“Contains sound logic—and some sophistries; much good sense—and just a little nonsense. Although we have entered a demurrer in regard to certain parts of the book, be it understood that we criticise only the universal application which the author makes of her fundamental principle of non-resistance. The excellent little volume should be widely and thoughtfully read; it is written in a style at once succinct and limpid, and it holds much truth upon which it is safe to build.”

“‘The freedom of life’ is directed not so much against the bondage of doing wrong as against the bondage of doing right in the wrong way.”

“It is a pity that a book always excellent in intention and usually in performance should be marred by such absurdities.”

Call, Annie Payson. [Man of the world.] [**]50c. Little.
The man of the world as Miss Call characterizes him is one who must know evil in order to renounce it, must be capable of understanding all phases of life, must recognize the beauty and power of the things of this world as servants to our highest law, must be in the process of gaining freedom from the world’s evils, must be a citizen of the world sustained by the mind and heart of God.
