This book discusses one of the most impor-

societies and the nations of the world into a
true social whole. Division and discord are
prevalent. Fr. Leen’s book points out the roots
of the discord, and then indicates the remedy.
The work aifords the reader inspiration and
assistance in studying what is true and then
making that truth concrete and attractive by
the character of his daily life (Ave M 49:12
Ja. 28 '39) (Cath. World 1482759 Mr '39) (Ma -
