The Rev. Edward Judson of thlscity. has prepared
biography of mis- father, the celebrated missionary
TO Burmah, Adonram Judson "a. ID. +. Randolph d.
Col which is just ana fitting memorial of noble
life. The theology which Adoniram Judson held
may seem harsh and repsllent to the easy-going
optimism OF the day, but 1t was sweetened aud
beautiied by loving enthusiasm in the service OF
his Master which made him in the truest sense
lover of men. The record of such life filled as it
vas with apostolic zeal and labor. is worthy of
preservation. And would advise the younger
clergy especially to read this book, when they think
that their lives are not cast in pleasant places. 1t
may serve to remind them that an easy diettante
life is hardly the ideal for those who nave devoted
themselves to preaching the gospel of the Great
Calilean.

MORE WORDS ABOUT THE BIBLE. BY nv JAMES adso =;
BUSH $40, PIP. SO. NewYorx Jonn '" Ao'eii
Company.
This book consists of FIVE sermons, preached ny
Mr.. Bush, who is an Episcopal clergyman OF the
Diocese of New-York, and their object Is much the
same as that of the sermons the right and wrong
usos of the Bible recently preached by the Rev. H.
Heber Newton. Mr.. Bush intimates IN his preface
that it is the duty of all among the Episcopal
clergy who hold views the Bible similar to those
of Mr.. Newton to openly avow them, and so
strengthen what they believe to be the cause OF
truth. Of this there can be no question, and Mr.
Bush is to be commended for setting such good
example to his brethren, which it is to be hoped
they win not be slow to follow.
The conclusions reached by Mr. Bush concerning
the Bible are in harmony with the principles OF the
so-called new theology. While declaring his belief
in the Bible as a Divine revelation, he atrms also
his right to interpret the Scriptures in the light that
human know ledge, and the promised illumination
by the spirit of Truth shall at all times throw upon
them. He undoubtedly speaks for a large and
growing class of earnest thinking people in all the
Christian denominations who are unable to accept
the traditional views of the Bible. These sermons
are marked by earnestness, frankness and more
than ordinary ability, and will prove interesting to
all who wish to study the relation Of the Bible to
modern thought.

THE DOOM OF THE MAJORITY OF HAHkiN Nl
By SAMUEL J. BARRows. syo pp' loA. oos'on
American Unitarian Association
The aim of this book which first appeared as a
sories of papers IN The Christian Register. is to show
that the logical teaching of evangelical Christian
lty Is that the vast majority of mankind are doomed
to endless woe If this statement had been made
concerning one or two particular sects instead OF
evangelical Christianity as whole, few fnteihgent
peorle would dispute its trathfuiness But IL Is per-
hans hardly accurate to assume that the Church as
body ever committediself to such doctrine though
in particular localities and at certain epochs.
what was orthodoxy for the time being did sane
ton it, Even recently the certain doom OF all uncon-
yerted heathens has been made an incentive 10
greater missionary zeal, as Mr.. Barrows shows
Practically, therefore, he has proved his case; or
thodoxy does teach an endless hell for the majority
of mankind Even in its authoritative utter
ances to-day il is unwilling in so many words W
mitigate the severity of this creed. But N1r.
Barrows maintains. on the other manu. 'pa'
in spite of itself all orthodox beliefs TINS one
among the number. undergoing reconstruc-
ton "The old creeds" he says. "cannot pe OK
posed to the atmosphere of to-day without disin-
tegration.o This fact, if fact 1t be, removes
from such a question as is discussed In this pooh
much of the interest that would otherwise be 1eit
In IT. In final chapter Mr.. Barrows presents wnas
he considers to be the practical ethical and rational
solution of the difficulties of this doctrine IN
.volving more enlightened view OF the bioie anu
O truer view of human nature.

