“Mr McDowall’s book should be read. It has the awareness, the keen interest in living problems, of the work of William James.”

“Mr McDowall approaches his topic from many angles and cites a wealth of relevant illustration, but finally leaves the impression that he has failed to get at the heart of it. One reason of his inadequacy is the ease with which he dismisses as obsolete the older uses of the term realism.”

MCEVILLY, MARY A. Meslom’s messages from the life beyond. *$1.50 (6c) Brentano’s 134
20–6732
The book is a record of automatic writing executed by the author and bearing messages from the beyond by Meslom, an ancient Hindu, and, with the aid of Meslom, by “L,” a victim of the war, to his mother. In the introduction the author relates how she developed her gift. The messages are chiefly confined to spiritual problems, to God’s creative force and love and the growth in spiritual power and peace of both “L” and his mother.
