Bismarck's Autograph Mfchf

The Grand Rapids Mich Eagle prints an
extract from d letter written in Berlin by A
daugEter OF a resident of Grand Rapids, 20
Hon. Elliott L. Slocum, OF the same city.
She says:
"Among my Christmas presents was a

Going Home.


From The RedGing Pa Edgie.I
The damp air came chilly up from the
river late yesterday afternoon. Around the
bend at the Wyomissfng, near the cave at
the mill on the opposite side OF the Schuyl-
Kill, an aged colored man was sitting on a
stone, ealing an evening" meal that n adj
10 doubt been begged from a neighbnring
farm house. The stranger was a type Of IN.
real, genuine southern slave. His hair was
gray, his form rather bent, his little ewes
encamped in cluster OF wrinkles; his nose
broad, and an expression of honesty. kind

but that burst resplendent through a cloud
OF sorrow that seemed to mantle him from

his feet.
"My name is Henry, sab; Uncle Henry dey

SOCIAL LIFE IN BERLIS.-The Berlin
opera house is not so large as that in
Munich, but IL is an exceedingly cheerful
and agreeable one. The Emperor's box
which is opposite the stage. occupies a con-
siderable part Of the house, and the house Is
usually well filed with an audience exceed
ihgly respectable, If not brilliant. The no-
tieeablc thing in the audience was the prom
1nenCe of military uniforms. You would
thin the town was In a state OF siege. Going
In undress seems not TO be allowed, and
swords clatter and brass and tinsel dazzle
you In ali assemblies For the rest, there is
not much dress. The Germans do not dress
for the opera. They go there out of love for
the music, at an early hour and I'm costume
which IL most comfortable. A few ladies' in
the dress circle appear in full toilet, but no
one need be surprised TO see every lady pull
her knitting out of her pocket. There Is a
homely simplicity about the audience which
Is thoroughly German. 1t Is apparently no
more sin 70 go 10 the opera In Berlin than II
is To so TO Thursday evening meeting in
Aperica. The Germans are a frugal people
You see no signs of dissipation or of the rapid
life OF city. The German society NAV be
as disSolute as any in the world, Berlin NAV
be as immoral as Paris. but it finds IL very
difficult TO appear so.-[ChdLe Dutley Wayner

the sound of the fire bell in the night. The Lord
has in his mercy brought us out of serious differ
ences on this delicate subject, into, as supposed,
entire unanimity. If this article is significant of
anything at all, it means division and weakness
among ourselves. The great body, at least large
portion of our ministers and people will never
agree to be represented by this article. The writer
in his second point puts into the mouth of the ad.
vocates of Alliance charge against those who hold
his views which nobody but the northern Radicals
ever uttered; and on the basis of that charge IL
snuates that our proper place is not only in the
Pan Presbyterian Church, but 10 the bosom Of the
Radical Church" My deliberate judgment is that
it would not be safe to force upon multitudes of
our people, and among them those as faithful to
our testimony as the writer, the choice between
place in the bosom of the Radical Church, DOM
mated by an infdel abolitionism," and place in
conservative Church, whose conservatism is domi-
mated by the spirit Of this reckless article. When
it comes to choice of evils. men are not apt to
stand on names aud points 1t is this dread of any
renewal of division among US on this delicate point
that leads me to address you and to enter my pro-
test as member OF the association.
| need not add that while protest against what
believe to have been an error of judgment in the
conduct of the Reuie,o cherish still the same af
fectonate regard fur you both and for all the mem
bers of the association. which, as you know. have
ever entertained. Yours truly,

A Good Man Gone.

Philadelphia has los one of its valued ctize9SiR,
the death of Mr. JOSEPH g DRlles. on
inst, and in his 821 year. Mr.. Dulles was q native
of Charleston, s. q. He graduated froSu college 10
1914. and then entered into business in Phisdel-
phia. where be has been actively engaged 10 mer
camille and religious enterprises for the past sixty
years He was one of the warm friends of the late
DR.. Thomas H. Skinner. and CT operated with him
in the building of the Fifth (Arch Street, Presby
terian church. He was afterwards connected with
the First church, and the superintendent of its
Sabbath School, and at later date one of the COL
ony who organized Calvary church, Of which he
was member at the time OF his death
His character was marked one. He was mod
est and courteous, but III finchpg in an absolute
truthfulness that knew no fear. He we'll illustrated
what an educated business man may and shall do
for city. He was one of the founders of the Mer-
camille Library, to which he gave much time in its
earlier years, personally attending to the selection
and purchase of books for its shelves. He was
prominent in the organization of the American
Sunday School Union, and for more than fifty
years one of its most active managers. lie held
the post of Secretary of the Pennsylvania Bible
Society for thirty eight years, giving to it his
warmest love with bis services; and aided other
literary and phanthropc institutions by his coun.
sells and skful pen.
Mr. Dulles was ip the fullest ACTIVITY until the
short illness Of five days which closed his life. He
died as be had lived. in the complete assurance Of
faith resting 10 Christ with calm, uuclouded trust
His last recognizable words were. Strange, that
should see the Father so soon. No more sorrow.

PRESBYTERIAN ALLIANCE.

The article from DR.. Robinson was re-
ceiyed when the matter of this issue was 80
far made up as to admit of its publication
only on the inside form, and to the exclusion
of part of the news generally furnished
But as it will probably appear this week In
most of the other papers of our Church, it
was thought best to insert it at once 1t
will, of course, be read with much interest,
That those who desire to see both sides, and
thus Judge fairly for themselves, may be en-
abled to do SO, it is our purpose to publish
next week very ample exhibit of the article
in the Southern Presbyterian Reuie'0, on
which DR.: Robinson comments. 1t would
be more satisfactory, indeed, to print it en-
tire, but its length Us pages of the ReU's")
practically forbids this.
AS this subject will come up prominently
before our next Assembly, and as it has now
been opened afresh from sources that must
attract much attention, considerable dis
cussiou concerning this Presbyterian ALI
ance, both as to the question of principle
and expediency, seems to be inevitable
and perhaps, under all the circumstances, il
is desirable. AS intimated week or two
ago, we agree with the tiOn of our last
General Assembly in a1 sing the idea Of
the General Presbyteri Council which
met in London last July, and of which Dr.
Robinson was member. Our belief is that
what has been done is sound 10 its principle,
and that our Assembly acted wisely and
well. The scheme may admit of improve
ment; possibly it may fall far short Of what
it is expected by some to accomplish. Our
persuasion and earnest hope is that it will do
good-perhaps great deal Of good. The
attempt itself can hardly fail of that result
1t will be observed that DR.. Robinson
does not enter into detailed reply to the
article in the RevieO 1t is cur purpose to
do so, rather under the shape of brief notes
than of copious discussion. And we beg
leave to remark now that there is nothing in
this question to provoke acrimonious debate
and there is every consideration connected
with it to forbid any temper of that charac-
| ter

"any other churches of the same section of
the country, which hold to the same symbols
of faith and order with ourselves" But We
are willing to leave that point with the re-
marks formerly offered.
1t never was in our heart to press dis
com6tted foe too far, or inAict upon him any
unusual or excessive punishment; that would
be barbarOus, not Christian. But it must be
apparent to the best friends of these Oreth-
rem that they answer to the condition OF
those who began to build and were not
able to finish" and that they have run
themselves into predicament in which they
are now past every thing except compass
sion. Poor MephibOsheth 1t was sad
thing he should get such fall as to cripple
him for life. But there is comfort in all
things; mercies mingled with misfOrtunes.-
