The Vitality ! Marmaalsm. by James S.
Taltnaga. Richard ii. .Badger, Boatea
lliu.
Calm and conservative in tone and
explanation, this book consists of
series of 104 lectures that-have been
printed elsewhere from week to week,
on the general subjet of the religious
belief of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-Day Saints, popularly called
Mormon.
However much some people do not
agree with the conclusions so ably
presented by Mr. Talmage, there can
be no doubt of his honesty of belief
and the courage he shows in express
ing it. Mr. Talmage Is one of the 12
apostles of the church mentioned, and
he speaks of his messages as "brief
essays on distinctive doctrines of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints."
Wa are presented with this basis of
Mormoalam: a
1. The eternal azlstesee ef a living par
saral uoe: and the r-itenc and
ei.raal duration of mankind as hla literal
effsprins.
3. The placing ef maa upon the earth
as aa embodied spirit te ttnderga the x-
perieacee of aa Intermediate probation.
3. Tbe transgreaaloa and fall of tbe first
parents of the rice, by which man became
mortal, or la other words was doomed to
utrer a aeaarauoa as spirit ana Doajr
through death.
4. Tho absolute need of a redeemer.
empowered tw overcome death and thereby
provide for a reanion of the spirits and
bodies of mankind through a material
resurreetioa from death to Immortality.
S. The providing of a definite plan of
aalvatloa. by obedience to blcA maa may
obtain remission of his sine and be enabled
to advance by effort and rigaieoua achieve
ment througnout eternity
s. The establishment of the church ef
Jesus Christ la 'The meridlaa of time" by
the personal ministry and atoning death
of the foreordained redeemer and savior
of mankind, and the proclamation of his
saving gospel through the ministry or the
holy priesthood, during the apostolic period
and lor a season tnereatter.
Thar are other paragraphs In the
basts of Mormontsm, as quoted by our
author, but these cannot be given
now. because of pressure on space.
There are. to a lay mind, many sur
prising statements in the volume. For
Instance, we read on page 148: "The
Church of Jesus Christ was established
npon the American continent, and that
through the personal ministry of the
risen lord, soon after his ascension
from Mount Olivet. The Book of
Mormon contains a circumstantial ac
count of this marvelous theopany.
Jesus Christ visited the aboriginal
peoples of the western continent.
"About 400 years after the visita
tion of Christ, the church In America
ceased to exist, for an overwhelming
tide of apostasy had swept the new aa
well as tbe old world, and by divine
allowance the Nephite nation fell a
prey to its hereditary foes."
Page 171: "America is the land .Of
Zion. Zlon is to be established on
this continent. In the western part of
the United States. The tims of the
consummation Is conditioned by the
fitness of tho people. Hither shall
come the hosts of scattered Israel and
the lost tribes from their long ob
scurity." We are also Informed that the Mor
mon church believes in reincarnation,
"that there Is In man an immortal
spirit that shall continue to exist as
the same mortal Individual, after the
body has gone t odecay." (p. 216).
H r. Talmage insists that tho Church
of Latter-Day Saints is no sect, but

upon the earth in this age as a
restoration.
It Is to be hoped that as Zlon is
predicted to be built "in the westarn
part of the United States." that it
may be built somewhere In Oregon.
Oregon is in the west. Whers could
one find a fairer location, or one
more ideal?

Landis is furiously jealous and, be
cause he suspects Joan looks too
kindly at another man, he brands
her shoulders with a red-hot Iron,
just as he would brand a steer. It
was Pierre's "two-bar brand."
Joan screams for help, and a
passerby, one Prosper Gael, comes
up. Pierre and Gael fire their guns
at one another, and Pierre drops.
Believing that he had killed Pierre,
Gael takes wounded Joan to his own
sumptuous house, and she Is nursed
back to health. She and her rescuer
love each other and practically they
live as a married couple.
At last Joan breaks away, although
by this time Gael's novel, "The
Canon," Is a big seller. Joan leaves
Gael who Is, secretly, a married
man and becomes a cook for a ranch
outfit Afterward, she becomes a cel
ebrated actress. Pierre turns up. Is it
to be Pierre her husband -or Gael,
her affinity?
The finale is well worked up.
Rex Beach says of "The Branding

best-told stories I have ever read.

