III. Doing the win of God in a
Self-willed World e. Pet. 4:1-5.
Essentially there are two opposing
principles operative in the lives of
men-we either are controlled by
Gods will, or by self-Will. The flesh
is really mans personality con-
trolled by his own self-will. 1t re-
suits in the kind of life described in
verses 2 and 3. When a man be-
comes a Christian he should move
over into the will Of God.
Such a man may be regarded as
strange, but as a matter of fact,
men will recognize his goodness
(see l. Pet. 2:1N. DR.. Will H.
HOughtOn tells OF "a soldier who
ultimately was made Christian be-
lever through seeing his compan-
ions make fun of another soldier,
who was a believer in Christ. The
thing that impressed him was the
fact that though they made fun of
this man, they left their money in
his possession for safekeeping!" Do
we have that kind of testimony?

There is no doubt in the mind of
anyone who sees collection of her

that, first and last, horses and dogs
are her most beloved subjects. In them
she senses the love of freedom and
motion, the desire to hunt in fresh
fields that is the essence of every
animal. And having that rare intui-
ton, she understands too the kinship
man has with horses and dogs.

that mans efforts to live in har-
mony with his unconscious have
been constant and are of great an
tiquity. In the East. he says, the
method has taken the form of sink
ing into the unconscious and realiz-
ing its content, but this, he feels, is
dangerous business for the Western
mind and unnatural to it, The al.
chemists of Greece and Rome and
the Middle Ages were really in
search, he claims, of the harmonic
ing principle between the two phases
of the mind and, to prove this con-
tention. he devotes a long chapter
to study Of alchemistic symbols, in
which he finds proof of his theory
The supposed search for gold in
which these early seekers engaged
he says, deceived none but the crud-
est fakirs. His work here is original
and, if you have mind for this
kind of psychic fishing, profoundly
interesting.
His conclusion is that Western
man must learn the content of the
unconscious if he is to protect his
personality from the strains of con-
scious living. This he cannot do,
in the manner of the Oriental, by
retrogressing; he must do it by de-

The Book of Fishes


If THE Compleat Angler be the
fsherman's "bible," then THE Book
of Fishes" issued by the National
Geographic Society has, since 1924,
been worthy of the title of his handy
encyclopedia. The word fisher
man" is here used to described any
one interested in fish, their ways of
life and means of capture, including
first and foremost the angler.
Now the society presents a new edi-
ton. revised, greatly enlarged and
with much of the illustration in full
color AS was the previous one, this
new volume is edited by DR.. John
Oliver La Gorce, vice president of
the society and himself a worthy
angler and keen student of aquatic
life. Moreover, he himself has writ
ten 2 of the II articles included in
the edition. Biographies of species
have more than doubled in number;
Che total of color plates has in
creased fourfold, while black-and-
white illustrations, all of them pho
tographic, show a corresponding in
crease and have been brought well
up to date.
Possibly no household library, and
surely no anglers library, can be
called complete without this book
1t belongs as well in a log fishing
camp or on an angling cruiser as in
city home and, as a matter of fact
one volume for each place is a good
idea. r. M. K.

World Without End
By Stoyan PribicheDich. Ne1D
York: Reundl & Hitchcock.

This is a kind of popular text
book on Southeastern Europe, that
part of the map of which Ameri-
cans seem obstinately to prefer to
be ignorant, and which is never
theless always thrusting its unWel-
come existence on our attention.
How much pleasanter it is to feel
simply that the spelling is too much
and that nobody can expect us to
learn the complications of con-
tinental section where pronuncia-
ton in itself is a life work-how
much pleasanter than to remember
Sarajevo, to reflect on Prague and
to wonder about the future of Istan-
bull! There was time when light
opera and Graustarkian fiction took
care of our entire consciousness of
the trouble-spouting Balkans and
their neighbors. 1t is, alas, long,
long gone, but the interim has not
done much to improve our general
education in Southeastern European
matters. 1t appears now that we
are going to have to learn our let
ters at last and books for the pur-
pose begin appropriately to come
from the presses. Emil Lengyels
THE Danube" was such one, and
now we have Mr.. Pribichevich offer
ing us as nearly painless an atlas
and encyclopedia as perhaps can be
devised on this particular subject.
Mr.. Pribichevich, as his name in
dicates, is native of that troubled
territory: he is Yugoslavian. He
has lived long enough among us,
however, to have grasped our con-
genital obstinance toward acquiring
proper knowledge of Europe's un-
meltable melting pot, and he goes
about his instruction gently and
strategically. He follows the chron-
illogical pattern of history telling
He cajoles us through the records
of men and peoples whose names we
cannot pronounce with epic tales,

The Integrotion
Of the Personality

By Carl G. Jung. Translated
from the German by Stanley
M. Dell. New York.: Farrar &
Rinehdrt.
In this book DR.. Jung attempts
to build, for our instruction, the edi-
flee of the human personality and
to do so he goes into very deep
waters, indeed. His theory is that
the conscious part Of the mind is
slight, frail and recently accom-
plished development topping an
enormous sunken base which is the
unconscious. In the unconscious,
he says, lies the whole of the mind
of the past, the mind which was
there when mental processes we're
limited to perception, and thought
even primitive thought-had not yet
appeared. In this tremendous dark
reservoir, he tells us, are forces
which can suddenly and without ap-
parent cause intrude into the small,
brightly lighted sphere of the con-
scious. He goes considerably be-
yend Freud in this contention.
His book takes up the thought

and easily he works along toward
modern times, sprinkling his mar
rative with a maximum of the pic
turesque. He does a pretty good
job. too,, although the reviewer pri-
vately fears that the undertaking
is hopeless one. There are coun-
tries in that distracted district, to
be sure. where the name George
fourishes. But in the main it is
a seven-syllable land, and our native
prediction for vowels seems likely
to be a grave handicap toward our
intelligent international sympathy.
But, for those who have the grit,
the character and the political con-
science. here is good primary text
to begin on. NC. R.
