RENAISSANCE CLUB
WITH MRS. KENDALL
(Special to The Star.)
The Renaissance Study club held
its regular meeting Tuesday after
noon at 3:30 at the home of Mrs.
! Whitelaw Kendall. As there was no
business the entire afternoon was
given over to Dr. E. B. Evans, lec
turer.
Dr. Evan reviewed an European
novel, "World’s Illusion,” by Jacob
Wassermann, the story of which
covers a period of from fifteen to
sixteen years. It relates the decay
of one civilization and the birth of
another. It is the story of an old
rheumatic civilization.
The story falls under four -great
heads. Naturalism, where man is
j made by his surroundings; Roman
; tlclsm, man’s revolt against life
; and Humanism the obedience of
Jnan for highest-laws of his nature
or self discipline.
Dr. Evans in a most fascinating
way carried Christian Wahnochoffe,
the hero of the book through these
four steps. Christian, a charmer,
pursues a life of pleasure regard
1 less of others, but proves that soon
er or later man must see through
the illusion.
The author covers a series of
tragic deaths of the women whose
lives Christian has wrecked. Fin
ally Christian has to face facts. He
is forced to pass through a net
i work of misery which causes him
1 to find bigger and better things in
| life. He finds that life holds more
' than several pleasures and starts
| out to prove that he has a soul. The
^ book closes with a legend, in which
] is revealed the whole meaning of
i the story.
This was the last of a series of
' lectures given by Dr. Evans to the
club this fall. Those who have at
tended these lectures have had a
real literary treat.
Refreshments were served at the
close of the program.
