The Fifth Mon
arChy Men,
By REV. T. B. GREGORY.

"WO HUNDRED AND FIF-
Try THREE years ago 80
men, headed by barrel
maker named Venner, marched
upon the city of London with the
purpose of capturing 1t, overturn-
ing the authorities, and making
Jesus King. Evidently the Lon
doners did not relish such mix
ing UP of Church and State, for
most Of the so were either killed
or taken prisoners, and ten days
later Venner and sixteen others
were executed.
The Fifth Monarchy Men," as
these poor, deluded fanatics
called themselves. originated
about the year 1915. Ardent sup
porters of Cromwell's Govern
ment, they held that the Protect
or was to be the John the Bap-
fist of the Fifth Monarchy" the
blessed condition which was to
succeed the Assyrian, Persian,
Greek and Roman nominations,
during which Christ should reign
with the saints on earth for a
thousand years.
They went the full length of
their convictions, and just before
their attempt upon London de-
clared themselves as subject to
no one but King Jesus"
Cromwell did not enthuse as
ardently as they thought he
ought to, and the Fifth Monar-
Chy Men began political agitation
against him. They even went
so far as to enter in conspiracies
against him. OF course, Crom-
well was not a man to be trifled
with, and the fanatics were
given a lesson that quoted them
for a time. But, still nourishing
their plans, they waited until the
NOullIl5 VI Iue MERRY IHoHdIE0,
Charles the Second, when they
made the crazy attempt upon
London.
The Fifth Monarchy Men have.
their modern representative in
the "Millerites,' or Adventists,
who are still waiting patiently
for the Second Coming" and the
reign of the Saints with King
Jesus" at their head. 1t is not
meant that the present-d day Ad-
ventis+s are such fanatics as were
their progenitors of the seven
teenth century. In their snug
homes around Battle Creek, and
with their renowned sanitarium
in the up-to-date Michigan town,
the descendants of the Fifth Mon

a REvERE NCE for titles is
~ born in the English blood
and it permeates the men
tally Of that nation.
At the same time the English
people demand more of a man
and woman Of title before admit
ting them to their favor than do
our American society circles! We
have many cases of bogus Lords
and Dukes, Counts and Barons,
who have become social lions,
and even married women of good
family before they were un-
masked.
Such an occurrence is unknown
in England, for they have their
literature of caste, and no man
would dare assume title there
without facts to substantiate the
claim. The pretenders come to
America, where they know they
can find an entree to our best
society" in many parts OF the
land merely through our craze for
the titles which we pretend to
despise.
But in England when a man or
woman bears a title, especially
q title which has descended from
father to son for several genera
lions, or centuries, he is sure to
receive a peculiar obeisance from
the "commoner." which no amount
of money or intellect could OBJ
tain for him without the title.
A very enterprising and pro-
gressivo Englishman expressed
concern at the unorthodox relig-
ious tendencies of a friend.
This friend. an American. is a
theosophist, and the kindly
hearted Englishman, being devot
ed to the Church of England and
being most conservative by ma
ture, begged his friend TO be
careful about expressing her pa
gan ideas, lest she make herself
unpopular
Then one day she unfolded to
him q surprising fact-an Eng
lish lady bearing an honored
name, granddaughter of an earl,
daughter of an earl and sister
of an earl. was an avowed theos-
ophist, and she had asked the
American lady to lunch because
of her pagan ideas. Whereupon
the nice, kindly hearted English
man ceased 10 be anxious. for
though he might not accept the
pagan ideas for himself, he felt
they gained certain dignity
from being accepted by the dis
tinguished descendant OF two
earls.

And the result was that the bril-
liant daughter of Owen Meredith
became an earnest. devout and
serious Theosophist.
Every day she reads little and
talks a little to her young chill
dren of this philosophy. and each
one of the four young minds has
received the underlying facts and
principles as a basis for building
the beautiful Tower of Faith later
and as a Radiant Center from
which to receive Power and Pur-
pose from the Universe.
Lady Lutyens is editor of The
Dayspring, the organ of the
Philosophical society known as
the Order of the Star in the East.
This order has been founded to
draw together those who, wheth-
er inside or outside of the 7, s..
believe in the near coming of a
great spiritual teacher for the
helping of the world. II is thought
that its members may, on the
physical plane. do something to
prepare public opinion for His
coming and to create an atmos-
phere of welcome and of rever-
ence: and. on the higher planes,
may unite in forming an instru-
ment of service ready for His
use. The Declaration OF Princi-
pies. acceptance of which is all
that is necessary for admission to
the order, is as follows:
I. We believe that a great
Teacher will soon appear in the
world, and we wish so to live now
that we may be worthy to know
Him when He comes.
.. We shall try, therefore. to
keep Him in our minds always
and to do in His name. and there
fore to the best OF our ability, all
the work which comes to us in
our daily occupation.
3. AS far as our ordinary duties
allow, we shall endeavor to de-
vote a portion OF our time each
day 10 some definite work which
may help to prepare for His COM
ing.
4. We shall seek to make devo-
ton. steadfastness and gentleness
prominent characteristics in our
daily life.
5. We shall try to begin and
end each day with short period
devoted to the asking of His
blessing upon all that we try to
do for Him and in His name.
s. We regard il as our special
duty to try to recognize and rev.
erence greatness in whomsoever
shown and TO strive to cooperate,
so far as we can, with those
whom We feel to be spiritually our
superiors.

Do You Know How
to Enjoy Art?
From EDWIN MARKHAM.
TOWARD HOWARD GRIGGS.
the distinguished lecturer


the distinguished lecturer
and essayist, sends out
through B. w. Huehsch, OF New
York. an earnest and ennobling
book called ''The Philosophy OF
Art" His preface opens the way
to clear thinking regarding the
uses of art:
Consider the behavior of per-
sons wandering through gallery
OF painting, saying, Il like this, or
dislike that as II they had the
right TO like or to dislike until
they have appreciated and I'M
derstood what of human thought
and feeling is there given, and
with what measure of adequacy
and harmony.
Listen TO a group Of painters
commenting upon the pictures of
a gallery. OF what do they speak;
of the way that landscape rests
and Gains the spirit; Of the
sweep OF humanity In this por-
travail Of common life? No; but
Of the skill with which the light
ing is handled here; the fault
in the composition there, the
method Of putting on his Colors
which this painter has employed,
Il Is natural: they are constantly
working with these technical
problems. and thus they look for
the handling of them in the work
of others The result, however,
is the focusing of their attention
almost wholly on the means en-
ployed.
sit behind a group OF musical
artists during the rendering of a
Beethoven symphony or Wagner
opera. DO they speak of the power
of the music to sweep one out
onto the bosom of the sea of emo
ton, TO refresh the spirit and
give the vision of the ideal? No,
but Of the skill with which that
high note was struck; the admira-
BILE rendering OF his difficult pas
sage by the Niolins, the tault IN
conductors reading of that other
passage.
Indeed, il is even possible for
the mind to become so absorbed
In the analysis Of technique as ac-
tually TO lose in power of appre
citation.
This need not happen and
ought not TO happen, but the fact
that Ii does occur shows how far
the mastery and exhibition OF
technical skill is from the true
air Of art. No. art is not for
techniques sake, any more than
It is for adornment sake, or
preaching's sake.
These three misconceptions
stand In the way of our right use
of art to-day; and We must
overcome them 10 make our con-
tribution as a people and to give
art the place IL should occupy IN
our culture. Art Is serious bust
ness. beauty is the most useful
thing We know, the ideal IL no
less real than the coarseSt ma
terial enc. Art is for ife's sake
