The Basis for Brotherhood" was
the subject OF DR.. Lyons discourse at
the Y. NJ. c. A. meeting to-day. The
text Of the sermon is found in Matthew
23-S. For one is your master; and all
ye are brethren
1he common tendency OF man is to-
wards differentiation but there is an
other force, commonality, he said.
counteracting this which brings men
together for common cause.
OF the latter force he talked at con.
siderable length pointing out the DIFF
ferent agencies such rs political par
ties. lodges and all organizations Of
society which bring men together upon
many questions more or less common
10 all, but he laid down the broad
principle that In the abstract there Is
no brotherhood of man. but only the
brotherhood of Christ on which all can
Unite.
He discussed the question OF munich
pal government at some length and
stated that one great danger in this
country was the failure OF our system

their corrupt governments.
He sounded warning in regard 10
the world wide force that was taking
many people over to the cause ol So
cialism, not as political issues, ii. stat.
cd, but from general belief that there
is something wrong somewhere. He
stated that these must be some mid

which men must get together. He
pointed out the fallacy OF such men as
Woodrow Wilson. LaFollette, and The.
adore Roosevelt belonging TO three po-
liiical parties when they had so many
ideas in common. He also asked by

The novelist is he who, having seen life,

Is like other artists, he canno. remain
silent: he cannot keep himself to him

bound to tell-the affair Is too thrilling!
Only he differs from most artists in this
that what strikes him most of all Is
the indefinahle humanness of human ma

luton from the primitive. And you can
see primitive nOvelists to this day trans

belong to the lowest circle OF artists:
but they are artists: and tho form that
they adopt is the very basis OF the novel.
BY innumerable entertaining steps from
them, you may ascend to the major artist
whose vision Of life. inclusive. intricate
and intense. requires for its due trans

novel as perfected by the masters OF a
long age which has temporarily set the
