Mr. Churchill is acknowledged to be America's leading novelist. No
other author has ever gained and held so large a following as Mr.
Churchill. This new book is the most mature and vital of all his
work and the one in which Mr. Churchill has achieved greatest
originality. It is a powerful study of the modern tendencies in
religion and their new relations to the modern life. It sets forth
in most masterly delineation the personal history of a young
clergyman, and the transformation of his views and attitudes toward
life. It is a book that will provoke much discussion and
admiration, dealing, as it does, with the more delicate phases of
life to-day and of conditions vital to the national welfare.
One Woman's Life
By ROBERT HERRICK
Author of "Together," "The Healer," etc.
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.35 net_
The women characters of Robert Herrick's books have always been
peculiarly significant. Sometimes storms of protest have centred
around them and the ideas of womankind which the author has
advanced through them. But the penetration and keenness of the
analyses and, sentiment aside, the truth of the pictures, and the
skill with which they have been drawn, have never been denied. The
fact that in this new book Mr. Herrick gives his whole attention to
the story of a woman is, therefore, an unusually interesting
announcement. Milly Ridge is as striking and convincing a creation
as has ever come from his pen, and in her struggle for social
supremacy Mr. Herrick has a theme distinctly modern and admirably
well suited to his powers.

In "Concert Pitch" Frank Danby has again written a love story of
unflagging interest, full of thrilling passages and rich in the
romance of real life. The book is crowded with types etched in with
masterly fidelity of vision and sureness of touch, with feminine
subtlety as well as virile audacity. Frank Danby's skill in making
vividly real the people and conditions of London has never been
shown to a better advantage than in her new novel.
