Comfort of Old Books.

If during the war it almost seemed
to some people that nothing written
before 1914 had kept Its old value.
they may, on the contrary, soon find
themselves blinking at books written
since then. MathematicianS distin-
guished carefully between systematic"
error, which is cumulative, and the
casual errors which are as likely TO
lie in one direction as the other and in
the long run tend to offset each other.
To the reader who is beginning to re-
cover a deranged critical faculty the
trouble with most of what has been
written since 1914 is that ii contains
a systematic error due TO the perturba-
tions set up by the great war. The
comfort of the old books. on the con-
trary, lies in the fact that they were
not written with the great war lurking

Geneva. On August 10, 1885, Geneva
formally adopted Protestanisrn.
A year later, John Calvin, q refugee
from France, stopped at Geneva, IN
tending to remain there only one night.
Favel induced him to protract his visit.
In 1888 the opposition succeeded in
having Favel and Calvin expelled; but,
although Favel never returned, Calvin
went back in 1541, and gained such an
oScendancy that he was soon enabled
to set up a theOcratic form of govern

was the capital of a French depart
