Charles I Quint4Fd, Episcopal Bishop
Of Tennessee, is a rare man. II ie apart
frpm the Common herd of humanItv, and
MS type IS not met with often ia the daily
haunts of life, as we set forth
In an age of anpering infidelitv. replete
with all the cynicism Of mnderu materi-
aliam, he laid aside the comfortable raw
enues Of an honOred and lucrative pro-
fessi0U, tn shoulder the Cross To many
men this NAV not be berOism. but to the
calm and phiIosophic thinker, who knows
the workings of the human problem
around him, it is hernism Of the highest
type We say it with shame for our race,
that it has become the fashion of small
inteIlects to cast doubt and ridicule upon
the sacred mysteries of the Gospel 1t is
in their atrnphied brains, AZ indication Of
an inves tigating seepticai and learned ap
prehension The m ndern crusader has
to encounter all this IN his fight for the
Cross, and although he does not have to
face the valiant and Eery Sacracen, and
Is not burned at the stake vet his task is
hard one, and his foes ara thousand
to one There is one consolation, how
ever, he should carry like jar of pre-
cous oil wherever his destiny may be
cast, and that Is, he is the genuine bene
factor of his race, the cOnSeTVatOr of
society and the foundation stone of o der
and government
Charles T. Quintard never hesitated,
but followed the footsteps of Him, who
on the distant hills of Judea, opened the
gates IF mercy fer mankind. He never
stopped to reason about the matter of

| commercial value His work was cut out
| BY the Master and ne goes forth almost
| literally with script and sandal and with
| a cheerful, hopeful cOuntenance, and does
| it bravely. Is not such q man, in this
sneering age, a hero2
But this is not all What Southern

| heart Of a brave man, that does not look
! upon this good man with love aud Vener>

| pointed the wav to the pearly gates of
! bliss, and his prayers have risen up in the
smoke of battle and have been uttered
amid the awful thunders of artillery and
| the rattle of mus kerry and the grOans of
! the wounded like white-winged messen

| He has whispered words of hope and
| comfort in the ears of men dying for their
! country. He has heard the last uttered

the toys and pIaythings of an hour.

periIous and trying times, and he has not

/ still bears she Cross of the Master with a
meek AMI Christian grace that shines ont
in a world much troubled by spiritualism,
| infdelity, marerialsm and coarse and
vulgar sin, like a raiment of light
