MYSTICISM TO DEVELOP
*

“I want to- take up the iiniduets et
defense of the much-abused church,”
said Dr. Gilkey at the beginning: of his
. first lecture, on Wednesday evening,
He discussed some of
- the false ideas concerning the church;
‘and gave his reasons for believing in
‘it and its future.
“| There are two current beliefs whieh
“portant:
-are false. The first is the more im-
that the church is about to
Articles
ymagazines, discussions on every hand,
do. much to foster this idea. But a
rapid glance at statistics will show how
mistaken it is. For the’last hundred
years the American church has been
growing three times as fast as the
population; and during the years 1910
to 1920 the membership of the Prot-'
estant churches increased twenty-three
per cent, that of the Catholic, eleven
per cent. This refutes another argu-
ment that the Catholic church is gain-
ing power at a greater rate than the
Protestant.
The. second false conception is that
the church is mainly made up of
women. Again, statistics show that
forty-four per cent. of the Protestant
membership is masculine, and this is
increasing rapidly. No one can say
that young men are not going into the
ministry, when at Amherst alone twen-
ty-eight are headed that way. “The
talk of the drift of this generation
away from the church is sheer non-
sense.” An article in Harpers recently

» refuted this idea, contrasting the de-
cline in the church with that in other
organizations. Secular institutions
change, but “it is harder to kill a
church than anything else.”
Science and Religion.
Science is crushing out religion; this
is another idea which is prevalent, but
ungrounded. When Matthew Arnold
wrote Dover Beach, seventy-five years
ago, he said that it was the ebb tide of
religion, And it is true that the scien-

“FOUR TIMES A WINNER,
VARSITY WINS AGAIN
Unexpected Game with Swarthmore
Is Scrappy.
Varsity won its fifth consecutive
victory, playing against Swarthmore
on Friday, November 12.
Bryn Mawr might have been ac-
cused of adopting Helen Wills’ habit
of keeping her opponent waiting,
because Swarthmore arrived at. three-
thirty, and .waited, getting colder and
colder, for about half an: hour. At
four they started in pursuit of our
team, and the game began at four-fif-
teen. We could ‘hardly be blamed for
the delay, however,, since through
some mistake no one had been noti-
fied that there was to be a match.
Backs. Steady.
During: the first half Bryn Mawr
did all of her scoring. The ball was
catried into Swarthmore’s territory,
and kept there most of the time. There
was a great deal of scrapping in the
circle, and whenever the forwards’ lost
the ball, Jan,Seeley was there to send
it back to ‘them. Her defense atid J.

Dr. Van Dusen.

“Our true selves, and how we can

of the Rev. Henry P. Van Dusen’s

“When two girls talk together,” he
said, “there are really six people in

AMERICA FOUGHT FOR

Fenwick Stresses Our Duty to
Join League.
“What has victory meant to us?”
asked Dr. Fenwick, professor “of Poli-
tics, speaking in Armistice Day chapel.
We did did not enter the war until
April of 1917, For nearly. three years
we stood by and watched the break-
ing of treaties, the devastation of Bel-
gium. Not until our commerce was
affected did we.cease to be neutral.
The sinking of the Lusitania aroused
us to send a note of protest: Germany
apologized, and the matter was for-
gotten. There was an’ enormous
boom in commerce here until Germany
decided to starve Great Britain out,
and proclaimed a war zone, which our
ships should not enter except at their
own peril. Then we arose and armed
our merchant ships and declared war.
But we had to have a higher aim to
fight for, and so we made slogans.
It was to be a war to end wars, to
make the world safe for democracy.
Our soldiers were told that they were
crusaders who should deliver human-
ity from the tyrants of the world.

