34: THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX. PORTLAND, XUXE 25, 1905- The Unfolding of the Age, in the RCTfcla- tlon of John, by Dr. Ford C. Ottoman. The Baker & Taylor Co.. New York. In the theological world, where cham pions, fortifying themselves behind bul warks of tradition and inspiration as against others who plead for interpreta tion secured through research and -what Is railed "higher criticism," this book will bring Joy to the orthodox and es pecially to Protestant laymen. Dr. Ottman has written honestly anJ fear lessly, when the fact Is taken into con sideration that he belongs to the younger generation of pastors and has had the disclipllne of Princeton. Edin burgh and Lelpsic. He frankly says that his book is the more valuable, as the Interpretation of a man who does not alone cling to the words of Scrip ture from prejudices Instilled In his youth, but because after long study and investigation he has become firm ly entrenched in his belief. Will this book create discussion? Rather. It cannot please both schools of religious belief Protestant and Catholic. "Who wrote the Apocalypse? Schol ars differ. One branch and they are in the majority say that the book was written by the Apostle John. Others say that the Gospel of John is by an unknown author, while the Apocalyspe is by the Apostle John; a man called John, the otherwise known presbyter, who had no wish to be taken for the apostle: by another John, one of the apostle's disciples, who afterwards re ceived the tacit approval of the apostle, so that the book was uni versally received as the work of the apostle: that the book was foisted upon the Apostle John without his knowledge, anJ so on. Take your choice against these speculations of Bible scholars. Dr. Ottman says In an authoritative mariner: "The writer of the fourth gospel was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write the Apocalypse, and this fact guarantees the title of the book to a place in the sacred can on." All of which is a question of agreement and scholarship. What is the Apocalypse? An endless field of speculation as to events that have already taken place and that are yet to come that is one view. With considerable skill Dr. Ottman reviews the ground taken by the Praeterists, the his torical interpreters-, the Futurists and others. He gives it as his deliberate opinion that everything from the fourth chapter to the end of the book is still in the future, "and will follow the removal of the church from the earth at the ap pearing of our Lord." The Jewish question Is recognized in Dr. Ottman's 611 pages, and he holds that conclusive scriptural testimony will be established to furnish the fact of Israel's future glory and unique position among the na tlons. Hero are suggestive passages: The writer believes that in the history of the prophet Jonah there is represented the dlspensatlonal history of the Jewish people. They, by their wilful rejection of the com mission given them by Qod, were cant into the sea of the nations, where, like Jonah In the belly of the fish, they were entombed, and where they shall remain until In the agony of their sorrows they shall cry might ily unto God. Then he will deliver them, find they shall become the foreordained channel of blesMng to the Gentiles. . . . There is reason to suppose that the first capital city of the revived empire will be the literal city of Home. ... Babylon a the "City of the Beast." and not Home. Is evidently the last imperial city found In opposition to Qod and Christ. . . . We shall need to keep clearly before Us the distinction between Israel and the church. Israel Is not the church, nor was Israel merged Into the church. Time for Israel Is not counted from the cross of Christ until his return for the church. ... The Old Testament closes with the promise of the ris ing of the Sun of Righteousness. The New Testament closes with the promise of the coming of the Morning Star. ... In the 19th century of the apocolypse, where the Appearing of Christ Is announced. He is rep resented as a rider on a white horse. But he ha a "crown of many diadems" and his weapon is the "sword." This rider In all probability, if he can be compared with any historical personage of the past, might be with Napoleon Bonaparte, whose extraor dinary career electrified the world. Such a prince, in order to fulfill the prophecy of Daniel, must come. In the light of recent events connected with the Russo-Japanese war. it is in teresting to read Dr. Ottoman's view of the nations "swept by the swirl of judg ment" into the field of prophetic history: It is also possible ... powerful na tions of the North shall be used for God for executing Judgment upon the beast before the mlllental kingdom of Christ Is estab lished. Magog represents the Scythians, from whom, after their mixture with the Medes. came the Russians. Therefore the 'Prince of Kosh" Is none other than the Crar of Russia, while Meshech and Tubal are Moscow and- Tobolsk, the pillar cities of that empire. We have only to look at a Biblical map In order to locate geographically these nations found In banded conflict against Israel. In the last days. Magog Is in Rub- -U in T7ii1 nnrth of th RlaV K Th, and their allies are found within the geo graphical area of the present Russian em pire From this hotbed of unrest will spring the noxious growth that shall overspread the fields marked out by prophecy. Enough has been quoted to show that Pr. Ottoman has written a remarkable book in Its special Held of investigation. J. M. Stained Glaas Work, by C. W. WhalL 51.50. With Illustrations. D. Appleton Co., New Tork. Here we have another of that wel come artistic crafts series of technical handbooks, edited by W. R. Lethaby. Mr. Whall frankly admits at the be ginning that no art can be taught by books and that an artist's best way of teaching is directly and personally to his own pupils. However, he recognizes the trend of the times and has respect for those who. during the last eight or ten years have worked In the teaching sldo of the art and craft movement, and In furtherance of Its objects have writ ten helpful Industrial handbooks. This book Is written for students. In our Jays, artists and painters of distinc tion, have taken up the practice of one or other of the crafts, but their work has rather been In the direction of dc- s sign rather than real practice. For. Raphael designed for tapestry anil while the cartoons are priceless, art Judges now admit that the tapestry was a failure. Trained technical skill is demanded, and for country students far removed from technical schools, such a book as Mr. Whall's Is a most valuable Incentive to work In the de partment of stained glass. Craftsmen say that the art though roachlng to very high ideals it In Its methods sim ple, or rather limited. Up to now we have been too much engaged in clearing ground for a liv ing, creating new markets, and work ing at those arts which mean the gain ing of our daily bread, to think serious ly of spending time dreaming about the beauties of stained glass. The sup ply of stained gla.'s in this country Is limited, and Its real home Is In Eu rope, amid cathedrals and abbeys. But with the growth of technical schools, the Held of stained glass in the United States is obtaining broader vision. Mr. Whall'a book is Instructive without be ing dull, and Is full to the brim with knowledge skillfully Imparted. His chapters include such subjects as: Raw material, cutting, elementary and ad vanced painting, matting, badgering, firing, kiln work, staining and adding, leading-up and fixing, soldering, color, economy, architectural fitness, study of old glass, restoring ancient windows, collotype plates, etc t Iowa, the First Free State in the LoulnUaa Purchase, by William Salter.

