...April number of the Atlantic Monthly appeared early this week. The stories continued from March are "Yone Santo," by E. H. House; "The Aspern Papers," by Henry James, and "The Despot of Broomsedge Cove," by Charles Egbert Craddock. A paper on "English Faith in Art," by Miss Pennell, questions whether a revival in art is not accompanied by a decline in religious feeling. To students of the fine arts this subject will be of great interest. Mr. Lowell contributes a poem, "Turner's Old Temeraire." An article on Lasalle, the Socialist, by D. O. Kellogg, is an interesting description...
...Huxley rejoiced to call himself an agnostic. So did Darwin, although Darwin at times leaned toward theism. Our great teachers at Harvard have been great theists, and no doubt Gray was greatly influenced by his companions. The theistic form of evolution seems never to have disturbed Asa Gray's faith. I wish to say that through his whole life Asa Gray was a student of theology; but Darwin said he had no time for studying religious truths. Gray observed Sunday; Darwin did not.

The writer calls those who burst their bonds and try to fill a sphere...
...Imagination in Architecture" is a good attempt, but it fails to prove anything, through the self-same fault of which the writer accuses Ruskinmere assertion. The writer begins by abusing Ruskin for asking us to accept his statements on simple faith, and then turns round and asks his readers to believe that the effect produced on him (the writer) by a certain style of architecture is the same which would be produced on everyone. The paper is not long enough for a thorough ventilation of the subject, and is therefore, rather unsatisfactory...
