Knowles, Robert E. Undertow: a tale of both sides of the sea. †$1.50. Revell.
Caught in the undertow of selfishness a young theologian breasts its fury and wins a hard fought victory in the end. He battles his arch enemy among the self-sacrificing father and mother of the fine old Scotch school, and faithful brother Reuben, he fights it in the midst of graduate studies no less than in London in the church to which he is called. The bitterness of an enemy which leads to a misunderstanding with his wife furnishes the annealing process which his nature needs.
“This is one of the innumerable novels based on a sentimental perception of right and wrong.”

Knowling, Rev. Richard John. Testimony of St. Paul to Christ: as viewed in some of its aspects. *$3 Scribner.
“This important work is divided into three parts: I, The documents and the grounds upon which their use is justified; II, Paul’s testimony in relation to ‘The life’ of the gospels; III. Paul’s testimony in relation to the life of the church. The concluding chapter deals with the literature on the subject published in 1903–5.”—Bib. World.
“Of Dr. Knowling’s learning and ability there can be no question; he is moreover, thoroughly well up in the latest results of criticism, and although he apparently regards critics who are nothing but critics as opponents of Christianity, he usually states their opinions fairly. It is in the second and third parts that Dr. Knowling is revealed as the apologist with a very thin veneer of criticism.”
