During the academic year Of 1g07-S, the
P~hilosophic union OF the state university OF
California at Berkeley used my book. The
Finality Of the Christian Religion, as the
basis Of its study and discussion. 1t honored
me further by a request 20 give the an
nual address before its UPTON. which 1 did
on August q, 1905. The address was de-
ivered extemporaneously, but was sub
%sequently dicIated in a somewhat enlarged
form TO a stenographer, for publication in
the university journal. Owing to agitation
Of rather a misleading character, in the
press, but especially to the kind reception
accorded me in Berkeley, for which I am
very grateful. I decided to publish the I'D
dress in book form. Again, 1 have gone TO
the pains Of amplifying and popularizing
it still more, and 1 have taken the liberty
Of keeping the form Of public address
throughout the new matter as we'll as the
old. This accounts for the personal pro-
noun, for which, now that the book is writ
ten, 1 am inclined to be sorry. Those who
do not care for so popular a book on such
a subject may find the conceptional sub
stance of It in the original address, as
published in the University of California
Chronicle Vol. XII, No. 1. The book has
been dashed off ut white heat in about
thirty DAYS as sort OF "~by-product" Of a
moro difficult task. 1t cannot rank as a
work of pure science, for 1t is not closely
enough keyed together for that; nor Is II
intended to rank as a work Of literature.
But 1 am sustained by the firm convtc-
ton Of having uttered, not without vigor,
some Of the things to which my day and
generation need most of all TO give heed.
Into whose hands could / wish this lit
tie volume to fall? Not into those Of stu
dents in this field, like myself, for they
would probably learn nothing from It I'M
less it were to avoid the errors which 1
have made and to escape the perils which
1 have encountered. At the other extreme,
not into the hands OF those who are happy
and holy as they repose in views Of ORR
gin and statements of belief that are fixed
for them in their church traditions. 1 would
not hurt the feeling of such nor incite
them to a change for which they feel no
need. I could wish with all my heart that
our fathers and mothers might enjoy the
blessed calm OF the evening of life, free
from the spiritual bewilderment of those

WHAT WAS HIS NAMES

Edward Everett Hale.
What was his manner I do not know his
L only know he heard Gods voice and
came;
Brought all he loved across the sea,
To live and work for God and me;
Felled the ungracious oak,
With horrid toll
Dragged from the soil
The thrice-gnarled roots and stubborn
rock;
With plenty filled the hagsard mountain

And when his work was done, without nue.

lie lived, he died. 1 do not know his name.
No form Of bronze and no memorial stones
Show me the place where lies his moldering
bones,
Builded by his hardened hands
Only ten thousand homes,
Where, every day,
The cheerful play
OF love and hope and courage comes;
These are his monuments, and these alone
There is no form Of bronze and no me-
mortal stone.
And 1?
Where Thou, great God of angels, wilt send
Some oak for me to rend, some sod
For me to break,
Some handful of Thy corn TO take,
And scatter far afield,
Till II in turn shall yield
Its hundredfold
OF grains OF gold
To feed the happy children of my God2
Show me the desert, Father, or the sea,

And though this body lie where ocean rolls,
Father, count me among all faithful souls!

Inspecting Reclamation Work.

The Yellow Peril.

The hollowness Of the yellow peril
cry could not be better shown than by
recent events. No one raised it more
vehemently than Emperor William of
Germany. Other European statesmen
Joined in and there were some Amer
leans in the chorus. If they really
fear a yellow peril, why do they not
permit China to keep on sleeping? In
stead the nations Of the world are do
ing all in their power to awaken the
dragon by introducing occidental
methods and ideas into China. The
government used its utmost endeavors
to secure for German bankers the loan
to build a railroad opening up a most
populous section of China and the eff
fort secured participation in the loan.
Subsidized German steamships are
catering for and developing the Chi
nese trade, although China is more
than willing that the doors of the en-
pire, closed centuries ago, shall re
main closed.
Does anyone imagine that Germany
or the other nations would be lifting
the lid to the Chinese Pandora's boz
just to see what is in 1t If they be
lieved it dangerous? 1t would seen
nearer the truth that the cry OF yellow
peril was raised for political home con
sumption. The fact is that mer,
numbers have never dominated tn,
world, and if China ever should obtail
pre-eminence 1t will be when 1t ha
reached the top level in social, politica
and Industrial life. To reach thi
point would at best take centuries.

Passing of a Literary School

The death Of Sarah Orne Jewett re-
moves one of the last of a school of
writer's who wrought for the youth
of preceding generations and of those
now living but grown up. From the
picture book OF those unable to read
to the time between childhood and
maturity they catered to sentiment and
inculcated the tender and idealistic
side of human nature. With them the
fairy story, the good little boy and
girl far above the reality, have dis
appeared and in their stead we have
the nature books with their practical"
instruction. People now regard 1t a
waste OF time to teach the little ones
fairy stories which they must later
learn are only myths, for it is an age
Of two times two is four which loses
sight Of the fact that It is the ideal
which is beyond attainment which
leads both children and grownups to
strive for things higher than present
attainment. Whether the new lie better
than the old is hardly worth while tC
argue, but who among us would blot
out If he could the sweetly tender
memories OF the days when we be
lieved all those pretty child stories
and wanted to have them read to Vi
over and over again.

The Function of Religion.

In view OF the discussion In progress
over Prof. Fosters book on The
Function OF Religion in Mans strug-
gle for Existence The Bee reprints on
this page the authors preface, which
/ explains in his own words how he
came to write the book and what its
purpose is. Most of those who have
been participating in the discussion
and joining in denunciation of Prof.
Foster have plainly never seen his
book, and as a consequence most Of
the criticism has flown wide Of the
mark.
THE Function Of Religion" is,
largely, a review and repetition of the
conclusions reached by the most cru
dite students of the Bible and of COM
parative religions. Not only this, but
the present book merely restates in a
great part what the same author had
incorporated into another book called
THE Finality of the Christian Re-
ligion,'' which he had published three
years before and which in turn simply
expanded a series of lectures delivered
three years before that. When in his
preface Prof. Foster says hat "the
book has been dashed off at white
heat in thirty days. he evidently
means only that the rewriting was
done hurriedly, whereas the contents
had been carefully prepared and the
opinions expressed formed as the re-
suit OF long study and deliberate
thought.
The wonder, therefore, is how, If
the book calls for such severe denun-
citation and demands the authors ex-
pulsioh from the church, he should
have beer able to lecture and teach
the same doctrine all these years with.
