Jean-Pierre Camus, Evêque de Belley

If one studies rather attentively either the religious trends or the minor literary movements of seventeenth-century France, one constantly runs across the name of Jean-Pierre Camus, bishop of Belley, and yet one finds that adequate investigation of his work has not yet been undertaken. He does have, however, several claims to our attention. More exactly than any of his contemporaries, he interpreted the spirit of saint François de Sales. Fifty years before Quietism was introduced into France, he wrote at length and with discernment about pure love. He was famous in his day for his fearless attacks on the monastic orders; at the same time, Richelieu considered him one of his most valuable allies in his efforts to reconcile the Protestants and the Catholics. For all intents and purposes, he invented the religious novel, a genre which in our century has again become important in France. Finally he has the rather doubtful honor of being one of the three or four most prolific writers of France.

The Lady under the Tree

THE RELIGIOUS TREND in Indian mentality is so great a creative power that it always takes first place in every analysis of Indian art. Nevertheless the soul of India was not only that of a priest but that of a poet as well. All the rivers and ponds, trees and groves to which worship is offered all over the country bear witness that the Indian mind was so sensitive toward nature as to attach religious significance to its objects. The Indians who included animals as well as man in the circle of kharma ascribed some kind of humanlike existence to plants also. If for reasons of caste rule a girl had to marry and no bridegroom was available she was, and is even nowadays, married to a tree and this marriage was considered as valid as any other. It was no mere ceremony. In the opinion of an Indian, a tree was not necessarily a mere piece of wood, but could be full of life, and susceptible to emotions, and thus on the same level of existence as men or women.

Some Aspects of Party History in British Columbia, 1871-1903

Party in the sense of party organization has significance for the student of history. Not only is it the agency that determines what group shall operate the machinery of government but it may also be a reflection of racial and religious loyalties, economic interests and social trends, and the analysis of its functioning therefore an explanation of past and present day life.' A study of party history in British Columbia is of interest not only to students of the British Empire but to students of American and United States history as well. The latter may find in the observation of party organization and practice in this particular setting some clarification of what is essential in these expressions of political life; to students of the Empire an analysis of party life may reveal some evidence of the intellectual and sentimental bonds that have united England with the Dominions.
