RELIGION IN BOOKS
By sOf I. TAwEs


A NEW ANTHOLOGY OF MOD
ERN POETRY. by Selden Rodman,
editor. Random House, New York.
$1.25.--A valuable addition to the
Modern Library series. It will be
much appreciated by students and
lovers of poetry. The introduce
tion of several pages is profitable
reading. and the appendix con-
tains information and critical COM
ment in its biographical notes. The
anthology is not "in a rut." II has
an exceptional variety of themes
and choice of names. That the poet
does something more than sing is
very evident in this work. The
lnoet has something 10 say and it
is worth saying. The testimony of
religion, the social protest, the
thrill of living, the light of hope,
the adventure of faith, the love of
country are here for the reader.
Many readers will be glad for the
group of Negro songs. Lindsay's
abraham Lincoln Walks at Mid
night" Sandburg's TThe People
viii Live On" and Ogden Nash'S
quaint humor. 1t would be diff
cult to find a more satisfying col
lection of modern poetry.
CHRYSANTHEMUMS, VIII 1 T E.
by Nora T. Burke. Meador Pub
fishing Company, Boston. s 3d.
One of the best poems in the book
furnishes the attractive title. The
poets heart beats warm love for 4
nature. She sings In the joy of
living and seeing. She worships in
the Cathedral of the Universe. She
is alive to the wonder Of God in
creation. The book invites to
friendly walks through gardens
and woodlands, to memories of old
days and old loves, to meditations
on life and its changing seasons, to
fellowship and prayer. Throughout
the book there are little essays that
seem a musicol accompaniment to
the songs.
+ SAW GOD WASH THE
by William L. Stidger.
Rodeheaver Hall Mack, Winona
Lake. $1.-A beautiful edition of
a noted preachers verse. Said the
late Edwin Markham: "Bill Std
gers swinging and ringing lines
have a message of cheer and cour-
age--something to help us to carry
on when life grows dark" These
poems do preach, and quoting
them will put windows OF inspira-
lion i'm sermons and addresses. The
reading of them will find an au-
iience with the spirit For the I
poems are full of the Gospel. !
Among the several poems is this
one: "The Waste of War" And
mother challenging one is Clear :
he Way for the Eternal" The
book is grand recognition of God,
ind the dignity Of man. !

PHOENIX, April 25 (UP)- Col.
Charles H. Rutherford, civilian aide
to Secretary Of War Henry l..
Stimson, today lauded American
women for their increasing desire
t. take part in the national de-
fense program lin order that they
may continue to live and enjoy the
privileges of democracy"
In an address on the part women
can play in the defense program,
Col. Rutherford declared there was
no question of the advisability OF
training women in every phase OF
home defense work, such as fire
wardens, operators of field kitchens,
workers in bomb shelters, in anti
cipation of the day when America
may be attacked by modern
methods"
THE fable of feminiane fraility
has passed on," he said. Native
ability and clear thinking have
made women as successful as men
in the operations of their own
business and, as helpers in the op-
Grafton of every form OF business
and industry.
