He takes office to-day by the will Of an over

Houses of the Congress with which he begins his
term are controlled by his party. Politically he
has an extraordinarily suspicious start
That he will need the full momentum of that
start is plain To drive into the task of meeting
The urgent reconStructive needs of the Nation will
be all the harder because Of the delay in formula
inc Inc policies OF the new President and his Adj
ninistratlon The country earnestly hopes those
policies will now be forthcoming.
The Evening World cannot approve all the ad-
viser President Harding has chosen for his Cabinet
Nevertheless it is glad that among them are men
Il can heartily approve and that upon these men
will devolve duties of highest moment to our for.
eigu relations and to our economic needs.
Mr.. Harding has already shown one highly oonH-
niendable ambton-to induce Congress to WORK
faster and to more purpose If he succeeds ever
50 little IN this aim he need fear no stint Of praise
Policies are rightly TO receive his first attention.
The first test of those policies will be the degree to
which they recognize the fact that nations are
more closely interested In one another's fortunes
Eian they we're ten years ago, and the extent to
whidl the Republican programme puts the needs
Of the whois country above the favoring of Sps-

by appralsing and analysing the char

JOHN OF TUE FOURTH GOSPEL.
In passing from the synoptio
Gospels Matthew, Mark and Luke),
to the Gospel According to st. john
we at once realize the fact that w
are in new literary and spiritual
envir"a 71ent. The style of the writer,
the treatment Of the theme, and the
wn3ie ensemble OF the work arc sud-
uenly and completely transformed.
The Jesus of Matthew, Mark and
Luke Is as different from the Jesus OF
John as the Socrates OF Xenophon Is
from the Socrates Of Plato, and the
explanation of the differences 10 found
IN the fact that John localized Jesus,
Just as Plato localized Socrates,
In other words, the Fourth Goapea
Is poem-one OF the greatest In the
World-While the other Gospels are
narrative IN character. being the
work of mere Scribes, with no vision
beyond that OF the task Immediately
at hand.
Says Renan, Johns nature was too
powerful and too deep 20 be able TO
Stoop 70 the personal tone Of the
oOner evangelists Habituated TO re-
VoiYe his souvenirs with the fever
Ism reStfeSSness of an exalted soul, he
transformed his Master, while en-
deaVoring TO dehneate him"
And we should all be devoutly
thankful for the ''transformation,"
?ust as we should rejoice over the
transformation of Socrates at tho
hands of the divine" Plato.
NO one knows the name of the man
VINO wrote the Fourth Gospel, but IL
Is almost impossible to believe that
ne was a Jew. The Gospel is the
very antithesis of the Hebrew Way
or thinking, and everything goes to
snow that the author was an Alex
andrian Creek, stepped in the SYM
oohsm OF Neo-Platonism and the
tenets of the Gnostlcs.
The author cared nothing for facts.
at least for the ground-foor facts.
They meant nothing to him. In his
mighty vision, in the broad sweep OF
his spiritual seeing, the facts disap-
peared and he saw only the eternal
truth that the facts symbonzed.
In the Jesus whoswalked about in
Galilee for some thirty years he saw
the incarnation and personification
OF the INFINITE WISDOM and
LOVE, as though he had said in so
many words:
Goodness is seated on the throne
of God, and directs His omnipotence.
II is blessedness OF all holy and hap
py beings to contemplate her, the
Supreme Beauty, and be more and

by her that the universe is attuned
and filled with harmony. She de-
