THE LIVING WORD

One who has looked into the mat
by the fact that great literature is al
ways and necessarily the work OF
great personalities. Probably the
most potent personalities in England
at the present time are DR.. Samuel
Johnson and Thomas Carlyle. 1t may
be that their message Is less impor-
tant than it once seemed to be, though
still important, but they live and In
fuence men by their intellectual, and
even more by their moral power. They
were above everything else genuine,
true and unafraid. and they suffered
for the truth. One cannot wander
through Carlyles house in Cheyne row
or Johnson's in grlmy Cough square
without feeling that they are still In
hablted by the spirits of the men who
once lived in them. The glorious
houses of England have occasionally
sheltered mighty spirits, and one must
remember that even in a palace life
may be lived we'll" But If we are
searching for the sources and springs
of Englands power, for the personali-
ties through whom her influence has
expressed itself, we shall go, not to
Chatsworth, Cumber Hall, Eaton Hall
or Blenheim, but to the poor houses In
Cheyne row and Cough square, the
homes of literary men, and nothing
else. Ecclefechan, Cralgenputtoch,
Lichfield, Stratford, Grasmere and
Bemerton-all homes of them that
handle the pen"-these, and such as
these, are the shrines of England's
greatness.

Howard Thurston, the famous
