the statement that Judge Severance

case involving the ownership Of four

facts Of the case. The expense to the

who desire to promote the benefcent
work of helping the poor to help them

it is the fashion to declare that differ

idea, after the death of Meredith, to-
put this work into some competent
hand. A large portion Of the reading
public which now knows little about
him might then find that there was
material in his novels to make him
one of the most fascinating writers Of
the present era.
From one of the leading journals in
the supposed center of American cul-
tfyation, this is a curiously Philistine
suggestion. 1t is as IL the Herald pro-
posed that some competent person
should repaint Monet's pictures in
shades Of brown and gray to make
them ineligible to the excellent peo-
pie who cannot see blue. Mr.. Meredith
is q gentleman of great ability, and If

that he does not care to gain the aver

Meredith is to him, the person who un-

task. The cold-blooded proposal to
popularize Mr.. Meredith "after his
death" adds a new terror to decease,
and the people who make speciality

by the rigid old New England econ
omy, which was not baffied even when
1t asked for bread and received a
stone. Were there prevailing in this
country today the same habits of econ
omy that distinguished our earlier life,
not only would the aggregate wealth
be vastly greater. but there would be
fewer and less serious inequalities and
less clamor of class against class.
Whatever can be done to recreate the
saving habit is at the same time a
blessing to the poor and an aid to. the
development of national character.
OF course. 1t is in it's lesser aspects
that the project to establish a provi-
dent fund commends itself first to
those engaged in philanthropic work.
Yet the objective point is just that
which we have considered-the estab-
lishment of the habit of saving. 1t
may be asserted safely that there is no
family living upon the product of daily
toll and not dependent upon charity
in which some trif1e, however small,
might not be laid by every week as a
provision for the future The trouble
with us is that we have learned to
despise the day Of small things. We

which is certain to consume any addi-

The purpose of the scheme present
ed by the Associated Charities is, there
fore, to encourage and assist the poor
to lay aside something, however small,
as the beginning Of little accumula-
ton Of wealth, and by this to establish
fixed habit of saving something out
of earnings. The method by which this
is done is described fully in the inter

regarded the preservation of the Union

Now this Is clearly in derogation of
the spirit of individualism. 1t indicates
the submergence of the man In the

self-abnegation without the recon-
pense of self-denial. 1t facilitates en-

sonal liberty. 1t is a weak yielding
that leaves the man weaker. The man
or woman who is stickler for his or
her individual rights does not meet the
encouragement due them. They are
uncomfortable folk to their neighbors.
even where they accord to others their
rights with the same strictness
with which they exact their own.
The man or woman, for illus

that, having paid for the ride, he or
she proposes to nave it regardless Of a
conductors mistake, is not looked on
by the other passengers in the proper
spirit. If the idea does not prevail
that the man or woman is trying to
beat poor conductor out of a fare
he is regarded as being picayunish
to make such a fuss over so small a
thing as a nickel.
But now and Their. there are men

The novel. like no other form Of art,
has power over the mind. II is
tremendous factor in the life of a ma
ton. This is because the novel is a
representation of human experiences.
And this characteristic satisfies the
dramatic imaginative cravings in man.
These cravings are potent forces in the
formation of character And il IS the
function of the novel TO feed these era
wings but TO feed them with the ideal
conceptions OF truth; to present scenes
that are eleyating: sentiments that are
noble; and pictures that are pure.
As conduct is much the result of the
imagination. it follows that, that fic
ton upon which il feeds must give TO
conduct its color and character. The
imagination someone has remarked
is the chemistry of character. Certain
ly we receive some of our most lasting
impressions through this faculty of the
mind 1t is therefore of greatest i'm
port upon what fiction it feeds and
what pictures of life 1t photographs.
The ugliness of vice is too often dress

soul is in the balance. A genius may
write TO afford his readers pleasure
I but our pleasurable moments are the
most temptable. If a novelist must
depict human life, and he has a right
TO do so. that is his legitimate province
but he must remember that earth is
not the only place where man lives
man possesses a spirit that reaches Out
into the invisible and purer world. He
must remember that man is not a mere
animal, but a spiritual being. Wher
the novelist recognizes this, when ne
recognizes that. there is an ideal in life