The Awakening of Asia, by H. M. Rynd
man. Bonl st LWerigbt. New York City.
Mr. Hyndman. an English writer.
has plenty to find fault with in his
scathing criticism of the incapable
manner in which, he says, white races
govern and treat the people of Asia.
It appears that the British censor
held up the book for more than two
years presumably during the recent
war period. It was a wise procedure.
Mr. Hyndman s message is cour
ageous, illuminating and constructive.
Ho thinks that white peoples are in
error in trying to create European
spheres of Influence in China, and
that China distrusts the white races
so much that she would gladly prefer
to manage her own destiny. In other
words China for the Chinese.
As for India, our author is sure the
British misgovern it, and that "the

Taking the Ceant, by Charles B. Van Loan
George H. Doran Co., New York City.
N. Y.
It was the brilliant New York Sun
newspaper that once called the late
Mr. Van Loan "The O. Henry of our
national sports," and tho title was
well placed.
Here are ten of the Van Loan sport
ing stories clean, virile and human
all about the boxing game.
Charles E. Van Loan, author and
associate editor of the Saturday
Evening Post, died in a Philadelphia
hospital March 2, 1919. He was born
In San Jose, CaL, in 1S76. Educated
in the public schools of his native
state and after a year passed in the
mercantile business, he devoted him
self entirely to newspaper and maga
zine work and short story writing.
His style Is distinctive, rich and
breezy and his sporting stories were
a popular feature of the' Saturday
Evening Post. He is remembered as the
author of 'Fore! "Old Man Curry
and Other Yarns of the Track," "Buck
Parvin and the Movies," "Score by In
nings" and also "Taking the Count.'
Bine Magic, by Edith Balllnger Price. The
Century Co.. New York City.
If it were the fashion nowadays to
crown an authoress for literary
achievement, it would be in order to
crown Edith Ballinger Price for
writing "Blue Magic." It is as elo
quent and moving as the famous "The
Secret Garden," by Mrs. Burnett,
author of "Little Lord Fauntleroy."
Tha two heroes of "Blue Magic" are
Fen, a little boy Invalid, and a young
man named Sidney R. Thornton, other
wise SIdderetlcus, who acts the part
of a blue DJIna, and manages to dis
appear at will. Thornton by his in
finite love and sympathy creates the
good mental Influence by which the
sick boy is mvle well. The story
dwells along the Nile and also near
Venice, and the people depicted are
American tourists.

Miss Mayo and her band of six
players from the Overseas Theater

not so much what plays she present

incidents the party noticed in meet

Hero we have in these 131 pages a
placid, smoothly flowing story of do
mestic life in Vermont, a condition
that Mrs. Deland understands so well.
The plot is a simple one: Tho wish
of Mrs. Mary Alder, wife of a coun
try clergyman, that her daughter
Alice, when she is old enough, should
go as a missionary to China and con
vert the Chinese from their heathen
ways.
As she grows up Alice is agreeable
to fulfill her mother's darling wish,
but suddenly a quarrymaster lover
looms up. What is she to do? Lover

told with . all Mrs. Deland's quiet
charm.
Civilization, by Dr. Georges Duhamel.
Tbe Century Co., Kt York City.
We have in our hands a famous
book, "Civilisation." It Is filled to
the brim, so to speak, with stories of
French soldiers In the late war. '
It is a book of flaming sketches,
short stories, silhouettes the chief
figures wounded French soldiers, the
author a surgeon for four years on an
automobile ambulance at the front.
It is testimony by way of literature
as to what the ordinary Frenchman
is; it is a survey of souls stripped
naked by the wild hands of war. It
is the story of Cousin, with both legs
off, and his boundless confidence. It
is the story of a keeper and account
ant of corpses who though he cannot
keep the count, loves them and all
their little individualities as if they
were living people. It is the story of
Rabot, who, being called a hero
laughs ntmseit into nysterics.
This book, in short, won the 1918
