By the Way

RITZ KREISLER, the famous violinist, spent his vacation last year in the Maine woods. He went there for a rest, and consequently did not overexert himself physically. His guide could not understand the virtuoso's conception of rest, and complained: "He no fish; he no hunt; he pay me $4.50 a day, and all I got to do is sit around and listen to him play damn fiddle."

The "New Republic" has listed the ten biggest newspaper stories of 1925 from the editors' standpoint. They are: Evolution trial at Dayton, Tennessee; the Shenandoah disaster; Floyd Collins entombed at Cave City; Gunnar Kasson's race to Nome; the coal strike; the Caillaux mission; the Rhinelander case; Gerald Chapman; Amundsen's attempted dash to the pole; and Colonel Mitchell's attack on the Army.

A few comments on the news of the week which haven't reached the general press: Evelyn Nesbit Thaw sold the story of her life to one of the Hearst papers in New York for $1,000, with the understanding that it was not to be printed until after her death. Two attempts at suicide have brought the story out of the Hearst syndicate archives, only to be put back when the drugs failed to bring death to Harry Thaw's ex-wife. ...

The answer to this puzzle is a word two syllables. Do you know it? The first, though ill-bred is well like and cherished by many.

MEAN TO YOU?

[graphic]

OES religion mean a certain form of worship and

a method of living in accordance with the things you learned in Sunday school or from sermons? Or does it mean to you a faith and a power beyond yourself whereby you seek to satisfy your emotional needs, gaining stability of life expressed in acts of love, charity, and service?

Or does religion mean to you a life itself, "mystical in its roots and practical in its fruits"? Or do you like to think of it, above all, as "communion with God, a calm and deep enthusiasm, a love which radiates, a force which acts, a happiness which overflows "-in short, a state of the soul?

Do you find it easy in these days of religious ferment and argument and turmoil to hold steadfast to the faith that has been within you? Or do new and disquieting fears crowd in to haunt your mind, making you

hungry for more explicit exposition of religious truth and spiritual experience which must find new expression to fit the needs and thought of this new day?

What does your Bible mean to you to-day?

Do you sometimes fear that you must abandon the historic faith of Christendom to accept the theory of evolution? Or do you believe that the historic faith of Christendom when stated in terms of evolutionary philosophy is not only preserved but is so cleansed of pagan thought and feeling as to be presented in a purer and more powerful form?

Do you accept Professor Le Conte's definition of evolution, in its broad sense, which is, "A continuous, progressive change according to certain laws and by means of resident forces"?

Whatever may be your belief, faith, doubt, perplexity, or fear, you will find clearly set forth and illuminated in two volumes by Lyman Abbott, which it is now the privilege of The Outlook Company to publish in a special edition, a calm and deep-seeing interpretation of many of the religious questions that are haunting men's minds. to-day.

has furnished in the realm of natural science may be valuable to the non-scholastic and nonprofessional reader."

Dr. Abbott's volumes assume this truth of the principle of evolution as defined by Professor Le Conte. And he admits no ground for controversy in the deeper underlying questions; for he says: "He who believes in the evolution of revelation no longer has to tease his mind, arguing that the creative days were æons, that the sun standing still was an optical delusion due to peculiar refraction of rays, and that some whales have mouths big enough to allow the passage of a man. He frankly treats the stories of creation, of Joshua's campaign, and of Jonah's adventures as literature characteristic of the childhood age of the world and looks for the moral lessons which are behind them."

Here, then, are two volumes on evolution in the light of religion of great value to every man and woman who would understand the Bible and its teachings most clearly.

Volume One considers the evolution of the Bible, of theology, of the Church, of Christian society, and of the soul, with special attention to the secret and the consummation of spiritual evolution.

Volume Two considers creation by evolution, the genesis of sin, the evolution of revelation, the place of Christ in evolution, redemption by evolution, the evolution of sacrifice and propitiation, and evolution as related to miracles and to immortality.

Jews, Protestants, and Catholics

An Open Door for the

s a Jewess, I cannot but be interested in the articles appearing in he Outlook relative to Mr. Seitz's arti"Jews, Catholics, and Protestants." I ave just read the issue for December . My life, too, has always been spent Christian communities. In fact, we re the only Jews in my home town for period of fully forty years. Only twice the history of our family has there er been a feeling of prejudice even nted at. And each time it was by the ethodist minister. It is with some ow of satisfaction that I tell you in ch of the above-mentioned cases the ending minister was transferred to a v parish the following year. My her was a pioneer in this little northIowa town, and was dearly loved by th rich and poor. When he died, the ire community, including all the miners in town, paid their homage to his mory and respect to his family.

In Boston They Divided and
Got Licked

N your issue of December 16 Mr.
John F. Gilroy, in commenting on
Mr. Seitz's article on "Jews, Catholics,
and Protestants," asks, "How is it that
Boston elected a Protestant Mayor when
seventy-five per cent of its population is
Catholic?" I am in a position to en-
lighten Mr. Gilroy as to why a Protes-
tant Mayor was elected in Boston. The
Catholic politicians of Boston have been
badly split for a number of years, and
this year, while fighting among them-
selves, allowed a Protestant Mayor to be
elected.
elected. As for any of the Catholic
Democratic vote going to a Protestant
Republican, it is too absurd for consid-
eration. The percentage of Catholics in.
Boston is estimated by authorities to be
about sixty-five per cent. The total vote
of the last election was 182,063, of which
the successful candidate received 64,492,
or 35.42 per cent. The seven Catholic
candidates received a total of 115,524, or
63.45 per cent, which goes to show that
none of the Catholic votes was wasted
on the Protestant Republican candidate.
This has always been the case in Boston
politics.

Now let us look on the other side of
the fence. In 1921 there were four
the fence.
candidates for Mayor, three Catholics
and one Protestant. Out of a total of
161,186 votes cast, the Catholic candi-
dates received 156,896 votes, the Protes-
tant candidate 4,268. The Protestants
joined hands with the better class of
Catholics in an unsuccessful attempt to
elect the best man. Again, there was the
Hon. David I. Walsh elected in a strong
Republican State for Governor and
United States Senator by receiving thou-
sands of Protestant votes, the writer's
being one.

The City Hall in Boston is as free
from Protestants as the Desert of Sahara
is of water lilies!

I believe such a condition should receive the most possible publicity, and will appreciate it if you will publish the above.
