REVIEW BY DR. STOCK. Unexplored New Guinea." Bv W. H. Beaver, F.R.G.3., etc. With an Introduction by A. -0; Iladdo-n, Sc. D., F.R.S., etc. (Seeley Service and Co. 25s. net.) NEW G-UT-NE A claims to be the largest island in the world. Borneo might dÍs- that claim, and, in fact, does so, for we find in one Gazetteer each of the two called the largest. But there'is no doubt that Borneo, wth its compact rotundity, does fail to present an area in square miles equal to that enclosed by the long and straggling coast line of New Guinea. The title of the volume before us suggests a more extensive field of travel and adventure than the book it- self describes. The huge western half of the great island, which belongs to Hol- land, is still to a large extent "unex- plored," while the author's extreme west means the west end of British ter- ritory; that is, of the eastern part of the island. But although we are in these pages confined to a comparatively small area, that area is itself vast enough, and even within it there is plenty of room for the explorations of future pioneers. For New Guinea, as a. whole, is more than three times the size of Great Britain. The author, Mr. Wilfred Beaver, is in- troduced to us in a foreword by Dr. A. 0. Haddon, F.K.S., who tells us that he w.as for some years Resident Magis- trate of the Western Division of British New Guinea. (The publishers' cover says twenty-seven years, but as Mr. Beaver .was only born in 1882, and en- tered the Government service in 1905, this is clearly a mistake.) He subse- quently joined the Australian contingent for the front, and was killed at Passchen- dale in 1917. Dr. Haddon warmly testi- fies to his ability and success as a magisr trate over the wild Papuans; and his death was evidently a real loss both to the administration and to ethnological and anthropological science. New Guinea, or Papua, has been one of the most romantic of modern mission fields. James Chalmers, the famous L.M.S. missionary, did a noble work there, and eventually fell a victim to Fapuar; cannibalism. Native Polynesian' and M-etanesian teachers have laboured and suffered there too. Sir William Mac- gregor, the Governor in after years, said, They died splendidly and silently at their posts." The Anglican, Mission is worked by the Australian Board oi Mis- sions, and, aroused great interest among our fellow-Churchmen in the Commonwealth. Its success was strik- ingly illustrated when in 1905, for the first time, a Papuan Christian appeared at the General Synod of the Australian Church. When in 1907 Bishop Mont- gomery planned his great book, Mankind and the Church, as an attempt to esti- mate the contribution of great races to the fulness of the Church of God," one of the seven bishops in different parts of the world who supplied seven of the chapters was Dr. Stone-Wigg, of New Guinea; and he declared, on the strength of several years' experience among the Papuans, that they as Christians could make a real contribution to that ful- ness" by (1) their consciousness of the unseen" (2) their "simplicity of faith and life"; (3) their emphasis on "the corporate spirit of the, Church." We add this reference to the New Guinea Missions because Mr. Beaver makes no allusion to them in his book, but his ac- counts of Papuan manners and customs, of Papuan character and environment, are thoroughly interesting. The illus- trations are excellent; but although there are a few rketch maps of districts, a general map, however imperfect, of New Guinea as a whole, would be a welcome addition.
THE TRINITY. ■■■—'

THE TRINITY. ■■ — MR. MCDOWAI-L is -,a fearless and original thinker. He believes in evolu- tion—or the development from the single to the complex—the realisation of an end in time that reaches forward to a higher end in eternity. His former works on Evolution and the Need of an A t-onemeift, and Evolution and Spiritual Life, pro- ride an introduction to his new volume, Evolution and the Doctrine of the Trinity (Cambridge .University Press. 8s. 6d. net). It is not easy reading. This is not the author's fault, far he is gifted: with the power of making hard thinking as clear as his subject permits. He believes that the, term personality connotes-a. trinity, of which will, emotion and free- dom are the three fundamentals. Each of these involves the others, and thereby fellowship is rendered possible. By hold- ing fast to this central thought he arrives at the. doc trine of the Trinity. God wills to create, wills to love, and is purely self- determined. The book contains a frank and able discussion off the pscych-ology of Freud that is now attracting much attention, and we believe he has success- fully overthrown the materialism of which Freud is a champion. We specially com- mend his chapter on immortality, which is based on the conception it is because ,manis like God, not because he is unlike, that his immortality is certain." Tihis .is a suggestive line of thought that is free from the defect of. many of the popular [arguments for the immortality off man. Decidedly <a book to be read—-not | skimmed. It repays study and leaves a distinct impression on the reader's mind.

