Modern Composers
COMPOSERS. BY Dan
Gregory Mason. Tho Macmillan Company.

CONTEMPORARY COMPOSERS. BY Daniel
Gregory Mason. Tho Macmillan Company
Mr.. Mason's latest book is valuable
contribution to the safe and sane in
music. 1t is, on the whole, however,
more successful in it's generaliza-
tions than in its appreciation of
particular composers, and even in
its CONGRATULATIONS there is laying Of
too much stress upon the superiority
of the intellect over the emotions. Mr..
Mason is stupendous admirer Of Vim
cent d'Indy, but there are few outside
of the Partisan ultra Catholic cenacle
who would subscribe whole -heartedly
to his admiration for this master Of
the dry-as-dust. Mr.. Mason seems to
be attracted by d'Indy because of his
distrust of instructive emotion-emo-
tion which he believes has led modern
music into the slough of unrestraint.
He apparently places d'Indy above De-
busy, though he pays we'll deserved
praises him for insisting or subtle
quality rather than Overwhelming
quantity, thereby becoming one Of the
most beneficial of influences against
vulgarity of the bumptious type. But
when he brands Debussy as the musi-
clan most beloved by the unmusical we
can but gasp at the ability of dialectic
to overcome common sense!
Mr.. Mason also erects shrine to
Sir Edward Elgar, and declares that
the English composers First Sym.
phony is MASTERPIECES, Sir Edward
is indeed an accomplished musician
but his American admirer does seem
to be led step too far, but here again
by his dislike of the modern worship
of sensuous beauty His chapter on
Richard Strauss is the most successful
of the four devoted to particular COM
posers. "Strauss," he declares, sis a
rather extreme case Of the active tenn
permanent, a man of positively explo-
sive nervous energy; and again, "for
one reason and another, then-tem
perament, environment, the enervatlon
of the operate atmosphere, with its
constant quest of effect-the fresh and
vital elements in Strauss's art have
more stale conventional and specious
ones. Particularly has he failed OF his
highest achievement when desire for
immediate appeal, the bias of an over
active mind, or the fallacies Of a
one sided aesthetic have led him too
far from the subjective notion which
is truly the soul of music" This is
sound criticism.
Mr.. Mason is on the whole effective
in his condemnation Of those who find
IN ragtime the truly American music:
"Ragtime," he writes, "is the musical
expression of an attitude toward life
only too familiar to us all, an attitude
shallow, restless. avid of excitement,
incapable of sustained attention, skim
ming the surface of everything, find
ing nowhere satisfaction, realization
or repose." This is a severe but a
true indictment of modern American
metropolitan life, but even here Mr..
Mason apparently is unable to feel its
possibilities Of development Rag
time as it is to-day is all that he says
it is, but it lives, and all life is capable
of being enjoyed.
Mr.. Mason has written thoughtful
and. in the main, a readable book but
he lacks a little in the philosophy Of
cakes and ale. G. V.

two sections to the Apostolic Age and
to the development as far as Constan-
tine, one section of the Imperial State
Church and two sections to the Middle
Ages. The last two chapters deal re-
spectively with the Reformation and
the transition to the modern religious
situation. That the abundant material
should have been brought within the
scope of volume of little over six hum
dred pages, and so judicious ba.ance
preserved, is in keeping with the ex-
pcctations of students acquainted with
our authors earlier productions.
In the spirit of exact science the
modern historian of the Church is re-
quired to report on facts rather than
to labor thesis. For as the illustrious
hereto, NJ. Loisy, was not long ago
saying, one cannot write history at the
bidding OF u theological principle This
fidelity may result in the loss Of few
privately worshipped idols, as when
Professor Walker convinces us that the
relation of the Apostles Greed to the
Apostles themselves was q much medi-
atcd connection, or that the Apostolic
Fathers were SO called because Of the
erroneous notion that they had been
personal disciples of the Apostles, or
that the threefold order in the ministry
is an institution foreign to the primi-
tive Church. The central significance OF
the Reformation, as this scholar sees it,
is in the breakdown of the Sacramental
principle. AS for the long story of the
Church, with its achievements and fail
ures, it is u revelation of the divine
life marVellous!y transforming the lives

A Prince of the Church
The Life Story of the First

TIE LIFE OF JOHN CARDINAL MCLosKEY,
First Prince of the Church In America. 1910
1855. BY His Eminencc John Cardinal Farley
Svo. pp. Kill. 4Ol. Longmans. Green x Co.
After many defermcnts due to the
demands of official station Cardinal
Farley has now been able to complete
the life narrative of a Prince of the
Church whom he intimately knew and
for whose memory he has retained
affectionate reverence. The result is a
biography that will have significance
for every churchman alive to the
power and prospects of the Catholic
Church in the United States. On his
way to describing the character and
activities of his former chief, the au-
thor gives an engaging picture of Cath
olic conditions in the day Of small
things, Liberty for Catholic worship
in the State of New York was not
achieved until 1854. The first church
was built on land purchased from
Trinity Corporation and with the aid
Of money solicited in Mexico and South
America. The Spanish minister, Diego
do Gardoqui, secured for the project .

Ann Bayley-after to be known
in religion as Mother Seton-was con-
verted and baptized. At the same font
the infant John McCloskey was bap-
tized in 1910, and it was in the same
parish that he was later to come under
the strong and manly influence of DR..
Power and to receive impulses affecting
all his after career.
Despite the distance in time, some
vivid impressions are afforded Of young
McCloskey's student life at Mount St.
Mary's, Emmitsburg,. and particularly
Of his two years of study in Rome
The Eternal City exerts it's spell upon
the seminarian, with a consequent
deeping of the historic sense, accom-
panied with the altogether practical
grace of a growing urbanity toward
dissenters. One of the choice things
Of the present volume is page in fac

Conzaga. There is poignant spiritual
sincerity in the utterances. prophetic
of the authority which he was later to
WELD as a shepherd of souls. On re-
turning to his native land the young
priests promotions come steadily.
When he is thirty three years old he
is made bishop coadjutor to the re-
doubtable Bishop Hughes of New York.
Four years later he goes to the diocese
Of Albany as its first bishop, to remain
there until his appointment in 1864, as
Archbishop of New York.
1t is Of an ecclesastic that His
Eminence Cardinal Farley has writ
ten; priest who modestly went about
doing the immediate duty, securing the
proprietary rights of the Church
against an irresponsible trusteeism,
prom oting a great diocesan seminary,
completing the building of St. Patrck's $
Cathedral, that veritable product Of
"the pennies of the poor" and coming
at length to the distinction of being
the first Cardinal in the American
Church. But in Cardinal McCloskey
there was always something beyond
the mere ecclesiastic. The old lady
who in a London art gallery once
gazed at a much admired portrait of
another Cardinal and exclaimed, "But
where is the love of God ?" would have
had no such question to PROFOUND con-
corning this churchman of whom his
distinguished and beloved biographer
tells us: cardinal McCloskey was
above all, and through all, and in all.
a man of God. He never sought the
applause of the world or the honors
of the Church. Life's great ends
were his constant thoughts"
