MACUALAY, HUXLEY AND
 JOHN HENRY NEWMAN
the 10th Century, as Observed by Cecil Chesterton
BOOKS AND READING

(New York Post. June 1S)
 The three great controversialists o1 the nineteenth century in England were Macaulay, Huxley and Newman This is MT. Cecil Chesterton's opinion as elaborated in delightfully."- writ ten and convincing article in the OK ford and Cambridge Review. Mir Chesterton begins by arguing that con- troversy, like any other art, can be considered from the purely artistic standpoint and it's technical quality analysed without reference to it's aim "A good shot is a good shot. and il you are a technical judge of shoot ing you will judge impartially of the technical excellence of a shot, whether it is fired by a patriot at his coun- try's enemies or by murderer at his wealthy uncle. It is hardly necessary the prota gonists of the Unmorality of Art seem to suppose-that it does not matter whether you shoot youi countryis enemies or your wealthy un- cle."
 MT. Chesterton draws distinction versialist. Carlyle, Kuskin, and Kings ley were of the former type; they preached to congregations None of them could have stood up to Macaulay or Huxley not to mention Newman, whose primacy in the art of contro-
 
 caulay's method consisted very large ly in the cumulative effect of rapid repetition of blows, delivered success. sively at the same point and each 8 little stronger and heavier than the last" Huxley's procedure was very ways harnessed his dialectic to the cause of truth, which Macaulay did not But when we come to Newman we find no. guerrilla of controversy. nor even tactician, but veritahle strategist He is not concerned with the scoring of immediate advantages; he does not set out to pierce. an en- emy's lines by series of sharp at- tacks. His method is to throw out broad lines of envelopment, to man. euver, to occupy: without raising all at once the batteries are unmask- ed and the enemy finds himself in Sedan. MT. Chesterton's illustration of Newman's art is so interesting that we venture to quote it at length:
 The historian Hallam, in his View of the State of Europe During the Middle Ages" had remarked that "in the very best view that can be taken of monasteries their existence is deeply injurious to the general mor- als of the nation" because under character fell implicitly into the snares of crafty priests. who made submission to the Church not only the condition but the measure of all praise And to illustrate this fact, he proceeds:
 E He is a good Christian" says St. taigius. saint of the seventh cen- tury, "who comes frequently to
 'hurch. who presents an oblation that t may be offered to God on the al- ar;e who does not taste the fruits of his land till he has consecrated a part If them to God; who can repeat the Creed or the Lords Prayer, Redeem
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-06-21

Some one for the first time, instead of blindly following the traditional statement. thought 1t worth while first to consult St. Blisius himself
 He then proceeds to show that the and putting together odd sentences scattered through very long sermon, and that the surrounding sentences Ac- tually contain those very recommends tions to general piety and benerolence vilely abused by M0sheim, Maclaine, Robertson, Jortin. White and Haliam for emitting. Thus: Wherefore. my brethren, love your friends in God and love your enemies for God, that he who loveth his neiehbor has fulfilled who receives the stranger with Joy, as though he were receiving Christ Himself . who gives aims to the poor in proportion to his possessions
 5. who has no deoeitful balances or deceitful measuroe who es hts neighbors and his children to live chastely and in the fear of God
 Keep peace and charity, TO. call the contentious to concord, avoid lies. tremble at perjury. bear no false witness, commit no theft. '. Do as ss. y0q nfr n1nd Dc dons sesy ey out thoss nss who are in prison And then St. Eli- gius adds: If you observe these things, you may appear body at Gods tribunal in the day of Judgment and say. "0ive, Lord, as we have given :"
 Now observe the controversial ef- .AD BOOKS AND -rsf1a
 feet of Newman,s superb strategy. He has nailed the particular lie about St. Tligius to the counter as Macaulay or Huxley would have done But he has done much more than that. By his patient tracing of the tradition, by his careful marshalling of all the au- thorities that support 1t, before he smashes 1t, he has created in the mind of his readers an indelible distrust of all Protestant traditions. however venerable and apparently authorita- tive. The victory is complete. The enemy is simply obliterated; his guns and baggage have fallen into the hands of the victor.

