To The EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
In reply to your correspondent OF to-day, who
docs not believe in eternal punishment, should
like to call his attention to the following texts, and
ask his opinion on them MATTHEW XIV, 4e-"And
these shall 90 away into everlasting punishment;
but the righteous into lie eternal.n Daniel xiii, p
"And many Of them that sleep in the dust Of the
earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and
some to everlasting contempt and shame" Isaiah

Who Are tho Reprcse ntattvo Protestant
and Catholic ClergymenS
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Your comparison, In the manner of Plutarch, Of
certain representative Protestant and Roman
Catholic clergymen, in your issue Of Sunday last,
was certainly interesting. It Ia open, however, to
doubt whether any Episcopalian would approve OF
your selection Of Drs Dix and Ever as the abest
men in his communion In New York. They are both
men Of ability, DR.. Dix especially 80; but other
names occur which rank higher than either. In
learning theological, DR.. Seabury, Of the General
Seminary is Jdct,e princeps in his communion. DR..
Washburne, OF Calvary Church, is perhaps, next
beside him, and, in addition, is one OF the ablcst
preachers In the land-lOgical, learned and power
full. DR.. Rylance, OF St Marks Is preacher vastly
in advance Of the representatives you name, pos
sessng some Of the rarest gifts OF the pulpit
orator. But in naming the distinguished Epis-
cOpal clergy of New Ork 1t Is like Hamlet with
Hamlet lett out' to omit the most many-sided, and
most wildly known and influential of them ALL the
rector Of Christ church and editor OF the Church
yOtu7dl-Hugh Miller Thompson.
DIR. Thompson has been called 'the Beecher or
Epsc0pacy," but no two men, with strong points
Of resemblance could be more unlike. Up to within
o year DIR. ThOmpSons life has been that or q stu
dent, thinker and u writer. He has few superi0rs
In the land as q deeply read scholar and man OF
large and liberal knowledge Comparatively young,
no man has welded anything like his influence In
moulding opinion In the Episcopal Church In these
latter days. But 1t was not known except to few
In New York that In addition to his qualities as
man OF learning, writer and reasOner, Dr.
Thompson also possessed the gifts OF rare and
wonderful popular eloquence. He breaches rom
the altar steps, "withOut note or comment" He
is gifted generously with the physical basis OF ora
tory-an athletic frame; broad, deep. chest;
with dsOrdered masses Of c0ablack, curling hair,
and lghtened by pair OF deep, brown eyes, with
that sad, p0etcal faraway look 80 peculiar TO irish
eyes, His birth may account as well for the lmpas-
siOned headOng flow Of an el0quence ut once
fiery and tender, fierce and full OF pathos, de-
nvered with voice that sweeps all the gamut
Of human feeling. His church has become
crowded to overnOwng since he came, and even on
these swetering nights, when his people are out OF
town, 1t is filed with strangers
In mentioning the great pulpit orators OF the city,
among those OF the Episcopal Church we cannot
allow the most original certainly, and perhaps, the
most powerful since DIR. Hawks, to De passed over
Scholar, poet orator, OF DR.. Thompson more than
any there are those who say
For he on honeyde hath fed
And drunk the milk OF Paradise.
