June1928 Song Of The Sea A blasphemy How many multitudes of wordsRoll thunder gainst thy hills, O God,And break in roaring blasphemies,Shatter in froth of hissing curses,Ineffectual sparks of spray,Spat from a writhing sea. How many shades of solid shapesRise up against Thy hills, O God,And stand in ponderous silences,Tower in rocky hills of darkness,Ever-rugged jags of shadow,Taunting the tortured sea. ?4 27 lie-. Prohibition and Christianity, and Other Paradoxes of the American John Erskine. Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill Co., 319 pp. $ I started Prohibition and Christianity with a more or less fervent hope—a hopethat I would find quite a few of those choice bits of humor so characteristic ofErskines fiction. I was, and was not, rewarded. It must be difficult indeed toinject humor in serious essays, but this cannot detract from this collection of someof Erskines works. The author has undertaken to pass a camel through a needles eye. Fortunatelythe needle is large, and Erskine succeeds in getting only a few hairs through theeye. He has undertaken to define and explain something that is abstract—orrather something that is not. The American Spirit can hardly be set down onpaper—consequently it is nearly impossible to pick its flaws and thereby suggestremedies. But Erskine. at least, gives us enough meat, substance, and humor tomake the essays enjoyable
