Leigh Hunts Style.

John KEBLE called Leigh Hunts style
'the most vicious of all styles. the
style of Mr. Leigh Hunt and his miser-

a good judgment Far wiser is that of

THE existing Old Hall, which succeeded

which is gained through a narrow arched
way leading from Chancery lane, dates
from 1889 and is now the oldest building

Dickens describes in the opening chapter
of BLEAK House." when he introduces
"Jarndyce and Jarndyce," that picture Of
Chancery delays and abuses. This imag-
mary case was inspired by an actual suit
heard in Lincolns Inn Hall, known as the
Great Jennens Case" which commenced
long before Dickens was born and out
lived him by many years. Next in age TO

into Chancery lane. which dates from

at least eight hundred more which do not

not TO be had. but it would be a conservative
siderably over million in number and
their ranks are growing with striking
rapidity. Signs are not wanting of crys-
tallization into something that can only
be called a new church. either entirely in
dependent or as a sect Of Christians. Prob
ably one reason why a central organiza-
ton has not yet emerged is that there is
a tendency to make Spiritualist beliefs
merely a part of a modified orthodoxy:
an addition to Christian creeds rather than
any contravention of them. The growth
of Spiritism inside the old churches has
attracted no small amount of comment
and created much uneasiness in more than
one denomination. Another reason is that
thus far they have lacked a leader: they
need a new prophet another Mrs Eddy or
Joseph Smith, TO unite them The Rev Dl.

The Boyhood of Ernest Renan.

LIS father was a sea captain who had
IL lost in his old age the savings of a
laborious life in unwise commercial ven-
lures. When he died at sea rather mys-
teriously in 1928 his widow was left with
hardly any property and two children
Henriette, aged II, and little Ernest, II
years younger But Henriette saved the
family; her little earnings as a teacher
and later as a goyerness in a Polish
castle made it possible to give her
brother the best opportunities. 1t had
been taken for granted that he would be-
come priest; his intelligence and gen.
tleness, his lack of strength, his poverty
and the traditions of his family, did not
seem to leave any alternative. He re-
ceived his first education in the excellent
cathedral school of Treguier and achieved
so much success that he was called in
1888 to the seminary of Saint Nicolas
du Chardonnet in Paris, then being reor-
ganized. Four industrious years in Saint
Nicolas promoted him naturally to the
greater seminary of Saint Sulpice to carry
on higher studies.-From the Nineteenth
Century.
"Story Interest" versus Significance"
THE story which began as a game and
remains game for many becomes
for others a high and serious art. The
two phases coexist, and even to-day crit
icism hovers uneasily between the two
conceptions. 1t is aware of two standards
of judgment, and is uncertain which to
apply. And there is some reason for the
hesitation. For. though it seems that We
can make clean logical cut between the
story interest and the significance of the
novel, as soon as We attempt to apply
the knife we find we are operating upon
a living and organic whole. The novel
is something greater than its story,
indeed, but can the greater thing exist
without the lesser? Is not the story the
skeleton which holds the flesh and blood
and tissue of the novel together? Re
volving some such unanswered question
in it's mind. criticism confronts the novel
to-day. - From THE Break Up of the
NoUel" By j. Middleton Murry in the