Intimate Lik 6 of Anatole
France Discussed by
Close Friend.
MME. DE CAILLAVET
~ COMPELLED WRITING
“L’homme de genie est un mannequin
souffrant” “T’homme est un
animal politique, mais Ja politique est le
pire des animaux” are both phrases:
turned by Anatole France, not, as might
be expected, in his writings, but in the
_ordinary—or rather extraordinary course
of his conversation. It was this side of
Anatole France, the gmtimate side, at
home among his book$ and_ bric-a-brac
that M, Edouard Champion took as the
subject of his lecture on Tuesday eve-
ning, November 16.
Anatole France spent his youth in the
Quai Malaquais, the site of the House
of Champion, In fact, M. Honore Cham-
pion, Edouard Champion’s father was’
the business successor of Anatole
France’s father. The traditions of
France’s youth are therefore the same
as those of the Champions—an atmos-
phere of books of all kinds dominated
by the literati and bels esprits of the
age. Le Petit Pierre, Le Livre de Mon
Ami and La Vie en Fleur all reflect this
period of Anatole France’s life, when all
he had to do was to glance out the win-
dow-~to~see-the old book stands of the
Rive Gauche and the -outting of Notre
Dame.
Not Brilliant Student.
As a student, Anatole France was not
what might be termed brilliant. He re-
ceived most of his schooling at the In-
stitute Stanislas, where all his compan-
ions were far richer and better dressed
than he. They used to tease him about
his shabby attire and even went as far
as to put pebbles down his neck when on
one occasion he appeared with a collar
so ill fitting that it might have been
mistaken _for_a_ruff, .
His entry into the world of Beaux
Arts immediately brought forth diverse
fruit. Forced to accept any task offered
he first had: to proof-read a Dictionary
of France and then a cookbook. In
1866-67 he occupied: the position of a
government clerk and was then appointed
to the library of the Senate. Although
only three hours .a week were expected
of him, so lazy was Anatole France and
so intent upon vacations, that his supe-
rior summed up his work as “nothing-
ness” and he himself gained the nick-
name of folded-arms. As might be sur-
mised, his discharge was almost immedi-
ate.
Influence of Mme. de Cavaillet.
Then came a marriage d’amour which
was followed by a succession of affairs
ending with a mannequin, Mme. de
Caillavet, whose, salon was frequented
by most of the great French and inter-
national writers of the age, Bourget, La
Comtesse de Martel, Jules Le Maitre,
etc., soon succeeded France’s wife in his
affections. But this was not at first
reciprocal, for Mme. de Caillavet was
fascinated at the moment with Jules Le
Maitre. But since a riva) hostess of a
solan succeeded in capturing LeMaitre,
Mme. Caillavet soon decided in favor of
Anatole France. — ha
“Although these details may at first
seem trivial,” said M. Champion, “they
the undercurrents of contemporary Pari-
sian life.” Mme. de Caillavet was of
great moment in his literary career, and
obliged him to write. She literally forced
the pen into~his hand, and many are the
anecdotes of how Anatole France side-
stepped the tyranny of his obdurate task-
mistress. Ps
Her goading, however, was not with-
out effect, in seven years he wrote Thais,
Balthazar, Le Jardin d’Epicure, Le Lys
Rouge among others. In spite of the
domestic ‘scenes of strife in which they
were _ composed, all these | are master-

end of the field to the other. (By the
way, one should hardly speak of the
field as all three fields were tried and
found wanting during the course—of
the game.) Varsity had no difficulty
in rushing the ball down the field, but
the striking circle seemed to ‘paralyze
their fighting powers; over and over
again they would lose the ball after a
brilliant lomg rush, and back to the
end of the field it would travel. Tuttle
pulled off several of these pretty but
unavailing runs down the alley. The
play of the backs was noticeably bét-
ter than that of the forwards on both
teams.
Forwards Poor.
Our forwards did not seem to form
any “mighty line’ and their lack of
co-operation was deplorable. Guiter-
man was good and Tuttle, after mak-
ing a bad start, played very well
towards the end. lLoines was not
nearly up to her usual form and her
fall from grace seemed to demoralize
her confederates.. Stix showed up
poorly as indeed she has for the last
few games: she does not seem to be
living up to her soaring Hockey Camp
and early season reputation.
Johnson showed ability, but seemed
a bit. clumsy with her feet. She also
appearéd unable to co-operate with
Varsity. Wills was substituted for her,
in the_second half and made a far bet-
ter cog, even if she did achieve some
graceful spills in the mud.

