"A GREY WORLD"
DEAN INGE DISCGITRSES UPON MODERN NOYELS. An attack on modern popular literature was made by Dean Inge, when he preached at Wootton Church, near "Wfoodstock, last month. "It seems to me," he said, "that nearly all the writers who are popular give us a very grey world — plenty of sordid vice and mean conduct. These they descri'be without indignation, as if human nature were just like that. "There is no nobility ab'out any of the characters ,and the whole effect is to give us a much. poorer picture of real life than most of us know it to be. "It is much to be desired that some great writer shiall arise who- has seen life- in all its glory and all its tragedy. "The -effect of much mod-ern- literature must be to make youn-g readers hold. themselves and oth'ers cheap, which is one of the worst disservices we can do to ourselves and each lother."
