These burdens, according to the author, were merely secondary considerations, the main reason, for the breaking away being the growing spirit of nationalism among the early set tlers.

And gieu ( I subscribe to his belief .Mr. Van Icon's new book certainly does throw a great deal of light on tho Holy Scriptures, As the name of the work ex- plr«'n8, the book attempts tp be nothing more thin a simple, nar rative account of the Bible, carried out on a chionological basts of tho happenings so fas as it Is possi ble. The author makes no attempt to explain anw of the mysteries at tached to the Bible, neither docs he try to over-state. over-esVmate, cr discount any of the stories con tained in the Book. He simply fells the story, starting with Gene sis and going through Revelations The first chapter of the book? however, goes a little to the aide and around Genesis—he tells something about who the Jews were, their customs, etc., and then proceeds with the story of the Bible itself. r. Van Loon, it will be remem bered; won for himself a grea deal of success and praise w.'th his “Story of .Mankind,” which to in a way similar to H. O.
