IF THESE comments upon Mr.. Wells's
last work, God the Invisible King"
are TO be looked upon as representa-
tive in an aggregate of thoughtful readers,
it is perhaps safe to decide that this book
is being received with considerable adverse
criticism.
THE Spectator" (London) says:
"Mr. Wells felt obliged to devote the
greater part of his space to an attack upon
other explorers in the same region; and here
defect of knowledge and defect o. sympathy
have resulted in much unintentional false
witness and many deplorable lapses into bad
taste"
"The Outlook" Uondon) puts it this
way:
"Mr. Wells has not produced this picture
without much thinking; indeed he has thought
about it so furiously that he has thought him
self clean out of the sphere in which he is
competent to speak with authority, into a
field where he knows so little of his way that
he continually deceives himself, and eludes
his own judgment"
And "The Outlook" concludes its review
with a discussion of Mr.. Wells's failure to
furnish a substitute for what he has dis
carded:
THE religion that circles round finite
God, without church, authority, teacher, or
creed, comes back to the old qualities for its
sanction and its justification. But before it
takes hold upon the Imagination it must per-
force find some substitute for the machinery
it has discarded And what that substitute
is to be Mr. Wells entirely fails TO suggest.
Instead, he travels round in a circle. beating
the air with phrases and producing nothing
but momentary breeze. Mr.. Drifting must
evolve something more satisfying than this
to reconcile him to the suferings OF the
present time"
"The Nation" under the head, "The
Gospel According to Wells" feels:
There is not a grain of humility in this
new apostle. Standing in the midst of Mars
Hill he offers us copy of God the In
visible King saying in effect: Whom there.
fore ye ignorantly worship, him declare
unto you"
1.-THE Nation" insists that Mr.. Wells
teaches no critical forbearance:
Every time that he writes a book he con-
demns all its predecessors Each new mes
sage Of his cancels his previous messages.
A few years ago it was world-socinlism; a
little later IL was world-aristocracy to-day
IL is world-theocTacy. What it will be to-
morrow no man knows, but every man can

pros and cons of ragtime are still
current. Charles L. Buchanan,

rHE pros and cons Of ragtime are stilI
current. Charles L. Buchanan
writing in THE Seven Arts" IS
skeptical, though he admits quite frankly
that he 'enjoys ragtime as heartily as
good laugh" He admits that:
Ractime with its subtle, interior rhythms'
its slouchy hanging back for the infnitesimai
fraction of second on one note, its propul-
sive urging forward on another, is the uiti-
mate medium for the expression Of certain
kind of action.
But charging upon the subject Of ma
tionalism in music, and the extent to which
rag music should enter into the compost
ton of ambitious themes, Mr.. Buchanan
remarks:
To say that our future operas and sym
phonies will be written in ragtime is the
equivalent OF saying that our future poetry
and drama will be written in the colloquial-
isms Of Mr.. George NJ. Cohan. No dispar-
agement is intended either to Mr.. Cohan or
TO ragtime. Mr. Cohan's gifts are as vivid
and vital in their way as Mr.. Paderewskrs
are in his. An equitable judgment does not
emphasize the one at the expense of the
other: it accepts both for their individual
inherent worth. But it does not commit the
error of confusing the relative Importance
Of their contribution.
And again this writer is at pains to dis
tinguish between American ragtime and
the folk music, for example, Of Russia
and Germany and of Ireland. To him:
There is an irreconcilable difference be-
tween a peoples song that has grows out OF
an unsophisticated soil and pGtots Of the
pavement that has grown out of vaudevilles
and cabarets. | should no more like to thrnt
that the American temperament was con-
clusivelv revealed and summed up in this
musical slang than | should like TO think 1t
revealed and summed up in the vernacular Of
Broadway. | like to think that the
heart and backbone of this country are more
accurately expressed in the rural, wistful
lit of this folk music than it is in the kind of
sound that beats its brazen way into ones
ears above the strident glare and glamour OF
cafes and dance halls.

