Cecil Rhodes Literature.

Cecil Rhodes admired Vanity Fair"
more than any other work OF fiction.
However. he inclined mere to the read
ing of serious works. He almost knew
Gibbon by heart, and he was especially
fond of Carlyle and Froude. He rev
eled in the classics. and he had u sep
arate library OF tyDe-written trans'a-
tions made for his own use This ex
as result Of his interest in The De-
cline and Fall of the Roman Empire. -
In 1898. without disclosing his connec-
tiGn with the matter beyond giving in
struction TO a London publisher. he had
corps of some thirty translators en-
ployed TO turn into English all the au-
thorities cited by Gibbon. The transla-
tions were carefully revised by compe
tent editor. neatly typewriter and
bound in red levant. The volumes as
finished we're forwarded to South Africa.
When the Byzantine authorities and he
general classics were ended. trans!ations
were made of the Arab authors. but
these were mainly retranslations from
the French. Then when Gibbon was e.
hausted the translators started on the
works written during the reign OF the
twelve Caesars. The big fire in Mr.
Rhodes home in South Africa IN 1896
destroyed or damaged a great deal OF
this work, numbering hundreds Of vol
lmes, but they were replaced after a
further process OF revision. Shortly
after the twelve Caesars were finished
peremptory orders were given TO stop
the translations. The purpose In having
the volumes typewritten and not printed
"a luxury that Mr.. Rhodes could aasily
have afforded-was TO insure that they
should remain unique. So even as a
bookworm Cecil Rhodes had colossal
IDEAS and showed that his mind was
unique.

An important event in the history and progress oil
the Nations Capital was the laying of the corner

The wine of life was in the air-in the fragrance OF
the clustering locust blossoms. the sprnglng grass,
the glorious roting sunlight, the gentle south wind
AT such times hshed and silent the passions and

frail human nature worshps its god and joys In the
mere fact of living in such beautiful world.

The Clergyman's Problem.

A newspaper critic takes occa-
| ion to sneer Mt the clergymen who
put their churches to the trouble
of heresy trial, and asks why the
clergyman does not do as the lay
man does. merely sever his connec-
tion without such fuss. and save
himself the humiliation of being
kicked ont. As critics sometimes
do, this one merely demonstrates
| his own ignorance of what he is
talking about.
The clereyman's position is un-
ike that of the layman in several
important particulars. 1t Is un-
| fortunate. of course, that the
preaching of the gospel should be
n business. but in our present civ
! iIizatinn il has to be, and there
fore the problem of the clergyman
whose faith has changed has some
business aspects. and these are,
moreover. complicated with re-
ligious and ethical aspects in a
way peculiarly distressing.
II is. in the first place, exceed
ingly important that clergyman
should he honest. If he is not
honest he does more harm than
good in almost every instance.
He cannot honestly profess creed
which he docs not believe. That is
certain. But he may believe this
creed. according to his intcrpreta-
ton. and vet not be in harmony
with The Interpretation given to 1t
by his church or his congregation.
In that ease he is only doing thf
sensible thing i'll trying to define
the two positions. so as TO sec II
they are Incompatible. He thus
makes his own ideas plain rot only
TO that church. but to other
churches. and stands some chance
of finding n place where he be-
longs. Otherwise he would he not
only clergyman without a
church. but man without any po-
sition or prospect of getting one,
which is situation not confront
ed by the layman who changes his
creed.
Again. if this clergyman is
honest in his change of belief, he
must feel that it might be a good
thing fer his church TO adopt it; in
which case nothing could he better
than free discussion of the whcle
matter. If a church cannot hold
Is best and brightest men it is a
sign that there is some need of
change in its polity or its creed
If. on the other hand. the churc-,
stands for some essential truth,
and the "come-outer' is mreasoT
able. the church ought to vindicatr
itself in that respect. Free dis
cussion never vet did religious
truth any harm. and about the
worst thing that can happen to
any religious body is that kind of
compromise which begins with the
hushine up of this, that, or the
)ther vital difference of opinion,
and ends with condition "f
things in which nobody quite
darcs to say that he believes any !
thing in particular except that one
ought to support the church.
