MAKER OF HEAVENLY
TROUSERS. BY Daniele Ware:
Garden City: Doubleday, Doran
& Co.
THIS charming novel deals with the
lives Of certain Caucasians who,
in modern times are constrained to
live in China. Specifically, they are
an English writer of mature years
and a young Italian girl who. as a
child, becomes the writer's protege
and who. on growing up, provides the
