The Story of Jesus Christ; An Inter
probation. By Elizabeth Stuart Phelps.
(Brston and New York: Houghton,
Miffiin & Coz Allston, the artist, was
once asked why he had never painted
the head Of Christ. He said that his con-
ception of the Christ was SO far above
him that he could not think of attempt
ing it. Other artists, plastic and liter
airy, not better qualified perhaps, but
less distrustful, or sensitive, have essayed
the task with different degrees of success,
or of failure. Mrs. Phelps Ward has read
widely on the subject, and without fol-
lowing any existing model, aims to re-
duo, them all to an impressionist pic
ture. she gives us her impressions of
what the daily life of Jesus must have
been. The success of her endeayor will be
much mooted. Many Will be charmed
and helped, while others will think her
presumptuous in .delineating, with such
free hand, life and character too sa-
cred for tpen pictures" Even in art,
the highness is seldom successfully por-
trayed by living representatives. Most
cultivated people prefer their mental con-
ceptions Of q great poets creations
Shakespeare for example--to any state
representation. Much more is this true
of prophets and apostles, and of the
Christ above all. Let US add, however,
that Mrs Phelps-Ward writes with the
best Intentions, holy reverence and a
believing heart, of Him in whom she
discerns all the attributes of Divine Soul
ship. She says: "No important departure
from the outlines of his only author lied
biography (tho four Gospels) has beguiled
the pen which has sought to portray the
Great Story" Even so, we fear that a
well intentioned, but unwise woman, has
rushed in 'twhere angels would fear to
tread ,,

oughiy and inpartially in the cities was
because there was in those places pre-
ponderating number Of voters
who did not want it so enforced, or
at least were Indifferent. Mr.. White, it
will be seen. attributes this non enforce
mont to the ''bosses.'' The difference,
we apprehend, between Mr.. Whites view
and that Of the PRESS, is more apparent
than real. 1t is the indifference of the
people that enables the boss to dictate en-
forcement of law or selection of candi-
dates. With an active, aggressive and
overwhelming sentiment in favor OF
vigorous and incorporating enforce
1nent Of the prohibitory law the boss
would be helpless to resist. Indeed
we would not try to. On the contrary he
would jump on board tho train, take
command and become for the time being
q most vociferous and incorporating
reformer. Mr.. White falls into the quite
common error OF interpreting the vote on
constitutional amendment to mean neces-
sarily an overwhelming and vigorous
sentiment in favor of the stringent on
forcement of the prohibitory law. Proper
~ analysed the vote really shows what
we have commended is the fact, that there
has always been IN the state large ele-
nent of indifference, even If we reckon
everybody who voted for it as an earnest
believer in its principles and vigorous
advocate of its thorough enforcement. AT
the election when it WAS adopted LAP, 107
votes were thrown for governor, while
the total vote on the amendment was but
"a. 594, or At, 5l3 less. As the only extra
effort required to vote on the amend
ment was the taking up and depos-
iting of another slip of paper in a
box these 1913 voters, it Is fair to pre-
sumo, were Indifferent. or they would
have made 1t. 1t will be seen that with
this A, 5l3 added to the negative vote the
result would be majority against the
amendment. This element of Indifference
which Is manifest in this vote, has re-
manned since, and that with the active
hostility in some of the large places, &C.
counts for the lack of vigorous enforce
ment which Is seen In these places.
Unless this indifference (the active hos
tility is comparatively inconsequent),
can be removed, it is useless to expect a
vigorous and impartial endorsements of
the law except by fits and starts. How
to remove it is the important problem
to be solved.
