read novels answers as follows: I'VE do not
see anymore wrong in reading a novel than
in reading anything else, provided that novel
is worth reading at all. Truth may be set
forth in fiction in a very forcible way. The
parallels of the New Testament are for tho
most part doubtless constructed with ina
mary characters, but they are for the purpose
OF teaching some important truth. When a
novel does the same thing it may be read with
profit. Still, we do not recommend the read
ing of novels where the tendency is to de-
strOy the taste for more substantial reading"
