largeness Of sOul-quality. Undoubt-

anthropists of modern times. OF
course it is the fashion to call him
fanatical, but the fact remains that
he alone of the titled and privileged
great ones now or lately living has
left all to follow" Christ. Even the
most pietistic nowadays manage to
find a strong inner conviction that it
is absolutely the divine will that they
keep the wealth and station that they
have inherited and that they dispense
from their fortunes. at their conve-
nient pleasure, what they think the
Lord may need. TOlstOy would sly
that the Lord is in no need of their
bounty, but wishes merely that they
outgrOw caste and the pretentions Of
privilege. To do this, while clinging
to all the emOluments of wealth and
power is impossible. Even among the
followers of Him who gathered no
substance and made il a test Of disci-
pleship that none who followed him
should have any, worth is far from b =

people who insist that the Bible
should be kept under lock and key as
unfit to read. Yet the reputation of
the Hebrew scriptures is undoubtedly
now, on the whole, beyond jeopardy.
And similarly, except with historical
critics, Tolstoy may he held already
to have been acquitted at the bar of
public sentiment of any such literary
purpose as coirupting the morals Of
his age.

The review of Hall Gaines Christian
in the last Atlantic again reminds us
that fame, until she gets out OF short
dresses, is a very hoydenish and un-
accountable divinity. The author OF
the review aforesaid deviseth thus:
"lf a novelist chooses to write about
vice as a fashion of contemporary
manners, we feel that Grylle is Grylle,
and may write as he pleases: but when
Mr.. Hall Caine takes advantage Of
the sacred name of Christian in order
TO attract decent people, and in the
same pages describes vice in frequent
repetition of similar scenes. We think
he must be held TO be lining his twig
t. catch at the same time a different
class OF readers" That anybody who
knows Hall Game, or has read a dozen
pages of his Christian can honestly
suspect that this author is capable of
making bid for readers and notoriety
through pandering to salacity, is hard
TO realize. A dozen years from now it
will all be different. Not SO long ago

mean the remuneration which He and
his followers practiced and insisted
on. But TolstOy says, Christ did not
bid the rich man sell all that he had
and give to the poor and only after
that come andfollow Him, for the sake
of the rich mans money, or for the
sake OF the poor to whom it would
have been a fleeting pittance, but for
the sake Of the rich man. Since the
rich man did not find it a joy to do
this, the call was not for him. There
was no duty about it; it was
privilege he could not rise to. II he

notion has been too common that this
thing was demanded for sacrifice. for
discipline. as test which, submitted
to, would give the one suffering it
eXaltatiOn because he had acted a
heroic part. The Sermon on the
Mount is pitched to a higher key.
TOlstOy believes that Christ would
have declared it better to keep ones
substance than throw it away for the
sake of conscious merit to be acquired
thereby. And the general spiritual
sense of the age would, l imagine, in
dOrse that view.
That TOlsiOy has done, spiritually
speaking,this very act of remuneration,

the worlds great martyr for Christs
sake, is ! suppose the disturbing cir
cumstance in the disputations of
the day. He upsets the equanimity
of those who, by great tribulation.
have come to the comforting conclu-
sion that they are great in the king

merit for renOuncing his man made
privileges, for making himself of no
reputation, and treating the drosky-
driver as his friend and equal not less
than the Sybaritic patricians of Mos
COW and the court. He feels it merely
