If saying thing in a downright unambiguous manner constitutes a realist then Mr. Pink is an ultra- realist. He does not mince mat- ters but uses his corrosive pen to call a apade not merely a spade but all kinds of a shovel. His ar- kument is that government' by de- mocracy, such as we now have, is an anachronism, and that if Dri- tain continues to consider the vote of a semi-idiot of the same value as the vote of a professor her ruin' is inevitable. He has some pun- gent and thought-provoking re- marks on education, trysts, mass- production, advertising, broadenst- ing, etc., and cleverly distinguishes- between the receptive and creative powers of individuels.

RIVALS OF CHRISTIANITY ORPHISM,

"From Orpheus to Paul: A Hlu- tory of Orphism," by V. D. Macchioro: Constable & Co., 12 6 nei, Two early forms of belief, Mithraism and Orphism, ought to receive far more attemion than they do. Each, in the periods leading up to the opening of the Christian era was in the running for the dominant place among the religions of Western Europe. At ene period it seemed a very doubt- ful race between Mithee and the Pale Galilean." Christianity pre- vailed; but it did so by absorbing many of the most important doc trines of Mithra.. So many of these doctrines and practices did Christianity take over hodily that some of the early Fathers sald the Devil and pre-ordained base imita- tions of the Christian religion in nrder to deceive the elect.

Summary of Doctrines, Here is a summary of some of these doctrines 112 Mitbraism, given in brief by Prof. Cumont, The greatest authority on this re- ligion:--

"The adepts of both formed secret conventicles closely unit- ed, the members of which gave themselves the name of 'Brothers. The rites which they practised offered numerous analogics. The accretaries of

pion of the Western world to-day: and whet differences there would now be in our Western civilisation if the accepted religion were Mitha Worship and not Christian- ity.

The other great religious force of the ancient world was Orphism. Here we have even greater diffi culties the a with Mithraism. Orphism was steeped in mysteries. The neophyte had to go through. a series of mystic rites as part-of his initiation.

| The secrecy surrounding the purifies on made it very difficult even at the time, and more diffi cult still after 2,000 years, to dis- over the exact doctrine implied or taught.

The volume under review is a brilliant effort by a well-known authority to expound the underly. ng dottrine and teaching of Orpheus; to trace its opposition

to the Olympic ereed of Greece;" to unfold its ungrecian elements; to show its influence on the great Greek thinkers, Heraklitua and Plato and finally to show how the substratum of the mystic part, the immortality of the soul, and the Katharsis were adopted as the very basis of Pauline Christian- ity.

"This process by which the historical event of Christ's re surrection becomes the spiritual rebirth of men is expounded by Paul in his Epistle to the

TO Romans. The logical process of St. Paul's thought, notwith Transfigure standing the obscurity arising from his language consists of four factors:--

1. Christ dies in order free mankind from the Adamic sin.

2. This deliverance is attained by dying and being born again with him.

3. The body is the sea: u sir. 4. By being born again sin is

destroyed in the body.

In other words, as I said above; the historical death and resurrection of Christ, having been real events, now become spiritual evente in man. There. is a passing from history to spirit, from past to present, from Christ to man. This pre-1 Ceso is expressed by Paul through two concepts: law and faith. Law means the historical act that once Christ died in order to atone for man's sin. Faith points to the spiritual fact of the human rebirth. Law is useless without faith; faith is the means by which law becomes effective in human life. In other words, salvation is achiev- ed in two ways; first, by means of law which makes Christ a vic-. tim of Adamic sin, and after- wards by means of faith, which delivers men from sin through communion with Christ."

No Injustice to Author, Any effort to shorten down curtail the statement of another's position must inevitably do a cer- tain injustice to a writer's theory. This must be borne in mind here. In outline Dr. Macchioro's theory the Persian God, like the Chris is somewhat as follows:-Orpheus tians, phrified themselves by was a Thracian, shaman-like reli. baptism; received by a species | gious teacher who built up trance of confirmation, the power experien:es of mediumship necessary to combat the spirits of evil; and expected from a and doctrine of the after-life. and printers' errors in it.
