LITERARY NOTICES.

By Editor

"Songs in the Night," by Helen Maud Merrill-Phelps.

This is a collection of twenty-five original poems, beautifully printed and beautifully bound in strong ornamental cover paper, with water color and illuminated design on the cover of gilt cross and lilies of the valley, with the inscription in gold, "In the beauty of the lilies." It is nicely illustrated by photogravures from the masters of Biblical painting. The poems are chaste, elevating, helpful. Here is a stanza we take almost at random from a poem entitled, "The Unspeakable Riches of God."

" 'Tis the mantle of love that envelops the soul, It is love's power alone Gives supremest control; It is faith never failing from friend unto friend, It is Christ in the heart, It is 'world without end.' "

The price is $1.50 for the water-color cover. Address the author, Helen Maud Merrill-Phelps, 270 Lincoln Ave., San Diego, Cal.

"The Double Doctrine of the Church of Rome." By Baroness Von Zedtwitz. Fleming H. Revell Company, Chicago, Ill.

This beautifully printed, neatly bound book of 64 pages describes in language free from passion, animosity, and prejudice why the author severed her connection with the Church of Rome and renounced its doctrines. Her action was not one of impulse, but settled conviction after years of study. She says: "My intimate connection with the Catholic Clergy, but especially with the hierarchy, both in America and Europe, has brought me into near touch with not only the secret inner workings of the Roman Church, but also with the doctrines by which it is governed." So she writes understandingly. It is a clear setting forth of what the title calls for.

"Illogical Geology; the Weakest Point in the Evolution Theory." By George McCready Price, author of "Outlines of Modern Science and Modern Christianity." 96 large pages, pamphlet form, price 25 cents. The Modern Heretic Company, 257 South Hill Street, Los Angeles, Cal.

This pamphlet is written for a purpose by a man who has convictions born of loyalty to his highest light and bred in earnest study. While it deals with scientific questions by scientific methods, it is written for the earnest student as well. By the study the author has found what to him seems "the phenomenal weakness of the geological argument," and he gives us the result of this study in the present work. Every minister of the Gospel ought to read the work. Students of science ought to read. Order as above.