-o-- CHRIST AND THE KINGDOM' Christ and the Kingdom of God" By Professor S, H. Hooke (Student Christian Movement, 3a, Russell-square. London. 4s. 6d. net.) THIS is a little book of only 137 pages in all, yet it is fuller of thought and matter than perhaps any modern book of its size known to us. We can readily believe the author's statement in the i ore word that it is the outcome of several years of careful study. It is confined almost entirely to the ,attempt to. trace out in the life of Christ the workings of the principles of the Kingdom of God. More especially does it attempt to set forth Christ as man, subjected to the conditions of His time, and exhibiting in His life the reality of the yoke of the Kingdom of God, learning obedience by the things which Ho. suffered.' This explains the comparative absence of reference to the Deity of our Lord, which to many of us makes the picture of Tiis human life defective. A chapter dealing very briefly with God in Christ would have been acceptable to most readers. The book ia intended for leaders of Study Circles particularly, and the few ques- tions. given at the beginning of each chapter are very helpful and provoca- tive of thought. It was originally in- tended for a 24 weeks' course." The first division in six short chapters deals with Jewish ideas in the time of Christ concerning the Kingdom of God (very brief; nor is the Appendix completely satisfactory, since most of the quotations are from. Apocryphal books composed after the beginning of our Christian era), the childhood and baptism of Christ, and His three temptations in the wilderness. The second division in three chapters treats of the first stage in His ministry and the first crisis. The writer thinks that our Lord expected e Messianic Kingdom to have been set up before His disciples returned, from their first mission. His "disappointment overflows in bitter prophetic words of denunciation and woe" (p. 54). The words "I was watching Satan as lightning falling from heaven" (Luke x. 18-20), are ex- plained thus In some flash of summer lightning, it- migilt be, His yearning for the coming of the Kingdom. had traced the fall of Satan from j heaven" (p .54). This is perhaps the most unworthy passage in the whole book, but it marks, to our mind, a defect which in some measure prevents the i complete success of the author's method of exegesis. The third division deals with the second stage in the ministry, in six chapters. In a graphic passage the writer depicts the nianner in which, in his view, St. Peter's personal experi-, ence of Christ led him to call Him Son of the Living God," and endeavours to estimate the value to be attached to the words in that disciple's mind (pp. 73-74). The Transfiguration is treated as a spiritual experience of Christ" (ch. xiv.). Tliis is hardly satisfactory. The fourth division contains eight chapters which, though not without charm, do not seem to us to show at all adequately our Lord's certainty of His own Resur- rection, though they depict most feel- ingly and touchingly His terrible mental sufferings at the end, We shall welcome the- book on Christ's Resurrection which the writer promises us (p. 136), in order to see how he completes the account of the victory of the cross." .W. H. CLAIR TisDALL.

GARDEN OF EDEN. — + From the G:arAen of Eden to,&e Crossing J<>rda.n." By Six W. Willcoeks, K.C.M.G. IE. snui F. N. Spoa. 5s. 4 IT is refreshing AT times to tern to the writings of jmen wlio have studied Biblical and kindred subjects from a dif- ferent point of view from that of pro- fessional theologians. Sir W. Willeocks, the famous engineer, has spent many years in the East, and has studied on the spot, both in Egypt and Mesopo- tamia everything in the Bible which has to do with irrigation and irrigated countries. Being well acquainted with Arabic, he has been able to understand the modes of expression of the people of Bible lands, which have remained almost unchanged. for thousands of .years. The book before us consists of five lectures given in Cairo and in London, And deals, as the title indicates, with the early events of Bible history.' Some of the chapmts- C The Garden of Eden and Noah's Flood," The Years of Famine in Joseph's Time," "The Ten Plagues, and the Passage of the Red Sea "-indicate the, most important subjects. These have been, approached from a wholly novel &-nd at the same time a very important point' of view. Many points are shown in a fresh light; new and suggestive interpretations and explanations are put forward. The two sabjects which will interest the majority of readers most are those of "Tha Deltigte" and The Ten Plagues." As Professor Say says in his preface, these are treated with "ti combination of robast common sense and expert, knowledge. Four plates add greatly |o the clarity of tha teat, and will be much valued.