Factor in Writings of
Proust.
|DEALS WITH CAUSES
OF DAILY ACTS
Marcel Proust was the ‘subject on
which M. Edouard Champion, distin-
guished publishet and _ bioliophile of
Paris, spoke at a meeting of the Frerich
Club in Taylor at 3-on paeentea ds Novem-
ber 16.
“The fame of Marcel Proust has pass-
ed beyond the frontiers. of his own cotin-
try,” he began. “All over the world so-
cieties have been formed for the purpose °
of studying his methods and texts.”
He was born in Paris on July 10, 1871,
of a Protestant father and Catholic
mother. When he was nine years old he
had an attack of croup whith was nearly
fatal, and which’- proved to be. the first
appearance of asthma which afflicted his
whole life. The effect. of: this illness on
the ‘sensitive child can hardly be esti-
mated. It meant the complete repression
of all his impulses, and his condemna-
tion to a lif€ which must be interior, with-
out any physical expression.
After going to school, he began to fre-_
quent the salon of Madame Strauss, and
went about in society a great deal, where
his brilliance made him famous.
Bad Health Forces Isolation.
But soon his health failed, and he was
compelled to abandon all this pleasant so-
ciety and lead a life of practical isolation.
Young, passionate, welcomed every-
where, he suffered greatly at being forc-
ed into rétirement. At his mother’s
death he went to live on Boulevard
Haussmann, and from this moment his
biography loses itself in his writings.
His life and his work were completely
opposed, so much so that one may feel
that he put into his books all his de-
sires, living in a sort of active torpor, the
result of wlhiich was the 20 volumes en-
titled “La Recherche des Temps Perdus.”

GRADUATE SCHOOL HAS.
COSMOPOLITAN GROUP
Miss Schenek Speaks About History
and Status of School.
Miss Schenck, who is at the head of
the Graduate School, spoke in chapel on
Wednesday morning, November 10. She
touched upom the history of the school,
and its present status.
The Graduate School: is as old as the
college itself. In the very first pamphlet
about the opening of the college, dated
1883, it was forshadowed by the sen-
tence saying that the founder “enjoined
that girls be educated to be teachers of
a high order.” In the second pamphlet
there was a whole paragraph on the
Graduate School. In the college’s first
year there were eight graduates, and 44
undergraduates, and this proportion has
continued down to the present time, when
there are over 100 graduates. The Re-
sident- and European Fellowships which
have been added by degrees, are proof
that the college has kept in mihd the
needs of the Graduate School.
Foreign students came early, and now
there are always seven or eight in the
school. It is a very cosmopolitan group ;
there are six European countries rep-
resented, which means an-imposing array
of universities; four Canadian colleges
are represented, and the rest of the.
graduates come from 25 different States,
and 53° different colleges. These statistics»

ART IN THE DANGER ZONE
With the cunning of a snake in
the grass, a danger bent on their de-
struction by one fell stroke is creep-
ing upon art and literature today.
‘We know well that they thrive on
the life-giving sap of the unknown.
Unless imagination can have its own
domain in which to adapt to its own
demands-all- nature, without the ob-
noxious check of physicial facts, art
inevitably suffers. As long as the
‘spaces and creatures of the cosmos
were objects of admiration and not
of study, imagination delighted in
- all the liberty it needed and art nobly
assumed the sovereignty thereby
afforded it. Consider what those
keen but happily unscientific Greek
tragedians achieved with their Dae-
mons and their Moira.
Today the world of art is menac-
ed by the horrible truth. As science
pursues its onward march, mystery:
retreats; the host of lovely dark-
nesses shrinks to a small and in-
creasingly harrassed _ battalion.
Stevenson succinctly expressed the
subject matter of art in these lines:
“Only the mightier movement sounds
and passes,
Only winds and rivers,
Life and death,”
But now the emotion that could
‘give rise to a mystic metaphor such
as this is reduced by psychology to
a mere pathological safety valve.
It is not that the human race has
changed its taste for greatness or
for crime ; no, fundamentally human
action is the same.
But the interpretation put on any
startling action, extremely good or
extremely bad, will be of the char-
acter of either a medical diagnosis
or a cheap sensationalism. The
newspaper takes care of the latter
side, while the former is seized upon
by the over-zealous scientist who
dissects alike sardonically the mo-
tives of the saint and the criminal in
all the light he can glean of their
heredity and environment. |
What seeking soul, say, turns: for
‘fulfillment to Gandhi? Who today
believes a dervish god-inspired?

