When the spirit of controversy or
contest appears among clerics of the
Presbyterian faith one Is reminded
of John Calvin, OF whom Boudoin
said that he would rather live with
Beza In he'll than in heaven with
Calvin.
There is at present going on in this
city q more or less bitter and covert
war over the disposition Of most Valu-
able church property in which the
prosecuting mental attitude of the
fellow student of the founder Of the
society of Jesus has been nanifestly
aroused, even TO the point of the
hardness Of nature and the GOODNESS
which Calvin displayed In his his
toric contest with the hapless
seryetus, his opponent
And it is unavoidable that those OF
Scotch Descent among the Presby-
terrain. clergy, whether In Newark OF
elsewhere, cannot divest themselves
of the uncomprcmising spirit which
at all times distinguished one who so
largely moulded the traditions of the
country where their ancestors lived.
Martin Luther said of Calvin:
Even If he should call me q. devil,
should recognize him as an eminent
servant of God"
This proves that II Calvin had
well-cultivated genius for making
enemies. he had, also, bound to his
side many friends, and this Is the case
with the principal, on one part, in the
Newark controversy of which we
speak.
Calvin, surnamed THE Aceusative
Case" from hunlanisu advanced to
reformation through his devotion to
Holy Scripture. He, In his enforced
departure from France. reached Basel,
where he took refuge. There he met

THEORY OF THE ORIGIN
OF THE FOUR GOSPELS

of material for his story, so Phaedrus
determines TO go to Palestine to find
out about the new Master who has
been mobbed to death in Jerusalem,
and who has left not single written
word behind him.
When Phaedrus learns that the
twelve apostles have also been over
taken by violent death he conceives
the idea that they must have few
friends who would give him many
"Reminiscences of Jesus. TO collect
these Phaedrus makes his way to the
Nile, the Jordan and the, Tigris, ever
looking. for secret disciples who have
preserved now a parable, now u
proverb, now Il letter and now a pa
pyrus roll.
He gathers the "reminiscences OF
shepherds, soldiers, artisans and fish
ermen and brings back to the mer-
chants house In Ephesus priceless
assortment written on bits of leather,
goatskin, parchment, inscriptions on
wood and metal, In three languages
and from many landsa full Memoir
abilia OF jesus.
Some will think DIR Hillis's theory
revolutionary, put none viii deny
that 1t represents the last word from
the viewpoint of men like Deissmann,
Harnack, GFenfel and the other ex-
perts who are interpreting and trans
lating the thousands of rolls that
within the last ten years have been
dug up in the Far East. All. too. will
be agreed that The Story OF Phaedrus
wholly aside from its historical value,
is absorbingly interesting. It is pub
lished by the Macmillans.

Poems. Fourth Edition, Show Genius
Remarkable for the Rare Perfection of His Technique
and Metrical Form and the Elevation and Pur-
Z ...t - ity of His Thought


We have befQre. in these columns
spoken of the signs of the Renaissance
of poetry in the world. These poems
Of Mr.. Johnson are another proof Of
1t. Throughout this book of lyrics it
may be said that there is no work
that is not of the highest quality and
OF the most satisfactory metrical
form Indeed, in refinement of tech
nique the poet Is q master, and often
his rythm, reminds one in it's sim
plicity and grace of. the lyrics OF an
older time.
Like all true poets, Mr.. johnson
gives new life to all that he touches.
His fantasy is always full OF fresh
ness and spontaneity, and in his
grander compositions he rises to "a
height rarely achieved but by the
supreme masters of verse Perhaps
no greater praise has been bestowed
upon this poet than that OF the critic
of the London Saturday Review the
most influentiarcriti journal in the
world. !.
1t says: These poems are marked
by great beauty in thought and ex-
preston, and in the music OF the
verse forms" Mr. Johnson's sonnet
to "Music and Love" is classic al
most, In it's construction, and full OF
haunting, imaginative ideas. Here
It Is:

STRENGTH OF THE CHURCH
IN SERVICE, NOT DOCTRINE
True Bearing of Christian Social Ideals to Be Discussed
by the Clergy of Newark in the important
May Conference.

Last week the Evening Star gave
the program of the social conference
to be held in this city in May. Per-
maps the clergy, who are deeply con-
cerned in the results OF this cor
ference. will not take 1t amiss IL
there are called to their attention two
books recently published by the Mac
millans, which deal with Christian
and social ideals. We have studied
these books. and it seems to US
that they contain hints Of great
value. both to the clergyman and to
the social reformer.
The books referred to are Social
Ideallsm and the Changing The
ology," by DR.. Gerald BlnneY Smith.
and "ChristianiZing the Social Order. ="
by DIR. Walter Rauschenbusch.
DR. Smith. in his survey of the
world and Christian effort. sees only
one hope for the Church. that hone
wing in the adoption of az intelligent.
sympathetic, and, above ALL ener-
getic attitude towards the social
problems Of the age.
Service the Church's Hope.
The strength of the church Is not
In doctrine, but In service. But,
strange to say, though. the problems
of this age are of the most comp. K
character, the overwhelming scientific
and industrial spirit which dominates
everywhere and nowhere more than
In cities Ike Newark comp / ating
them In the sme st perplexing fashion.
Yet, in spite Of this, in defiance gifts
true mission, the church has in no
age been more apathetle to the de-
mands of the situation.
The earth Is mans home, as DR..
Smith says, ana 1t is mantle thy the
duty of the church, above all other
agencies, to attempt to make it fit
home. But, as DR. Smith ad s,
theology has not yet thrown aside
that "other worldl!n ss' the Legacy
of the early church The modern
church and its ministers have no

itself to a more or less weak distribu-
tion of charity, such as is observed In

Love his own sigh to breathe upon

From heart too full, and, like the

Nor mornings song, nor noon s rich

Nor the old mysteries evening whis-

But when the voice is echoless, the
hand
Long empty, then, o welded harp
