“There is a chapter on ‘Jungle lore,’ and several real tiger stories that outdo most of those common to fiction. All the photographs are very good, and the little pen and ink drawings, which are the productions of five different persons, while not equal to Mr Seton’s, carry their own individuality, and give new life to the already entertaining text.”

“As a faithful account of conditions as they have been during the last quarter of a century, Mr Stebbing’s book is likely to have a definite and permanent value; and he knows well how to entertain as well as to instruct.”

STEELE, DAVID MCCONNELL. Papers and essays for churchmen; being a series of studies on topics made timely by current events. *$1.50 (2½c) Jacobs 204
20–1134
The only unity that the author claims for this collection of papers is that “they were all written to be read either to or by churchmen.” (Foreword) The author’s mental tenor is conservative and his thinking along the lines of his convictions is vigorous. He holds that the war has dispelled the mist of immoral emotionalism that had begun to envelop the churches, a form of this emotionalism being the literal interpretation of “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” He repudiates woman’s suffrage as wholly bad, hurls anathema against labor organisations and socialism and advises that the poor, as the “economically sick,” are properly the charges, not of the church, but of the state. The contents are: Effect of the war on religion; Wanted, an American Sunday; Woman suffrage and religion; Men’s clubs and the churches; The poor, with you always; The church and labor agitation; Socialism—Christian and pagan; Revelation—final or progressive; The Episcopal church; Change of name of the church; Proportionate representation.
