BY THE SAME AUTHORThe Way of Martha and the Way of MaryIllustrated, $2.00Stephen Graham is a close student of Russia; he has a consuming interest in the Russian nature and deep sympathy with Russian character. For many years he has lived among the people of whom he writes. “The Way of Martha and the Way of Mary” is a study of Russian national characteristics, particularly as typified by her religious spirit, which is contrasted with the spirit of Western Christianity. A national idea, national unity, has its origin in the national religion, and this is especially true of Russia, because the intensity of Russian character demands some absorbing ideal to which it may turn.“All that is beautiful in Russia’s life, art and culture,” writes Mr. Graham, “springs from the particular and characteristic Christian ideas in the depths of her. She is essentially a great and wonderful unity. It is of that essential unity that I write.”“The Way of Martha and the Way of Mary” is a valuable addition to the list of important books Mr. Graham has written on Russia, books that are treasuries of information and a source of inspiration to those who love mankind.THE MACMILLAN COMPANYPublishers  64-66 Fifth Avenue  New York
