James and Harte.-Springfield Repub-

A unique survey of the field of fiction
was given the other day by a Pitts
burg parson. who. after telling what
horrid things he had seen in the book
stores. added this criticism:
In order to get the good and eschew
the bad among books on fiction | would
divide novels into four classes: First
and lowest are vile novels Of the type
Of Madame Corelli. Maupassant and
BalZac. These belong to the class of
yelloW-back or Frenchy literature and
are potent to infect the imagination
with vile imagery. My theory Of psy-
chology is that unhalloWed passions
are diseases not of the body but of the
mind. The reason offered is that evil
desires survive the power to indulge
them. Once infect child'S imagina-
ton, and YOU place in him an immoral
bog that Will menace his desires for
righteousness as long as he lives.
Avoid these novels as you would Il
viper. Parents should have knowledge
of every book read by their children.
The second class that is to be Stunned
is what | would denominate trashy
novels. They are not gross. like the
first but there comes no exaltation of
soul in reading them. no refining such
as comes from pure and felicitous die
ton. | would place in this class Rich
ard Carvell. David Harum and many
of Kipling's coarse army scenes and
unchiValric slurS on WOmanhoOd. 1t
may be all right to read those. but ii
seems to me life is too short. opportu-
mites for the best and only the best
too few. The third class to be stunned
is skeptical novels. Such as Mrs.
Humphrey Wards, which is not worth
the paper it is written on, and John
Ward, Preacher. The authors of these
unhappy in their own low views of re
ligion want in this subtle way to in
noculate the unWary with the poison
of skepticism. Read books of peren-
NAL interest and beauty such as Scott
Dickens. Thackeray, George Eliot
Hawthorne. Besant. Marion Crawford
and Anthony Hope. Combine With
these the great poets and essayists and
historians. above all make the Word Of
God the man of your counsel and the
guide OF your life.
