BETTER NOVEL TONE BY
AMERICAN BOOK WRITERS
Fred E. Woodward Says There Has
Been Steady Gain in Production
of Wholesome Books.

The decided improvement in the quality
OF American novels has not only in
creased the numbers of readers in Amer
lea, but the English people as well are
reading large numbers of the American
product, declared Fred E. Woodward,
during lecture last night on Recent
Tendencies in Books" 1t was delivered
at meeting of the District Library AS
ISOLATION at the Public library
Mr.. Woodward declared that fiction
formed only a small part of the Ameri-
can output. Those who think we are on
the verge of ruin. he said, because Of our
likeness Tor so-called trashy reading.
may now take courage and sit calmly
by and observe what seems to be a
steady and wholesome gain in the pro-
duction of meritorious books
After citing figures to show that since
1885 fiction furnished only 17.3 per cent
OF the total. he declared that the largest
proportional increase during the recent
years had been made in books of Sc
rious nature.
Every Home Should Have Library.
There is no doubt. declared Mr.. Wood
ward, that every form Of literature is
in state OF overproduction and there
is no disputing the fact that many pub
fishers so-called are but manufacturers
of book merchandise. He remarked that
there is q need for more people to dust
books and do 1t well, rather than more
people to write them.
He also spoke upon the good effect Of a
library in the home, no matter how small
on the future OF children. A man who
has a collection of books in his home is
paving the way for his children to become
useful citizens.
eff had my way declared Mr. Wood
ward, mo home in the city would be
without its quota of books"

The Cathedral authorities have been
successful in securing the services of the
Rev. Robert j. Johnston, d. D., rector
OF the Church Of the Saviour, Philadel-
phia, Pa, for a series of four sermons
at the open air services on the NCathe-
dral close. beginning Sunday afternoon
June Is, at o'clock. DR.. Johnston
Ii noted for his eloquence and his direct
ness. and 1t Is hoped that his sermons
will have a cumulative effect on the
congregations. DR.. Johnston's service
last year gave SO much pleasure, and
his sermon on that occasion was SO
STRAIGHTFORWARD and helpful, that the
open-air congregations have desired to
hear him again, consequently we en-
deavored to secure him for this season,
and we anticipate good results from his
work. All are cordially invited to at
Of the church or not.
The annual parish and Sunday school
excursion to Marshall Hall will take
place on Saturday, June q. The pro-
ceeds OF this excursion are for the

lily for the boys of the choir, II has al
ways been found possible to take a lin
tied number of other boys as paid
guests. thus making the camp of wider
usefulness. The camp is under the d.
rection Of the vicar. who has taken his
vacation in this way for some years
past
Regular sessions Of the Sunday school

The Rev. Henry Anstadt, pastor OF
the Luther Place Memorial Church,
speaking of the memorial tablet to the
late Rev. DR.. J. G. Butler, says: THE
memorial tablet to DR.. ]. G. Butler,
founder of this church, and pastor for
nearly forty years. has been presented
by the members of his loving family.
1t occupies most appropriate and sug-
gestive position, back of the sacred
desk where he faithfully and fearlessly,
though with sympathetic tenderness,
proclaimed the divine message which
he was commissioned to preach. May
this memorial be not merely the ex-
preston of our loving regard for him.
but a constant benediction to us as a
reminder of his devoted pastoral care
and as a lasting witness that he being
dead, yet speaketh.'
