"The undying fire," God's indomitable spirit in the soul of mankind-this is the theme of Mr. Wells' startling novel. This modern version of the Book of Job is presented with intensity and vigor. Real individuals of our own time face again the problems and temptations of the old Biblical story. Through adversity, pain and despair, the leading character clings to the "undying fire" and in the end, like Job of old, he is rewarded. H. G. Wells' new novel is an inspired story, deeply human and stirring. Ready May 22. $1.50.

the new novel by

John Galsworthy

R. GALSWORTHY presents in this fine flowering of genius a story that touches all of us, a story of the gulf between the generations-of love and the loss of old-time faith.

The scene is England, the awakened England of these days, and the story centres about a single family: Edward Pierson, the fine old vicar, and his two daughters. From the difficult love-affair of the one daughter and the discovery by the vicar that his religion is an impossible thing of the past to his other daughter arise a sequence of intensely dramatic events leading to a most significant culmination.

The Mastery of the
Far East

By Arthur Judson Brown

A new book of the first importance on the muddled Far Eastern situation. Political, racial, social, religious difficulties-the very problems that underlie the present Korean crisis and the demands of Korea, China, and Japan in Paris-are discussed with great completeness.

"Readers who have learned to expect violent partisanship from almost any writer on Far Eastern affairs will be delighted by the impartiality and good judgment which pervade this entire book," says the critic of the New York Times in the course of a three-column review. Illustrated. $6.00 net

A Pilgrim in Palestine
By John Finley

New York State Commissioner of Education

An informal record of days afoot by the first American pilgrim after Allenby's capture of the Holy Land. Dr. Finley's hickory cane is scarred with notches denoting tramps in many lands and he is also an old student of the Holy Land. He catches with startling effect the dramatic present in the atmosphere of the past in such glimpses as that of Anzac cavalry bivouacked on the very plateau above the Jordan where Saul was stricken blind so many hundreds of years ago.
