Tho Phllntlolpliln Orchestra ninl the conductor, Mr. Stokowskl, nlwojs at tuclr best in a Tschntkowskv program, gave three of tlio great llussinn com poser's finest orchestral compositions nt yesterdny afternoon's concert. As usunl. tho announcement of the 11 minor symphony ( l'athetlquc) nlono was sulll ctcnt to pack tub auditorium to the doors. The concert opened with Iho sym phony, and rnrclv lias It been belter performed In this city. It Is a work of strong contrnsts, both In mood and In orchestration ntid dynamics. Al though the prevailing tono of fecllug and of color is pathetic almost to mor bidity, Its tremendous emotional appeal cannot be denied, nor can the wealth of melodic mnterlal of tho highest order nor the poignant hnrmonics. Contrast is one of the effects which liotl) the lender And the members of the Philadel phia Orchestra nrodttco best, nnd with Mr. Stokowskt's intense reading of the work, ns ho reads everything by isclinl kowsky. It is little wonder that the effect produced by tho symphony was oneof tho most profound of tne season The svmiihonv urim Kiinerhlv nlned tho tone of tho orchestra seeming U bo especially good and tho ensemble un usually lino at certain points,' such as tho lilemlliii- of tlio horn tones Into those of the muted trombones nt the close 6f tho first movement nnd many other places too numerous to mention. With due attention to tne many solo voices of tho orchestra in tho symphony, Mr. Htokowski yesterday achieved tho licst ensemble that ho has produced this icnson. At the close of tho third move ment the audience gave both conductor und otchcJtrn n veritable ovation. It made the biggest popular "lilt" of nny of the lnovrmentH. Ill strong contrast to the dlrgeUko symphony came the "Nttlcincker" suite,. oue or tlio low orchestral compositions of Tschnlkowsky which hns nothing of sadness about it. l.lke tne symphony, the suite was magnificently played, but, ns the composition demands, from an entirely different nngle. it being u work for solo voices, rather thnn tin elabo rate ensemble Mr. Van den llceint, who plnycd the celeste very effectively in the Dauco of thu Sugar l'liiin fairy, and Messrs. Mniiuarre, I.a Monaca and b'ischer, first, second nnd third llutes of the orchestra, who did splendid work in tho Dnnco of tho flutes, worn obliged to acknowledge the iipplnuso which greeted them at the close of these num bers. Tho horn uunrtct. one of the best choirs in the Philadelphia Orches tra or nny other, for thnt matter did its usual excellent work in tho Dance of the flowers. The Nutcracker suite Is an outstanding example of what can he done with effective ntchcstrutlon without tho use of musical ideas of the first order. Nevertheless, it is one of the most charming of tho smaller mod ern orchestral compositions. The concert cluiril with the ponder ous nnd nt times noisy overture, "18111." which was also well played. Mr. Stokowskl placed tho extra brass Instruments on the stnge jeslerday in stead of having thcni in the proscenium boM, ns heretofore, with a gain in the unity of tone.

Mr. IMsom'h "(ientlc Art of Col tunning." it is maintained, if I remem ber rightly, that all iutnor, ns well ns all wit, is referable to a kind of mitllce in us thnt delights In seeing the laugh on the other fellow. I have never liked this idea of humor, nnd with Mr. Ed son's pardon will say thnt I do not believe it as to nil humor. And I would cite both Mr. Howe's "Towns" ns Il lustrations in point. There Is no want of discernment in cither of them, nnd many of their inhnbitnnts are as hnrd. as wrong-headed and ns nbsurd, well, as wc are out selves. The college-bred lawyer' who enme down In the world until his wife kept cows, of whom his rival snld: "If he ever makes mo mnd, I'll just quit tnklng milk of dim and starve him to death"; the daugh ter wiio would have the blinds down of nights although her sick old father wanted to look out nt the stars: the slanderous wife who invented tales of her deserted husband h wealth nnd nig gnrdllnes nnd riilne'd him in none of these tnithtui little sketches or .Mr. llowo Is there mnlico or uncharitable ness. AVe need Mr. Howe's "Towns" ns n corrective of I ho horrid "tuortii- aries" of Spoon river. It Is one thing to detest tho entire human rnco liko Swift it in another to laugh nt men nnd women, nnd, what Is still better, to laugh with them. Wit nnd humor, with their outriders to the left, satire, lampoon nnd invective ; to tlio right, pathos and tenderness have always seemed to me more, things in the na ture of rlie spectrum, governed to the left with the light rays of the head, nnd to the right with tlio heat rny.s of tlio heart. Where they dissolve, thn one into the other, it might be difficult often to say, but we know when wc nro warmed, nnd wc nro aware when only the Hash light has been tinned on. MK. MASTHUS once confessed, 1 believe, that It was the Oreek anthology which Inspired "Spoon Kivcr" from tho very Irony of mor tuary Inscription. I wonder if Mr. Howe knows old Thcophrnstus, with his "simple method, plnin black nnd white," vltb his language, "the .sim plest possible, neither bookish nor doc trinal nor controversial He relies for bis effect on thu simplicity of truUi When you laugh it is nt humor In its last clement of sln plc incongruity." This is recent learned criticism of Theoplirastits, not the present reviewer's effort as to Mr. Howe. Hut 'twill serve. "How much one gets from n little talk, to bu sure." says thn Loquacious Man" Mr. Howe would have called him .Tim Walker "and his children say to him nt bed time: 'Papa, chatter to us. that wo may fall iish-ep.' This is Tlieopliras tus, not Mr. Howe. "We haven't n dully paper in our. town," says Mr. Howe, not TiirophrastiiH, "but really we don't greatly miss one, owing to Mr. Stoveus. the inilKmnii." And just ono more: "Sand Mcl'herson, the bar ber, snys he charges five dollars for hhaving n dead man because he is com pelled to throw mtin the razor he uses, lint how do we know bo throws the razor nwny?"

