["Eliza for Common" by O

Douglas.]

With the background of a small Scottish parlah, and a minister's daughter thrown in the bargain, this makes good reading. Our sym- pathies are with the girl from the start, who resents the narrow mind- ed atmosphere in which she is com- pelled to live. That she should ever travel far away from the village, or smoke a cigarette, or shingle hor hair, or call someone an "old bean" was certainly not expected. She does, however, escape from her en- vironment and lives her own life, The big surprise, rightly, comes at the end, and is quite unexpected. This story should be well received, especially by the fairer sex, those who have cast off the mouldy Vic- torian shackles and have, since, the war years, come into their own, with healthy independence.

The increased number of divorces and unhappy marriages on the old system seem to imply that an irrevocable marriage after a short engagement is not "altogether wise: that a tempor ary marriage union (provided it is not complicated by the arrival of children) might be a This sounder arrangement, might, and would in most cases, lead to a more happy permanent marriage.

To speak so fully about the ways in which one is led to nocept Chris- tianity, and the necessity of faith without once mentioning the work of the Holy Spirit is a sad lack which runs on to the end of the book, and which the Reviewer can- not but deplore. The Author shews that Christianity is both reasonable and desirable and yet one lays down the book with a feeling that! Christianity is not necessarily ésential, nor that Eternal issues are involved. Such lack of em• phasis on all important points forces one to that conclusion and h which we trust may be remedied when the Author takes up his per again.