Sir. Salter treats of Iowa from Its discov ery to the admission of the state into the Union. 1673-1846. A resident of Iowa for 61 years, he has been an im mediate observer of ita rrrowth and progress from a census of ti,ioz in 1644 to 3.U1.SS1 in I90t. and has cult!- j vated with assiduity a study of Its HiMurj. puDisniHK niniocr vl articles i upon the subject in the "Annals of j Iowa," and "Iowa Historical Record.' The present volume Is an outcome of these studies. Mr. Salter treats of the subject.under these heads: Discovery: The Abori gines; Under France, 16S2-1770; Under Spain, 1770-1804; In the Louisiana Pur chase. 1803-1804; In the District of Louisiana Under the Government of Indiana Territory. 1SO4-1S05; in the Territory of Louisiana, 1K6-1S12: In the Territory of Missouri. 1812-1821; In Unorganized Territory of the United State. 1821-1S34; In the Territory of Michigan. 1834-1836: In the Terltory of Wisconsin. 1836-1S3S; In the Territory of Iowa. 1K8-1S46: and Organization of the State and Admission into the Union, 1S46. On page 61 is given a short yel very Interesting account of the start of the Lewis and Clark exploring party, and further along are half-tones of Meri wether Lewis and William Clark. The best word pictures In the book are those which describe the peace meet ing of the Sacs and Foxes and all other Indian tribes from the Lakes to the Missouri River, at Prairie du Chien. in the Summer of 1S2S; and use is made of a liberal extract from "The Conquest," by Eva Emery Dye. The various hls- torical events are ably handled, and the general plan of the book Is pleas- ing and easily understood.