"The Gospel According to Wells"

gible God, God acceptable to human rea-
son; and that is hopeless endeayor. 1t has
always failed. It always will fail
Mr. Wells has fashioned an image of God
that is not without plausiblity for the intel
ligence and that radiates a comradey and
human warmth. It is touching and attractive
concept; but it is easily exhaustible; it fails
to satisfy the shrewder probings OF the
spirit.
"Mr. Wells's finite and cooperative God,
singing Onward, Christian Soldiers!' to tho
accompaniment of a kind of TRANSPORTED
Salvation Army band, offers a stirring and
dramatic picture TO the imagnation-a
heightened composite (as it may seem to the
less sympathetic of Colonel Roosevelt,
Charlemagne, Mr.. Bryan. Siegfried, Billy
Sunday and not little of Mr.. Wells him
self But it will hardly satisfy all minds"
The note of battlefield appreciation is
enthusiastically struck by Public Opin-
ion" London):
"His is no gospel for groundlings and for
those who fear to climb lest they should
tumble down. As you read Mr. Weiss book
you see Alps on Alps arise in the spiritual
Oberland, and the cleaning towers of the
Kingdom that shall be reached rise in the
sun-drenched distance.
Here is a message and a future to fight
for, and we can imagine many soldier on
the field as he reads this book saying to him
self with tears in his eyes, Well, if that is
what l am fighting for, it is worth while,
and it is not worth fighting for anything
less"
John Macy, in The Dial" (Londor) ..
comments upon Mr.. Wels's book in terms
of aviation:
an God the Invisible King the crossing
Of wires produces irritating crackles. occa-
sional flashes of light, but no steady flame
Wells discusses vast uncertainties in tone
OF cocksure gertrude. He writes of God as
he once wrote of flying machines. Wells in
his airpane sweeps over the universe at ter
rife speed, cutting figure Fights and looping
the loop just to show of and enjoy the power
of his wings, surveys the Almighty, drops
bombs into the camp OF the orthodox believer
and into the camp Of the atheist. sees at
a glance that neither can shoot straight and
comes back with a triumphant flourish of
discovery TO tell US all about il.
God only knows, his God only knows. who
gave him his credentials as authentic scribe
to the spirit of generation whic. is a CON
fusion of many spirits and which is so diver
slhed, such a contest Of physical and spiritual
forces, that no man can see it whole even
from an srplane."

The Soil

guess that it will be something different and
equally insubstantial'
In 1.-THE Seven Arts" John Dewey
writes:
an God the Invisible King Mr.. Wells has
done more than enter Canother worldO; he
has even done more than take possession. He
is cicerone, showing a flock of personally
conducted tourists all Of the interesting high
spots in this other world, a guide who is
never more glibly eloquent than when turn
ing into sight some one Of the dark and
unsolved uncertainties OF life"
Lawrence Gilman, in "The North Amer
lean Review" comments on God the In
visible King" at considerable length, and
in more conceding tone than has distin-
guished the reviews already touched upon.
But Mr.. Gilman, while lauding, in a way
the ideal enunciated by the British writer,
agrees with the latter's critics who con-
denim this book that the religion of Mr..
Drifting will hardly do. For example:
'"This God OF the Heart is a quasi-B Berg
sonan, quasi-Wi lliamjamesia being, whose
distinguishing feature is that he is "a finite
God (the italics, justly deserved, are Mr.
Wells's): a God who is, like man, an ag-
onist, who shares his struggles and his
strivngs.
This notion Of an immortal but finite Cod
copartner and fellow struggler with man,
a single spirit, person Though not, as Mr..
Wells rather naively insists, an anthro-
pomorphc being), is an undeniaby appeal
ing, harmonizing and persuasive conception.
Its ultimate sentimentalism and shallowness
effectively concealed.
at is not impossible that Mr. Wells, with
his fascinating power over the minds of so
many of us who rejoice in his intellectual
Acknowledgement, his vslor, his vision and
his savage sincerity, may thus succeed in
commencing religion TO the more impetuous
among those of his friends who constitute
the budding liberals Of our generation.
This God will be seized upon by many Of
those whose disharmony with more ancient
faith it will seem 20 resolve. For Mr.. Wells
has rendered an immense and incslculablc
service TO those whom he once so happily
called orthodox unbelievers' He has be-
queathed TO those potentially elgious mod
ems who revolt from established conceptions
Of God a rational, Ineligible substitute, as
approachable as a recruiting officer. as mod
ern, as workable. as a 1917 six-cylinder tour
ing cara God that any intelligent liberal
Of to-day can possess without shame and ex-
hibit without apology.

Heavy, heavy hangs over thy head;
What shall the owner do to redeem it,"

That hadn't grown to flower yet.
When she picked it
All the little rain-drops flew off
And made stars.
