Conquest of the Seas

By Frank c. Bo1Den. Ne1U
York: William A. Mcbride &
Co.
Britain has been a sea-going ma
ton from its very birth. The sea
figured in the discovery of Britain
by the celebrated Greek navigator
and geographer, Pytheas, who was
a contemporary of Alexander the
Great; and today the sea is one
battle-ground for Britain's fight for
life.
The story of the conquest of the
seas is, therefore, in broad outline
the story of Britain on the seas.
That is what Mr.. Bowen has pre-
sented in this companion volume to
his America Sails the Seas" He
has traced the narrative of Eng
lands rise on the waves from the
earliest times, through the explora-
lions, the rise of trade, the OPEN
ing of new territories, the maritime
wars and the substitution of steel
and steam for wood and sail.
This is a volume for the con-
noisseur, for 1t is handsomely illus
trated with some 100 prints from
the famed Macpherson collection.

Let Us Have Faith
BIZ Helen Keller. Neto York

BIZ Helen heLLer. NeU IOTh.
Doubleday, Doran & Co.
A work by Miss Keller is always a
moving thing, and in this little
volume there are to be found some
of the most beautiful and touching
of her writings yet to appear. The
work is her attempt to define what
faith has meant in her life, and to
exhort the peoples of the world. in
the present period Of fear and
danger, to take hold of the weapon
which she herself has found to be
of such service. One can best convey
her eloquence by quoting.
1--WE hear on all Sides" she says,
"a summons to return to religion.
There is an encouraging ring OF sin
cerity in the cry, but is it not a bit
confusing to say return to religion
when religion means return to
faith Religion is the fruit of faith,
and to ask for religion without faith
is like asking for the flower without
seed. Many religions have spread
inspiring hope upon earth, but one
faith has been their tree. just as good
will is the one root of all truly bene-
ficent activities. 1t has crossed my
mind that religion may perhaps be
mans despair in not finding God.
while faith is hope-God's searching
for man."
And again, &c in times OF
danger, large groups rise to the high
est pitch of enthusiasm, courage and
sacrifice-'great occasions inspire
great thoughts On lower levels OF
excitement, such as swimming con-
test or a baseball match, the players
set the spectators on fire with their
prowess, elasticity and grace. So
ciety would fairly blaze and sing
with men and women majestic Of
presence and valiant doors of Gods
word if only they kept the lessons
they learn from crisis! Why, oh.
why do they let escape the treasure,
enlarged personality, which has
raised them to glory?"
But perhaps this is the most touch
ing passage of the book: Through
faith alone I can attain the two
senses I lack-sight and hearing
and build out from my imperfect
speech. Faith has the ingenuity to
bring me insight, and I know where
I am going. Could win out on a
half soul, seeing nothing but de-
ficiences-my awkward walk, my in
ability to do even the simplest thing
unaided? No risk would be worth
while for me. I should slide back
into the void, and the universe would
crush me. In my doubly Swallowed
world, faith gives me reason for try
ing to draw harmony out of marred
instrument. Faith is not a cushion
for me to fall back on; it is my work.
ing energy"
There is nothing to add to so noble
and courageous a statement.

On the Long Tide
Boston.
By Laura Krey.


This latest work by the author Of
"And Tell of Time" seems to be
another example of that common
fault among so many writers-biting
off much too big mouthful.
In her earlier book Miss Krey told
of Texas in the reconstruction
period; in this one she goes back
to the birth of the State, Briefly,
the story revolves around dashing
young Virginia planter, Jeffrey Fen
tress by name, cousin of Thomas
Jefferson, who goes to Texas in
search of adventure.
There he marries, is robbed by
death of his wife, but not before
she has presented him with a child,
and spends the remaining half Of
the story fighting against the In
dams, then the Mexicans, and for
freedom of Texas.
Throughout the book parade an
almost countless host of figures who
were prominent in that early por-
ton of the 10th century, from Santa
Anna to Stephen F. Austin. And
that's one of the biggest troubles
with the novel Miss Krey succeeds
in creating a certain atmosphere of
the rugged prostate and presenting
the reader with the many elements,
human and otherwise, which went
into the making of the present-day
Lone Star State. But she writes
of a confused period when there
was no assurance from day to day
whether Mexico had president,
dictator or emperor, or whether he
was the same man who was at the
helm the preceding day. She, Of
course, knows what she is talking
about, but she tries to say so much
that, in the end, the reader has a
badly jumbled picture and is likely
to wonder even if the history itself
was so very interesting.