An odd twinge almost of pain, ax If the authoress had been one of those women who has loved "and lest that Is the domi nant thought striking a reader after lay ing down this Interesting little volume. " 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all." That thought Impresses one with its pplrit of consolation, and gives strength to the conviction that a woman Is better and stronger who has passed through the fire of love. Sometimes a stlng remains, and this must have been true of Helena WolJeska. Her book Is a collection of epi grams that are clever In themselves, and they reveal frankly the working of a woman's mind on subjects which women rarely discus. The epigams are extracts from the journal of a woman who was born of a distinguished family In Vienna.

And over all is the drowsy bum of the bee. Then her mood changes, and in fancy we gaze on a ruined abbey, the Corinthian colonnade of San Lorenzo, a shaft abut ting on a Gothic archway against which clings a flower-decked shrine, and a pal ace of some Caesar, with stone carving on the windows, like fine lace on a girl's gown. Primary Headers, containing a complete course In phonics, by Katharine E. Sloan. First book. 70 cents, and second book. 25 cents. The Macmlllaa Company, New Tork. These two little school books are writ ten by Katherlne E. Sloan, of this city, and acknowledgement ! given to City Superintendent Rlgler. .who Introduced the method now Illustrated of teaching read ing into the public schools of Portland. The first preface says: "The aim of this reader is to give the child the independent power to read, with the least labor and In the shortest time. Therefore, It deals more particularly with phonics. But the lessons are so arranged that they may be taught by the word or sentence method, which, as a first step, should undoubtedly precede all others. Words should be dealt with first as wholes, with no reference to their elements. This book deals Urst with the word method, gradually introduc ing phonics; then with the two together. Here and there are specimens of ver tical writing, so clearly printed that it is impossible to mistake one letter or word for others, which, after all. Is the best test of good writing. For. granted that a slanting style to the right looks pretty, what Is Its practical use if it can not be easily read? The books are strong ly bound, calculated to stand tear and wear from busy, little fingers, and the subject matter Is so ably presented that the whole work is highly creditable both to authoress and publishers. The Illus trations, several of them In colors, are run of value, and cannot fall to be use ful in deepening the pupils understand ing. The Black Motor Car, by Harris Burland. u. . uuungham Companr. New Tork. There is something fascinating before opening this book to glance at the outside cover and absorb the meaning of a strik ing picture of a gleaming auto with its eyes of fire generated through headlights. wnne on the driver's seat sits a black bearded man with a sinister aspect that at once suggests action. He Is Jack Por- teous, bank embezzler of 6355 pounds ster ling, and latterly William Jordlson. ex concist. expert auto manufacturer, chauf- teur and burglar. The storr develons In aristocratic England, and there Is plenty ot coloring and rapid-fire action. Here Is a word painting of Jordlson's auto: Llpp grunted doubtfully. He ws not judge or the beautiful, and certainly there, was little to admire in the ear from an aesthetic point of view. It was made en tirely of steel, and bore some resemblance to the engine of an armored train. It had a nine-iooi wneel-base. and was IS feet length. Aa It lay at rest it looked a huge unwieioy monster, an inert mass of metal. that four horses would have found a good wad for them to draw. It weighed nft less than three tons. It was painted black bonnet, body, wheels, all a dead dull black, without any luster of enamel to relieve the gloom or it surface, it was In truth an ugly thing, a cross between a hearse and locomotive. Yet It represented the last word In motors. It was William Jordlson's tri umph the almost perfect car. Jimmy Brown Trying to Find Europe, by W. L Alden. 60 cents. Harpers & Brothers, .xw loric. Another of the "Jimmy Brown" series, and the new edition confirms the opinion that Jimmy Is a wonderful boy and that he gets mixed up with more adventures than the average individual. All the same, the story makes entertaining read ingjust the sort that a healthy boy de lights in before he has reached the age of serious things. The tone Is admirable and clean. After living with a married sister. Jimmy meets a boy, Mike, who was stealing strawberries, and in explain ing the fight that took place. Jimmy says The boy was an Irish boy, and he was full of fight- As soon as I began to put him out, I found It was going to be hard Job. Once we fell into -the hotbed that was close to the straw be ry bed and broke S4 panes of glass. That boy was obstinate." The two boys subsequently became great chums, and after 13S pages of adventures on this side of the Atlantic, they become stowaways on board a steam er going from Montreal to Europe. In Paris. Jimmy and Mike meet the former's parents, a very fortunate arrangement for the tourists. In and Out ef the liaec. by Frances Thomas lloward. 31.50. The Neale Publishing company. New Tork. This is an account of the Civil War relating to incidents affecting the oc cupation of Georgia by Federal troops in l-65. and is the experience of a South ern family during that unhappy pcriod- The authoress states that the accoun she presents wan actually written in IISTO, but that circumstances made pub lication impracticable at that time. Heroic deeda and grim tragedies are strikingly described mostly from the viewpoint of women and children left at home while their male relatives were fighting at the front. The book is worth reading, as it touche? a field that most of ua born since, the dark days of '65 know little about, warped as our educa tion has been by war histories bristling with statistics.

