No hOn Pictures and Church

and low deeds. Such. pictures are
a crime against art as we'll as against
morals.
What Is truly artistic is not likely
to be condemned as immoral, save
by extremists. This Us illustrated
by the fact. for example, that no
one thinks of draping the nude fig
ures in the Metropolitan Museum OF
Art. The development of artistic
appreciation is primarily the business
or the schools. on tho moral side
the efforts OF the schools are sup
plemented by the church.
A wholesome attitude toward life,
and sense OF proportion as to its
values as under uncouthness disgust
ing, wanton violence intolerable, and
lewdness and sexual promiscuity re-
pulsive. There is no quick route to
this attainment, but there is no
shorter path to a high place of social
living. The moving picture screen
reflects the prevailing social ideals
and Its standards will be raised per-
manently only as there is progress
In the life of the whole community.
The immediate duty of the
churches, considered locally would
seem to secure an Intelligent study
on the part of their members of the
problems set forth in these pages
with a view TO determining what
method of social control is best. But
without reference TO legislative pro-
posals there is a local task for every
community that has a picture thea
tire. In nearly every parish and
congregation there are men and wo-
men we'll qualified to study the mo-
ton picture situation in the local
community. The method pursued
in gathering information for the
present study Is commended to any
seeking light on the motion picture
problem.
Wherever possible an interohuroh
committee should be selected. This
committee should not only report
on conditions, but should wrestle
with the problem Of standards and
seek to develop a policy which the
community may be urged to adopt.
When the facts are in hand and
judgment as TO standards has been
formed, Il is necessary to determine |
a policy. No single right procedure |
can be prescribed, but there Is one !
that may safely be pronounced al
ways wrong. That is to launch i'm
mediately a crusade against the pic
turs exhibitors. They are part !
OF big system for which they are |
only partly responsible. They are
also members of the community. |
They may actually share. privately,
the opinions OF the investigating
committee.
In any case they will respond |
much more favorably TO an effort to-
ward community betterment that
takes them in than toward one that
Is avowedly hostile. Compulsion
should be a last resort.
All efforts should be positive and
constructive. Emphasis should be
placed on the encouragement of the
good rather than the suppression Of
the evil. And the motion picture
screen should be thought of and
talked OF not as a troublesome prob
lem but as one of the chief assets OF
the community for education and
betterment.

graceful expression. his writings ar
ford us very ample evidence. OF
his gift OF oratory he had already
achieved a certain fame for It in the
Literary Chamber of Rennes-one
of those clubs in which the intel
lectual youth OF France foregathered
to study and discuss the new philoso-
plies that were permeating official
life. But the fame he had acquired
there was hardly enviable. He was
too impish. too caustic, too much
disposed-so thought his colleagues
Ito ridicule their sublimest theories
for the regeneration of mankind.
Himself he protested that he merely
held them up to the mirror of truth,
and that Il was not his fault II when
reflected there they looked ridicu-
lous.
All that he achieved by this was
TO exasperate; and his expulsion from
a society grown mistrustful of him
must already have followed but for
his friend. Philippe de Vilmorin. a
divinity student of Rennes, who,
himself, was one of the most popu-
lar members of the Literary Cham
Der.
Coming to Gavrillac on a Novem-
Der morning, Philippe found in that
sleepy Breton village matter to
quicken his already lively indigna-
ton. A peasant, named Mabey. had
been shot dead that morning by a
gamekeeper OF the Marquis de La
Tour dAzyr. The unfortunate fell
low had been caught in the act of
taking a pheasant from a snare. and
the gamekeeper had acted under ex-
pliclt orders from his master
Infuriated by an act of tyranny so
absolute and merciless, NJ. de VII
NORM proposed to lay the matter
before NJ. de Kercadiou. Mabey was
a vassel of Gavrillac. and Vilmorin
hoped to move the Lord of Gavrillac
To demand at least some measure of
PREPARATION for the widow and the
three orphans which that brutal
deed had made.
But because Andre-Louis was
phiiippe's dearest friend, the young
seminarist sought him out in the
first instance. He found him at
breakfast and after embracing him,
deafened him with his denunciation
Of N. de La Tour d'Azyr.

Andre-Louis.

CHAPTER II
The sleepy village of Gavrillac, a
half-league removed from the main
road TO Rennes, lay in a curve OF
the River Meu.
Quintin deKercadiou, Lord OF
Gavrillac-confirme an impression
that his house conveyed. Rude as
the granite itself, he had never
sought the experience OF courts. He
left It to his younger brother,
Etienne. to represent the family in
those exalted spheres. His own in
terests from earliest years had been
centered in his woods and pastures.
He kept no state commensurate with
his position or with the tastes OF his
niece, Aline de Kercadlou. Allne, |
having spent some two years In the
SQUIRT atmosphere OF Versailles un-
Ter the aegis of her uncle Etienne,
had ideas very different from those

He was born with a gift OF
laughter and a sense that the world
was mad. And that was all his pat
rimony. His very paternity was OBJ
scure, although the village of Cav
rillac had long since dispeiled the
cloud of mystery that hung about it.
Those simple Brittany folk were not
so simple as to be deceived by a pre-
tended relationship which did not
even possess the virtue of originality.
When a nobieman announces him
self the godfather of an infant
fetched no man knew whence, and
thereafter cares for the lads rear
ing and education, the most unso-
phisticated of country folk perfectly
understand the situation. And so
the good people Of Gavrillac per-
mitted themselves no illusions on the
score of the real relationship between
Andre-Louis Moreau---as the lad had
been named-and Quintin de Ker-
cadiou, Lord of Gavillac.
Andre-Louis had made the most
of his opportunities. You behold
him at the age Of four-and-twenty
stuffed with learning enough TO pro-
duce an intellectual Indigestion in an
ordinary mind.
In body he was a slight wisp of a
scarcely above middle height, |
with a lean. astute countenance, |
prominent of nose and cheek bones, |
and with lank, black hair that
almost to his shoulders. His
mouth was long, thin-lipped. and |
humorous. He was only just re-
deemed from ugliness by the splen-
dor of pair of ever-questing, lu-
eyes, so dark as TO be al
