the form Of a novel and with glowing
romantic fancy the native Arab aspect
Of the italian war I'm T'ripoi These
Young and enthusiastic authors are i'm
bued with that poetic fondness for
Islam that adds such charm to The
works of Thtophue Gauter FTomentin
and Pierre Lott. Like many cultivated
Parisians. they have a passionate love
for what they call the colonies shat
is 10 say. the Levant. the orient and
the Far East-but they detest "colo-
niza,ion" with. its inelegant, matter
of-fact hustle and scramble. Jerome
and Jean Tharaud differ from Gautier
and Lott in that they seek a practical
solution for the problem arising from
the conflict between the civilizations Of
the European ead Of the Arab.
I'm their latest novel, La Fete
Arabe." published by Emile Paul, the
Tharaud brothers have adopted a
method Of direct narrative somewhat
like that so effectively employed by
Mrs. stowe in "Uncle TOMS Cabin
The characters of the novel are
strongly and picturesqueiy drawn. The
daily life Of the Arabs in their little
village Of Ben-Nezouh, on the high
plateau Of Tripoh as it existed twenty
wears ago. IS described with great
charm and with masterful knowledge
Of Oriental ways The natives were
happy. and all went on IN a delightful,
bucolic. patriarchal. Scrlptural manner
as thew cultivated their date palms
and tended their goats. There were
yery few "colonists," but the most in
nuential man of the village was re-
tired French army surgeon. who had
adouted Arab customs and habits and
who becomes chief Of the townsfolk.
The French surgeon instructs The
voung Arabs. a local railroad IS built
and all sorts OF modern improve
ments" are introduced, without, how
ever. destroying the Arab character Of
the village. There is wave OF pros
perity. But finally swarms of colonists
arrive. and European civilization
takes Ben Nezouh by storm.
The retired French surgeon IS 10.
placed by the interruptions Gonzaivc4,
who looks upon the Arabs merely as 20
many beasts Of burden and machines
for making money for himself and his
hand of adventures. Whereupon
everything goes wrong. The inherent
fighting elements Of the Arabs are
aroused. Fanaticism and massacres
ensue. The solution suggested by the
authors is the method employed by the
retired French army surgeon, which
may be described as that Of peaceful
nenetration." but which, unfortunately.
according TO the experience OF the last
few wears in North Africa, seems to be
1'topian. The novel is replete with de-
ugbtful descriptions Of the people and
Of the country. and the romantic,
ouixotic. childlike characters Of the
Arabs. often concealed by their squalor
and by their vices, are effectively de-
veloped. = J. D.

elsewhere, for one OF his ancestors on
learning OF the issuing OF The decree OF

so other strangers than the police are

Thus there are plots and counterplots,

Billy Sunday has arrived in Fargo
and will remain there six weeks con-
Quoting revival meetings. A Fargo
paper gives the following quotations
from Sunday that he gave in his first
service: wouldn't buy a cents worth
from a crooked merchant. 1t is hard
for the honest merchant to compete
with the scoundrel in business. You
cannot be sons of God if you reject
him. You may be Gods creatures, not
his sons. A church with out the Holy
Spirit is but. brick and walls with a
pipe organ and a little preacher doing
his little stunt twice aday. If the pool
rooms can close on one Sunday they can
close every Sunday. If Fargo can run
without the red light district for five
or six weeks then it can run all the
time without it. l have no compromise
with sin and Satan. Square your life
with the bible and you will know
whether the bible is true or not. The
devil can so disguise himself that no
one can recognize him. Would you
really like to have the people of this
community see you as God e e you.
Some people in the church appear as
though they want a personal salvation
and they don't a r whether any one else
is saved or not. Some people look upon
the amount of money theyapay to the
| church as so much insurance laid away
to prevent future burnings. Now it
takes 5000 sermons to convert one red
nosed sinner when 5000 men were o N
verted by sermon at Pentecost. In
some churches there isn't enough steam
to blow the whistle and sound the bat

to grease the wheels for q revival meet
