'"' ' ' . ' t- : .'- -, . . . : aPTIIAIINGTON, N. C. " 11: SUNDAY; .MAY 1, 1898. MARGINALIA "We haveiaccess to seyeral of the best critical journals and monthlies in the lEngiish speaking worlds - Their notices iE latter-day novels show that the 3ughly sensational and improbable,' and - Ttfate morbid and unhealthy, characterize ;most of the Active books, when not tediously imperfect and palpably dull.. rTbe novels are Soften "unclean and -wreaking with absolute filth only fit fori ' fcrothels. . In' the tendency in the crazy z tuent after the unnatural, the base, the r -startling, all modesty, and forbearance dsaxS. propriety .and decency are shoved acBide, and writers abandoning the ainerted gaze cease to walk backward tJhat ithey may cover the nakedpess of gsarents and hide the shame, of house Isolds. It is dreadfully morbid" and amoral stuff presented with an offen sive realism that reminds one of the Anambles and the dissecting; , room. "The abnormal the immoral, the most ztrepulsive scenes and characters are isoaght in1 all bf the, most abandoned and piquant details. - The baser, th$ Ikywer, the more yicious,1 the more un feeling and brutal characters can be developed and scenes portrayed the greater the satisfaction, of the writers and the intenser the delight of the class s3f readers that relish and. rejoice in the awful revelations of depravity and sin. 3Zo one knowing tKse things can possi bly fail to believeop.t this last decade a century.nearing rapidly its close is one of putrid- literature and moral and mental decadence; There have been TTiany grevous and, vile offenders in Jtboso novels of abomination arid decay, "but perhaps hone, has surpassed the ICtalian CAnnunzio, some of whose j; nasty novels have been unfortunately "translated and made accessible to' ig norance and grovelling tastes." His, aiovels are unknown to us, we rejoice to say, save j, only through reviewers who have scored them with caustic se verity so richly .merited, we judge, Crom the analyses of them. They are aifhy and concentrated in descriptions of "barefaced lust. He has given him self up to the study of the repellant, Che baleful, the. dismal, the morbid. The Intputer" is possibly his lowest efr Cort, in which he descends to the bot- jtom o f the cesspool. An able criticism In the New York Evening Post . says . ;.of it: : . : , y- j ' :. ""The incidents, like the persons,' are of no great importance for their own jaake; nothing is, very significant ex- - cept the spectacle of a man abnormally sensitive to the physical impressions, dismally indecent, sometimes brutally arse, thrusting himself before the world naked and misnamed. It is true iat be has not thrust himself upon an English speaking world, has not delib- erately exposed his unhappy personal ity to a people! alien in temperament, unsympathetic fin thought,- and of hos tile literary tradition. Mr. Hornblow -aind others must bear the burden of hat indiscretion s and settle it with tbeir phantom consiences.'; ' It is sad to know that some reviewers fsave forgotten decency and duty, and Have praised - these woeful, blasting Jbooks as works of great j genius quite -worthy of attention. This- is a pitif til 'and disgusting abuse of a high office. - The New York critic quoted from says: f So far trom observing a policy of si- nce during the last two or three' ' months, English reviewers have been ' discussing the appalling Italian with, a ' fluency which he right envy, and often -with an, obscurity such as he achieves v-spnly .in his most mystic moments. - . . All of us, English and American.know V perfectly well that the most licentious 1 Ut our own literature is vigdrous and - ean in comparison with! D'Annunzio's j-Romances of the Rose,", and that, in -Chose later days, a similar corruption Ttxas been paraded only by a few; emascu- lxtt( creatures whose notoriety has 'jbeeh transient." In the vast multiplying of fictions the f function of the critic becomes more im Srtant. If the sentinels are unfaithful iQse citadel of morality and purity will toe captured by the enemies of society Z si the men who assume to pronounce fexpori books' give false judgment in fevor of vice and immoralities of all , Sands either from lack of perception or ; s0Qnd "judgment or fidelity to -mankind,' ? jflhey Wre to be held up in condemnation rjtodL dUsesteem. ' It is of the greatest I Snportance that a severe scrutiny be ueldl upon all novels and upon all so Jealled religious books that belong to neither, the school ot. theological cranks " r sappers and miners known as the -3hMiPr critics.' but better described Ja "lower .critics' and destructives "T2ie philosophy, of the Italian is quite sf a piece with the philosophy of some - "Ss-iiab novel -monerersi It is describ- v Jea by the Evening PostX or rather is itni imarlzed as. 1 let us eat, drink, ana be merry, for tomorrow we die, pro claims at least a hearty animalism; and Is a message of light and joy beside D'Annunzio's let us desire and sate and loathe ourselves, only to plunge Into grojsser abomination, "until, worn out, diseased, mad, we die.' A philoso phy which' assumes universal unclean ness, j Indicating no means of purifica tion while impotently frothing about the unpleasantness df our state, is not a philosophy to temper representations of immorality." J Some of the critics . avoid the vain philosophy, so honeycombed with error and vice, and take refusre behind the beauty! and charm of the Italian's style. That p'Annunzio has such a gift is not denied by the hostile critics. . The able criticism we have copied from f concedes this, and says the ' "beauty of phrase and image he undoubtedly commands; and yet his taste is so bad that he can begin! a sentence in the language of poetry and finish it in the language of pathology." Poisons of the most dead ly sort may be concealed by the art of the chemists, as the bitterest ingredi ents. may be sugar-coated. i There are two things about! certain in literature, that, "yellow" novels and dialect stories, even of the' "Kailyard" variety, have about had their little day. What a. rush of glare and glory- they have had. t has been shown by expe rience that neither: the strictly realistic, the fertile symbolistic nor the flamboy ant" romantic story can hold the fort all to itself and shut out all other comers; It is ! assured ' that there is !a middle ground via media in this as in other things that appeal to the human under standing" and an educated taste, and ( that great novelists are apt to employ more or less of all three systems or methods consciously or carelessly, in building great works of fiction that givg promise of permancy of value.: We think this indeed a healthful sign, and makes it possible' to return to the oldart that gave to the world the greatest of Jane. Austen, Walter Scott, : W. M; Thackeray, Charles Dickens, and' George Eliot, and in France r Eugene, Sue and Victor Hugo.! We omit pur posely Dumas, the elder, consummate as he is as a story teller, and Balzac and Georges Sand, both eminently gifted and unclean. ; A young Georgian by the name of Arthur Handby. Marks, born in 1864, gave much promise of superior talents. He died aged twenty-eight at Nash ville, Tenn. He had some experience in the foreign service as . consul; A vol ume written by him has but! recently appeared in New York. It is IntroV duced jby Bishop Thomas F. Gailor, who gives some account of a life that was so soon cut . short and Vet might have developed into some thing remark able if-he had been spared for decades. The volume has this;' curious title "Igerne and Other Writings." The title is the t name of a story. We have not Seen the book but have been interested in some selections we saw from it. -"In England he met . Dr. Oliver j Wendell Holmes when thai very eminent Amer ican author in advanced age jpaid his last visit to that classical lnd.. , He gives a most graphic portrait of the venerable octogenarian or nearly so. It is so good that the New York Times'a "Saturday : Review," says that . "for fineness of lines, and daintiness of con ception is of. singular mejit." After copying, the pen portrait of the "Auto crat it says "There have been many pen-and-ink portraits of Oliver Wen dell Holme?, but hone quite as; good as this." That our readers may have some understanding of the excellence of, this ymmg Geogian's gifts with the pen,! we copy what was written when he was probably but twenty-two or three, for he met Dr. Holmes in 18S6. We give the concluding part : only of the description: . -U "Around his eyes are i collected those merry wrinkles which show that during the long life in which he had made so many people laugh, he had laughed not a little himself. These wrinkles, converging in his eyes like minute channels, seemed to drain into them all the expression of his face, and (this ac counts for their brightness. , I never saw before such a sympathetic expression. . ana comDipms au the features, I am able to recognize tne face of the poet, which is greater than either the man. the wit, or the iphiloso- pher.' for the whole is more than any of its parts. l iook my nnai leave and retired, feeling that I had- been talking to some good boy's i ; grand father."

