New Brinig Novel

Myron Brinig, who rates
among the leading novelists of
our day, has produced another
great work which is today among
the best sellers in many cities in
this country.
His "May Flavin" Is a master-
piece of light fiction, and appears
as if it were timed for release
for summer reailing. Published
by Farrar & Rinehart, this fas-
cinating novel deals with the
daughter of a Chicago policeman
who was shot by gangsters. She
marries, but her husband leaves
her to her plight and to care for
her children—and the result is
the portrait of a brave woman
who turns to floor scrubbing,
raises a family, carries on an ex-
istence with courage. A son, who
is bodyguard to a Jewish rack-
eteer, is killed. One daughter
takes to illicit love. Another
daughter becomes a school teach-
er, and in her snobbishness turns
out to be the least sympathetic
of all the characters in the book.
Another son and a daughter
make their mark in Holly-wood
and the heroine winds up her
career there in an environment
of comfort.
There are very interesting por-
tions in the book, especially the
one in which May Flavin and
her Bowery friend Sadie Rabino-
witz of the days when both were
poor make a date to attend auc-
tion sales.
Myron Brinig, whose "The Sis-
ters" and "Singermann" made a
lasting reputation for him as a
novelist, adds to this reputation
with this new novel which is
splendid, although light, reading
for all time—especially during
the hot summer months.

"Jewish Science"

Rabbi S. Felix Mendelsohn Pro-
poses Program for Mental
Healing in Judaism

As a means of offsetting the
influence of Christian Science on
Jews, Rabbi S. Felix Mendelsohn
of Chicago has delivered a series
of sermons in which he shows how
Judaism can serve as an influence
in mental healing and how prayer
can be. resorted to for cures of
phycal suffering._ This series of
serntehs...lias been Ihiblished by
Rabbi Mendelsohn in book form
under the title "Mental Healing
in Judaism: Its Relation to Chris-
tian Science and Psychoanalysis."
On the whole, Rabbi Mendel-
sohn'• book is very unconvincing.
Furthermore, the subject is
dragged outs He could easily have
condensed the six sermons into
one or two and the approach to
the subject - would have been much
easier and his essay would have
served a much better purpose.
But his proposal suffers even
more from the fact that it is imi-
tative. He expressed doubt in
the sincerity of Jews who have
turned Christian Scientists, and
yet he expects that those who
would fall for such a program
would be more sincere when they
adopt a "Jewish Science" creed.
Dr. Felix A. Levy of Chicago,
who wrote the introduction to this
volume, is more optimistic. He
believes that "a study of this lit-
tle volume and a following of its
suggestions can help the divided
mind and restore confidence to
shattered nerves." But there is
inconsistency in the endorsement
of this program when he states
that Judaism "makes neither ex-
travagant claims nor the unintel-
ligible (to us) denials of Chris-
tian Science. Our religion rec-
ognizes as real all the factors
of human personality. does not
negate body or call pain and evil
illusions." This being so, why
try to imitate by creating a new
