(Small, Maynard Bos-j ton.) There is both mystery and romance in this very original and diverting novel, which has for its basis the system of dream analysis made prom- inent by Freud, with the addition of a bit of pre-natal influence and a few theories that seem to have been evolved by the author. There is a plot and quite a bit of the suspense so much desired by the reader of eur-rent fiction, bat the outstanding- feature of this novel is its idea and execution.

The hero is a young physician, who, all of his life, has been troubled by a dream, reoccurring almost nightly, in which he falls from a balloon. Whether or not he is scientifically accurately in ascribing the dream to the death of a trapeze performer sW ii by his mother is left to the readcryto decide.

It is inspired in its language and logic, concentrated and definite in its aim, pure in its purpose, and mighty in its appeal and power. Our prayers are often into too many petitions and wander around aimless vagueness. We do not pray we Aug-ht we do not Know wltat we want and EtiU less what wc need. And there was nothing- small and sehish and short-lived in this prayer, but it was east upon laiiie lines and looked straight from human seliishnes and vanity to divine glory manifesting- itself in human blessing. Our prayers too often seize upon petty persona! points and thov should lay hold of largo things and aim.

This supernatural answer to prayer becomes natural and easy of belief when it is set in the frame of it; national environment and spiritual purpose.

A great crisis in the history of the chosen people called for and justified extraordinary manifestation of the divine presence and power in order to save the nation and the world from the degradation sensual idolatry. Christianity has its mighty works that attest its divine origin, and its Lord is declared to be the Son of God with power by His resurrection from the dead. It has its fire from heaven and cleanses everything it touches nuiti-iiess. it it nas not yet burned deep enough into our civilization and even into our Christian hearts to work out it full measure purity, this is because it takes long time for so great a transformation to accomplished. It will at last burn this sin-saturated world to ashes and create a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Tragic End to Test. At Elijah's command the 4:.0 false prophets were hurried down to the Kishon and soon its waters were crimsoned witji their blood. Not one escaped. Is this the way to deal with false prophets? That depends. Govern ments did in some cases do thi very thing with certain men who were playing false to their country and giving aid to the enemy in time of war.

Rough occasions demand rough usages. When the country is at stake we do not hesitate to use any right means that are necessary to guard it. These false prophets were no ordinary heretics' but unclean devils that had to be exterminated almost as though they were so many vermin. Nevertheless we live in a more advanced stage of moral and spiritual culture and use other means. Death for heresy has had its day and our victories are not carnal but spiritual.

But we still have false prophets and we must" still defend and fight for the faith. In this w'arfare we should keep on the whole armor of God and quit ourselves like men. Museums Holding Exhibits To Explain Uses of Radium As part of an educational campaign being conducted by 13 leading institutions of the state, the Erie Public Museum, Allegheny College and the Carnegie Museum here are exhibiting carnotite ore containing radium, instruments for the use of radium and pictures explaining its derivation. The exhibit is part of an effort to explain to the public the value and use of radium therapeutic and illti minative uses. The radium used in these exhibits was secured from mines in America.

The ore comes from the Undark Mines of Colorado and Utah and is the gift of the United States Radium Corporation. Pearls I i The Hidden Places, by Bertrand W. Sinclair. (Little, Brown Boston.) There is a complex social problem in this "after-the-war" story and, although probably many readers will not agree with its ethics, few will deny the skill with which the tale is told. It is absorbing and plausabie.

Bob Hn'ilister comes back from the war with his face so distorted by a shell that even men shudder to look at him. He leany? that, when he, was officially reported killed in action, his young wife had married again and disappeared with his modest estate. He wanders to British Columbia, where lie still owns a tract of timber, to make a new start. There he meets a girl who. because of an accident that made her blind, does not shrink from him.

Although Hol-listrr knows that his wife and her supposed husband are living in the immediate vicinity of his timber lisheii some time ago as magazine serials, their appearance as an printed and bound volume will be welcome news to many read ers of fiotion. Winnie is so chnrniinrr. not to say loveable. and the storv is to skillfully told, that one loses sight of its extreme improbability. She is the orphaned daughter of an Irishman who kept himself and her poor following the races.

But although he left, her little money, her father had endowed her with soriie very excellent advice. She was told that the world was full of men who were virtually wolves in their desire to "gobble her up" and warned to beware of them. This she does to such good effect that, instead of becoming their victim. Wrhnie takes very good care of herself and fattens her bankroll in pleasing fashion. Sea, and knrdinia.

As we stand with Mr. Lawrence on the desolate quay at Palermo injhe "pale, bluish, theatrical light" of the dawn-dusk we feel that we are about to realize a great adventure and we again recall lxrd Byron's expression: "Italia.

Mead New York.) A great ranch not far from the Mexican border is the scene of the stirring incidents that make up the romance of Va llannon. daughter of the owner of the estate, known as Paradise, and idol of the ranchers, cowboys and other denizens of the country roundabout. Yalantrie "of the Border" is. in his way. as striking a character and when the two young people meet it is the sig-na" for the beginning of exciting happenings.

There is a mysterious "rustler" whose daring leads to plans for swift vengeance and a picturesque old priest in charge of a half-ruined mission. Almosf without exception the characters are likable in the extreme and the action moves in absorbing fashion from start to finish. Thf Skipper of the Cynthia B. by Charles IVndexter (Milton Bradley Company. Springfield, Mass.) There are plenty good, healthy thrills: in this unusually interesting story for boys.

