No parties here, to be sure; no clubs, no oysters and champagne, but pleasant sitting around the evening fire, with loud reading, Warner's "Mummies and Moslems" just now, very pleasantly written. . . . Have you seen Huidekoper's "Judaism in Rome"? It has interested me very much. The Jews, as a people, present the greatest of historic problems.
A narrow strip of land, that "scowl upon the face of the world," a small people, no learning, no art, no military power; yet, by the very ideas proceeding from it,-Christianity included,-has influenced the world more than Greece or Rome. Huidekoper's book is very learned. I am glad to see such a book from our ranks. We have done too little elaborate work in learning or theology.
Of a similar trend but much more recent are Frederic L. Huidekoper's The Military Unpreparedness of the United States and Major General Leonard Wood's Our Military History; Its Facts and Fallacies .
