He also is profoundly indebted to Voltaire for the idea that fun can be made out of the ever glorious Maid of France, as he is indebted to her other biographers for the knowledge that in her life is ready provided the elements of a great tragedy, thrilling with sublime speech and action. Shaw disagrees' with Anatole France because he makes her only a "mascot." This is a travesty of France who approaches his subject with all the reverence of which an anti-clerical mind is capable. Joan was the mascot of France, just as Clemenceau or Lloyd George were the mascots of the Allied cause. She, as they did, provided the rallying point of national morale in the Tark- est hour. In her case it was neces- sary to be on the firing line. Now~ adays leaders stand farther back. That is all Anatole France says. "We now reach the paragraphs de- voted to Shaw's own interpretation of the heroine. It is unfortunate that he has not the one essential requisite for the comprehension of the character of St. Joan, namely, an appreciation of spiritual values, without that she remains an enig- ma. She is made to call her first follower "Polly." If she called him Polly, what would he have very soon called her? But this humble squire years after when he was an old man, giving evidence at the re- trial which removed the stain on her name and character, told how in the first days as they rode out a little handful of men on this mission of such portentious weight, "thelr hearts were inflamed wih a heaven- ly ardour by the inspiration of her words and bearing." As to where Joan derived her own inspiration, according to Shhw, it was from herself. She was the spontaneous outbreak of the New Woman. She was of the tribe of Carrie Nation or Mrs. Chapman Catt. Never mind what Joan said herself, that she saw visions and heard voices (the asylums are full, says Shaw, of those who have d such). That was the way it took her. And yet if there is anything in the whole record of spiritual his- tory from Moses and Flias to Wes- ley and Newman, Joan was inspired by her visions (whether it be in the body or out of the body, I know not) and inspiration came to her through the atmosphere in which she was brought up. She was the pattern and example of Christian virtues, of faith and prayer, the frequenting of the sacraments. By this alone she had that single mind- ed purpose which could move moun- tains. She herself - answered the sceptics by that matchless reasoning which amazed and confounded. "If St. Michael is with you," they said, "what need of soldiers?" "Wiy the soldiers will fight," she replied, "and God will give the victory." Shaw cannot understand these things. Church-going and the sacraments, he airily describes as her favorite luxuries. .. Yet he does not hesitate to make capital out of her very sub- fmity. - They asked her temptingly t her trial, if she was in a state of grace, if with her pretensions to spiritual power she claimed sinless- ness as well. "If IT am, may God keep me 80," she sald. "If not, may He bring me to it." This makes us think of Christ and the Pharisees, but Shaw's superwoman would not have thought of such an answer. As she asserted herself in these ways with such force it is hardly surprising that she was burnt for insufferable and unwomanly presumption, and Shaw has her burnt by two upright and ind dent church , Bishop SHAW'S "JOAN OF ARC" A Criticism by Prof. W. M. Conacher, Queen's University. In last Saturday's Whig there is what constitutes a foreward on Shaw's "St. Joan," shortly to appear .

The author of the "Yankee at the Court of King Arthur" was that Mark 'Twain Cauchon and the Inguisitor--a pure- ly fictitious and Shavian character. Here is his most glaring inaccuracy. He airily admits it in his preface, when he says such characters did not exist, perhaps, but I had to create them. In reality Cauchon, a pluralist and a simonist, was all along in the pay of England d was perverting ecclesiastical justie for political purposes to smirch the reputation of Joan and so to discre- dit the Coronation of her king. He knew it perfectly well. He suppres- sed any evidence to the contrary, he threatened to throw into the Seine anyone who tried to stand up for Joan. He was excommunicated in God's good time, and he died as he was being shaved. His effigy on his tomb shows him for the red- bladder-chops he was. The deputy Inquisitor did his best to get out of the job; he shivered the whole time in fear of Cauchon and He was a coward, it £ §° siF BE; ¥ -------- i SATURDAY, APRIL 11. 1985.

As for the breach of promise, a country swain said there was a con- tract of marriage between him and Joan. - Joan proved to the satisfac- tion of the court there was not. It you accept Shaw's Joan of Are, how much poorer are you for an- other high belief gone before = flip- pant higher criticism? St Joan is a single star in a country of disil- lusionment and spiritual darkness in high places. As with Chaucer, many ecclesiastics are uasparingly condemned, but the true light is found in the "peore parson of a towne," so in this peasant girl there is a rare and cheering light, echoed from St. Francis in the contury be- fore, passed on to Thomas A. Kem- pis in the next. I believe that Christians as a whole, apart from the church to which they belong, recognize and cherish that light and give glory to God for it, Shaw himself is a queer fish. He takes up the position nf a sceptic, yet evidently he is violently inter- ested in religion. There is a story told by Anatole France of a clown who went into a monastery. There he found there was nothing he could do to the greater glory of God. Then the prior found him ora day in the chapel before the altar of our lady, standing on his head and juggling with two balls with nis feet. It was all he could do to practica his art. Perhaps that is Shaw's way. Let it not be thought that any of this is a reason why we should not 80 to see a notable play and a no- table actor. I have my own notion that Shaw knew full well that ihe public would read into the play the traditional Joan. The New York pictures show Joan om her knees at a shrine. The focus is shifted from Shaw's centre of vision' to the favo- rite luxury! Farmers Are Plowing. Ompah, April 8.--Sugar making is about over and the yield of syrup is below the average.
