MR.. HEPWORTHS CASE As SEEN BY BOS
TON UNTTARLANS

MR.. JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE's SERMON On THE
DETECTION
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: This day has been q marked one in the
OF Unitariansm. SO conspicuous secession from
its ranks that of the Reverend Mr. HepwOrth could not
pass unnotced and crowds thronged the not enormous
structure called Church OF the Disciples TO hear what so
weighty a man as James Freeman Clarke would say
about this dcserton and its alleged grounds The
assembly looked thrilled and expectant, nor were they
disappointed
The selection from Scripture Is apt to bear the
relation the coming the aspect of the morn
ing sky the day which is to follow. Each isa pretty
sure indexa harhngerportrat Of that which heralds
and ncghboring smile denoted great amusement, as
Dr. Clarke began to read OF Gideon and the men who
Tapped. The choice Of the text equally happy and
the discourse was eloquent indeed. There no inde
icacy injustice In the manner in which the course or
Mr.. Hepworth was reviewed. His shorsghted fol-
lies have woven lash that strikes him, and If be be
whole-soucd man. these rigorous dealings should only
highten his feryor. This ~ mind, though coming from
Bostonian Is not uttered because our friend has left
socalled liberal foe the conservative ranks. Truth
and tolerance forbid But he has long shown himself
keen a seeker Of popularity, eager lover Of "com-
pany" believe It is chiefly misery that feels the full
force Of this aectOn that his sincerity, whether inter.
nal external cannot DO vastly developed and won

Pulpit PccullaritieS.

The following extracts are taken from
"Salad for the Solitary and Social" re"
cent work:
IA parson," writes George Herbert, sis
the deputy of Christ for the reducing OF
man to the obedience of God" He furth-
er quantity adds "His apparel is plain,
but reverend and clean without spots or
dust the purity of his mind breaking out
and dilating itself, even to his body, clothes
and habitation." This remark of Herbert
probably originated the saying that
Itcleanliness is next 10 goodness" which
has been ascribed to John Wesley.
Among the early Christians the modern
style of preaching was reversed the
preacher generally delivered his exhorta-
ton in q sitting posture, while the congre-
CATION heard him standing. Chrysostem
preached in this manner.
It is related even of Constantine the
Great that he did not resume his seat dur
| ing a long sermon by Eusebius, and that
ali the assembly followed his example.
The old English name, parsOn, Is sup
posed to be a corruption of person, the per-
son-by eminence. Fuller remarks that
| the Scripture give four names to Chrls-
tians, taken from the four cardinal graceS
Saints, for their holiness :; believers, for
| their faith brethren, for their love; dis
ciples, for their knowledge.
The clergy were originally styled clerks,
from the Norman custom Of their judges
being chosen from the sacred order. In
the first century they were distinguished
by the titles of presbyters and bishops
Church music is supposed to have been
| first introduced by Gregory the Great, A.
D. 6O2. Church steeples were originally
parochial fOrtresses.
Syney Smith thus defines the object OF
preaching at is constantly to remind
| mankind of what mankind is constantly
forgetting; not to supply the defects OF
human intelligence, but to fortify the zee,
bleness Of human resolutions to recall
mankind from the bypaths where they
turn, into the path Of salvation, which all
know, but few tread"

dickens and His Characters.

Mr.. Jas T. Fields has recently Issued
book entitled Yesterdays with Authors"
published by Jas. r. OsgOod & Co. 1t con-
tains many interesting conversations Mr..
Fields had with prominent authors, ana
among them we find the following with
Dickens. They were walking together
and Dickens said that during the cOmpO-
s;tion Of his first stories he could never
entirely dismiss the characters about whom
he happened to be writing; that whlle
the Old Curiosity Shop" was IN process
Of composition Little Nell followed him
about Everywhere that while he was
writing OLIVER Twist y Pagan the Jew
would never let him rest, even in his
most retired moments; that at midnight
and in the morning, on the sea ana on
the land, Tiny Tim and Little Bob Cratch-
it were ever Juggling at his cOat-sleeVe' as
il impatient for him to get back to his
desk and continue the story of their lives:
But he said after he had published several
books, and saw what serious demands ms
characters were accustomed to make for
the attention Of his already Over-taskeu
brain, he resolved that the phantom OF in
diyiduals should no longer intrude on his
hours Of recreation and rest, but that when
he closed the door of his study he would
shut them all in and only meet them again
when he came back to resume his task.
That force of will with which he was so
pre-eminently endowed enabled him to
ignore these manifold existences till he
chose to renew their acquaintance. he
said also, that when the children Of his
brain had once been launched, free and
clear of him, into the world, they would
sometimes turn up in the most unexpect
manner to look their father in the face.

must consult somebody, and it is moth
ing more than fair to give our young doc
tor chance. Here goes for DR.. Benjamin
Franklin.
There were opthalmoscOpes and rhinO-
SCOPES and telescopes and laryngoscOpes
and stethOscopes; and thermometers and
spirometers and thermometers and sphyg-
mometers and pleximeters; and PROBES
and prabangs and all sorts or frlghtful, IN
uuisitive, exploring cOntrivancesi and
scales to weigh YOU in, and tests and bal
ances and pumps and electromagnetic and
magneto-efetric machines; in short, ap-
paratus for doing everything but turn you
inside out.
DIR. BENJAMIN set me down before his
one window and began looking at me with
such superhuman air Of sagacity, that L
felt like one of those open-breasted CLOCKS
which make no secret Of their inside ar
rangements, and almost thought he could
see through me as one sees through
shrimp or a Jelly fish. First, he looked at
the place inculpated which had sort OF
zreenish brown color, with his naked eye,
with corrugatiOn Of forehead and fearful
concentration Of attention; then through
| a pocket glass which he carried. Then he
drew back space, for perspective view.
Then he made ME put out my tongue and
| laid a strip Of blue paper on it which turn
| ed red and scared me Il little. Next he
| took my wrist, but instead Of counting my
| pulse i'm the old-fashioned way, he fasten-
ed machine to it that marked all the
beats on sheet Of paper, for all the world
like scale of the heights Of mountains,
say from Mount Tom up to the ChimbO-
razo, and then down again, and up again.
and so on. In the meantime he asked
me all sorts Of questions about myself and
all my relatives, whether We had been
subject to this and that malady, until
felt il we must some of US have had more
or less Of them, and could not feel quite
sure whether elephants and beriberi and
progressive locomOtOr ataxy did not run
in the family.
