It would be unfair to the potential audience of Nipht Over Pitch's Pond to reveal Walter Drake's ul- timate solution of tbe mystery sur- rounding julius' deatb accident, C suicide, or criminal negligence bor- a dering on murder. It is not, however,' h unfair to complain of Mrs. Jarrett a, that she has, ini the resolution of that a, mystery, been unfair to ber audience t( by suppressing one item of consider- d able' importance-an item that con- s cerns Eloise Denîing, that cornes as ,a distinct sbock, bewilderi.ng in its d sudden appearance.t CHILDREN's BoOKS for CHIRISTMAS "Brage Bands and Fire nie-$.

RESIGNS FROM PULPIT W. R. Inge, who bas been Dean ýof St. Paul's since 1911, intends to re- sign in the summer of next year, according to tbe Manchester Guard- ian. That paper says: "He is an au- bhority on the Mystics.' His pulpit and platform utterances and essays have cballenge.d attention and often .roused controversv by their origin- ality, out.spoken criticismn of modern tendencies and vigorouslY expressed [istrust of democracy. Ik tlielogy e occupies an advanced liberal po- ition. He is stated to be a descen- dant of King Iýdward 111 in the twïenty- first generation.

Lo.w Country, pre- gi Si of Prosclyte. Altbougb the author was boni in England and now lives in London, she spent .many years of bier childbood in our western states. She has used hier knowledge, of the -West- ern country and bas combined it With. the history of the, Mormon people. She bas.; succeeded iii.making a story, flot onily true toà the time of which she wrîtes, but one wbich lives for us. *Joseph Hewett, a Mormon 'mis,- sionary preacbing in Englani>d, -:con- verts to bis. faith Zillab Purdy and bier parents. Witb, soi-de misgiving "Zillab's. parents allow, ler to, marry joseph., who, truc to the plan of. the . Mormon preacbers, .goes, about with-, out 4lpurse or scrip like the Distiples *of old." In course of timne Joseph is caldback 'to Zion, wbich is, of course, Sait Lake -City. He and. Zil- lah and, 'their'baby start on. the long journey in February, 1856. The "Perpetual Emigration Fund" of the Mormon church is responsible for getti'ig together a group of people who start on tbe long wày to Utah. Joseph is to be a leader in one group of 500 saints of the 'faitb. After the, railway journey to Iowva, tbe people walk the rest of.the way, pushi.ng or p .ulling their. belongings' in hand carts. The endiless waàlk with its cold, hunger, fatigue and fear of hostile Indians is borne in utter rni'isery. Niany -of the people die before, the rescue.party from Zion reaches tbem. . After Zillahi and Josepb are finally establislied in Sait Lake City, they .muist face the doctrine of plural mar- niage sanctified by. tbe chaweh. They have to -leave their home to st*art a new colony, iwbere one of their. chul- dren is killed by an Indian. Hard- ships unbearable and even the last bitter trials do not wreck their love .for eacb otbier. Tbe story is a simple one, depend- ing, a 1most entirely u.pon, its back-:. ground to make, it interesting and un- usual. Without doubt it is a true picture of a part in tbe lîves of a people who seem . to us queer and fanatical. Anna K..
