BOOK REVIEWS
Maria Monk, author of the
“A w f u 1 Disclosures,” resulting
during the latter part of the last
century in a wave of anti-Cath
olicism, is all but forgotten, and
her book regarded as just another
written for the sake of revenue
and fame. The story, AND DOWN
THE DAYS, by John Louis Bonn
(Macmillan Co., N. Y., $2.50) is
about one of her daughters, Eliza
beth St. John, who inherited her
mother's sense of scheming and
her hatred for Catholics, but who
ended her life by living in that
religion.
This dramatic story is true.
Even original names are used. It
is based on the autobiography of
the widojved Mrs. Eckel, the
former Elizabeth, and'on informa
tion gathered from her acquaint
ances.
The title is taken from words
contained in Francis Thompson’s
“The Hound of Heaven,” and the
author has made the theme of the
poem predominant in the story.
Whether in her home in Connecti
cut, in New York or Paris; wheth
er in the court of Louis Napoleon
II, in her own apartment, or with
her elite friends, Elizabeth was
constantly hounded, try as hard
as she might to forget and deny
God, or to hide her real identity
on the course of her rise in social
prestige in Paris circles. Money
and power were her loves. But
Genevieve, her daughter, and La-
ferriere, a Parisian, conquered
her heart and broufht her to God.
This is a penetrating story of a
wily woman, who at one time pos
sessed poverty, then a spirit of
reckless cunning, money and a
not too favorable name. But she
had a conscience, and in spite of
her efforts to kill it, it was kept
alive and houded down of her life
until the ‘Hound of Heaven” fin
ally conquered.
A WOMAN WRAPPED IN SI
LENCE, by John W. Lynch, (Mac
millan Co., N. Y., $2.00) is a nar
rative poem of the greatest woman
in all history, the Mother of Christ.
The story of her life is taken up
early in the year of the birth of
Christ and ends after the close of
His life on earth. The verses arc
resonant with deep, beautiful
thought. No fanciful thinking or
legendary colorings were allowed
in them. The poet adheres to fact.
The beauty in the thought comes
from its truth. He puts himself
into every word and fills every
line with happy expressions and
meaningful phrases that could
have resulted only from long
meditation.
As we read this beautiful story
and become poetically familiar
with the Mother of Our Redeemer,
our love for this Immaculate per
sonality increases.
"Our generation finds it
hard to think
Of her as one of us . . . .”
Twenty centuries of grateful
love have made that so. But this
poem tells us truthfully, and by
it wc realize more fully that she
suffered as we suffer, she loved
as we loved, she was flesh and
blood even as we are flesh and
blood. But in one thing she was
not like us — she was Immacu
late, perfect.
Next to the Bible and The Ques
tion Box, a book that should be in
every Catholic home is THE
MASS, by Rev. Joseph A. Dunney,
(Macmillan Co., SI.25). Cardinal
Newman wrote: “To me nothing
is so consoling, so piercing, so
thrilling, so overcoming, as the
Mass, said as it is among us. I
could attend Masses forever and
not be tired, ft is not a mere form
of words — it is a great action
the greatest action that can be on
earth.”
This Mass that inspired New
man has also been the source of
inspiration that brought fame to
poets, writers, and musicians for
19 centuries. Many others who
learned to love it are now saints.
Its greatness will remain to the
end of time.
To arrive at a thorough under
standing of the Mass is hardly
possible without a study of the
meaning of the prayers recited,
the movements and actions per-

formed during the ceremony.
Many of these prayers, actions
and ornaments date back to days
even before Christ. Many have
been added on through the cen
turies. This book is an excellent
study of each part of the Mass
and its significance. In it we are
carried back to Apostolic days,
to the days of the Catacombs,
wheix-many of the symbols of the
Mass originated. The book is also
devotional in explaining how best
to attend this service to obtain its
full benefits. Its worth is also in
part signified by the fact that
since 1924 it has gone through
eight editions.
