WHAT RATIONAL PLEASURE is.

There is a time, which we all know,
when most people read the poets with
pleasure, and few can be restrained
from themselves writing verse. If a
man passes adolescence without exer-
cising the poetic sensibilities there is
small chance of his acquiring them
a1uerward. Darwin relates that in his
early youth he was fond of the best
poetry and music, and that having
neglected the arts for science he arriv-
ed at a time when Shakespeare and
Beethoven bored him.
In our endeavor to insure the cult
walton of the more serious and funda-
mental virtues, intellectual and moral,
we have neglected the Importance Of
youthful training in habits of relaxa-
ton and rational pleasure. Parents
and educators are learning to revise
the adage, all work and no play makes
Jack a dull man. If Jay Gould had
spent reasonable share Of his youth
among orchids and on the sea his
riches might have been less, but he
would have been pretty sure to have
lived longer to enjoy them. If Mr..
Rockefeller had taken to the links at
the age when he was fixing the habits
of thrift his digestion would not re-
quire SO much golf now-to say moth
ing of the profit to his driving and put

CHRISTIANITY AND CASTE IN
INDIA,

Although a professed follower of
Christ, Swami Dharmananda, accord
ing to the London Spectator, blames
the Christian missionaries in India
for addressing themselves so largely
to the lowest castles. The terms in
which he speaks of the butchers,
sweepers, Chamars and the like who
are embracing Christianity are char
acteristic Of the attitude of the high
born Hindu.
The intellectual Indian can admire
everything in Christ except his asso-
citation with publicans and sinners.
The gospel has many charms for him,
but they are sadly impaired by the
fact that the common people hear it
gladly. The feeling is not merely one
of disapproval. 1t frequently rises to
bitter resentment, as in the case of an
Indian acquaintance of mine who
could never speak on the subject of
native Christians without anger. His
mild face would fire and his deferen-
tial voice deepen with indignation as
he said: CT hate themi 1 hate them!"
This, too, from one who was a dill
gent student of the New Testament,
particularly of the fourth gospel, and
who avowed belief in the divinity of
Jesus.

ARBITRATION VERSUS WAR.

There, indeed, is one great point of
superior value of arbitration over war.
1t settles things, says the New York
Tribune. A war within a nation may
settle something. One between two
sovereign powers does not. The very
next year another war may be started
over the very same issue to undo the
effects of the former one just as
France began planning Immediately
after 1871 for her 'trevanche" and for
the reversal of the verdict of the
Terrible Year" But there is no such
planning to undo the work of arbitra-
ton. The verdict of an arbitral tri-
bunal stands. 1t sets a precedent by
which not only the nations concerned
but others are thereafter guided. and
which serves to determine the settle
ment of subsequent disputes. 1t is in
that sense that the progress of arbi-
tration is most real and substantial
and is most fraught with the promise
of peace and justice for the world
