WHEN the People of the Primeval Ferest gathered
around the camp-fire, who strengthened their
hearts against the fears of the night? The story-teller,
with his pictures of mythical heroes who had conquered
the fees of .weeds and cave.
When the medieval knights gathered in the castle
hall en the eve of tournament or battle, who strength
ened their courage for the morrow? The minstrel,
with his tales of legendary deeds, of the triumph of
courage ever cunning, of honor ever falsehood.
In the present-day world, who is of greatest inspira
tion in the battle of life? The professor with his lectures?
The preacher with his sermons? The writer of article
and editorial? Unquestionably these have their great
power. But the greatest power and inspiration of all
comes from the .writer of geed . fiction, as it has in
all ages.
Why? Because geed fiction is the truth about' life,
the interpretation. of. life.
Geed fiction is honest and searching. It shows what
forces underlie accomplishment, what insidious temp
tations lead te compromise and defeat.
It punctures tawdry pretence. It reveals the nobility
in humble lives. It proves that rich and peer, ancient
man and modern, scientist and priest, sea-captain and
captain of industry, housewife and clubweman, are
bound together by common humanity.
