RELIGION
CHRISTIANITY, culture nnd civilization
hnvo nil received their full share of criti
cism in tho mnguzlno press for allowing tho
wnr to linppcn. A mnjortty ot tho urtlclcs on
religious topics In the secular press this win
ter lino tnkon wnr ns their theme, nnd It
li Intct eating to note, without regard to
what It Imllratc.H, tlint most of tho nrticlcs
written from tho religious point of view do
nut nttctnpt to apologize for tho wnr, but
nro lather on tho dcfcnslvo for tho necessity
of wnr.
There Is somo culling religion to nccount
for failure in this criils. Others nrguo ns
to how tho church ran help civilization out
of Its present predicament. Somo of tho re
ligious Journals pursuo tho even tenor of
their way discussing heresies, preaching
their "dolrs." undisturbed by wnrs nlnruma.
Agnes Hoppller, ono of Philadelphia's most
distinguished writers, spenks of tho situa
tion with unaccustomed sovcrlty in "Chris
tianity nnd tho Wnr" (1). Sho characterizes
ns nmnrlng the flabbtness of our pence talk
nnd tho mournful forebodings of pious
Christians who lament tho failure of Chris
tianity to reconcile tho lrrcconcllablo.
Yh2,"or ls m""nlly right is In accord
with Christianity, sho says. To spnk loosely
of wnr ns mi-Christian Is to Ignore not only
tho Chrlstlnn right, but tho Christian duty,
which rests with every nation nnd with
every mnn to protect that of which nation
and man aro lawful protectors. Even ng
gresslvo warfare Is not necessarily n denial
of tho Christianity It nffronts. For years
wo have choson to believe that arbitration
would secure for tho world n maximum of
comfort nt a minimum of cost, nnd that the
religion of humnnltv would nchlovo what
the rollrtlon of Christ has nover achieved
tho brotherhood of man. Trom this dream
wo hao boon rudelv nwnkenod; but, being
awake, let us clearly rocogniro that simple
nnd great nunlitv which makes evorv man
tho defender of his home, the guardian of
his rights, tho avenger of his shameful
wrongs.
The Theosophlcal Quarterly goes furthor
than this. Ignoring considerations of of
fensive and defensive. Justified nnd unjusti
fied, It defends war as n valuable nnd nec
essary clement In our evolution, nnd ns an
essential part of tho theosophlcnl cult (2),
they say that they nro
Compelled to recognise and nsBPrt the
nnlrltunl value of wnr. Peace Is sourht nnd
prnlsed not so much an n spiritual victory
oer selfishness' but rather ns making n
secure field for the growth of selfish self
tmlnlcrenro Of course nil kinds of ulens are
rondo for fnmllv life for domestic bliss nnd
well-being for the torn lienrts of women nnd
children- hut under nil this Is tho assump
tion which we ennnnt hut think Is nt once

"Lone Wny to Tippcrary"
Somotlmes the incidentals are moro Inter
esting than the main theme, nnd It 13 al
ways Interesting to follow out tho remote
reactions nnd complications of any great
;ovont. Far In tho wake of tho world war
and tho singing of "Tlpperary" follows a
protest from Mrs. Ellen Ryan Jolly, of
Providence, R. I national president of the
auxiliaries of tho Ancient Order of Hiber
nians. It is published In tho Boston Pilot,
tho official organ of Cardinal O'Connell in
Boston (3). The protest receives n certnln
amount of sanction from the following edi
torial comment: "Mrs. Jolly doesn't mince
nor spare woids In her condemnation of mis
representation of tho Irish race, nor of tho
attempts to doddle it."
Mrs. Jolly writes:
With nil tho pent-up scorn of my loyal
Tlpperary henrt, I rcsont the Insult nnd ut
ter this public and indignant protest against
such prostitution of my heritage, tho blood
and spirit of the Tlpperary my mother loved.
Sho describes the song ns "maudlin, men
dnclous set of Jingling, meaningless doggerel,
sung in rngtlmo. by the poltroons wearing
tho lobster back uniform of the British
nrmy"; and adds. God lovo and bless sweet
Tlpperary, for my heart Is surely there; and
It's thero I'm longing to be to tell the
"matchless men of Tlpperary" to continue
to refuse to accept tho King's Bhllllng, to
refuse to wear the livery of the Brit sh ty
rant, to refuse to listen to England's mad
nppeals for Irish volunteers to tight Ire
land's old friends.
A Brooklyn doctor, traveling In tho British
Isles, suggests the other side of the picture
In a description of Sunday morning service
in old Saint-Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh
(4), Doctor Kavanagh writes:
Thl3 is the oldest parish church of the
city, founded In the 12th century. It was a
military service. Two thousand soldiers
were present and enough of their friends to
crowd tho edifice. Their chaplain preached
from the text, "Put on the Whole Armor of
God." There was no hard word for the foe,
but nn appeal of the Cromwelllnn type to
remember that Qod was their refuge, and
nothing short of the whole armor could fit
them for the trenches.
