Especial New York letter.
It was a remarkable gathering that sig
nalized the recent SEVENTEEN birthday
of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the
parlors of DR.. Clarence Lozier. 1t is not
so many years since the still beautiful
but now white haired woman was, with
Susan B. Anthony her colleague for
nearly half a century-the target for jibes
and sneers; the butt of all mall-brained
paragraphists when nothing else offered
upon which to sharpen their wits. But
times have changcd-th the world certainly
moves. Mrs. Stanton has not altered,
except to grow older and less active
than formerly, though still retaining all
her clearness of brain, all the force, ap-
parently, of her trained intellect. Miss
Anthony, also, remains strong, true to her
convictions, loyal, devoted, faithful as
ever-but the world views them with
different eyes. 1t forgets they were cver
'course' and masculine" had cloud"
voices, and carried "big cotton umbrel-
las" 1t showers upon them good for
tune, and praises in old age the beauty
and nobility of character it denied they
possessed twenty or thirty years ago.

tile and her life too serious to admit OF
the wasting of time, but she is a
thorough lady, very gentle and courteous
in manner, with o serene face on which
the sunset calmness has fallen, for she
was born in Dublin in 1922, and the re-

abiding trust in the dictates of her con-

Poverty and Poor Preaching.

The calamity which 1 stand in dread
of, and which is next to the with
drawal of the divine blessing, the
greatest a church can suffer, is that
the rising talent, genius and energy OF
our country may leave the ministry OF
the gospel for other professions. "a
scandalous maintenance" Matthew
Henry says, "makes a scandalous min
istry." And I will give you another
equally true. "The poverty of the
parsonage will develop itself in the
poverty of the pulpit" I have no
doubt about it. Genteel poverty, to
which some ministers are doomed, is
one of the great evils under the sum-.
To place a nan in circumstances
where he is expected to be generous
and hospitable, to open his hand as
wide as his heart to the poor, to give
his family good education, to bring
them up in what is called genteel life,
and to deny him the means of doing so
is enough, but for the hope Of heaven,
to embitter existence.
In the dread Of debt, in many
daily notifications, in harassing fears
what will become of his wife and
children when his head lies in the
grave, a man of cultivated mind and
delicate s%ensibiiities has trials to bear
more painful than privations of the
DOOR. 1t is a bitter cup, and my
heart bleeds for brethren who have
neve told their sorrows, %concealing
under their cloak the fox that gnaws
at their vitals.-Dr. Thomas Guthrie.

RELIGIOUS READING.
A Pertinent Question.

a poor child, straying into a Sun
day school one day, asked simply: "ls
this the way to heayen?" The super
intendent was for a moment startled.
Was the school, indeed, the way to
heaven? Was he trying to make it
so? Were his teachers intent on the
same object? The artless question
struck home. From desk to class the
question went round with a thrill.
What were they all doing? Whittier
were they all tending? The question
was like an angel suddenly come into
their midst to make Il record OF all
that t%ranspired in that school. On,
superintendent, teachers, make sure
of this one thing: with all your efforts
to impart knowledge, make the saliva
ton Of the soul of paramount interest;
whether your school be a model or
struggling up to perfection, be sure
that every scholar shall feel that it is
the road to heaven.
