The function Of literary art in life is thus de-
scribed by The Saturday Review:
Take the world of literature as a whole-the
world created by Homer by Dante, by Cervantes,
by Shakespeare, by Sir Walter Scott, by Dickens,
by Goethe by Balzac, by Dumas; and ask any one
to consider what his own life would be-his own
powers of judgment, of feeling, of imagination
il all this world created by literary art had
never existed, or if he had never had any knowl-
edge of it. He might find it difficult to analyze
what his loss would be; but his difficulty would
be mainly due to the fact that his loss would
comprise so many losses. He would find himself
in the presence OF life suddenly made more help
less than woman would be at her toilet if she
found that her looking glass had been taken
from her. And by considering what we should
rose II we lost Lterary art, we snail be able TO
form some general picture for ourselves Of what
literary art does for us-of what is it's great
function in life. This function is not to give US
pleasure at the mOment-thOugh that is one of
its functiOns-but to make life a whole a
fuller and deeper thing for us, by enlarging
our conception cf it, by giving us a deeper in
sight into it, and by constantly putting befoRe
US possibilities which would else escape us, but
which, guided and stimulated by Art we NAV
succeed more or less in realizing.
And now for a moment let us turn from lit
erary art in general to particular examples of
it. and let US see how our understanding of this
supreme junction OF the former will assist US
in estimating the latter. If the great work
in the world performed by imaginative litela .ure
is to make Us live fuller and moro understanding
lives, that Individual novel romance pIav or
poem is good or bad, is true art or is sham art
in proportion as, in addition to entertainine ne
for the moment, it leaves in our minds denosit
or new knowledge or of new ideas. or else some
new capacities Of appreciation, which will make
life fuller, more significant more beautiful or
more interesting for us than it previously
In other words, its power and it's merits are 10
De judged not by its relation to ourselves regard
I ed as piece of literature but by the new rela-
tons which it tends to establish between our
serves ana Ire Art aims at beauty; Art aims
at producing pleasure, but ends like those ora
only means to the further end Literature Is a
living thing not because it exists for the sake
or literature 1t is a living thing because it
exists for the sake of life.

This beautiful world of ours needs only
universal brotherly love To transform it

cement of brotherly love and affection

wounds of the afflicted and raising the

with the trowel use that implement Alright
and do all in their power to bring about
the glorious contamination for which all
good men pray. Let us build our spirit
