ARIUS THE LIBYAN. BY Nathan
G. Kouns. Introduction by Nicholas
Murray Butler. d. Appleton & Co.
"HE need of a new edition OF
this "medicated" historical
romance. dealing with the
Christianity of the early fourth CEN
tury, is perhaps significant of the
trend of the day toward some sort
of religious revival. There is a grow
ing interest in matters spiritual that
apparently extends TO some study of
primitive church history. First is
sued in 1888, the book has been here
tofore twice reprinted. though it has
never attained any wide popularity,
such as that of Ben Hur" 1t is
hardly a classic, or in the same
category as Kingsley's "Hypatia,"
considered primarily as an historical
novel, as it has some clements of the
tract. Its view of the life of that era
oyeremphasizes the communistic
tendency. 1t is, nevertheless, a color
full. animated view of that curious
transitional period, Of the days OF
Constantine. 1t is eminently worth
reprinting in its present substantial

of its monsters still drag their un-
wieldy bulk across parts OF the sys-
TENS OF education surviving, even in
America, and. probably to a greater
degree, in England. The dinosaur
that she goes cunning for in this
book is appropriately labelled as
humbug.
She finds her text in Samuel But
ler's dictum that the Church cate
chism has a good deal to do with the
unhappy relations that commonly
even now exist between parents and
children. I should like to
see children taught that they should
not say they like things which they
do not like merely because certain
other people say they like them, and
how foolish il is to say they believe
this or that when they understand
nothing about it 1t is painfully
true that, for example, the religious
emotions whicn every we'll brought
up child was scheduled 20 manifest
a generation or so ago were respon-
sible for an appalling degree of un-
happiness and mental and moral
strain. There was-and still is-also
the usual conspiracy of silence and
suppression of information between
parents and children.
Mrs. Delafield handles that theme
a little ponderously in this book in
the case Of an unhappy child. Lily.

to have been on sale at the place.
Adach was given severe grilling

numbers that would open the big

Meantime, seal has been placed
on the safe by Constable H r. Ell
wood and all the wise men Of Fair
field and vicinity have been called in
to consultation as to what shall be
done TO obtain the evidence suppos-

walls and which would convict Adach.
Adach is being held in bonds of $500,
for another hearing Thursday. This
is the second time that his place, al
legged to have a bad reputation, has
been raided.
Prosecutor Bacon wakeman when
asked today if the safe had been
opened replied in the negative and
said that he did not know just what
would be done to open the safe. He
indicated that a little diplomacy
would probably be used to obtain the
combination from Adach. If this
method failed an expert craftsman
or an alias Jimmie Valentine would
be sent for.
