One may judge a country by its books, its writers. And we are proud to present the new books listed below as representative of the output of Canada's oldest and largest publishing house. By Dr. Trevor H. Davies The Voice of the Spirit in Literature Dr. Davies is the successful pastor of the Metropolitan Methodist Church, Toronto' where he has used the best things of literature to appeal to a somewhat cosmopolitan congregation. He draws moral and spiritual lessons, for instance, in a most striking way from such too-little known gems as Francis Thompson's "The Hound of Heaven," Browning's "Pippa Passes," Ibsen's "Peer Gynt," and a score or more of others. The book has been taken up for publication in the United States as well as in Great Britain. By Dr. Herbert A. Bruce Politics and the Canadian Army Medical Corps Dr. Bruce, one of Canada's most eminent surgeons, has written what is practically a Phillipic as to the conduct of our Medical Service in England and making charges which seem to demand immediate investigation. By Bertrand W. Sinclair Burned Bridges This is fiction of a clean, breezy, hearty type, the story opening in our Canadian Northwest and being built around men with fire in their fists as well as in their hearts. This is representative Canadian fiction. By Byron H. Stauffer The Battle Nobody Saw Perhaps no Canadian writer presents religious themes more popularly than Mr. Stauffer who has a style of story-telling, a witty turn and a habit of epigrammatic phrase which make his articles as readable as fiction-and a great deal more digestible. Mr. Stauffer has the faculty of giving one a new and optimistic outlook on life, of presenting a happy slant to old ideas.
