ARNOLU'S SWEETNESS IND
LIGHT.

In the November number Of III.
Catholic World Maga5ine, Anthony
Yoike has a splendid article on the
subject Of Culture as the aim of lif,
according to Matthew Arnold and
others. After reviewing the doctrines
or Winckelmann, Goethe and Waite,
Pater, ne thus disposes Of Arnold's
doctrine; Gone we now to thai
other modern prophet of culture-Mr.
Matthew Ar9old-the apostle Of the
vague and shadowy .Sweotness and
Light.' Mr.. Arnold, iii bis introduce
ton to the anthology entitled The
English Poets. after expatiating on
the great things which poetry will do
III the future for the English race =
how it will interpret life tor Us. con.
sole anu sustain us--goes on to make
this wonderful statement: "Our reij-
gion, ~paraaing evidences sucl, az
those on which the popular mind
relies now /; our philosophy, plnminc
itself on it reasonings about causation
and finite and infinite being: what
are they but the shadows and drenms
aud false shows Of know ledge? The
day will come when we will wander
at ourselves for having trusted to
them for having taken them serious
~ ana The more we perceive their
iialIowhess the more We shall prize
the breath and finer spirit of know.
ledge" offered to us by poetry. In
this exaggerated passage we have Nj.
Arnold's doctrine of culture.
"These few phrases give as a very
complete idea Of his position in re.
gard to religion, aud the wonderful
effects which he thinks will Be
wrought IN the world by poetic cul
ture, when the higher classes will
become less material, the middle
classes less vulgarized. and the lower
classes less brutalized.' Mr.. Arnold
sets aside religion as something Will,
which we have nothing to do--a thing
not proven. We find ourselves i'm
this world. and we must by using the
things OF this world attain our end.
Creeds are shaken, dngmas are dis
credited, traditions are fast siiSsoly-
ing, and men if they would be saved
must place their hopes Tor tile future
IN what Wordsworth calls the breath
and finer spirit of all knowledge.
which Is poetry
''Such are the sentiments of Mat
thew Arnold. He might very appro-
priately have stolen a title from
Charles Dickens and labelled them
Great Expectations do not know
what course Others may take. but as
me this is all fine talk. Words +!