Christianity and Socialiim
While the church dos not apologize for
the war. Socialists do, and incidentally at
tack tbs church for falling to. Max East
man, who is the son of a Protestan minis
ter, writes (6) ;
I would Uka to call the attention of thoso
who are shouting about the breakdown of
Socialist internationalism in this war to tho
fact that, while Socialists have been preach
ing the conception of internationalism only
sixty-odd years, the Christian church has
been preaching internationalism for 20 cen
turies, and et nobody Is shouting about Its
breakdown And why? Because they do not
take It seriously, and for 18 centuries they
hae not takan U seriously. And why do they
shout about the breakdown at Socialist in
ternaUoiwUsmT Because, though It is so
young, thiy know it to be founded upon a
truth as to the real natur of humanity and
ot human history. ad they do Uise it seri
ously. C hanging the Subject
Among the non-war articles, one of the
most notable te found Id the Catholic World.
In which a priest. Father Cuthbert, O. 8. V.
the Magazines
O, writes with unusual frankness of his
opinion of tho present relation of hl ownv
church to the development of the arts, and
to progressive thought (6):
,Tho. f(lct ,s undeniable that in the netf
vltnl development of art In the l&th nnd 10tl
centuries, whethor in literature or in paint
ing, tho main Btrenm has run outside the
church nnd has been but llttlo intlueticca
by Catholio life. Tho samo must also be
snld of philosophy, nnd to somo rxtefit bt
theology. To progressive thought tho
thought which creates now epochs in tho
world'n history tho Catholic body has been
in tho position either of a strnnger or ot a
professed enemy. That tho circh has lost
something by this long nttltuSo of hostility
nnd suspicion to tho world's thought nnd
art, overy one must admit who considers
tho subject: on tho other hatid, but for this
uttltudo sho might have lost more Her au-
inoniy nna existenco ns an institution wore
challenged on all sides, and sho was forced
into nn attitudo essentially and almost ex
clusively defensive.
A scientist, Doctor Moyrlclt Booth, has
inado nn interesting comparative study of
tho productiveness of Catholio nnd Prot
estant marriages, and ho finds that part ot
Protestantism's decllno in this country may
bo attributed to Its conspicuously falling
birth rato (7). Incidentally, Doctor Booth
is himself a Protestant Ho gives figures
showing that in Indiana, Iowa, Mnryland,
California and Kentucky, whore foreigners
and Cntholtcs aro In a minority, tho birth
rato averages 13 to 10 per 1000; whereas in
fivo other States, New York, Hhodo Island,
Massachusetts, Michigan and Connecticut, in
which tho Roman Catholics nro In n ma
jority, tho birth rate runs from 22 tp 2G per1
1000.
Ho concludes:
Modern Protestantism is now (In practice
If not in theory) virtually Identified with a
very extremo typo or Mnlthuslanlsm. In con
sotiuenco of thl3 state of affairs, It Is being
driven back In practically all the great cen
tres of civilization, both In tho old world nnd
tho new, while tho cream of Its human ma
terial Is suffering gradunl extinction. It
Protcstnnt thinkers nro alive to the gravity
of tho situation, ls It not tlmo thnt they
should nsk themselves very seriously tho
question: Aro wo prepared to accept this
extreme Mnlthuslanlsm, this anxious nnd
drastic restriction of tho family, as tho truo
Ideal of Christian marriage?
Does Not Apply to "Hilly" Sunday
Bruce Barton, who, like Max Eastman, is
tho son of n clergyman, and Is In addition
tho sales mannger of n largo publishing
house, writes breezily on "Tho Tyranny of
the Text" (8). Ho evidences his confessed
newspaper training In his objection to what
ho considers tho false psychology of the .
minister's procedure in preaching a sermon:
Thero ls nn nlmost breathless interest as
he steps to the front of tho platform. What
w he say? Surely a striking Bentenco that
will crystallize tho attention into interest.
Any salesman will say that the first sentence
of tho "canvass" Is worth nil tho other sen
tences together. Any newspaper man knows
tho story Is made or lost In tho first half
dozen words. So tho audlenco leans for
ward a llttlo. tho preacher opens his mouth
and says what? "Matthew, tho sixth chap
ter and tho 28th verso" (Pause). "Consider
tho lilies of the flold, how thoy grow. They
toll not, neither do they spin. Matthew,
Bixth chapter and 23 th verse." Somothlng
like a deep sigh rlse3 out ot the audience.
a rustlo ns of many souls taking leave of i
their bodies at once. The wholo crowd set
tles back dejectedly jn its shoulder-blades.
Women glance nt each other's hats, men
drop Into deep contemplation of their finger
nails. Tho deed Is done; Interest has been
deliberately murdered on tho altar: to ro
vlvo It now will require an almost super
human exertion.
