THE REVIVAL OF MYSTICISM.

1.-THE trend toward mysticism in
cur time is Marked" says a writer in
Current Literature for November "It
appears in the field of the intellect; in
religion; and in art. Prof. Harold
Hoffding of Copenhagen, declared at a
.ecent congress of psychologists that
since all the most important problems
are beyond the reach of mans reason
ing powers, the search for ultimate
reality leads inevitably to mysticism.
Henri Bergson, the French-Jewish
philosopher, whose speculations have
deeply Influenced the whole thought
atmosphere of the day, shows decided
mystical leanings. Symbolism is the
keynote of modern drama, the watch
word of 1bsen, Hauptmann and Mae
terlick; and symbolism, we are often
told, is only another name for mysti-
cism.
"Tn America the mystical tendency
Is everywhere in evidence. Christian
Science is its most pronounced express
Sion, but the New Thought cults, the
various Spiritualistic bodies, the Theo-
sophical and Vedanta societies, all
bear witness to its growing vogue.
Yet in spite of its pervasiveness,
tery few can define mysticism The
vaguest ideas as to its real meaning
prevail. There is a mystical tradition,
however, extending for many centuries

Basil, st. Bernard Of CIairvaux, Bona

Kempis, st. Catherine, st. Theresa,

mystical attitude is now fairly clearly
formulated. Practically all authorita-
tive writer's On the subject emphasize
as one of its essential aspects the con-
ception of the soul as something that

of Kentucky's national guard to the
scene of the threatened hostilities
Since the arrival of these troops there

In fact. it would be reasonable to
suppose that the leaders of the con-
tending parties, who were apparently
just watching for the chance to begin
a war on each other to the death,
were responsible for getting the state

FOOTBALL.

Gloom spreads over the football
arena. There have been several serious
accidents this year as usual in the
playing Of the game but they were
brought to an unfortunate elimination
on Saturday last through the fatal in
jury of one of the players on the West
Point team during its contest with the
eleven of Harvard university. Already
is the cry going up in certain quarters
for absolute prohibition of the game
because of this distressing fatality. 1t
is not being sounded, though, by the
caimer and wiser heads, even among
those who are most deeply concerned in
the welfare of the young men who are
the more generally engaged in the
sport. 1t is not likely that this demand
will be needed. And it should not be.
Football is one Of the most vigorous
of games n is far from being child's
play and calls for robustness of
physique and endurance AS an aid
in the development of the young men
who will be forced to bear the heavy
burdens in the battle of life in this
land in the future it is most important.
Football develops in those who succeed
at it the qualities which make for VIC
WI ia CSOA lCAO VI ClidSofOl
1t stimulates the enthusiasm of thou
sands who participate in it only to the
extent of witnessing it's playing. A
game of this sterling character. spec
tacle which interests the multitudes is
not without it's proper place in the
many and varied activities of life.
Admission must be made that there
is danger to those who play football.
But it is really no more or greater, and
in many instances not as great, as that
which prevails in all other sports which
interest young men and older ones.
Football has caused other deaths than
that of Cadet Byrne and so have other
sports. Indeed there is more or lesf;
danger to life wherever it exists and
the fatalities which occur in the United
States each year in the pursuit of the
various vacations are rather monu-
mental in numbers.
AS matter of fact, however, the
deaths due to football are really few
and far between and furnish no good
excuse for its prohibition. They are
to be regretted and deplored but if
every sport were to be abolished be-
cause of thu deaths that are incident to
it the American race would soon be-
come one of mollycoddles in fact. The
death of young Byrne rather en-
phasizes the fact that football when it
is played properly and by men who are
trained for it in the right way is not
as dangerous as other sports, because
his is the first fatality which has hap
pened in years to any member of the
larger and more expert football teams
of the country. For the most part
the serious injuries and deaths in
football have occurred among i'm
mature lads who should not be per-
mitted to play the game and among the
members of athletic club teams who
have not the opportunity to condition
themselves adequately for the contests
they enter.
