The Magazine of a
Remade V5brld
r
FICTION depicts the fatality of dis
tant events, the stream of national
tendency, the framework of causation"
That was said by Robert Louis
Stevenson, himself a writer of fiction,
whose name is known and whose
stories are read at the xurthermost
points our civilization has reached
The records of human discovery of
economic and social change, of the
relationship of men and women, when
studied parallel with the history of
literature, present innumerable con
spicuous examples of the undeniable
power of fiction to sway the human
heart and to guide the human mind.
Even the progress of religious thought
has been immeasurably advanced by
fiction Victor Hugo's immortal story,
"Les Miserables," made the ctivineness
of atonement comprehensible to grop
ing millions Within the, period of the
present generation the last bonds con
fining religious thought were broken
by Mrs Humphry Ward's story,
"Robert Elsmere" '
Just as these great works of fiction served
thefr time, so other stories of this day
are pointing the way America must go.

deep and abiding consciousness of this mighty power
of Fiction to influence and direct human life and. con
duct to depict the stream of our national tendency.