Surely this question of the danger-
ous position of art is not one to be
lightly passed over, and we feel it
is high time to pay it a little. atten-
tion.
CATS AND DOGS |
So many people have commented
on’ the character of Americans that
we ought by this time to know our
faults and our virtues. But we have
always been told that we are if any-
thing too sportsmanlike, that we
ship as rigid and illogical as the old
codes of chivalry; and now the
Marvard Lampoon, like a bad little
boy “in the street, starts calling
Princeton names because, its own
team is beaten; and the respective
administrations, two angry mammas
arms akimbo, aren’t
speaking, because “your George
gave my Clarence a black eye, and
him such a good boy and all.”
So our much-advertised : “sports-
manship, whose first principle is to
know how to take a “defeat, is
thrown to the winds over a football
game. It seems rather an undig-
nified performance for two great
universities devoted to the advance-
ment of learning. Doesn’t it indi-
cate that athletics are being taken a
little too’seriously when our colleges
are quicker to take offense and to
break off diplomatic relations over a
game and an editorial in a comic
magazine than was our country over
the sinking of a ship and a few prin-
ciples’ of international honor.
HOW TO VOTE
When, in 1919, women were for
the first time vested with the respon-
sibility of voting, many of ‘them
were so bewildered—or shocked—
what to do about it; so the League
of Women Votets was founded.
This is a nation-wide, non-partisan
organization, with the simple pur-
pose of instructing women of all
classes in the fundamentals of vot-
ing—fundamentals which it is taken
for granted men will know. The
League flourishes throughout the
{country, and has branches in ll
the larger cities. Before elections,
whether local or national, the
branches hold non-partisan meetings
at which they attempt to set for-
ward as fairly as possible the plat-
form of each of the parties, and to
give a brief and necessarily very
impersonal sketch of the candidates.
Impossible as it may seem in a coun-
try which is so fond of its factions,
League members have’ even been
able to get all the candidates of all
the parties to come and talk at the
same admittedly impartial ‘meeting.
The League makes it a policy not to
take sides on any question but to
give information on all.
A fair percentage of us at college
have reached thé voting age, and
most of the others will attain it
before they graduate. Many of
them already know what conditions
are, and how they will want to vote,
but others—speaking from personal
information—are not so comfort-
elably settled. When we consider
that ‘only 49% of the eligible voters
of this country make use of their
right, it seems all the more impor-
tant for the educated ones to vote
as: plas gc as possible:. The
omen Voters is: only
too ye to help us out, and its
ranks are including more members
each 3 year.

‘VircintiA NEwsotp, '27.
To the Editors of the Coriece News:
Last week’s editorial said that Bryn
Mawr “wishes its students to feel that
they. are adults capable of thinking for
themselves.” To me, the error of the
whole argument seems to be in the one
word “thinking.” A person may be per-
fectly capable of thinking for herself,
and yet lack the pertinacity— involved in
acting for herself.
Let us suppose, for the sake of argu-
ment, that, if deprived of all supervision,
we should prove to be incapable of act-
ing for our own best interests. In this
case it would seem to be the duty of the
college to try to fix in us the proper
motor habits, and to fix them so firmly
that they could withstand all antagonistic
tendencies. Fortunately we have not yet
passed the habit-forming age, and so there
is still hope for us; and even those. advo-
cates of free-thinking must surely agree
that the more we can lay: aside daily
actions by turning them into useful habits,
the more time we can devote to the less
regular tasks where independence of
thought is essential.
So far the ‘case has been merely
hypothetical. If all undergraduates were
capable, not only of. thinking but of act-
ing, for themselves, and if they chose to
expend this mental effort in the accom-
plishment of everyday duties, there would
indeed be no need for compulsory athlet-
ics (although I cannot help thinking how
childish: it is to quibble about the signing
or not signing of periods which you claim
you would do in any case). On the
other hand I think we all realize that the
need of bodily exercise is as real and as
vital a. need as that of mental exercise,
and that this need must be taken care of
either by the students or by the authori-
ties. We recognize the fact that some
students find it very difficult to make a
strenuous physical effort after studying
hard for several hours; but it is at this
very time that we need the most vigorous
exercise, and often the weariness they
feel is due more to lack of sleep than to
anything else. :
It is, then, admitted that we must have
exercise; and I believe it is realized that
this exercise must be enforced either by
‘the student body as . whole or by the
gym department. What unparalleled opti-
mism it is to think that we are already in
that Platonic world where everyone does
everything that she knows is good :for
her! “Knowing” «is the first step, but
“doing” tops the flight. Perhaps the
writer of last week’s editorial mixes only
with enthusiastic athletes, so that her
be she does not hear the incessant mur-
murs from the other side of college:

