“The scene of action ... is almost entirely on the shore and in the harbor, though the strenuous life of the open sea is always in the background exerting its powerful influence on the actors and the drama. The author is attempting to show the evil ways into which many of the fishing communities have fallen, and their need of moral and spiritual help.”—Outlook.
[*] “The thread of the story is not very distinct. The humor of the book is good, however, though here and there a little underdone, in seasoning and overdone in cooking.”

[*] “As a tract the book makes a strong appeal; as a story it limps a little and lacks freshness of conception and treatment; as a portrayal of character it is delightfully quaint and humorous.”

Waters, N. McGee. Young man’s religion and his father’s faith. [**]90c. Crowell.
Eight practical talks which endeavor to reconcile the old thought and the new. On the ground that altho our conception of the Bible has changed and broadened the book itself is the same, the author declares that the young man who believes in the theory of evolution and questions the infallibility of the Bible differs from the faith of his fathers only in nonessentials and that altho our creeds may be new they seek to define the ways of the same loving God.
