| St. Augustine, If T remember rightly, speaka
! Of those who are In the spirit, though not the
body, OF the church. Such was DR.. Newman
before his formal reception. He was born with
| Catholic thoughts and Catholic aspirations.
His earliest recollection, for instance is OF hay
| ing drawn cross in notebook; and among
the religious ideas WAS the very unprotestaut
! one that he was destined to serve God In life
Of celibacy; indeed, general severity OF tone
| Is perhaps as marked feature as any in the
character Of John Henry Newman. "Fo}low
| your conscience wherever iEmav lead you," he
has said; but he is careful to add that he means
| q conscience purified by prayer and fasting. he
would speak of the conscences OF most men
very much as Lord Westbury smoke OF what the
| noble Lord was pleased to call hs minu.''
Conscientious to u degree that might have
been thought excessive by Sir Thomas Moore,
DR., Newman is also logical to q fault. In fact,
he has evidently contrved to make life as un-
comfortable to himself Us he possibly could; In
this respect somewhat resembling lis learned
and excellent brother. John and Francis are
both painfully good and logical, ,-ot hlameless
life and inability to swallow the Athanasian
Creed in a comfortable and ptosaic way, as good
Britous should. IL can't believe thfs,n said

/ Henry "nnd mean to believe in BOTH" Even
In their separation, however, the brothers have
coutrived to maintain curious family likeness
An Eoglish Phi]istine would say they had both
| gone mad on religious subjects In different
wavs. The one is Papst, the other Dest,
who seriously believes IN creed he has con
| sttucted for himself; reads Bible he has COM
| posed himself "a most remarkable work, by the
| way), and holds it sinful to eat solid food-ex-
| ccpt, perhaps, fish, because fish have no affee-

too much to say that from 1888 1645 Newman
was about the most unpopular parsonage IN En-
