Being Good with the Scientists

MORAL ADVENTURE: Burnett Hillman Streeter, D.D. MacMillan, New York. $1.25.

By R. M. M.

IN spite of the many excellent paragraphs in the book, it is not important. There is nothing fundamentally new although there is much that gains distinction through organization and skillful phrasing. The difficulties of sexual affairs are well considered and the good old solution by sublimation is touched on though less convincingly perhaps than is frequent.

It is particularly disappainting to have the Reverend Doctor Streeter congratulating himself on having discovered the sex solution par excellence in the joy of renunciation for its own sake as an admirable example to others. Somehow the logic of renouncing something that is not worth renouncing for one's self so as to impress others with doing the same for the same reason has never pleased this reviewer.
