ToLsToI ON WAR.
He Cries Out in Despair Against Con
flct and Patriotism.

Leo Tolstoi, in LHumanite Novelle,
says One groans over the sad condi-
tions of the peoples life in the civilized
world. But it is possible to modify
them. We have only to obey the funda-
mental law proclaimed thousands of
years ago: Thou shalt not kill" Like
wise is it with the laws of love and of
human fraternity. And yet what do we
see? Every European denies this di-
vine law, but upon the order of pres
ident, of an emperor, of minister, of
Nicholas or of William, he dresses him
self ridiculously, seizes slaughtering
instrument and cries out; Here 1 am,
ready to outrage, ruin, or kill whomso-
ever shall be pointed out to met
What can a society composed of such
men be? Such a society cannot but be
frightful and so it is!
Awaken, brothers Do not listen
either to those scoundrels who from
childhood harass you with the devils
spirit of patriotism" an enemy to
truth and uprightness, and which
serves only to take away your proper
ty, your liberty, and your dignity; list
en- not to those impostors who preach
war in the name of a cruel and re-
vengeful God which they have invented
out of a perverted and false Christian
ism; and still less listen to those mod
ern Sadducees who having for their
real aim only the maintenance of
things in their present state, assemble
in the name of science and civilization,
and write books and give lectures
promising to give the people happy
and peaceful life without any effort.
Do not believe them. Believe only in
conscience which tells you you are
neither beasts of burden nor slaves,
but free men responsible for your acts,
and consequently incapable of becom-
ing murdeFers, whether of your own
free will or upon order of those who
live only by murder. You must wake,
for you yourselves must give an ac-
count of all the horrors and insanities
of which you have been guilty. That
done you put an end to this disease
which you abhor and which is running
you. If you succeed allthese impostors
who, after having corrupted you, OPP
press you, will vanish like owls before
the light of day. Then will be realized
the new human and fraternal life tow
ard which Christianity aspires, dulled
with sufferings, exhausted by lies, and
lost in insoluble contradictions. Let
each one fulfill, without confused and
adulterated argument, that which each
day his conscience commands him, and
he will recognize the truth of the Cos
pei: IF any one wish to do Gods will,
he will recognize whether my doctrine
comes from God or whether 1 speak Of

GREcIAN RESTORATION.
Background of the Life of the Greeks
Can Now Be Imagined.


1t is scarcely necessary to insist on
the gain which has come to the stu
dent of Greek history from the excava-
lions of Olympia. We are now able to
reconstruct, in Imagination the back
ground of one very important side of
Greek life-the side connected with the
great athletic contests of Greece, and
the religious shrines about which they
reVolved. For the first time the great
festival of Olympia becomes real to US,
writes Percy Gardner in the August At
lantlc. We see the vast crowd issuing
IN the morning from the porticoes
where ii has snatched a hasty sleep,
ana moving on to the stadium to see
the chosen athletes of the age struggle
Tor the mastery. We see the long pro-
cesslon OF victims passing on TO the al
tar of Zeus, accompanied by the bands
OF delegates from the Greek colonies of
Italy, Sicily and Asia Minor We pore
over the trophies of many battle, and
the records of many treaty. We ac-
company the traveller Pausanias as he
Wanders with his guide over the sacred
ground, from statue to statue, till he
reaches the noblest embodiment of the
religious feeling Of the Greeks, the CO.
losSal Zeus of Pheidias in gold and
ivory. Soon we shall be able to make
Delphi as Vivid in our imaginations as
Olympia is now. The sacred home of
Apollo will not be to US, as it was to
our ancestors, the site of a squalid
modern village, but a body to which the
soul can be in a measure restored. We
shall be able to follow up the sacred
way the professions which came from
Athens and Thebes and Sparta to ask
for those decisions of Apollo on which
the history of the world depended
With them we shall pass from treasury
to treasury, and trophy to trophy, till
we stand by the great altar in the pres
ence of the temple which the indwelling
deity had made the source of the no.
blest inspirations of the Hellenic race
Apollo will speak to us no longer from
mere books, but from his own shrine on
the slopes of the mountain which is for
all time the sacred home of poetic fer
vor
What would our ancestors, who so
greatly valued third-rate Graeco-Ro-
man sculpture and Roman sarcophagi,
have thought of the treasures brought
to light at Pompeii and Athens, Olym-
pia and Delphi? 1t is for us that these
treasures have been reserved; and if
we fail to appreciate and to use them,
we shall deserve to lose our sense of
beauty in the vulgarity of modern sur
roundings, and to lose our sense of the
dignity of human life amid the mate
rialism produced by the rapid spread of
all kinds of physical invention and dis
covery.