It is the tale of a summer spent in Cape Cod by a city boy," Sam Hotchkiss. Forced to give up all thought of a gay resort by his father's illness, Sam looks for a dull time, but he soon becomes acquainted with Uncle Seth, a retired sea captain and owner of a smart cat boat, and after that there was no time to be dull. The story is interwoven with many stirring tales -of the days of the old whalers, all founded on fact, and it goes with a rush from start to finish. Xiels Lyhne, by J. Peter Jacobscn (Doubleday, l'age Garden City, N.

This novel is an incredibly well written record of the struggle of a young Norwegian poet to turn from dreams to action. laving an interesting life, he never had the time to turn his dreams or experiences into successful poetry. There is simplicity and beauty in every line of the hook, which is said to had considerable influence in the molding and subtilizing of the Danish language. Not many such books are written in the hurried world of today and this translation comes, like the rare wine of the past, as a stimulant to Ix tter things. Other Boohs Received.

There are times in the conflict between Md and evil, righteousness and wickedness, diri'ifracy and despotism when we must make a stand and stake life itself on the result.

Failure of False Prophet; Mount Carmel stood like a giant altar, commanding a wide prospect of mountain and plain and sea, and on top the- great trial place. The prophets of secure in their false obsession, built a pile of wood, put their bullock on it-and began to call upon their god to consume it with fire.

The false prophets fell back and Elijah stepped forth. His time was come. The sun was westering, and its level rays glowed on Carmel's crown.

Elijah repaired the fallen altar, placed his offering upon it. poured water over it until altar and stones were drenched. Repairing the ruined altar of the Lord is a good way to begin a reform. The nation that has forgotten God must take its first right step ly returning to his altar. A weakened, distracted church may find the cause of its trouble in neglected prayer and sacrifice.

Repair your altar and make it strong and beautiful in the worship of the Lord and it will be a center of blessing in the home and life. Elijah took every precaution to show tbat there was no deception, the trial. Christianity did not originate in a hidden corner, but out in the open under the sky: and it has no cunningly devised fables and clever tricks with which to deceive the world, but it blazons its reality by many infallible proofs in pitiless publicity.

This, of course, does not detract from the interest of Mr. Maxwell's storv. A Marine. by Edward Champe Carter. (Cornlull Publishing Company, Boston.) This is one of the books for boys by Mr.

The picturesque and highly colored life of tne theatrical district of London is the scene of this very readable) story in which humor, romance and pathos have part. Most of the action centers in Mrs. Cartwright, who.

years before the start of the story, had separated from her husband, an aetor-manager. She writes a play, the title of which gives the book its name, and, through a mistake, it is sold to her husband. Her efforts to prevent him from finding out that she is the author result in innumerable and entertaining complications. One feature of the story is the number of clean-cut characters, each distinct and vivid and each playing an essential part in the working out of the plot. Most of them are enjoyable young men and women and it is this delineation of the human elements that gives the tale its chief charm.

To the Last Man. by Zane Grey. (Harper New York.) One stirring situation after another make this story of the deadly feud of the Tonto Basin unusually exciting and absorbing. The feud is between ranchers and an organized band of "rustlers," but it finally becomes a battle to the death between the Isbel family and the band led by Lee Jorth. The tale is full -f gun fighting until, literally, the "last man," Jean Isbel, is the only one left alive of all the warring clans.

Through all the bloody chapters, however, runs the thread of tha romance of a clean man and a pure woman, both battling against odds for themselves and each other, and brighter days are in store for them as the story ends.

Thomas Seltzer has in his career as a publisher brought out many fine and interesting books, but "The Glorious Hope" could not by any possible stretch of the imagination be numbered among them. It seems incred- cumbersome style of Jane Burr.

She has, however, accomplished the seemingly impossible feat of taking an idea, hich basically might be good, and turning it into a novel so badly written and with a vain attempt to "smartness" that if the publisher's announcement diil not lead one to think the book a serious attempt the sus picion that it was meant to be a bur- -I BuhL HOME INFLUENCE LACK IS BLAMED BY PASTOR FOR GROWTH OF CRIME Pastor Tells Theater Audience County and World Parents Are at Fault.

"America's battle is in the home." declared Mr. 'Shuey. "The way to change the home is to change the hearts of the parents who control the home. Until we are honest with ourselves we cannot be honest with our children. We tell our children to do right and then we do as we please.

Boggs Church Not Social Club, Preacher Warns Hearers "There are folk who join a church just as they would join a social club and who regard its solemn obligations just as lightly," said the Rev.

M. M. McDivitt, preaching yesterday morning in the Knoxvillo Presbyterian Church on "God's Trumpets." He continued "Such folk increase the difficulty of the church in delivering clearly and forcefully its simple message of righteousness. The church speaks with sureness or with hisitancy exactly in accordance with the firm conviction or the groping indecision of the individuals who compose it. A church cannot speak with conviction if its members fa1 to comprehend its sublime task and if they join it merely because it's the 'proper thing to do." A church or a pulpit that sounds an uncertain note has no business to sound any note at Hi I.

Wobbling, wavering Christianity has no place in God's program. But I will permit no man to say the church has failed. Two thousand years of spiritual and moral accomplishment gives the lie to such a suggestion." Chalfant Borough Opens New Municipal Building The new municipal building of Chalfant borough was dedicated Saturday night at a banquet and smoker under the auspices of the Volunteer Fire Company.
