As one leads H, O. Wells's nctlonal treatment of his dlscovsry of God one re ceives tho Impression that ho has discov ered tho folly of going oft half-cocked. In 'Tho Koul of a Bishop" he. takea back by Implication much that ho said In "God, the Invlslblo King." Ills bishop makes the discovery of God which Mr, Wells made.

C. WELLS life it docs not become such a new or wondeiful thing after all Indeed, In order to make his story plausible, Mr Wells has to crcato a bishop who Is a man of second or third rato Intellect, with th temperament il characteristics of a "Billy" Sunday; that Is, nn emotionalist who nnds himself shipwrecked when ho tries to do any thinking on his own account, llo is suffering from neurasthenia when the storv opens A physician gives him a m.vstei Ions drug, opium or hashish, or some other thing which puts him Into a trance In which he sees things As In his nervous state he had begun to doubt the value of the established forms of religions observ ance his drug-Induced dreams take the form of a vision of God as the .supreme ruler of men llo takes n "-ciond dose of tho drug on the morning of tho day when ho Is to confirm a class of oung people, and while still under Its Innuciico ho preaches a setinnn In which he states his belief In a God whom he thinks Is different from the God of the Established Church, but who will be recognized In millions of Americans as tho God they have alwavs worshiped The bishop finally resigns his honors and leaves the Church for ho can no longer participate In Its sen ices Thero must be no stated times for worship, no piicsts and no sacraments, and the Individual soul must get Into direct communion with God. Ho thought at first, as Mr. Wells himself thought, that he had made a great dis covery, and that ho must proclaim a now religion. But as he thinks further Into his problem ho learns that ho Is not nlono; that his Idea of God Is shared by others In all parts of tho -world. It resembles that of the Friends so closely that ho aces the parallel. Yet ho finally discovers that God has a place for all types of Intellect and all forms of service. One can rpad between th,o lines and find evidence to Justify the conclusion that the bishop blundered when he left tho Church and that ho might havo continued to work and preach with perfect freedom If ho had onlv been able lo understand that tho vital matter Is the spirit behind tho forms. It Is doubtful If Mr Wells Intonded to give this Impression, hut the loglo of his argument, such as It Is, forces tho Impression on the thoughtful reader. Tho book Is the story of the catastrophe which follow when a half-baked Intellect grapples with weighty spiritual problems If Mr Wells had set out to satirize his discovery of God an nounced In tho two preceding books, he could not havo done It better.