” HAMPDEN’S S CAPONSACCHI © 1
Renaissance Play Sta Staged ‘in Rapheet
S ‘Setting.
Caponsacchi, now in New York, at the
Hampden Theatre, exemplifies perfection
in artistry. . No detail has been overlook-
ed in this latest production and véhicle
of Walter Hampden which might add to
the pleasure of appreciating the acting.
Minutely accurate lighting, scenery and
, costuming combine to make an unusual-
“ly happy framework for the Wereat part:
Walter Hampden, in the role of Capon-
sacchi, the St. George of the Italian High
Renaissance.
Based as ebiinieas upon Robert
Browning’s The Ririg and the Book,
Caponsacchi although shifting the inter-
est from the intrigue-to.the hero has
the ‘rare virtue of erving. the spirit
as well as the plot of the original. It
is imbued with Browning’s idealistic
optimism and sense of duty and honor,
afid wherever possible, Browning’s own
lines are retained, ,
Another happy combination is the sym-
pathy between this spirit: and the stuff
of the play. What could be less mundane
than Arezzo and Rome in that age of
pageantry, the seventeenth century, when
“all the world” was literally “a stage”
and people actually dooked like Raphael's
portraits?
Throughoyt the numerous sets, this
atmosphere is beautifully” stiStained. - It
is truly Etruscan from the cream-colored
stucco of the houses to the distant mist-
swathed cypress trees, and purple hills;
truly Renaissance from multi-colored
Arezzo, glorying in carnival time, to the
Court of. Justice in the Vatican.
Most of the costumes follow Renais-
In the Prologue, silver-
haired“Pope Innocent. XII, seated on. his
throne in scarlet splendor, behind deep
mauve curtains, seems to be a Raphael
come to life even to the scheme of
drapery. ‘Walter Hampden, in a pearl
tay cassock and scarlet: monk’s cap, is
a pleasing variation of “The Young
Cardinal.” But Edith Barret as Pom-
pilia, the sacrificial lamb, throughout the
play is robed according to Raphael. She
makes her appearance in the exact rep-
lica of “La Donna Velata,” while in
Acts II and III she appears as the Ma-
donna.
Usually, casts supporting Walter
Hampden have served as targets for
criticism. They have been judged in-
« animate obstacles hindering the apprecia-
tion of Walter Hampden’s own art. This
flaw can scarcely be fownd in Caponsac-
chi. True, the cast other than its star do
little ‘but support, but that is adequate.
They look and play their parts down to
the .sleepiest judge who is incapable of
rasping anything, but “difficult to believe,
but not impossible.”
In her death scene, the vocal monotony
of Edith Barret tempts you to sympa-
thize with Gu'do ler husband and mur-
derer. But. even this can be rationaliz-
ed. No doubt the victim of such out-
rages would be reduced to the stage of
unvarying pitch, in fact it is a miracle
that she is able to utter a sound.
Pope Innocent’s last monologue is like-
wise wearing. But this is rather the
fault of the play than of Stanley Howlett.
On the other hand, Ernest Rowan, as
often reaches commendable
heights, especially in the highly dramati¢e
Epilogue when he has received the papal
sentence of death.
Walter Hampden is in his own. Ca-
ponsacchi is much the same type of part
as Cyrano, with one exception—Cyrano’s
nose. Handsome, romantic, courageous,
the personification of honor, Walter
Hampden as Caponsacchi transforms his
audience into puppets controlled by his
slightest gesture. As a fortune teller, he
makes them rock-with—mirth; as the
chivalrous defender of a lady, he makes
them thrill; and as the grief-stricken
monk, forcing himself for ._Pompilia’s
sake to finish his story, he makes them
choke with sobs.
Caponsacchi is indeed a gem in the al-
ready much-bejeweled clown of Walter
Hampden both as actor and producer.