Are You a Blond ? The secret or making people like you < ") I R ■ greatest asset any man can possibly I have ia the faculty for making people like him. IT is even more important than ability. -The secret of making people like I you lies in your ability to unders-taii-D the emotional and mental characteristics of the people you meet. Did you know that a blond HAS an entirely different temperament from .a, brunet?—-tha.t to get along with a blond type you must act entirely differently from the way in wihich you would act to get along with a brunet? When you really know the diiference BETWEEN blonds and brunots, the difference in their characters, temperaments, a'bilities, and pecu- liar traits, you will save your&elf many 4 mistake—and you will incidentally leam much you never knew before a>bout yourself. Paul Gra.ha.7n was a blond, an.D not until lie learned that there waa all the difference in the wo.rld between the characteristics of a blond and those of a brunet did he discover the secret of making people like him. Paul had been KEEPING books for yeans for a, large corporation which had branches all over tine country. It was generally thought by his associates that he would never rise above that job. He ha-d a, tremendous ability with figu-res-could wind them around his little fill er-but he had not THE ability to mix with big men; did not know how to make people like him. Then one day the irnrtossible happened. Paul G-raiiam became popular. Business men of importance who had for- merly given liirn only the parsing nod of acquaintanceship suddenly showed a desi-r-O for his friendship. People—even strangers— -actually went out of their way to do tiiinga for him. Even he was astounded at THIS new power over men and women. Not only could he get them to do what HE wanted them to do. but they actually anticipated his wishes and seemed eager to please him. And all this came to him simply becaus-e h-e learned THE secret of making people like him. You, too, can have the power of making PEOPL6 like you. For by the SAME method used by Paul Graham, you can, at A glanc-e, tell the characteristics "of any man, -woman, or child—tell instantly their likes and dislikes, and you can make people like you. Here ia how it is done Everyone you know can be placed in one or two general types—blond or brunet. There is as big a difference between the mental and emotional characteristics of a blond and those of a brunet as there is between night and day. You persuade a blond in one way-a brunet in another. Blonds enjoy one phase of life— branets another. Blonds make good in one kind of A job-brunets in one entirely different. To know these- differences scientifically is the first step in judging men and women; in getting on well with them; in mastering their minds; in making them like you; in winning their respect, admiration, love and friendship. And when you have learned these difEe-nences —when you can tell at a glance just what to ■do and say to 1 rtiake any man orWOIIlan like yo-u-your success in life is assuLred For example, there's the case of a large manufacturing concern. Trouble sprung up the factories. The men talked strike. Things looked ugly. Harry Wins-low wa,s sent to straighten it out. On the eve of a genera.1- walk-out he pacified the men- aild, headed off THE strike. Another case, entirely different, is that of Henry Peters. Because of his ability to make people like him—his facility for "getting under the skin -and making people think HI3 way, he was given the position of Assistant ta the President of a large firm. Two other men, both well liked by their fellow-employees, had each expected to get the joib. So when the outside man, Peters, came in, he was looked upon by everyone as an interloper, and was openly disliked by every ofiber person in the office. Peters was handicapped in every way. But. in spite of that, in three weeks he had MA-DA fast friends of everyone'in the house, and had T even won over the two men who had been. most bitter against him. The whole secret is that he could tell in 1m instant how to appeal to any man and. make- himself well liked. You realise, of course, that just knowing iJhe difference between a blond and a brunet could not accomplish all these wonderful things. There a-re other things to be taken into account. But here is the whole secret. You know that everyone does not think alike. What one likes another dislikes. And what offends one pleases another. Well, thera is your cue. You can make an instant "hit" with anyone, if you say the things they want you to say and act in the way they want you to act. Do this and they will surely like you and believe in you and will go miles out of their way to please you. You can do this easily by knowing c,-ita.in simple signs. In addition to the difference ;n complexion,, every man, woman, and child has written on them signs as distinct as though they were in letters a foot higi, which SHOW3 you from one quick glance exactly what to say and to do to plea-se them—to get- them to believe—to think as you think—to do exactl.. what you want them to do. In knowing these simple signs is the whole secret of getting what you want out of LIFE—of making friends of business and social advan- tage. Every great leader us as this method. That is why lie is a leader. Use it yourself, and you will Quickly become a leader—nothing can stop you.
