* Matheson, George. Representative women of the Bible. *$1.50. West. Meth. bk.
7–33919.
A volume supplementary to the author’s three books on “Representative men of the Bible.” After completing ten of the studies the author died suddenly. The ten with the outline of the eleventh are: Eve the unfolded, Sarah the steadfast, Rebekah the far-seeing, Rachel the placid. Miriam the gifted, Deborah the drastic, Ruth the decided, Hannah the pious, Mary the guiding, Mary the thought-reading, and, in the appendix, Notes to the study of Mary Magdalene.
“The religious spirit, the poetic genius, and the literary skill of Dr. Matheson are indisputable. The excessive idealizing into which such qualities are prone to run appears in his portrait of Rebekah.”
