Ilugging of Wagner ana Lajoie-they
are the wonders today--is greatly ad

dvals or repetitions Of the batsmen
who used to parade on every club.
What would the old fellows do If
hey were still in the game? II is my
honest belief that even with the foul
strike rule and the great fielding 70
hinder them, those old boys would
soak the modern pitching till they
would hardly ever get put out. Spit

RELIGION
IN THE
NOVEL

Hall Caine, the brilliant novelist.
contributes to the March number of
the Booklovers' Magazine very
strong plea for the novel as an ethical
force. Il rebel with all the strength
of my SOUL" he says, against the
shallow opinion, so current, that the
novel is a puppet show as immoral as
Punch and Judy and as completely
void of moral responsibility" The
novel, as Mr.. Caine lconceiyes 1t, must
deal with life as a whole and with its
deepest problems. Among these lat
ter religion is easily supreme. Hence
the novelist's treatment of 1t should
be didactic. though it should not be
bald or controversial. 1t must unite
the simplest pictures of life with the
deepest problems of humanity" On
this ground Mr.. Caine defends his use
of biblical subjects. He deliberately
chose as his themes 'the great leg
ends that have endured since the be-
ginning of the world" as far more
substantial foundations for stories
than any merely fictitious plots. Pic
lures of "the human comedy Mr..
Caine argues. cannot leave out of con-
clQCIdliOn SuCn d Nlldl COiiSIlluClt 90
religion; and even if. as in the works
of Charles Dickens and Charlotte
Bronte, the hypocrisies of professors
of religion be mercilessly exposed,
I" the net result can only be good for
religion itself, inasmuch as it must
help to purify religious life" Much
less should the shortcomings of the
clergy be spared on the ground of
lowering the atmosphere of reverence
in which the clergy should be held.
That would be to put gloss on what
soever things are untrue, dishonor-
able, unjust. impure and of evil re-
port. For religious novels ought not
to be mere sermons or philosophical
tractates thinly veiled, but parallels
wherein the mind Is above all things
fixed upon the fact" incidentally Mr..
Caine pays his respects to traditional
theology and says that the doctrine
of collective redemption has been the
occasion of grievous temptations in
the history of the church and, IL a
layman dare to say so, the theory of
conversion as it is taught in these
days by nearly all the evangelical
branches of the Christian church,
from the Roman Catholic to the Sal
vation Army, seems to be in danger
of concealing the true meaning of re-
ligion, in SO far as it allows itself to
adopt that free and easy attitude to
past transgressions which has always
been a snare" This he says In reply
to DIR. Clifford, who charged him with
emphasizing the doctrine of doom to
he af NJ crSa
Finally, Mr.. Caine predicts that the
novel will be the greatest ethical
teacher of the future. because it's ca
pacity for influence is unlimited.
There Is no pulpit he says. with
sounding board that will send the
human voice so far.">
