De-Moralizing Chesterfield

Honeyed phrases viii land you bonus
Never raise your voice at the table; the

The world is, as you see, held together
by this cunning called politeness and its
pimpled pleiades. 1t is social glue. Peace
treaties are Of no consequence; it is the
bow that lasts. Ii Cain had not been so
rude to his brother they would have COM

lowing for a good many years the words

make cads and towards of us all Phil

But the letters themselves, even in their
de-moralized state, are great masterpieces
of irony. 1t is probable that the Earl I'D
not consciously intend to give to the world
the most immoral, facilitating and man.

the most terrible Indictment of organized
society Of which we have any knowledge
1t is pure social Machiavellism from first

If the fabric of society has to be kept

The London Bookmdn thus guesses
about Hugh Walpole: Reading about
Trellis Tin Mdrddick at Forty one would
say Mr.. Walpole was a Cornishman, if
it were not for the fact that when you
are reading about London in his books
you are sure that he is a Londoner,
When you have decided, on such internal
evidence, first that he is a Cornishman,

there is this profound line written by that
hardly Known philosopher, Civilization is

curious and gnomic axioms, such as, if
we remember correctly, "To climb prop

lying" "a gentleman never looks out of
a window" 1.-THE latter was repeated with
out quotation marks by Oscar Wilde; but

Dildah was a cynic-that is, he thought

Chamfort, Ambrose Bierce and many of

beginning a political career in the
New York Assembly as his father
began back in 1881, following also IN
his footsteps in his attitude toward
the Church.
In religion, as in all his other be-
liefs, the former president was ortho-s
dox. He had little patience with
hair-splitting thcoiogians. Instead,
he favored the old time worship OF
Jesus Christ, with its sincere prayers
and hearty congregational singing.
His best friend would not have cred
tied him with a melodious voice; but
when the organ started, he grasped
the hyrnnal firmly and with all the
vim and energy which he was wont
/, to put into his every act, his voice
rumbled the message of the anthem.
He believed firmly in the influence
of religion in the affairs OF the world,
and counted that man lax in his duty
who did not believe in something;
and, believing, failed to set an ex-
ample through the faith that was in
him, by openly processing that belief
This is recalled by the fact that the
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt of to-
day, has just given public testimony
to his belief in the potency or re-
Hgion in meeting the vital problems
which the world faces.
The young Colonel Roosevelt was
invited recently to address meeting
in behalf Of the Every Name CAM
paign of the Episcopal Church,
which is the contribution of the Dio-
cese of New York to the Episcopal
Nationwide Campaign to arouse
the Christian citizenship Of the ma
ton. Previous engagements pre-
vented Colonel Roosevelt from ac-
cepting the invitation, but he dis
patched this message to the Conn
mittee in charge of the Campaign: !.

movement to vitaliZe the churchesl
lat this time in the history OF our
country the prime need is for action
and education. The Church which
sets itself apart from the ordinary
everyday life of the individual rele-'
gatss itself to the ornamental class.
We need the practical demonstration,
of the ethical teachings of religion
brought to the home and community
life in this country"
And that is what the Every Name

designed to do.
