A group of twenty-two papers that have grown out of the author’s life

whose municipal government, he says, “is one of the most complex,

“Mainly character studies presented with the vivacity and human interest
of the short story. Mr. Smith has a wonderful gift for dramatization.
Such an incident as arriving forty minutes late at a lecture hall in the
west, which would be a mere nothing in the hands of a man less keenly
observant of character and less vivacious in presenting situations,
becomes a capital piece of narrative, full of humor, with neat little
etched portraits of half a dozen country people of various kinds, and
especially of the lecturer himself. ‘The man in the high water boots’ is
another example of Mr. Smith’s extraordinary gift of portraiture. It is
an outline drawing of an artist executed in a spirit of royal good
fellowship and also of keen discernment of artistic values.”—Outlook.

A story of the Adirondacks in which a New York banker, worn out with
artificial society and alarmed over the peril of inconstancy threatening
his wife, prepares a wilderness habitation as sumptuous as money and
skill can make it, and, with authority that precludes opposition, sets
down in the midst of it a rebellious wife and a delightful daughter. The

his greatness unmixed with personal ambition; his abiding faith in
himself, in his tried friends, in his comrades in arms, and in his God.”

“In this book the author separates the stories from the mass of often
unsuitable material in which they lie; he edits the old text with care,
and he presents vivid, dramatic narratives of the great personalities of
Israel.” H: F. Cope.
