Prof essors and sociological worker$ Dr. Braden brings an unusual and .valuable compilation of similar facts in the religious worlds outside, of Christianity. .With the exception of an interesting chapter on Communs- tic Rdassia, the discussion is linaited to- non-Christian countries. In each religion and in each section of the world whicb he includes Dr. Braden bas chosèn those men who represent most faithfully the variou's attitudes of their peoples to b uild a complete picture of world religions., The book, therefore, is more than moderately authentic.

It is the story of a "little matn," one of those people whose existence senis to have no im- portance ini the general. scheme of tbings, but who, behind their mask of insigniificance, live a if e that is as rie 1h in* bappiness, worry, hope, and tribula- tion as the "big man", of tbe world. Hans Pinneberg And bis Bunnly are simnple people And. their story ýis told in utter simplicity. Here is realism that, is not selective; there are no heavy lines. or underscorings to indicate a definite pattern;,,the story bas no direc- tion that is not.given it, by the natural course of events in the. lives of these two. If there is a central theme it is More their love. for each other thanl anything. else-a love which blinds them to the cruelties of a world that is unconcerned with their struggles., Vet it is this. unfeeiing economic machine which molds the destiny of these sensi- tive people. Wheiî a doctor tells the naïvre B&ny that she is going to have a baby, she and Pinneb)erg are overjoyed and de- cide to get married. In their si mplicity tbey do not seethe pittalîs which. lie before them; tbey .are conscious ofily of their bappiiîess in each other and n the baby. that is coming.

If I bave given the impression that te story is sentimental, it is because. the spirit and feeling of the book is fifficuit to, recapture; while not witb- holding any of the emotions or reactions f the characters it is nevertbeless a iasterpieceýof restraint. Full of senti- îèent yet neyer maudlin, '"Little MPn Vbat ýNow?" is farmore real, mor 1e )Oignant than those stories of personal truggles ini the ýeconomic depression vhich d.epend on 'ieroics and melo- lrama for their effect.