A Happy Trio,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-President
Arthur late yesterday afternoon is
sued pardon to Sergeant Mason,
now confined in the Albany IN. W
penitentiary under sentence ofeight
years. Imprisonment for attempting
to shoot Guiteau. Sergeant Mason
received information of his pardon
yesterday evening. He said he was
going back to Betty and the baby,
and proposed to work very hard for
their support. Mason was sergeant
of Battery B, second Artillery. On
September IL, 1881, when receiving
the guard at the District of Column.
bia jail, he raised his musket and fir
ed into window opening near the
cell in which Guiteau, the assassin of
President Garfield was confined.
From the unmethodical manner in
which the shot was fired and because
of the fact that Mason had been suf-
fering from malarial fever, it was
thought at the time that the deed
was that of a man not entirely re-
sponsible for his acts. Mason was at
once arrested and confined in the ar
senaI at Washington. On February
20, 1882, he was formally arraigned
before a court-martial at Washing
ton, and the case was continued from
day to day until March 2, when the
court took final adjournment. Ma
son was represented by j. Il. Bige-
low, and the defence showed that at
the time the sergeant fired his mus
ket Guiteau was lying on his bed
perfectly safe from the bullet, being
protected by brick wall which faced
the window through which Mason
fred. The court found Mason guilty,
and he was sentenced to be dishonor-
ablv discharged from the Army and
to serve f r eight years at hard labor
in the Albany penitentiary. This
sentence aroused considerable SYM
nathv for Mason. The public also
became interested in MasOn's wife
and child, who had been left DennI-
loss by his imprisonment, and some
money was raised Tor them. Mason's
record as soldier was good one.

StoneWaIl's Bridge-Builder

A useful man to Stonewall Jackson
was old Miles, the Virginia bridge
builder. The bridges were swept
away so often by foods or burned by
the enemy that Miles was as neces.
sary to the Confederate army as Jack
son himself. One day the Union
troops had retreated and burned a
bridge across the Shenandoah. jack
son determined to follow them, sum-
moned Miles. "YOu must put all
your men on that BRIDGE" said he {:
"they must work all night, and the
bridge must be completed by day
light. My engineer shall furnish you
the plan, land you can 60 right ahead. /"
Early next morning Jackson, in a
very doubtful frame of mind. met
the old bridge-builder. swell, )" said

American Steamship Co., at Phila
delphia, have been endeavoring to
devise means by which the four orig
inal vessels of the line which sail I'M
der the American flag can be opera
without loss to the company. The
cabins were torn out some time ago,
and the additional room thus obtain
ed was used for freight, but still the
annual loss on the four vessels has
aggregated about $4,000. This is
chargeable to two principal reasons
One of these is that the steamers were
built eleven or twelve years ago, and
are of much smaller dimensions and
less tonnage than those of the present
day, and are, therefore, unable to
compete with those of modern build.
The other and greater cause is oW-
ing to the fact that American sea.
mems wages are from 40 to so per
cent. greater than those of the Brit
ish tars, which makes it impossible
for American vessels to compete with
those of England under the present
laws of our country. At a conference
between committees from the direc-
tors of the Pennsylvania Railroad and
the American Steamship Company
held Friday to discuss the matter, it
was referred to Messrs. Edmund
Smith and Henry d. Welsh to en-
deayor to devise plan, either by the
sale of the Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indi-
ana and Illinois, or otherwise, by
which the company can be relieved
from the losses which haye been sus-
tained in the business. In an inter-
view with Mr.. Welsh he stated that
nothing has yet been decided on, but
it is probable that the vessels will be
sold. He could not say what would
then be done further than that the
present vessels of the line carrying
the British flag. and which are run
at profit. will beretained, and prob.
ably Others of the same class will be
added to replace those disposed Of
There is no intention of abandoning
the business of the line, the effort be.
ing to make it profitable one by the
replacing the small vessels carrying
the American flag and employing
American seamen with those of lar.
ger capacity, manned by foreigners
and sailing under English colors, tc
which course they are forced by the
laws of the country for protection tC
their business and capital invested.
