with I mission the pulling down of the Presbyterian creed Tho author in his prefnco says Some readers of this novel will charge the author with the crime of laying a sacrilegious hand upon the ark of God others will characterize hlo work as an assault upon a windmill I contend and the fact If I It b a fact Is ample Justification Justifica-tion for this book that the Westminster Confession of Faith has driven many honest hon-est souls to the gloom of unbelief to the desperate need of a denial of God anti that today n very largo number of adhu rent of tjint confession find It possible to maintain their faith In God only by secret rejection of a creed they openly profess Take from that confession those articles which give rise to the dilemma which confronts con-fronts the wife and mother of this story and nothing IK left Tho articles In quea llon are tho essential articles of the confession con-fession He who can in honesty nay of The Westminster Confession of Faith This la my standard by this sign I shall conquer1 he and ho only has tho right to condemn my purpose Unfortunately hoxvever the author Is not empowered to fix the limitation of his crlllca and most of them unhesitatingly will decline to o unhslalngh wi Ileclne act ac-t the place he establishes for them For It Is not necessary for one to bo an unreserved partisan of that confession In I order to object to such an exaggeration I of tho difficulties IK tho novelist finds it necessary lo maIm in order to developtho Intricacies of sccifo and analysis ho finds useful In wrlllng the story The wonrn who Ls put In such agony of mind by the conflicts between her religious faith and duty and her natural Inclinations and human hu-man feeling Is a creature not of flesh and bIQO but one made for the occasion n mere lay flguro upon which to demon strata the awfulness of a literal acceptance accept-ance of the dogmas which uro attacked The scene of Iho story Is I in France and Germany but It might its well bo anywhere far that Is concerned where else so as concered for the locality Is but a mere canvass on which to depict the horrors o an awful conflict and tragedy of tho soul That tho author hug depicted this conflict and tragedy with a good deal of force maybe I may-be granted and yet ono remains unconvinced uncon-vinced 1 Actual flesh and blood men and women have lived and died with this confession con-fession as their standard and nobler better more vital vigorous beings never had tho blood of humanity In their veins than they The evils ot that creed are more speculative than real and It la I not worth while to dwell too strongly upon the dark side of I and pile horror upon horror In Imaginary woes brought on by I when so much good from Its Influence has been Infused Into our race Tho Untllled Field By Gcorgo Moore author of Esther Waters Evelyn Inncs Sister Theresa and other stories of the realistic school Tho present ono Is devoted to an exposition In tho form of stories clothing the thread In tho form of actual poisons tho results of observations In Ireland Ho found there a good deal to stir his soul he look with him from Ireland opinions upon certain responsibilities responsibil-ities In the native life which If not wholly new ho has expressed with a freedom and confidence that make them of unusual Interest In-terest The first thing that struck him on arriving arriv-ing In Ireland he says wa the extraordinary extraordi-nary number of priests that one met with on the tramways In the slrcels and in the drawlngroomn and very soon aflor wards ho noticed that all of thin bcaull ful country houses around Dublin were being turned Into convents and monasteries monas-teries Ho began Indeed to ace Ireland ns a sort of Western Thlhet and ho learned that there were fifteen mlllldna of money that was spent on religion each year and that as ho puts It the general gen-eral desire was lo escape from the world Into a convent or monastery Mr Moore quotes the slalonicnt of one dHtingulshcd cardinal who upon the occasion I oc-casion of a visit l to Ireland said that at I the beginning of the century there were ono hundred nuns In Ireland and that thoro are now twenty thousand and musing upon this he marvels that tho cardinal did nt t perceive In It a dangerous dan-gerous liability After all Mr Moore observes there must be n laity A laity Is as necessary as the clergy and a countr musl come to an end IC tho desire de-sire of every one Is to emigrate or become be-come a priest or nun There arc forty thousand Catholics leaving l Ireland to escape from a bloodless and unintelligent life from a puritanical Catholicism which obtains nowhere except In Ireland Mr Moor accounts for this by what he cal a lack of vital principle both physical phy-sical and mental and cilcs as historical example the French colony planted on the banks of Iho SL Lawrence where he says Catholic France failed to strike In permanent rootn for all tho nobility and heroic purpose of its plan because It had no natural growth no power of expansion within Itself with half of Its Immigrants sent to replenish the colony celibates nl 1 ready and the other made celibates by circumstance The whole colony was on an artificial bnfls I and lacking family life proved sterile and was with very hit the resistance absorbed by the rapid development de-velopment of English colonial life ireland Ire-land Mr Moore says la In somewhat similar case and not the least among I shnlar time minor causes for this dangerous liability lia-bility to his mind Is the Inability of I the Irish dory to understand the conditions l condi-tions under which secular life alone can thrive Ho says The rule o the priests is so fierce thai Illegitimate love has been reduced to a minimum and when a chile Is born out of wedlock the one desire of the priest Is to drive the girl out of his pariah not thinking that the girl may ho driven to suicide or to prostitution on the streets o London or Liverpool There Is no courtship In an Irish village tho sexes do not mlnglo anil going to and returning from mass tIns men walk on one aide oc the road tho women on the I other For generations the Irish peasantry peasan-try have married without desire and the spring of life is drying up In Ireland I Those In whom It still flows emigrate Those In whom It dwindles become priests and nuns and these find little outlet forth for-th lr Intelligence There Is no persona religion In Ireland only religious formulae formu-lae all that need be known about life death and destiny Rome supplies cut nnd dried like tobacco I is a distinctly saddening picture But Mr Moore is a great artist and ho sees things as they contribute to the material and purpose of his stories That Ls expected ex-pected But his pessimistic view I does not prevent his making of this work ono of vital and absorbing Interest I Is n work of great power combining great breadth of conception and massive outline vllh