Tiie Jew's themselves arc not agreed on It, so how e'otlld the rest of im bo expected to be of one mind? (tilbort K. Chesterton, wlio went to .lerusuliMii n little more than n onr tigo to tudy tho question on the ground, has put -the result of his observations In n book, "The Xew Jerusalem." which hns already been attacked by two Jew ish rabbis. Yet Mr. Chesterton pro fesses n desire to bo fair, nol only to the .Ten, but to every oue else. The book is very much like the man himself. There is a slender skeleton of discussion of the main point at issue generously upholstered with running commentary on nlmost everything under the sun. Yet it Is nil entertaining in nrylng degrees, and in pluces it is most stimulating. Mr. Chesterton has renlly icviewed the nrocrcss of Christian civil ization fiom the beginning. He writes of the Invasion of Europe by the Moors. He goes into a long discussion of tho t riisiules and in passing he pays his respects to the German theory that tbese might., campaigns were merely the man ifestation of tho wnnderlust in a restless people and hnt no definite purpose. He deeply sympathizes with the spiritual motive back of the plans to reefer the Holy Sepulchre, nnd he hns reached rr,v definite conclusions nbout the proper custody of thnt sacred place now that the Christians nro once more In control of Jerusalem. It would be a mistake to put tlio Jews in charge, be says, because they nro huted by both the Mussulninns and the Christians who lun in Palestine. The simplest wn ..ut. in ills opinion, would be to pul I'altstliie under the suzerainty of a I'hristian power which should do Its best lr keep tiie peace between the Mussul mans, who are lu the majority, ami the Jews who nro there npw nnd those who may take up their residence there in tho future. Incidentally "Mr. Chesterton has d"- 'ci-ibctl Jerusalem nnd Palestine more j vividly than it has been done before. lie makes the reader see me contour, the color nnd the textures of tiie coun try, nnd he represents Jerusalem itself ns a mild riot ot color, not only in the (o.stnmrs of tlio people, but Inl the hues of the btone used in the buildings. And while there he discovered thnt the Christinas cards with snow scenes com mon in this part of tho world are not so far out of the -uny ns might be sup posed, for on Christ inns I'm1 while he was in tiie eit there was n snowstorm covering It with a blanket two feet thick. Ho finds in the conduct of the people nu excellent illustration of the difference between the Kast nnd tin West. The English soldiers begun to shovel the snow away from the bar racks the next Inornlng. The native Jews nnd Mussulmans iieccptcd it ns one ot the inconveniences of life nnd made no attempt to shovel their wny out. It is doubtful if what Mr. Chesterton has to say about the fute of Palestine will btive nny influence on the states men. Ho probabl would be more sur prised thnn any one else it it should affect their policy. His ends were ac complished when he had written down an nccount-of his reactions to a visit to the great city from which our modern civilization received its inspiration. THI'. NKW JKKfx.M K 1.

TASTES A MAN OF GOD Dr. Hill Writes About Lin- coin's Religious Faith ; Tlio one impression left by Dr. HiU'r j book, "Abraham Lincoln: Mnn of tod," Is that tho greatest of Americano was Abraham Lincoln. This was due to the fact thnt, from IiIr youth, nt i every tlmo be was doubtful as to the! wny his duly lay, he sought for guld- I nnce und help from his henvenlv l'ntlier In showing this profound belief In God, I says our coming President Harding. In I an introduction to the work, "the nu-' tlior of this volume hns rendered a serv ice as opportunely patriotic ns it Is last ingly religious." In It "Lincoln stands before us," says Major (Jenernl Worn' In it foreword, "a heroic and earnest figure as one humbly seeking tho in spiration, counsel nnd help of the Al mighty As otic reads one feel" that Lincoln was, Indeed, it 'Man of (Jntl.' " Though not n biography, the book in full of information In regard to his lifo'from tho enrliest days in tin Ken tuck shack to the White House. This is derived from n careful study nf the most reliable sources, nnd thetc are many quotations irom the numerous works nbout Lincoln. While to show the religious element in his chnrarter is Mr. Hill's main object, yet lie does not loso sight of his humorous fld and love of story-telling. The conviction, thnt mnny hnvo had. that Lincoln wus nn Irreligious man, because for the greater part of his life he was not a church member, is shown to be absolutely without foundation by the numerous testimonies to his pro foundly religious character given by those who knew him from his early manhood to his death. The book close with a thoughtful statement of his Christian view of labor. AltUAlfVM I.IMOI.N MAN OP OOD. I) ' John W sley Jill! 1). 1).. I.T.,.!., chancellor r.f Lincoln Memo, ul University.
