XHE SUNDAY OMG02TLL3T, POKTUlXD, APRIL 1, lfO. 45 I - 527 The Kdge of Hazard. By George Horton. Illustrations by c M Rlya, The Bobbs- Merrill Co.. Indianapolis. Ind. Portland people who have seen Ralph Stuart In the romantic American-Russian play "By Right of Sword" will recognise and admire the prototype of the hero in Frederick Courtland Hardy, the chief per former in Mr. Horton's novel. "The Edge of Hazard," which deals with Russian frontier life at a. period preceding the Russo-Japanese war. The racy style, describing love. Intrigue, fighting, a duel, aristocracy and Incident following incident In rapid succession, remind one of the pages of MeCutchoon or Anthony Hope. Mr. Hardy Ix distinctly a fortunate young man. One of Boston's Hlvt. experiencing the sudden loss of his forHm and rast off by the society moth h thought to marr.'. Hardy accepts an offer to be superintendent of an Ameri can trading station In Siberia. En rout to Vladivostok he manages to secure the affections of a young Japanese girl named Aisome, a Vassar graduate. Arrested an a supposed Russian py. Hardy Is visited by Aifiome, who says: nl now co'xl-l . You may let me oner. If iou rrnlly meant what you Kald. It will b the o'nly Mss nf my life, as It Is not the custom of my country.' She raised hr Hps tn him and h" stooped and kissed her- The lljw iver dewy and very sweet, and he v-bb ronnrlous of tome nubtle perfume, as If she herself wore some exquisite flower. ' "Good-by." the whlupered. "and think honiMlmeft of the little Lilac Blossom." She turned and was cone. Very poetic. Mr. Horton Is careful to insist on th fact that Hardy Is a Bos ton man. wears eyeglasses and is one of the best revolver shots this country ever knew Consequently, in the pages that follow Hardy is given everj chance to prove his skill as 'a marksman. But the chief incident. In the 22d chapter, where Hardy shoots Stenka to save the latter from death on the cross at the hands of Chinese bandits, would have been hotter omitted. It conies as shock to women i i readers, In a duel with Prince Romanoff. Hardy's skill Is so marked that he succeeds In . Fhooting oft one" of the Prince's cuffbut- ' tons. The romance element Is contributed ' Toy the love match of Hardy and the Princess Romanovna. Wang, supposedly a Oorean boy. secures a position as sec retary with Hardy, and it is strange that 4he latter did not penetrate the disguise nnd aay to Wang: "You are Alsome." For such la the case. Lucky Hardy he was loved at the same time by two women. How did the matter end? Tn the lart chapter Hardy, the Princess and Alsome are Journeying in a sleigh through tho .mow to board a train en route to the war In the Far East, when they are at tacked by wolves. Hardy's revolver comes Into play and he fires his remaining cart Tldges at tho howling wolves. In a mo ment of martyrdom. Wang, alias Alsome. leaps among the maddened animals, say ing: "Farewell, my beloved. I givo you to her and to happiness I. who have Toved you tho most." The story finishes tr- ten additional lines, with the decisive Information that Hardy, "with tears streaming down his cheeks, stands erect In the sleigh and holds the swooniug Princess in his ,arms." The title of tho story Is taken from Shakespeare's "All's Well That Ends Well." Christian Origins, by Dr. Otto Pflelderer. fl 75 pet. B. W. Huebsch. New York City. Translated from the German by Daniel A. Hcubsch. Th. I)., this book of 295 iages made a sensation, among theological circles when it recently appeared In -Germany. It is the result of a scries of puhlic lectures delivered a short time ago at the University of Berlin during a Winter semester. In the presence of students of all departments and many noncollcgiatc visitors of both sexes. The viewpoint from which Dr. Pflelderer describes the origin of Christianity differs vastly and In many ways from the tra ' ditional church presentation. According ly, ft is easy to believe that the book has not been written for such readers as feel satisfied by the traditional church faith. The author rather addresses those who are possessed of an urgent desire to learn what la to be thought from the standpoint .of modern science concerning the origin of the faith and the eternal and temporal In It. The views expressed by the author are the result of more than 40 years anxious study. "The rationalist Paulus." write. Ir. Pfleld erer, "explains the miracle of J ecu walking on the waters by saying that the Greek word had been misunderstood, so that the passage mean not 'on,' but 'by. the waters. The miracle at the baptlmr. of Jesus rests on a mistaken Interpretation ot the fact that a dove chanced to alight an Jesus at that mo ment The miracle of the transformation of the water at Cana .is reduced to the mere trick ot the prestidigitator, which Jesus per formed as a bit of amusement at the wedding. Less comically Innocent, but repugnant and low. Is the rational explanation ot the birth story, wherein the thought-laden poetry or legend Is dragged In the mire of vulgar prose. Half a century ago the great church historian. Ferdinand Christian Baur. ot Tubingen, was the first one who dared to apply to the hls trrv of Christianity the thought of "evolu tion. which had long been normative In every other department of science. His opponents reproached him with a lack of understanding of the perron of Jesus this was a gross In justice eo far as historical understanding Is concerned. He was most hearty la his rec ognition of the moral greatness of Jesus. But his sober and upright ene of truth did not restrain htm from the romantic deification of the person of Jesus and his segregation frosi all historical conditions and limitations. "The origin of Christianity Is to b thought of as a developing process in which various ether factors were working along with the Itfcwork of Jesus. These united and adjusted themselves gradually, but not without inner contradictions and struggles. "Jesus (aspired ethers because he htmtelf was inspired by a faith, more elevatlifg than humiliating, "bringing biles more than terrAr.

