By the Literary Editor
THE LIFE OF JESUS, by Ernest
Renan. New York. Modern Library.
95c. ,
The writing of a book such as
“The Life of Jesus” is truly a stu
pendous task. It is a work that is
attempted successfully probably not
more than once in a century. “The
Life of Jesus,” which has just come
from the Modern Library presses, is
a reprint of that famous work of
Renan's which was written in Pafles
tine in 186J.
Renan’s “Life” has always been
a thorn in the flesh of Catholicism.
None, however, could attack its fact;
they wqre forced t-o declare the au
thor unqualified to write of Him
because the author did not admit
His divinity. Years of study en
abled Renan to write the facts as
history knows them, and in a style
that is chronological enough to make
the narrative both understandable
and interesting, whether he was
qualified from the religious stand
point or not.
UNCERTAIN TREASURE, by
Helen Woodbury. Boston. LittI*,
Brown & Co., $2.
Since everyone knows that all
modern novels en(J • happily, admis
sion might as well be made now
that “Uncertain Treasure” ends in
a fashion that gives unconfined joy
to all concerned. The treasure re
ferred to in the title is the married
life of Harry and Joan, and the
treasure for a long time decidedly
is uncertain.
Barry and Joan have a great time
on their honeymoon, but, when they
finally come back to earth and Bar
ry has to go back to work for so
much a day, brass begins to show
through the gold plating of their
happiness. Barry’s friends do not
mix with those of .loan; neither do
his interests. At last the two face
the question of divorce. Upon their
decision rests the happiness which
the author seems confident is in
store for her characters in the fu
ture. What that decision was, the
reader can find—if he does not care
for modern novels but has curiosity
—on page 295, paragraph foil-.
THAT MIND OF YOURS, by*Daniel
B. Leary, Ph. D. Ne# York. J. B.
Lippincott. $1.75.
When a book of technical or semi
teehnical nature such as “That Mind
4f Yours”’ is published by a reput
able company, the first question
which pops into the minds of critics
is, “does the book justify its pub
lication?” “That Mind of Yours”
adds nothing new whatever to the
subject of psychology; it may, there
fore, bo branded by many as not
worth the trouble of publishing.
However, viewed from the light
of the casual reader, “That Mind
of Yours” is not only worthy of
publication but actually fills a need.
The infant subject of psychology is
growing so rapidly that it is of uni
versal interest. As all new sciences,
however, it has suffered from a mass
of technical nomenclature that lias
made it unintelligible to any but
the student or scholar. Leary’s book,
which leans toward behaviorism, is
written with practically no use of
technical terms and ii^ a style that
opens the field of psychology to
everyone.
THE GOOD HOPE, by Henuuu
Hei.jermans, New York. [Samuel
French. $1.50.
“The Good Hope” i.s a gripping
drama of the sea in four acts, trans
lated into English by Lillian Saund
ers and Caroline Heijermaus-Hou
wink. Heading the play has two
effects, which probably would be
la ightened upon the stage. One of
them is a striking realization of the
evils of a negligent shipping code,
brought about by a carefully drawn
picture of the Dutch law of a quar
ter of a century ago.
Hindi more important, however,
to the lover of plays is the second
effect., an understanding of the
character of those who sail the seas
at'd those who wait behind. The
fnvii and women which lie lias east
in the tiny fishing village are little
short of masterpieces of character
delineation. Most of the action of
the play passes in the cottage of a
mother of two youqg men, both of
" bom have put to sea in a rotten
schooner. The other characters
tome in and go out while the action
rises to a tremendous climax.

THE DEVIL IN THE CHEESE,
by Tom Cushing. New York. Samuel
Ereneh. $1.60.
A trip into the wind of the mod
em governess-educated girl is clev
erly managed by Tom Cushing in
his 3-act fantasy, “The Devil in the
Cheese.” The girl’s parents take
her to a monastery to get her out of
the influence of a lover of whom
they do not approve. Then, through
biting into a piece of pre-Christian
cheese, the power is given the girl's
father to see all that she thinks.
He discovers that his child is rc:^
ly in love.
In the meantime the party at the
monastery is captured by bandits.
Jimmy, the lover, arrives by air
plane, saves the party, gets the hero
ine and lives happily—at least un
til after the elosing scene. The play
is dependent upon clever lines and
the well-done fantasy for its suc
cess.
ESSENTIALS O F P UBLIC
SPEAKING, by Warren C. DuBofe,
A. M., LL. B. New York. Prcnticc
Hall. $2.
Warren C. DuBois, author of “Es
sentials of Public Speaking,” has
been teaching the art of making an
after-dinner speech for the last 14
years—the length of time which such
a speech usually seems to last. The
manual he lias evolved from his long
experience is brief but comprehen
sive. It is a summary of the fun
damentals ef the subject, summar
ising the various types of speeches,
analyzing methods of arousing in
terest and enthusiasm, and considers
the various aspects of delivery.
CHRISTOPHER' AlORLEY, by
Babette Hughes. Seattle. Univer
sity of Washington Press. 65c.
This latest issue of the University
of Washington Chapbook series is
an essay in rhyme in which the au
thor endeavors—and somewhat suc
cessfully, too—to justify the de
scriptive title which she has append
ed to Morley’s name: •‘ALulti ex
Uno.”
There were in truth many sides
to the character of Christopher Mor
ley. \ In her attempt to portray
these the author introduces the read
er to a meeting of the Three Cheers
for Morlcy Club, held at an English
inn, with good meat roasting and
good wine flowing. Christopher is
there, Kit is there, and so is Alor
Li, the Mardarin. The discussion is
healed,, genial and. bonkisii* the
whole bringing out those character
istics which the author desires to
show.
