By the natural bent of his mind, the
late President had liking for philo-
sophie and religious studies, which was
strengthened and gratifed during his
two terms at Williams College. where 8

physics, and his subsequent four years
of teaching at Hiram ; but in his later
career the practical questions OF life alb.
sorbed him 80 much that he found little
time to devote to the domain OF specula
ton and theoretical thought. He read
Mill, Comte and Spencer, however, and
was deeply interested IL such books as
James Freeman Clarke's "Ten Great Re
ligions," and in the current discussions
in the English reviews and magazines
on new phases Of religious belief and
criticism. There was nothing of the
bigot about him. He welcomed all hon
est discussion, and was always willing tc
throw off old opinions if convinced they
were erroneous In his religious views
he might have been called rationalis.

passed successful catechising on the
doctrinal points of any orthodox creed.
but on such essential matters as be-

and the immortality Of the human soul,

SAYS "Gath:" "The New York dailies
are set up in the midst of such tremen-
dous influences that they are circun-
spcct and cautious. Their power is 80
great, and the enterprises pressing for
recognition and aid are 80 rich and
numerous, that there is suspicious crit
icism of every piece Of news offered.
Then, too, many Of the papers are under
partisan or special control, and must
cut their work out to suit dictation
that is unjournalistic, and usually un-
wise. The Western papers want the

EDITOR South KENTUcKIAN:
l find the following falschood,
above the signature of Raymond.
"Rev. Mr.. Smith of Ccrulean
Springs preached at Pisgah few
Sundays ago. This was the first
harlshcll sermon the writer ever had
the pleasure of listening to and the
the most peculiar one. In the first
part of his discourse he stated that
only Gods elect would be saved, but
ended his remarks by stating that
all mankind would be saved. This
sermon was one continued series Of
blunders and contradictions"
REPLY.
Now Notwithstanding the glar-
in stupidity of the article itself, it
will be apparent to every one that
however lgnerant the author maybe,
he has at least Intelligence enough to
know that he was perpetrating a
falsehood when he published it. The
article alluded TO is the product of q
wicked heart, or the effect of weak
brain. guess the author of it is &
kind of a puff Of a gassite with a lit.
tie more brass than brains. 1t is
true that 1 tried to preach at Pisgal
several times in the year but it is moi
true that l ended my remarks by
stating that all mankind would bC
saved.
He says hardshell sermon. l sup

they must have been softshells
