“In addition to its value as material for full knowledge of military history of the Civil war, this book has also considerable interest in its personal narrative of camp and battle incidents. Here and there flashes of humor enliven the story.”

Curtis, Olin Alfred. Christian faith personally given in a system of doctrine. *$2.50. Meth. bk.
A book which claims simply to impart a vision of the Christian faith as an organic whole of doctrine. It is not dogmatic, does not attempt “to speak the final word.... The main clue to all can be found in one thing, namely, in the junction of the two ideas, personal responsibility and racial solidarity.” The introduction discusses man and the Christian religion, then follows a six part treatment of the system of doctrine.
