The Country Church and the Rural Problem By KENYON L. BUTTERFIELD President of the Massachusetts Agricultural College
HE aim of President Butterfield's book is to analyze this problem and to inquire
into the influences which can most effectively aid in solving it. His conclusion is that no in- fluence can wield more power or achieve more far-reaching results than the church itself. But the church to which he looks for the in- carnation of individual and community ideals in personal and family life, in industrial effort, and in social and political relationships is not the narrow denominational or institu- tional body without a program of work and of effort. He would have a church which, under the inspiration and guidance of the religious motive, makes appeal to the ideals of personal development and neighborhood advancement, and which, because it can be, should be the dominating influence in the community for leading men and women to a new birth of aspiration and hope.

Ihe Religious Attitude and Life in Islam
'Being the Haskell Lectures on Comoarattle Religion VDelivered before the Untrersity of Chicago in 1906
cBy DUNCAN BLACK MacDONALD Sometime Scholar and Fellow of the University of Glasgow; Professor of Semitic Languages in Hattford Theological Seminary; Author of Development of Muslim Theology, Juris- prudence, and Constitutional I heory :: :: :: ::
IT is universally conceded that the formal theology of a people is not a safe index to its real religious
life. The theology of Islam is treated in a host of volumes, but, singularly enough, no author of the present gen- eration has even attempted to depict for Occidentals the Muslim religion as a fact in the daily consciousness of its followers. This lack is supplied by "The Religious Attitude and Life in Islam."
