tenderness and reverence. He declared ne
had no desire 10 destroy the church, but
he pictured Jesus as a social reformer, and
svowed his belief that the spirit OF the
teachings OF Jesus "is the best medicine
for the Ills of the age"
On the basis of approximation Renan
deemed the Church OF Rome stronger than
dogmatic Professionalism; but he thought
the Professionalism which regards the spirit
Of Christianity above the letter stronger
than Rome He believed N God; believed
that the soul Of man may be immortal and
yet have no conscious continuance OF life;
he was an agnostic regarding the great
problems that stand for the unknown and
as he believed the unknowable. He was an
agnostic, but be had sweeter voice
and tenderer temperament than Strauss
or Huxley because he was not
only q scholar, but had poetic
mind, and was reverential in his
treatment OF what seemed TO him hIstor-
Voltaire's day, when the orthodox eccle-
siasticism of France was the cruel and
corrupt ally Of depraved court in all its
efforts to tread the lifeblood out of the
people. even as men tread grapes in the
wine press, probably his voice would have
take on a harsher tone and his speech
been more instinct with bitterness. VOL
taire, to do him justice. had humane
love Of liberty, wholesome contempt for
superstition and an honest detestation of
political oppression, and his furious bitter
ness was directed really at corrupt eccle-
siasticism rather than at the spirit of true
Christianity. Voltaire did not shoot at
Christianity so much as he did at the hor-
ribly cruel and corrupt church that helped
organize political tyranny in its name.

The memory of Renan is treated tenderiy
by the orthodox Christian world compared
with tho other great deists OF history, like
Voltaire and Thomas Paine. The reason
for this is found not only in difference Of
spirit, In a difference of method, exhibited
in the work of Renau. but in the larger
moral and spiritual tolerance Of our time.
Noltare wrote Of the orthodox Chris
tianity of his time in the spirit of bitter
ness and mqckery, while Renan IL a kindly

always spoke Of the Christian church with
admiration aud respect and was pleased
TO see his wife remain and his child grow
up in its fold. He denied the divinity Of
Christ, vet he called himself christian

enough and cruel enough TO rob the women
they pretend to Lore OF life and yet sane
enough not TO shoot themselves. Such
fellows at bottom are intensely selfish and
vindictive creatures; a true lover never
seeks to harm woman he sincerely loves;
he carries his cross like a man, and
never wants TO cruelty the Object of
his honest love. Probably the men
who really suffer the most behave
the best under such disap pointments. If
the woman has not wronged the dissp-
pointed man he ought always to be her
best friend; and if she has wronged him
he ought to thank God for his escape from
marriage with so mean and heartless
creature, and leave her to the retributlon
that generally overtakes perfdious people
of both sexes. The best philosophy man
can carry under such circumstances is that
expressed in the old lines
If she be not faIr for me.
What care how fair she boz
False education is something response
bic for such tragedies Somebody has said
that love in itself may be good or evil Just
as 1t Is subordinated TO moral or immoral
feelings. False education is apt to treat
love and its pernicious FRANKS with undue
tenderness. AS matter of common sense
a disappointed lover, who murders the
woman he loves, is not more respectable
than any other man who, made desperate
and vindictive by disappointment, COM
mits crime. The stupid notion that
there IS anything more romantic in
homicidal lover than there is in any other
kind of an assassin, doubtless starts in the
view that love of and by itseH is a noble pas
sion. 1t is noble or ignoble. just according
as it is nobly manifested, ministered to
and endured. It is very easy to say that
a homicidal lover is insane: he is prob
ably just as sane as any other fellow who
when he can't get what he wants loses his
self-command, and seeks to ruin when he
cannot rule. Intense seltishness lies at
the bottom of all such natures. They
really do not love, because real love always
rises to the level of self-effacement, self
abnegation for the sake of the loved one,
and man of any moral sense never allows
his own suffering to find solace in increas-
ing the sufferings of others.
true man, who has lost a good woman,
will never be indifferent to her happiness.
A man who seeks to harm good woman
who has rejected him never really loved
her; and a man who seeks to harm a
woman base enough to play with his
feelings is lacking in self-respect. He
ought to be glad shat he has found her
out.
