THEIR WOODEN WEDDING The Latest Books (Continued from page 1197) effectively feline arraignment of the revenue-creating organization of the Methodist Church. It is without form, but by no means void, for it gives con- stant play to Mrs. Harris's gift of witty and probing comment on life. T is amusing how many bated-breath inquiries (as of those toying with in- stant damnation) one hears about Moore's “ The Brook Kerith,” and how undisturbedly an oppesite approach to the same inquiry, quietly conducted by Wil- | liam Dean Howells in “The Leather- wood God” (Century, $1.35), is accepted. The latter is a homely fiction based on a historical happening in the backwoods of 1820 Ohio, where a wandering im- postor set himself up as God, and was | passionately believed in by a large part | of the community. Mr. Howells makes a very human tale of it, with the life of the frontier and its near horizons inti- mately realizable. But only those who never read between the lines can miss the story's essential concern with the psychology of all human messiah-faith. O one of the many football books published in America has had more of the genuine, after-midnight, reunion- reminiscent spirit in it than the big, fat volume called “ Football Days” (Moffat, Yard, $2.50), just published by “ Big Bill” Edwards (William H. in non-foot- ball circles) of the Princeton ‘Varsity of the later nineties, The author’s own football autobiography is here, as well as a vast amount of personal post-graduate knowledge of the game and its foremost players, and of the garnered recollections and anecdotings of other veterans. The book most happily combines the infor- mality of intimate talk with a Homeric suggestion of paraded heroes. J. B. Kerfoot.
