WHEREON TO STAND, by John
Gilland Brunini, (Harper), $3.00.
Extensive and very complete,
yet thoroughly interesting and ap
pealing is this new explanation of
Catholic doctrines, written by a
layman for inquiring mintls. Cath
olic or interested non-Catlwlic
alike will find it* helpful and en
lightening; and the detailed index
at the back will make it an inval
uable reference book for any li
brary.
Perhaps this is quibbling: but
somehow we felt the occasional
bits of humor fell flat. The smooth
serious prose has an almost poetic
quality, and we much prefer to en
vision the author as speaking in
tensely to a small group of listen
ing friends, than as t he after-din
ner speaker of which these now
and-then "funny stories” remind
us.
We enjoyed every sentence A
“Whereon to Stand” although it's a
lengthy book. And we recommend
it most heartily for everyone who
wants to know more about I he
teachings of the Church.
Our favorite chapters are “Ser
vant of the Servants of God” (for
instruction on a little-known sub
ject); and “At the Threshold” and
“How Fares the Ideal” (for in
spiration.)
ROAD TO OLIVET, by Edward
Murphy. (Bruce), $2.50.
Reviewed by Margaret Hattaway
“Road from OliveP’ is a novel
... ix story that could have been
true. Father Murphy, as he did in
"The Scarlet Lily,” merely fills in
the gaps which t he Bible and his
tory books leave us to wonder
about, in the life of Mary Magda
lene. “Road From Olivet” begins
where Father Murphy’s first splen
did novel left off, and takes Mary
Magdalene on through the rest of
her life, following the Crucifxion
of Our Lord.
The author’s imagination seems
to have no bounds. This is- a love
story, truly as heart-warming- as
we ever read, ft shows Mary of
Magdala after he)' conversion from
“a woman of the streets’ ’to a most
ardent follower of Christ.”
She won many, many souls to
His keeping, from the highest
Roman officials down to the low
liest galley slaves. Her driving de
sire was the spread of "The King
dom.”
However, the one she most
wanted to help, the man she loved,
was the hardest to win. He was
Tullus, an ex-Roman patriot, who
went from one loyalty to the other.
When reading of his fight thSt
Caesar arranged with a hungry
panther, the reader is unable to lay
the book aside. Mary Magdalene’s
many narrow escapes from death
and temptation keep you breath
less; and there is inspiration too
for the reader to imitate Mary’s
ardent efforts to teach of “The
Kingdom” to everyone whose path
he crosses.
