BOOK REVIEWS
From an Unbiased Viewpoint.
By A. E. RAM SA UR.
An attractive booklet has just been issued from the American Baptist
Publication Society, 1 I Your Work and Mine,” being a sermon by Dr. W. W.
Landrum, Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta, from the text
“To every man his work”—(Mark 13: 34).
The sermon is a splendid discussion of the duties of Christians and
church members. To quote a passage in this connection:
“Every disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ, then, old or young, male or
female, is called on to do a certain work for Him. That work lasts from the
hour of conversion to the home going at sunset through death. Every faculty
and power of body, mind and spirit, all our means and all our opportunities
are a solemn trust. Whoever fails to use them is a betrayer of that trust.
To be a spiritual idler, it has been well said, ‘is a fault, to be indifferent to
idleness is a sin, to glory in idleness is a crime.’
No disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ is excused from work. The pastor
of every church should be an example of tense and tireless activity. It was
a witty saying of the late Rev. Moses D. Hodge that a modern city pastor,
who meets the requirements set for him by the public at large, must write
more letters than a business man, pay more visits than a physician, make
more speeches than a lawyer, direct more enterprizes than a millionaire,
teach more children than a school principal, compose more manuscript than
an editor and kiss more babies than a visiting grandmother. The pastor, if
conscientious, is and ought to be the busiest man in the community with
scarcely time for food or rest.”
No mere review of the sermon can give an adequate idea of the strength
and charm it presents as a whole. In the first place, it deals with the most
vital issue involved in the life of the church, and the arguments are so
attractively arranged that the part quoted only serves to bring a realization
of what one loses in not reading all. We venture to quote the folloiwng given
under the heading “No exchange of work”:
“Pastors fail who try to do other members’ duty. I know it by
experience. The first church I ever served had seven members, six women
and one man, and it would have been stronger without that one man. I was
sexton and swept out the schoolhouse in which we worshipped, I rang the
bell, and lit the lamps for evening service. And that church had a poor
sexton. I was chorister and led the music, and that church had an inferior
leader of song. I was deacon and took up the collection and that church
had a poor deacon, who gave nearly all the money himself. I was pastor
and visited all the members who did next to no visiting among themselves,
and the church had a poor pastor. I was preacher and when I had performed
the duties of sexton, chorister, and deacon, there was very little left in me
and the preaching was thin and lifeless. I was president and presided at
church meetings. The one male member never attended business meetings,
and the women could not speak in such gatherings, so I made all the motions
and seconded them and passed them and announced them carried. And
naturally the church had a poor presiding officer. I served that church of
seven members just two months and those two months seemed a pocket
edition of eternity.”
The “Scholar’s Daughter,” by Beatrice Harraden. (Dodd, Mead and
Company, $1.25).
The “Scholar’s Daughter” is just such a book as you would expect
from the name, and is unusually attractive as to binding, illustrations and
decorations. The Scholar himself is given over, body and entire time to the
preparation of a dictionary, the other characters being his secretaries, a
channing daughter, an attractive young man and finally the Scholar’s
wife from whom he has been separated for a number of years, and to whom
he is reconciled and reunited in the last chapter of the book. (The chapter,
by the way, isn’t much longer than that last sentence, but is much clearer.)
There is enough youth and romance worked into the book to relieve us
in part, from the book-wormish dulness which threatens at times to over
come us. The book is clean and fairly easy reading. Any one who has read
“Ships that Pass in the Night,” the book by this author which had such a
remarkable sale a few years ago, can easily find it in their hearts to forgive
any little shortcomings in this book. Anything would be better than that.
It ill becomes us now to speak disparagingly of a book upon which
the Great American Public has set the seal of its approval, but what on
earth the G. A. P. found in that book to like, we have been unable to decide.
We have only one theory. Its popularity must have come from the name.
Come to think of it, “Ships that Pass in the Night” has an attractiveness
and a touch of mystery and romance about it that appeals to us. There’s a
lot in a name, notwithstanding the fact that a late distinguished poet went
on record to the contrary touching the rose. Your grocer will tell you that
even flour depends largely upon its name for its sale and it is possible that
some day the name of the rose will be changed to something better and the
flower will become more popular than now, notwithstanding its thorns.
We are a little late in discussing “Ships that Pass in the Night,” and
it is not in the least relevant to the review now brewing, but my goodness—
we have worried so trying to discover what made it sell so rapidly, that
we just can’t keep quiet about it.