He then entered tlie church, and for a. short time held a pastorate at Hell bronn; he became -professor of theology at Jena and In J5T5 was called to tho chair' of systematic theology at Berlin, having made his name by a merles of articles on w Testament criticisms and Johannlne and Pauline theology.

Pfleldcrer bo longs to the critical school which has grown out of tho impulse given "by Baur. He Is perhaps the leading renre- tentative of the liberal theological move- ment, and has none of the dogmatic narrowness that was at one time a char- acteristle of the German school.

Hazel of Ilesthrrlaad. by Mabel Barnes Grundy. 51.50. The Baker & Taylor Com pany. New Tork City. A wise man who thought ho knew women .well, once remarked that all novels were about marrying and being married that Is. so far as women are concerned. Now. Just as sugar Is to tea or Bunshlne to flowers so do charming piquancy and almost Irish wit crystallize Into one of the best love stories of the year. "Haxel of Heatherland." It Is Impossible to mis take this being an English novel with Its atmosphere of quiet rest, country lanes and gardens, and the many occasions on which its characters take tea with each other. Their onespeclaI enjoyment seems to be tea drinking. The motif of the book is the perplexity of Hazel Wycherley in her choice of a husband who must also be her lover, and the diverse personalities of two of her adorers, Robert Inderwlck nnd Eustace Escourt, The story Is told in the first person singular and the title could well have been: "Hazel Wycherley. Pepperbox." She was a young woman of most uncertain temper and was all the better of a guardian. In one of her tempers she said: "Lord, may I be something male in the next life. I don't care what It is. a weasel, even, so long as It Is not a female." The novel gives these definitions of tho gentler sex. A woman Is tha most Interesting, complex, unexpected sort of creature God has created. She has great receptive powers, no con structive ability, a character with 150 sides to It, and her moods and whims are beyond counting, for they are legion. 4n love affairs men Invariably die before women. It takes a great deal to kill wom en they cling to life with the tenacity ot a cat It Is quite remarkable when women do find tnelr congenial work how quickly they lire, of It and then they cry out that their strength Is not sufficient to stand It. Wom en are such humbugs! It should be remembered , that Hazel refused to marry one of her lovers be cause he wore a blue necktie Instead of a green one. and because bis shoe laces had knots In them. Tbe True Andrew Jackson, by Cyrus Town send Brady. L. L. D. Postpaid. Illustrated. J. P. IJpplncott Company, Philadelphia. Filled to the brim -with historical data, portraits of people famous In the history of our country, fac-simtles of, public doc uments this hiBtory of tho career of the seventh President of the United States is a notable volume. The autnor Is one of those who Is not over fond of the term Scotch-Irish, meaning people who are natives of the north of Ireland. He says: It Is known that the Jackeons came from Carrlckfergus. a town sear Belfast. In the Province of lister. One thing is certain. There is no evidence whatever that there was any Scotch blood Sn them at alt. and the pleasant fiction that because they be longed to the- Presbyterian Church they were therefore not pure-blooded Irish may be courteously hut firmly dismissed. What ever Justification there may Tf for the hybrid term Scotch-Irish, there is no evi dence that Jackson represented the alleged mixture that comes under that curious name. With this view of the case, there -will naturally be many expressions of dissent. There can be no doubt that In the batbe of Xew Orleans. January S. 3 ELS. Jackson was materially aided to success by the mad stupidity of the British In ordering a frontal attack. Dr. Brady admits that it would have been possible for Pakenham to flank Jackson -out of the latter s strong defensive position. The graphic atyle of the book and the wtHMfWttc BMdolei teM.