LANE, MRS ANNE (WINTERMUTE), and BEALE, MRS HARRIET STANWOOD (BLAINE).[[2]] To walk with God. (Deeper issues ser.) *$1.25 Dodd 134
20–6367
A series of “lessons” which the authors received in the form of automatic writings. An introduction gives the circumstances under which the messages were received and the lessons have to do with the power of love, helpfulness, kindness and the need for spiritual guidance. The authors say: “We realise that it will be said that there is nothing new in the teaching, and we admit that there is repetition to what seems an unnecessary degree, but we pledge our word that we have put nothing of our own into the text.” (Introd.)
“The fact that the wife of the Secretary of the interior and the daughter of James G. Blaine are the recipients of these messages will make a certain demand for the book.”

LANE, MRS ROSE (WILDER). Making of Herbert Hoover. *$3.50 (4½c) Century
20–18582
Herbert Hoover represents America, says the author, and his is the spirit of five generations of American pioneers. His life began at the end of one pioneer age and the beginning of the other. His ancestors had been sturdy pioneers of Quaker stock—his father a blacksmith. They had conquered the soil, he conquered the world of finance. Much of the material of the book has been collected by Charles Kellogg Field, classmate and friend of Hoover.
