SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 4, 1902
TIME Literature.

We are inclined on the whole 10 De-
lieve that the stimulus to literary pro
duction exists within and not without
the man. 1t is not external circuin-
stances, poverty or riches, sickness or
health. greatness or drunkenness, that
determine the productions or output OF
genius. 1t is the characteristics Of the
man that determine not what he shall
learn or what he shall think. but what
he shall do. A stimulus from without
such as poverty. may start production
of course, but that is merely the phys
ical awakening of a disposition that IN
any circumstances would have been
awakened in some way at some time.
True literature is the voice OF the soul
calling from the windows of the house
of clay in response to those things OF
life that touch the nature of the soul
that speaks.-London Spectator.
