BOOK REVIEW
"WHY I AM A CHRISTIAN," by Dr.
Frank Crane; Harpers, New York
City. 12.
By C. H. DICKEY
» Dr. Frank Crane and Arthur Bris
bane probably have a greater reading
public than any two men in North
America. The general reading public
i 3 well acuqainted with Dr. Crane's
daily editorials which aie syndicated
all over the country. Possibly, how
ever, it is not so well known that he
was once a Methodist minister.
Anyway, he has written a book that
has been receiving a great deal of con
sideration in the country. Religiously,
Dr. Crane is a liberal; but he is also
a fundamentalist when it comes to
great abiding essentials of religion.
In this book he has written very
frankly and tersely on his personal
religious beliefs. The book is stim
ulating and interpreting. It is as
readable as Action and a great deal
more worth while. The print is large |
and the book has 350 pages, but can.
be read in three hours.

OF INTEREST
TO OUR READERS
Several times we hava published the
advertisement of Mayor H. C. Brooks
of Marshall, Michigan, regarding old
stamps. Wa understand that many
hava benefited themselves financially,
through their transactions with him,
and no doubt many others hava old
envelopes of value which he will be
glad to purchase. Mr. Brooks has col-1
lected old stamps for manv years, and '
is thoroughly familiar with all issues.
Those he especially wants are Confed
erate oi' U. S., but be also buys for
eign stamps provided they are old is
sues, used before 1865.
It is explained to us that very few;
of the U. S. stamps used after 1865
are of value unless the postmarks are
unusual in color design. Therefore,
no envelopes should be sent which
were mailed after 1865. Old folded
letters or envelopes used before 1850
are of value only when they bear some
kind of adhesive postage stamps. The
only envelopes without stamps which |
might have value are some of those
used in the South during the year 1861
before Confederate stamps were a
vailable.
Loose stamps Mr. Brooks does not
buy, except certain varieties of the
Confederate issues. Stamps should'
never be cut off as they are worth 1
more on the original envelopes. The,
reason for this is that collectors to
day are interested in postmarks as]
well as stamps. Revenue stamps are
not wanted. He does not buy coins,
Confederate money, old newspapers,
old documents or other relics. Noth
ing but the old envelopes interest him.
This explanation is made because Mr.
Brooks writes that although he has
tried to make this plain in his adver
tising, many people still write regard
ing miscellaneous articles which he
does not collect.
Some of our readers have also sent
envelopes on which they have writ
ten dates. This is not necessary and
sometimes spoils their appearance af
ter such dates have been erased. Old
marks can not be helped, but nothing
should be added. Send envelopes just
as you find them. The value of an
envelope is determined by the variety
of the stamp or postmark and not
the exact year mailed. Manv of ths
early postmarks did not include the
year date, but that makes no differ-
I ence in value.
There are so many different varie
ties of these old stamps that their
values can not be determined by writ
ten descriptions. They must be seen
and examined. Many which appear
to be alike show slight differences
when examined with a magnifying
glass. The common t"pes are want
ed as well as the rare ones. Your
envelopes, however, may be quite val
uable and therefore should be sent
either by registered or insured mail.
Mr. Brooks agrees to refund the post
ages if the envelopes are not pur
chased. Such envelopes, if in quan
tity, should be carefully packed in a
curdboard box and well wrapped to
make sure the package will travel
safely.
We gladly publish this for the ben
efit of those, who have old envelopes
stored away which wer® mailed dur
ing or before the Civil War. Extra
money is always welcome. Our
churches need it, and many individ
uals are sorely in need of such help.
We would not advocate the selling of
family letters. Private letters may be
kept, as only the envelopes are of
value toMr. Brooks. In the case of the
old-fashioned folded letters bearing
stamps, the entire letter would of
course have to be parted with, as the
letter itself constitutes the envelope.
Mr. Brooks is HO well and favoral>l>
known to the publisher that wo have
no hesitation in recommending him to
our readers, us'worthy of the fullest
confidence. He will report promptly
the value of any envelopes sent. You
are not obliged to sell unless his offer
is entirely satisfactory, in the event
the envelopes are not purchased, he
will return them to you in good order.
If you haven't any old envelopes, you
will do others a favor by showing
them this notice. Packages and let
ters should be addressed to Mayor
Harold,C. Brooks, Uox 228, Marshall,
Michigan. - ■ '• • **