BOOK REVIEW
Les Reflets, by Jean de la Brete.
Jear® de la Brete, though he deals in
this novel with socialeaspects of the high-
est import, does nét in any way-challenge
the reader’s opinions. He avoids the op-
portunity offered by his subject to startle,
to pose as a martyr in the defense of the
unfortunates ‘regarded by certain sections
of society as unforgivable.
This con-
servatism fs the secret of the success of
his story. The fact that he never, departs
from the strict circle of plot development
for the wider regions of logical expan-
sion at once protects him from the charge
of capitalizing the sensational, and keeps
the book on a good artistic level. _
The chief -character, Mme. de Galonge?
by virtue, of her great power of forgive-
ness or self-obliteration, and of a tacty
that amounts to wisdom in the end, if it
is to be judged by what it accomplishes,
Mme. de Galonge is able to conceal her
husband’s betrayal of her until it is im-
perative that the truth be known—that is,
until the illegitimate daughter receives
an offer of marriage. In‘ the title lies
the. clue to the conclusion. Once the
mistake has been made, though all con-
cerned in it devote their utmost powers
to its redress, it can never be entirely
buried and forgotten. Moral redemption
is possible at the expense of happiness,
at the expense. of less happiness even
than no reparation-at all, but redemption
in the eyes of the world, never. It is an
unfailing law of human society that a
breach of its conventions rouses a train
of reproach echoing and reechoing, year
after year, even to posterity, This law
does not preclude the chance of personal
expiation.
Les Reflets leaves one.a little sad, but
on the whole, optimistic. The satisfaction
of making amends as best one may, over-
comes in the minds of the characters, the
injuries of the petty views of society.
MON.
The Romany Stain,
Morley.
“The Romany Stain ,the dark blood-
colored Eden birthmark that some carry
by Christopher
‘in their hearts”—Christopher Morley him-
self has it, that quality which is asso-
ciated with the name of a wine of Bur-
gundy, and which, like the mild red “vin
du pays,” makes him who has it see the
world in a kindly spirit, yet more clearly
and calmly than others.
In his new book, a series of essays
chiefly connected with the author’s experi-
ences and‘ observations in France; Mr.
Morley has given free play to the wander -
ing fancy .that kept cropping up in
Thunder on the Left and leading one off
on fascinating’ inconsequent rambles.
Here he does with thoughts what Ger-
trude Steis does with words, setting them
down one after another as they occur to
him, one observation leading to another
till a whole fabric is built from a face
seen in passing, or a notice posted in a
railway station. The result is sometimes
confused, but careful reading shows a].
definite trend underlying this apparently
unorganized medley. The book is a
manifestation of the reaction to Baede-
kerism, the type of the objective and
scientific attitude towards foreign travel,
which offers the maximum of information
with the minimum of sympathy, and
grades every town in Europe with one,
two or three stars according to the
churches it contains. In opposition to
this spirit, Henry Adams wrote Mont
Saint Michel and Chartres, from the
subjective standpoigt, trying to enter into
the minds and feelings of men in the
11th century. Morley does this to an even
greater degree with the people of. modern
France. Through their language, their
habits, and their monuments, he tries to
find out themselves, to present to Iiis own
countrymen the beauty that lies in another
race. :
The book has no point of.view in a
political sense. Nevertheless, without say-
ing anything definite, it carries.. with it,
besides a wealth of charming trains? of
thought to play with and follow up, a
plea for an open mind, which, at this
time, when half the country goes abroad
every summer, might have more im-
portant international consequences than a
political pamphlet.