-t the ty war JWV rlor, make the recital of more than ordi nary interest. "I call Washington the founder. Jackson the perpetrator, and Lincoln the preserver of our country, says Dr. Brady. The College Man sad the College Woman. By William De Witt Hyde, president of Bowdoln College. J1.SO. Houghton. Mlf--flln & Co. Boston. Mul, and the J. K. GIU Co.. Portland. Enthusiastic and optimistic. Presi dent Hyde gives his tlews based on a mature understanding of essential matters connected with college life, His observations are thoso of one who has been a president during 20 years of college life and college administra tion. It Is just the book to assure over anxious parents and guardians that college students with all their faults and follies are among the best fellows in all the world. For the first 45 pages the story Is told by letters describing the transfor mation of the undergraduate, and the other chapters are In the form of ad dresses. Most of the matter has al ready been appreciated In several high-class American magazines. The author thinks that the main reliance of a college for Its moulding of men nnd women lies In actual living. In an atmosphere of freedom -where each person has returned to him frankly, swiftly, mercilessly, 'the social Judg ment tha,t his acts Invite and his char acter deserves. The book Is dedicated to President Roosevelt. What I Reticles? Aad Other Mad est Ques tions. By President Henry S. Pritchett. of ine jjaxacnustiis institute or Technology. Si. Houghton Mifflin & Co.. Boston. Mass., and the J. K. QUI Co.. Portlsnd. Five helpful addresses dealing with dif ficult questions which today confront the church and humanity. The titles of tho talks arc: "What Is Truth?" "What Is Religion?" "The Significance of Prayer"; and "Ought a Religious Man to Join Churchy' Tho views expressed bear the stamp of liberal good sense. Of course. the. author assumes that a religious man should Join a church. He argues that if people find their religious lives quickened by some body of professing Christians, that they should not let any formal creed stand In Jhe way of fellow ship with these Christians. "Christianity even in Its organized form Is no longer creed." says President Pritchett. "It Is the visible expression of the gradually growing, gradually advancing conscience of the race. Darwin. Spencer and Tyndall have helped to mould the church of today no less truly than Luther. Zwlngle and Wesley. Individuality aad Immortality. By Wllhelm Ostwald. professor ot physical chemistry at the University ot Leipzig and temporary professor at ITsrvard vclverstty. 76 cents. Houghton. Mifflin & Co.. Boston. MarL. and the J, K. Gill Co.. Portland. It Is an old but comforting thought coming to us from tho mists of ages that it Is not death to die to take the leap into the unknown. The immortal ity Idea of the theologian Is too well known to warranVrepetltlon here- Profes sor Ostwald, in giving the Ingcrsoll lec ture of liOS, treats of the subject ot our future life as he -would discuss a prob lem In chemistry. He writes In the cold, merciless accents of science on the latest thought relating to the connection of mind and matter. Here Is tho conclusion of his book of 71 pages: "Every advance ment that we, by the sweat of our brows, may succeed in making toward our own perfection. Is so much gain for our chil dren, and our children's children forever. I must confess that I can think of no grander perspective of Immortality than this.' Dick rentreaifa. by Katharine Tynan.

All -who love character sketches ot English life, where one of the more Important actors la a dog, will find what they want in this well construct ed novel of 344 pages. The dog. San cho. figures in every complex situation throughout the book, and the Inci dents are skilfully -woven together. Dick Penreath marries In haste a slat tern and a drunkard, and repents at leisure. Mrs. Penreath Is, however, mercifully killed off Just in time to allow the hero to marry a former sweetheart. Here is one ot th latter's expressed opinions: "A man should not put himself at a girl's feet If he -wants her to love him in the common', human way."

Where is the lover of the sea. who has not gone forth at early dawn and at the dote of day to watch the old sun thread his colors lavishly over the water and upon the wet saad; his -aurples and reds, his dainty shades of pink and sbisasaering greens? A kindred spirit inthls novel is Adam, the clam digger, who was once a teacher of biology, but prefers the soli tary life, and fcepes in time to sfcake ot? all the dry dost of science.

She also expressed a wish to drown the baby. In the lart chapter. Mrs. Christie emerges as a sort of purified Madonna on a baby- farm, and is so. "reformed that her de luded husband takes her back again. The book is written with literary skill. but its tone Is morbid too much after the Sarah Grand-Oulda order of things.
