He properly observes, however, that "the great literary merits of the sayings and speeches of Jesus are not fully apparent in the four Gospels, because many of his shorter sayings are scattered among many miscellaneous statements of the writers of the Gospels themselves, and because no one of the Gospels contains the whole of any of his longer and more elaborate speeches." The book will be prized by many for its grouping of these disconnected sayings, so that they can be read in logical order, and as the author is content to take the text of the Revised Version without adding anything of his own, readers will have no occasion for experiencing any sense of loss by substitution.

A helpful first-hand investigation of conditions in Chicago. "Even when the judge is honest and intelligent, there is often an atmosphere of offhandedness and apparent disregard of the main issues. The inarticulate administration of the
oath, the aimless going to and fro; the close, un pleasant odor, the noise and confusion, now lulled, now increased by the pounding of the gavel, these things leave with those who are having their first experience with our judicial system a scattered and distracted impression. Very often one encounters among the foreignborn of Chicago the very definite conviction that an innocent man has no better chance of release when brought before the Municipal Court than a guilty one._ This seems to be due not so much to actual misjudgment of facts presented, but to the general haste which makes a man timid about presenting his case and convinces him that the judge has no time to hear his story of how it all happened. This varies very much, however, with the individual judge." See Immigration.