The Dancing Floor, by John Buchan:
Here is a story as utterly incredible and
‘|impoSsible and ridiculous as life’ itself.
Only the wildest imagination could con-
ceive of-two such antagonistic characters
as Kore Arabin' and Vernon Milbourn
being united by the set of weird events
and odd coincidences which occur in the
book. And it would take an equally vivid
imaginatién, or an intimate experience
with the vagaries of Fate to credit the
story with any possible semblance. of
reality. *
The title is apt to be misleading until
it is @xplained that “The Dancing Floor”
is the name given to an enclosed upland
meadow in a remote Greek island, where-
in is enacted a drama moré startling and
more spectacular than the accounts of the
ancient religious rites which. were prob-
ably practiced there when Dionysus -and
femele ruled supreme. The principal
characters in, the drama which reaches its
climax on-the Dancing Floor, are a.highly
respectable, middle-aged London lawyer,
a very conventional Oxford man, whose
parents had been deeply religious: Calvin-
ists, and a young girl, English-born, but
raised on a Greek island by a father
whose degeneracy passes all bounds of
description. How these three people
meet, then separate, and finally reunite
at the island of Plakos (Kore’s home, the
island« of, the ,Dancing Floor) is a
tale woven by Colonel Buchan with the
utmost skill and ingenuity, so that at all
times it gives the semblance of a regular,
And this
dispite the fact that his strongest threads
are Kore’s fanatical sense of duty con-
cerning the expiation of her father’s sins,
a dream obsession which has’ possessed
Vernon since his earlist youth, and the
friendship which Leithen, the lawyer, in-
spires in both the arrogant, courageous
girl and the fatalistic, solitary boy.
Throughout the book there is felt a
strong current. of Calvinistic fatalism,
which seems to come from the author as
well as his characters. It is perhaps the
binding force in the story, this sense that
everything has been ordained and must
come to pass despite all appearances to
the contrary. But this is only an under-
current, and makes no direct impression
on the reader. The actual purpose of the
book, the working out of a fantastical
mystery is carried through in Colonel
Buchan’s best style, after the manner of
the “Three Hostages.? It differs. from
other mystery Stories in that, although
suspense and horror are felt, they are not
emphasized. Rather, they are treated in
a quite delightful, matter-of-fact manner,
whieh hints at harrors, but never aetually
‘describes them. “The book, although ‘it
offers no great moral or mental stimulus,
provides, never the less, delightful enter-
tainment for a rainy afternoon or relaxa-
tion from work. ’

Dr. Gilkey Calls Prayers | "Pleceptivity to
God. oe
“Do people ever get help froma suuice
outside themselves?” asked Dr. Gilkey in
his secmeid address & the college on
Thursday, November 11. His answer
All religion, he said, starids
It is the fundathehtal message. of ‘Chris-
tianity; Jesus insisted on it. Without
this sense of God's aid, religion degener-
ates into Ethics and. Social Service.
Today, unfortunately, much of this
sense is gone—there is a great deal of talk
persons are psychological cases, but the
truth is that religion ought to be, able
to help and affect us all.
In a book called The Psychology of
Power Captain Hadfield, an English
neurologist, tells -the story of a patient
suffering from nervous breakdown, who
in time of dire need, was able to go home,
assume command, and take care of his
sick wife and many small children, to
the almost incredulous wonder of the
doctors and nurses. Did this man get
help from God? “Did hte tap a source
of power outside himself?”
€t is the only explanation.
But any theory of God’s help pre-
supposes an objective God. There are
(14) from the authority of: others, (2)
on the basis of personal experience, (3)
in the belief in God as a logical deduc-
tion from the facts: of experience, the
“major possibility of God.z_ As we divine J
the friendship of our friends from’ the
mind and power behind the world merely
from watching it.
Fs Our Relation to God.
The conception of God is another im-
portant point. There is the same rela-
tion between God and_ the world of
time, space, and. matter, as there is be-
tween a human body and the personality
within it. As our personalities cannot be
located in one spot, but may be said to
permeate the body, so God permeates the
entire world. Each one of us is always
in touch with Him as the radio catches
messages by tuning in through our higher
mental faculties, thought, pity, apprecia-
tion of beauty—which He has been de-
veloping through the ages. Jesus had
these faculties developed to the highest
point—God could get His. messages
through to Jesus very easily.
Ideas come to us from God in our
finest moments; and once in, an idea can
remake a life, as in the case of the
neurotic patient. God gave to that man a
realization of his power, which gave him
strength.
Perhaps besides giving us new ideas,
God can resurrect old ones temporarily
neglected, as may be done by the laws
of association, an effort of will or an
outside stimulus. God can bring ideas
from the periphery to the center of con-
sciousness.

the perfect ‘life is a balance between

°To live a simple life, the first neces-

consists not .in a*physical or intellec-
tual abstraction from the world, but
in being able to transcend it spiritually.

