that have ever written, or any information
that touches me in any Manner" to produce

A secret session, lasting about thrce-quar-
ters Of an hour, was held.
A secret session Of three hours duration
was held on the 2lst. Committee reports
were made which, the Brooklyn Eagle states
sustain the general principle OF Plymouth
Church In dropping members from the rolls
and, without going into the Tilt0n and Mrs
Moulton cases, declare that the rule in
these practices fn Plymouth Church is not
inconsistent with the Word OF God or
the principles Of Christian justice. The
late action of the church toward Mr.
Bowen is said to be sustained, with a
statement that It had been better to have
been more promptly taken. II is also stated
that the church is exonerated from failure to
give Mrs. Moulton a Mutual Council, and
the church's plan for council of nOn-local
churches is commended. A minority report
was made from the committee to which was
referred the second question in the letters
missive, that relating 10 the dropping of
members from the roll.
A letter was sent by Mr. F. d. Moulton TO
DIR. Bacon, as Moderator Of the Council, stat
ing That the writer was prepared to prove the
guilt OF Mr.. Beecher, by evidence both oral
and documentary, and SAYING that "ifallowed
an opportunity of producing such proof be-
fore the Council fail 10 make good this as
surance, then 1 am willing to be discredited
and denounced by mankind as a wretch de-
void Of truth and honor and unworthy Of hu-
mrn association .----..-....a-.
Henry g. Bowen also addressed a letter to
Dr. Bacon denouncing as false certain state
ments made by Mr.. Beecher to the Council
on the 10Th, and saying that he (Bowen) has
never been afraid to look Mr.. Beecher in the
face and intimate moral impurity to him; on
the contrary, Mr. Beecher had never dared to
meet him in an interview on the subject,

THE time Of gifts has come again.
And. on my northern window-panc,
Outlined against the days brief light,
A Christmas token hangs in sight.
The wayside avelers, ne they pass,
Mark the gray disk of cluuded glass.
And the dud blankness eeems, perchance,
Folly to their wise ignorance.
They cannot from their outlook see
The perfect grace It hath for me;
For there the flower, whose frnges through
The frosty breath Of autumn blew,
Turns from without its face Of bloom
To the warm tropic OF my room,
As fair as when beside It's brook
The hue Of bending skies II took.
So, from the troddcn ways OF earth,
Seem some sweet souls who veil their worth
And offer to the careless glance
The clouding gray of circumstance
They blossom best where hearth-hres burn
To loving eyes alone they turn
The flowers Of inward grace, that hide
Their beauty from the world outside.
But deeper meanings come to me,
My hali-immoItal flower, from thee
Man judges from partial view,
None ever yet his brother knew;
The Eternal Eye that sees the whole,
May better read the durkuned soul,
And find, 10 outward senee denied,
The flower upon its inmost eide!

English and American Railroad Aeci-
dents.

OUR reports for two years show that
about twenty-five per cent of our train
accidents were collisions; seventy-tive
per cent. were collisions in Great Britain.
Here sixty per cent. were derailments;
there less than ten per cent. The causes
are evident. There the railroads are
nearly perfect i'll condition OF track here,
on the average, exceedingly imperfect.
Here most OF the roads are very far from
crowded; there large proportion of the
lines are crowded with trains TO an extent
known here only on three or four of our
busiest roads.
There is indeed radical difference be-
tween European and American railroads
1t was indispensable that the latter should
be cheap. In fact, with labor and all ma
terials higher than in any European
higher than in almost any other civil
lied country, our railroads have not cost
half as much per mile as the European
roads. The economy has been in the con-
struction of the roads They have more
and shorter curves, often unballasted and
generally poorly ballasted roadbeds, anG
usually much lighter rails, bridges and
similar structures, frequently no fences,
and generally they cross highways and
city streets at grade. All these imperfec-
tions make il easier for trains TO leave
the track, except that perhaps the light
ness of the rails is compensated by more
| frequent ties. We might almost say that
European rolling-stock could not run at
all on some American roads that We count
pretty good.
American ingenuity has been largely
devoted to the contrivance OF rolling
stock which will run on imperfect tracks
and of apparatus to mitigate the effect OF
accidents Our cars are made flexible
by trucks, which adjust themselves read
| lily TO inequalities of track and sharp
curves, our unequaled brakes and the