NEWTOWN

Amos L. Hawley of Hawleyville passed away at the Danbury Hospital early Thursday morning at the age of 6S. years. Mr. Hawley was one of the substantial residents of his sec ton of the country. and was highly respected and was for years engaged in the milling business. He leaves hie wife and one son, Ernest Hhwley, who have the sympathy of their many friends in their sorrow. Funeral ser vices will be conducted at the home Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Frank K. Hawley will offfclate Bur- ial will take place in Lands End cem- etery.
 The members of Hiram lodge, No. 1S.'F. & A. M., and all Masons in this vicinity have been invited to attend a service at St. Johns church. Sandy Hook, Sunday afternoon at o'clock. The sermon will be preached by Rev. O. o. Wright. and other local clergy will assist.

your souls, from punishment. while it is in your power; offer presents and tithes to churches. light candles in holy places, as much as you can af- implore the protection of the saints; for. if you observe these things, you may come with security at the day of judgment to say, Give unto us, o Lord, for we have given unto Thee! 2 With such a definition of the Chris ton character, it is not surprising that any fraud and injustice became hon. orab1e, when 1t contributed to the riches of the clergy and glory of their order"
 Now, the statement that St. Eligius ever gave "such a definition of the Christian character, is as will present ly be seen, a lie. One can readily energy Macaulay or Huxley would have bounced upon that lie, how they woud have torn it in pieces, and scor- ed heavily by exposing and denounc- ing it. No so Newman.
 Newman proceeds. while leaving the statement as yet uncontradicted to point out to the reader that Hallam gives as his reference for that state ment pr. Robertson, the historian of Charles V, and the German Lutheran historian, Mosheim. To Dr. Robert son then Newman turns and quotes d8SS 'the barbarous nations, instead of asa piring to sanctity and virtue, tmasin- ed that they satisfied every obligation of duty by scrupulous observance of external ceremonies and in support of this giving what he calls "one re- re foregoing quotation from St. Eligius, adding what he describes as ''the very proper reflection of Dr. Maclaine, Mosheim's translator: We see here a large and ample description of the character of a good Christian in which there is not the least mention of-the love of God. resignation to His will, obedience to His laws; or of justice. benevolence, and charity towards men,
 Newman now turns to a certain Mr. White, an Oxford professor, who, in featuring on the life and work of Mahomet, remarked that ''no repre- sentation can convey stronger ideas of the melancholy state of religion in the seventh century than the descrip- tion of good Christian as drawn at that period by St. Eligius," and pro- step backward carries him to Arch deacon Jortin. who made the same quotations in his Remarks on Eccle- siastical History" introducing it with the observation that 1t constitutes the sum and substance of true reli-
  guis, one of the principal saints of that age"
 Newman now takes us to Mosheim himself, who in his Ecclesiastical History" observes that while the re- ligion of the earlier Christians was spiritual, the later ones placed the Substance of religion in external rights and bodily exercises,'' and proves this by the same quotation.
 Now Newman has maneuvered his guns into positions, and he proceeds to open fire as follows:
 Brothers of the Oratory, take your last look at the Protestant Traditions. ere it melts away into thin air from before your eyes. It carries with it a goodly succession of names, Mos- helm, Jortin, Maclaifie, Robertson, White and Hallam. It extends from 1755 to the year 1888. But in this lat- ter year, when it was now seventy eight years old, 1t met with an acci- dent attended with fatal cOnsequences.

Compromise Effected on New Water

Repeal Vested in Legislature.

Madison.-A compromise has been
effected between the legislative COM
mittee on water powers and the rep
resentatiyes of the state interests and
the bill for the control of state pro-
jects finally prepared for introduce
ton at the special session of the
legislature to convene on April 80.
By the amended draft of the pro-
posed bill, the value of any water
power in the state, should its pur-
chase be desired by a municipality,
will be determined by jury and
condemnation proceedings in court.
The question, which was one of the
principal points In difference, was in
the original bill TO be determined by
the state railroad commission.
By The original draft, the repeal
of Independent permits for the con-
struction of water powers was also
voiced by the state railroad commits
sion. Under the compromise, the
power of repeal is vested in the state
legislature, to be exercised on the
recommendation of the commission.
