BOOKS FOR ERSKINE BOYS. t (Associate Reformed Presbyterian.) Erskine College takes pride in everything that shows the worthy at- j tainment of her sons, and she hasj much reason to be proud of their at tainments in many fields?the min-^ istry, teaching, business, law, medi-; fine, state?m?.rrhip, and general use-| fulness in family, in church, and in| State. Somewhat in the language of I Dr. Johnson on another subject, we might say that Erskine's sons have left scarcely any field of usefulness j untouched, and that they have touched nothing that' they did not adorn. In this short article I wish to call j attention to some recent books by, Erskine men, all of them showing in. a high degree scholarship, research,: or skill, of some kind. I take them, up in the order in which they appear-, ed, and I speak mainly of those writ-j ten by recent graduates. I am not! forgetting the excellent works of Dr.j Morris on Home Missions and other won of nn O Q 1*110 T np wurivs uy vuici melt uv mi* r ~ , riod. In fact, Dr. Morris' book, "The! Task that Challenges," the latest book of his that I have seen, is one i of the ablest and most inteesting dis-| cussions I have seen of the great task now confronting the Christian world. Every one ought to read it. | The first book by any of the re-' cent graduates is one by Dr. John W. Good, "Studies in the Milton Tra-; dition," 1915. This is a careful andi scholarly discussion of Milton's life,' work, and influence. The plan of the, book required an examination of the j various opinions concerning the sjreat Puritan author. This necessitated a vast amount of reading and) a careful weighing of views favorable! and unfavorable. But Dr. Good did! not stop when he found the views of j Dthers. He shows an originality and an independence of opinion that is worthy of the scholar. The bookj makes a volume of three hundred, pages of valuable discussion and iriticism. The next book to appear was "Georgia as a Proprietary Province," by Dr. Jas. Ross McCain. This book is based directly on original sources, covering, as the publishers say,' "points and problems not heretofore1 discussed by any writer on Georgia history." Besides giving an original account of the political affairs of the Province, the author gives two valu-j able chapters on "Education in Georgia" and "Religious Develop-! ment of Georgia." The whole book is a fine example of the scholarly handling of the raw material of history. Some of the material was so 1 inaccessible that a special act of the legislature was necessary before it :ould be obtained; and when it was obtained a vast amount of labor was lecessary in order to work lit up into readable history, a volume of about ;hree hundred and fifty pages. - m tlf The next book is one Dy irr. i. yy.j Baldwin, "An Edition of Philip Mas-I singer's Duke of Milan." This is a volume of about two hundred pages, :onsisfcing of a carefully edited text >f Massinger's play, a scholarly in;roduction of about fifty pages, and ibout fifty pages of explanatory andi ;ritical notes. The w<hole volume j shows r.ot only painstaking care, but! ilso a high grade of scholarship both!: iccurate and comprehensive. Before such a book could be produced, it was lecessary for the author to be faxnilar with the whole history of the . Elizabethan drama and the general! spirit of the Elizabethan and Shakaraerean age. This familiarity is evi-! lent in Dr. Baldwin's book." -t The above named books ail belong :o the strictly scholarly type. T!-:y required scholarship and their author met the requirement. They could not be expected to ibe popular vol-! ames. The next book to be mentioned is of an entirely different type. It is distinctly of a popular type? "Ambulance Company 113, 29th Di ' ' -r I vision," by Wagoner itaipn j. nvum-i son. It was written by Mr. Robinson! at the request of his company, a factwhich in itself is a fine tribute to, Mr. Robinson's well known skill as a' writer. The book is an intensely interesting account of many thrilling experiences. As we read of these experiences in Mr. Robinson's life-like account we get some vivid ideas of i.he heroism of the American soldier. The mere titles of some of the chapters suggest deeds that will live for-^ ver in the hearts of men?"Baptism of Fire," "No Man's Land,' "Ver-, dun," "Litter-Bearers," 'Ambulancej Service." These are headings of only| some of the chapters in a volume( full of the heroic deeds of heroic men. The book had to be writte: very hurriedly, but the captain of th company says of it, "Careful exami nation has convinced me the histori cal facts in this volume, as presente by Wagoner Robinson, are strictl; accurate." The book breathes th* very atmosphere of the scenes it re cords. In a word, it is a piece o fine work done under the most tryin; circumstances, a work creditable i: every way to Mr. Robinson. . Of all these men and all Iftes books Erskine College is proud. The; are representatives of the high ideal of scholarship for which the colleg stands. They show what Erskine mei can do. We look for other books be fore very long. These also we shal welcome, and before many years pas wo hope to have a special section ii the library set apart for books writ ten by Erskine boys?and girls. J. I. McCain. ''WOMEN TO RAISE ONE FIFTH Greenville, August 1.?Announce ment was made here today by Di W. J. McGlothlin, Funpan's ne^ president, who is State organizer fo the Great Baptist 75 Million Cam paign, that the members of the Wo mans Missionary Union, with the oth er women workers of the South Caro Iina churches, have agreed to should er the responsibility of raising one fifth of the five and a half million to be raised by South Carolina Bap tists in this tremendous drive whicl is to be held November 30 to Decern ber 7. This means that the Baptist wo men of the Palmelto State plan ti obtain $1,100,000 in the eight day of the campaign, this amount to bi paid in during the next five years an< to be used by the denomination ii work beyond the borders of thi church. The funds obtained will gi to missionary, educational and ibe nevolent work, except that of loca churches. For the first time in Baptist his tory, all the various causes fosterei by the Baptist denomination ar< united in one .gTeat appeal. Whil the figures set as'the goal is the larg est the denomination has ever at tempted to attain. Baptist leaders a State headquarters here express th confident belief that the states wil go well over the top in the drive an< that the final total will probably ex ceed six millions. w * V.