If Japan had not shown by her war vic tories on sea and land with Russia that she Is a world power and Is otherwise capable of teaching the white race many things we have not hitherto dreamed of. the process of exclusion might have pre vented the fierce searchlight which has since been turned on her, telling us of hidden, artistic Japan. A typical search light Is the present volume, with ita brown canvas covers, and brown paper pages bearing Imprints of strange-looking animals and yet stranger looking hu mans, combining to tell us of Japanese art Ukiyo-ye, the popular school of Jap anese art. la poetically interpreted "The Floating World." and Ita art is stated to pbe a spiritual rendering of the realism and naturalness of the dally life.

It Is accepted that the true history of the school is not a history of the technical art of printing. but an esthetic history of a peculiar kind or design. China and Corea were no doubt the direct sources from which Japan derived her art and more indi rectly she was Influenced by Persia and India.

Mr. Lath- rop Is well known from his previous suc cesses in "A Little Lower Than the Angels" and "The Being With the Up- turnea tace.

Mr. Lathburv srives message similar to one spoken by great teacher pow dead: "If ... I had the power I would make happiness as infectious as disease." There are 11 chapters In the book, in which the beauty of style Is uniform throughout. The. Flying Lesson: Tea Sonnets: Two Con- sonl: Double Sestlna From TVtrarch. by Agnes Tobln.

When one sees the throngs of richly-ap pareled money-spenders at the great resorts. dining, driving, yachting, dancing, it .some times seems as though big salaries big in- comsa were the rule rather than the excep tion. An article contributed In the current Issue of the Youth's Companion by Carroll D. Wright will tend to correct this notion. Salaries of more than 323,000 are. compara tively, about as scarce as hens teeth, and those of 35000 and 310.000 are not so numer ous as to be had for the asking. Mrs. Mary Stewart Cutting, whose "Little Stories of Courtship" seem booked to repeat the success of her earlier talcs of suburban life, "Little Stories of Married Life," has every license to write on the life of the commuter. She has been one herself for over a dozen years. She began her suburban existence in Bergen Point, and has been a resident of almost half a dozen nearby Jer- y towns. Her home is now near Brick Church. In the beginning she was quite un conscious of the fact that her work had any special suburban character. "I just teld the stories that came to me. My own experi ences naturally furnished me material." she says, "and when It was done I found that It was suburban life and commuters almost exclusively that I had been writing about."
