Y-, $3.25) is a treasury of humor by Catholic writers, some sixty in all, . of whom one-fourth are converts. It. is. however, not Catholic humor that is here pre sented. There is no such thing. Hu mor is universal, and is, as the edi tor states in his excellent intro duction. “the state of being in fun.” This state of being, or play ful reaction, is the result of an outlook on life, an outlook cf sure ness, of certitude, based on a knowledge of the truth. One who knows and. is convinced of the truth regards all pretentions to it as humorous. With this,in mind we can readily see that among Cath olics there should be no dearth of humorists. But humor is not to be confused with laughter. The two do not al ways go together. In reading John Kieran, H I- Phillips, or W. W. Whalen you may laugh but this may be more “the physical effect produced in the rational being by what suddenly strikes him as be ing damned funny,” according ta Belloc’s definition of laughter. Joel Chandler Harris will product laughter while Jewel Miller’s hu mor will be more quieting in ef fect. Like an Anthology, this work presents many writers but very lit tle writing of each. It will, how-’ ever, facilitate an acquaintance with Catholic humorists of the past 25 years and encourage reading more of their works from other sources. “The Seven Golden Cities-**' by Mabel Farnum (Bruce Publishing Co., Milwaukee, $2.75) is another story of the treasures that so oc cupied the minds of the Spanish Conquistadors on their early ex plorations into the territories of the New World. Like the Fountain of Youth, the Seven Golden Cities existed only in the minds of In dians whose peculiar nature it was to make mountains out cf mole hills. The nebulous story of the Seven Cities inspired the adventu rous conquerors of Mexico, how ever. and with Coronado as their leader and Fray Marcos, the Fran ciscan Missionary as their spiritual guide and spiritual conqueror, the small army set out to seek what never really existed. The myth came clear to them only atter hardships and deaths. Coronado and Fray Marcos lost their repu tation, especially the latter on whose reports from previous trips into Indian territory credence re garding the Golden Cities was placed. The book reads like a nov el. lively and exciting, with Esta- yan the black and wily Moor arous ing suspicion and holding interest, while the non-existence of the Seven Cities is revealed only at the end- Another edition of the Science and Culture Series. Lovers of aphorisms and maxims will find interest and plcntv of ad vice in reading “The Art of World ly Wisdom” by/Balthasar Gracian (Macmillan Co., N. Y.. $1.50) trans lated from the Spanish by Joseph Jacobs. Gracian was a Spanish Jesuit 300 years ago. What he wrote then time has not lessened in truth. Like the human nature about which he wrote, the perti nence of his sayings is the same. There is an excellent introduction dealing with Gracian, the times in which ha lived and the influences then extant. Though Gracian is much quoted and his works have been published many times in Eu rope, this is the first American edi tion -of- his writings. The International C a t h o 1 i < Truth Society of Brooklyn, N. Y offers the adult Catholic four in teresting pamphlets. “Artificia Birth Control” by Robert E. Lu cey, D. D.. with emphasis on thi effects of control on society; “Mix ed Marriages,” by Rev. G. Bamp field, showing why the Churcl does not like them and giving th< Scriptures as her basis for oppo sition. And in the Adult Educatioi Series, Fr. Schmiedeler, O. S. a Ph- D., has two valuable pan* phlets, one on “Parenthood,” it profession, success and proper at titude to be had towards children the other on “Childhood Religion,’ in which are given some helpftt advice on understanding the abilt ties of children, their intellectua 1 development and steps to be take* in grounding them strongly k their religion.
