WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1923 fo N THE READING LAMP (Continued from page 16) vania Dutch characters "Tillie, the Mennonite Maid" and "Erstwhile Su- san," swaps the fairly skillful and pleasantly ironical pen she used as a story". teller for one of these new- fangled typewriters used by propa- gandist, and proceeds to beat it to death. The result is not altogether happy. The thesis of the book is probably sound/ Christianity, the author be- lieves, is a good idea, and it is a pity someone does not take it up. The story, which is pretty obviously de- signed for later use as a play, shows a few weeks in the lives of Robert Watts, a reverend who can compro- mise his Christian ideals to the ad-, vantage of his "capitalistic" vestry, and of Clement Calloway, who can't. | Rev. Watts is promoted from Leiters- | ville, Pa., to a churchon Fifth Avenue. | Rev. Calloway leaves town just ahead | of the tar and feather squad of the Patriotic Legion. The book is well calculated to challenge the reader's notions on reli- gion, and if it does that its.lack of artistry is perhaps pardonable. From Doctor Fosdick I have just finished reading Professor Pratt's book, "Matter and Spirit." I wish that it could be put into the hands of all ministers and laymen who have been disturbed by the modern phycho- logical endeavor to dispose of the human soul. Mr. Keable in a New Role "PERADVENTURE" By Robert Keable Publisher: G. P. Putnam's Sons $2.00 Probably no abstract subject has so many labyrinths in variety as Religion. Mr. Keable has striven with an honesty of purpose and a con- tinuity of sequential reastion, to show an interesting working-out of a re- ligious conception in the mind of one individual. Paul Kestern, a mere youth' in the opening pages, it an earnest open air Evangalist, given generously to saving souls under lamp-posts in the outskirts of ILon- don. This tradition lies deep in his family and the one life expected of him is that of rescuing sinners .for eternal salvation. Later, his life broadening into new channels of thought at the University, Young Kestern scandalizes his father by writing a very successful play of a distinctly uplifting moral fibre. This success greatly estranges him from his family. Later through a passion- ate love of beauty, the boy becomes strongly drawn to the Catholic Church, but after a great deal of dis- cussion, analysis and other influences best left for the reader to discover, he is at last free from inspired anew with a religion that seeks no creed to express it, but that asks the whole gift of life at its altar. God is al- lowed to keep his own great mys- teries still veiled. Complexities of human love flow in and out among the pages to give a little warmth to what might otherwise be too dis- cursive a book to be called a novel. Copyright 1923, Howard H. Seward.

Nothing is left undone to keep intact its original goodness and purity. Our selected dairy cows and farms are inspected frequently to secure purity at the source. Immediately after it is taken from the cow BOWMAN"S MILK is cooled and put into air- tight, sterlized cans. Next, it is taken to our nearby country bottling station where it is perfectly pasteurized, coole 4 poured into sterilized bottles and sealed--all by machinery, without the touch of hands. Then it is surrounded with pure ice, packed into special refrigerator cars and swiftly brought to Evanston. : Here, clean, white wagons are waiting to bring it to your door.