Yield to New, Deep Truths.
Finally, the most ‘important qualifi-
cation is the progressive yielding of
ourselves to. newer and deeper insights
of Truth. We cannot expect to see
the whole of life at once—but when
we have taken the first step, we will
be able to see the next.
only way in which most. of us would
accept Truth—we are afraid to “sur-
render to Christ.” As in swimming,
safest and easiest way to learn is
y practicing the strokes on land and
making our first attempt supported by
someone else, so step by step we come
gradually to know God. He does not
ask us to accept all of His Truth at
once, but only the next step.
Life is found by self-training in in-
creasing the giving of ourselves ' to
further insights of Truth. As we yield
ourselves, our habits are unconsciously
changed, our conceptions are altered,
our understanding of Jesus increases,
we gradually enter into the experience
called prayer. We do not know
where this will lead, except that it
will bring us a sense of freedom, use-
fulness, and power. It gives us light,
but not clear vision, peace but not
calm, satisfaction but not necesgarily
success. There comes an- inner: con-

team on Saturday, especially Seeley
and Walker, for whom we fail to find
any unhackneyed praises. Porter also
was dependable and made many good
stops, but was slow. Winter was the
only “weak sister;” she was not an
asset to the team.
Visitors a Relief.
Germantown’s neat passing and
clever dodging and lifting were the
prettiest features of an otherwise
rather unnoteworthy game. Their left
was perhaps the most _ patent
member of the team.
The goal guarding of both sides was
very nice and an unusual number of
penalty oorners restlted. Varsity
failed to take advantage of these pen-
alty corners, however, land let the call
slip right by time and' i time again.
Messy Game.
It was a messy game with many
kicks and “spills, but a‘great deal’ can
be blamed on the horrible playing
conditions of each and every field. |

we increase or decrease our secenlivity
to God. Prayer is what we call this—
prayer, which may consist in appreciation
of music or pictures, in worshiping in
church, or in relaxing into the silence, of
our- own lives. And the ead of prayer.
is not an overcoming of God’s reluctance,
but a laying hold of God’s highest will-

‘though most of the players were slow
there were a few happy exceptions;
Dalziel made some beautiful long

Backs Interchange with Goal.
1930 had a good system of: defense,
the backs interchanging with the goal
without the confusion which some-
times results from such a’ change.
‘$tix lacked her habitual assurance in
attack, and succeeded in making only
one. goal. Longstreth was not as
spectacular as an inner as she is in the
wing. Winters, the centre half, was
very reliable, however.
The Sophomore team was. fairly
good, as a whole, but there were few
outstanding players. The = defense
was not so good as the. attack, al-
though Balch competently covered
her side of the field.
Both goalkeepers were exceptional.
Line-ups: :
1929: B. Humphries, E. Friend, R.
Wills**, E. Bryant, A®™ Dalziel*, K.

Admired Racine.
Anatole France was devoted to the
works of Racine and knew most of them
by heart. Once Paul Valery made a
slight allusion to Racine and for that
gained the whole-hearted commendation
of Anatole France.
‘For one edition of Racize, France

In stringent cases, when the
author, exasperated at Frarice’s ‘delay,
visited him to urge him to put pen to
paper, France would take to his bed and
bind his head in a huge handkerchief and
simulate’ -sickness. oo
In reality, however, Anatole France
loathed sickness. -He even desertéd Ra-
cine when, he discovered that the grand
poet was prone to tears. Another class
he martyred, was that of housewives.
Anatole France was never, known to re-
fuse an invitation.
With the success gained by Le Lys

buy a small hotel. This he decorated in

a mass of unopened letters were found,
an example of France’s proverbial negli-
gence and indifference.
He used to take an hour shaving, and
his conversation then was one -glorious
monologue. The first quotation above is
a product.
His last years were spent in the coun-
try, in Touraine, from which he emerged
to urge young France to defend La‘ Pat-
rie. He died, as everyone knows, Octo-
ber 12, 1924, bewailed not only by France,
but-the whole world.

The education of the student himself,

conditions prevalent point toward this
