Plantz, Samuel. Church and the social problem: a study in applied Christianity. *$1.25. Meth. bk.
With the aim of assisting in bringing Christian ideals into the domain of our social and industrial life, this discussion presents the present situation of social reconstruction, considers whether the church has a special mission to society as well as to the individual, and brings forward some things the church can and ought to do in order to meet the obligations which the problems of the hour impose upon her.
Plato. Myths of Plato; text and translation; with introductory and other observations by J. A. Stewart. *$4.50. Macmillan.
“This book is likely to prove more stirring, and more lasting, in its appeal, than many a piece of scholar’s work, no less learned, perhaps. but with less of the whole man in it.” R. R. Marett.

“The whole book is certainly full of suggestion: even if we must add—as I think we must—that the view of Plato’s attitude here taken is a little unhistorical, and that the metaphysical doctrines here suggested are a little crude.” J. S. Mackenzie.

“A useful book. The translation is excellently executed in the pseudo-archaic Biblical ‘Morte d’Arthur’ style, which is distasteful to many critics, but which on the whole is better suited to the myths than is the easy colloquialism of Jowett. It is substantially correct.” Paul Shorey.
