The January Atlantic Monthly pub-
lishes an article by Mr. Whittemore, “The
Russian,” translated from the note-book
of a Russian nurse. Mr. Whittemore, the

editors state, “has for some years past] 4. .s,a1ism will be considered in “Re-| It

construction Government,” the talk led | |

been devoting himself to a mission for

the relief of Russia, which has taken him
to remote corners of the former empire,
moving among people of every class and
kind.”

“The Russian” is a series of detached.
utterances of wounded soldiers, set down
by a Russian nurse, from talks which she
heard among Russian soldiers at the
front. “Foreshadowing the inevitable-
ness of events,” writes Mr. Whittemore,
“they seem to penetrate the mystery of
Russian character.”

“Do you think one has to be a special
kind of man to kill another man?” asks
one soldier. “It does not take much
effort to do that. You come home, you
find want everywhere—the children half-,
starved, the wife dried to a stick, and
blaming you and nagging at you for it
all. Your own belly rumbles all day with
hunger. And then a thief comes by night
and tries to steal your only remaining
wretched horse. Well, when you catch
him, all you think of is to put the evil
thing out of the way. And so you kill
him.

“There is no kind of feeling in my soul
for those who have remained at home.
When I read that things are going badly
for them there, I am glad. Let them,
think I, eat one another up like reptiles
for having sent us into torment.”

‘| by cig wo. 19, will be the topic

‘|the first of the reconstruction meetings
‘ito be beld next semester under the C.
| Under the subject will be discussed th

cobperation by different denominations, |
religious education, and intellectual re- |

February 6th at 9.30.
The danger of returning to the old in-

by M. Carey ’20, on February 12th. How
to make a socialistic government efficient
as in Germany, without incurring Ger-
many’s evils, and how to develop strong
personalities, apt to be the product of in-
dividualism, will be questions dwelt upon.
Will Discuss Social Reforms
“The New Industrial Order,” by L.
Wood 19, will follow on February 19th.
The radical changes wrought by the war
will be discussed, concrete progressive

‘reforms, and the immediate Christian

task of guiding forces from revolution to

good constitutional reform.

Miss .Leville, 1919 Vassar, will repeat
here on February 26th, the talk on “The
Coming Internationalism” that she gave
most successfully at Vassar. The chief
problem treated in this connection will
be the relation of the church to military
preparation.

“Remaking Human Nature” will be
taken up on March 5th by E. Cecil 21,
showing that, while human nature cannot
be changed, a league to enforce peace
cannot be formed without the desire of
world citizens. Old and new methods of
religious training will be considered, to-
gether with the means at hand for re-
ligious education.

Dr. Gilkey, who gave the reconstruction
course at Silver Bay, will sum up the
course on March 12th, in a talk on “Why
We Follow Christ in Rebuilding.” He
will give the early arguments for the su-
premacy of Christ and modern reasons
for accepting Christ’s leadership, conclud-
ing with the question, “Are Jesus’ Teach-
ings Final?”