RELIGIOUS EDITORIALS FOR SUN DAY. Tbe Bible denounces; covetousness as a. sin so srreat it shuts out man from Heaven. The preachers who are faith f ul are sure to preach 'against this des potic sin. It binds Its victims fin iron manacles and . fills their hearts with the enchantments of- song., There is but little doubt that next to wofldliness the sin of covetousness is the most dominating passion in the churches and damns more souls. The .'restraints of religion puts a barrier . to vicious? indul gence and therby enables the: Christian to1 accumulate. It . has taught' him beside to he "diligent iii business." The consequence is there is accumulation superfluity, and upon this the, j contest begins. If the deceitfulness j (of the heart and the selfish influences - with which! he is surrounded, gain the ascen dency; he turns the blessing of God into a curse ' Yet . God has not neglected to warn his servants on this perilous point in their lives.. . : n If what has been said is true, it will follow; that one ot the pressing newels of the world and the Church, is a rem edy for covetousness. Who owns the cattle on a thousand hills? Who made the worlds? Who created. man? Who is indeed the crea tor and preserver of all mankind; and who controls and perpetuates the ma chinery of the great worlds flung out into, space? There is but one answer it is God. He is therefore, the true, owner and source of all property. His creating power gives Him supreme ownership. He preserves and he pos sesses. Man is. His , creature, j His ,al moner only. So it follows infallibly that the farthest reach! of man's power cannot go beyond the collection and profitable employment of God's proper ty. "Thine, OLord, is the greatness, and the power, and : the glory, and the victory, and the majesty; for ail-that is in the heaven and tin the earth is thine."; So it must be that man's sup posed ownership of property or any thing whatever, is the simple gift of God. Man stands toward God as only an agent to use wisely, frugally and do the will of ; God. There is ! another thought certainly worthy of the consid eration ' of any man of ordinary intelli gence. It is that the salvation of the soul s not conditioned .in any way upon the ownership of property of any; kind. It is not essential in the remotest de gree that either, present! happiness' or a future state of bliss and rest shall de pend upon an earthly condition' of pros perity! in dollars and cehts. The poor really stand a better chance of! salva tion than the rich, although poverty of pocket in no sense is any proper! plea for an entrance; Into Heaven, but 'pov erty of spirit is an . essential, 'Blessed are the poor In spirit for theirs is the Kingdom . of Heaven.'' It is held b profound thinkers, by close observers, by patient students. iOf the Bible, that: the possession of property In innumera-. ble cases has a positive tendency, an unmistakable influence, in alienating the heart from God, and causing men to make it their little gpd. Hear what God saith: "The care of the. world, and the deceitfulness of 1 riches choke the Word, and hef becometh unfaithful." "They that will be rich fall into temp- tation, . and. a snare, and into many . foolish . and which drown ; men hurtful lusts, in destruc tion and perdition. For the , love of money 'is the root of all evil j which while some ' coveted .after, they have erred; from the faith, and pierced them selves with many; sorrows." It is safe to say that owning property, being rich in a worldly way, is no pass port to Heaven, , is no cause for God's favor, is-not: necessarily! promotive of happiness in this' life. It is hot sinful or wrong to make money, honestly and Justly, but it is a sin in God's-eyes to be coetous, which he. declares is idolatry. The New England! Quaker poet, John G. Whittier,. sang some pleasant, flow ing songs rich in melody of a gentle kind and sweet with the flavor of true piety. Here are a few lines that are worth reading and reflecting upon: . It may not be our lot to; wield, The sickle in the ripened field; Nor ours to hear on summer eves The reapers' song upon the sheaves. -Yet where our duty's task is wrought, In unison with God's great thought, j . The near and future blend in one, i f And whatsoe'er is- willed is done. . Mr. Bok lately made , bad slip-up this .country when be- declared that in the Sunday school was on the decline Of course such a statement could not pass unchallenged. There is ; a little called "Our New York, religious paper Wedge,' a foolish It Has driven a statement ;that "wedge" ! into the religious papers are losing in circulation, ; anq in intellectual ability and serious con viction." While some religious news papers doubtless show tailing on: in ability and are not sufficiently religious, others are abler conducted arid . aire more influential than ever before. Our Wedge"! shows "that since 1888 the number of religiou s papers in this country has doubled, and that their circulation has trebled. In New York there -were ten .years ago 85 teligious papers with a combined circulation of 900,000. There are now 156, with ai cir culation of one million and i a half copies per -issue." I As to . the decay of Sunday schools. Mr. Bok's Vain contentioii, there is a very gratifying and steady improve ment annually as. there should be. It is true as to both great' sections. In the "Church Economist" Rev. Dr. A.. F. Shauffler, of New York city, writes that "the Sunday schools of the-j United in numbers States are on the increase and efficiency. Statistics show; the in crease in enrollment - from 6,500,000 in 1875, to 12,000,000 in' 1896. He shows Mr. Bok to be ignorant and inexperienced in Sunday school work. j 1, ; ! "The simple fact is that today better work is being done in the iSunday schools than ever before. More helps, are at the teachers disposal; more con ventions, institutes, summer' Ischools, courses of study are prepared and pro vided for the teacher than ever hef ore.'' These examples of error are striking exemplifications of the folly of: writing in ignorance, and making hasty state ments without serious research and de sire to learn the precise facts and the truth. It is very often met with in journalism as in books, that statements concerning Christianity are as baseless as falsehood, and are often !- the pure coinage of ignorance," The "American Sunday School Union has made a com pulation as. to Sunday schools which shows that a great deal remains .to be done and should arouse the Christian denominations to more activity and zeal. It estimates the total population in 1896 as 70,505,321, calculates the num-j ber of children and youth between 5 and 18 years of age to be 20,865,377, f or whom there are 132,639.
