PERRYMAN GO. 36 Peachtree Street, ATLANTA, GA. 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.
