have felt his power who have never
even heard his name.
In manner he is simple and easy, in
speech rich and powerful. He speaks
with wonderful rapidity. He is said to be
the most rapid speaker in the country.
He speaks too fast to be easily followed.
Some hearers can not keep up at all.
He had in early life serious stoppage
in his speech. 1t is on this account, it
is said, that he now speaks with such a
torrent like rush.
There is such an onward sweep of his
thought and speech that one listens
with an exhilarated feeling almost akin
to that which is experienced in facing
a stiff breeze. There is thrilling kind
OF pleasure in observing such meteor
like splendor. 1 am glad that such
men are to be found in the pulpit. l
am glad that the great merchants. law
yers, doctors, and learned scholars of
Boston can have the privilege of hear
ing such preacher as Phillips Brooks.
So long as such men are to be found in
the American pulpit we need not be
afraid that it has degenerated. We 9
often told by would be thinkers that
the pulpit of to-day is feeble and in
sipid. I do not believe it. 1 believe
that there is more talent and ability in
the pulpit of this country than can be
found in any other calling.

SUNDAY IN AMERICA.

Sunday has had more value in this
country as day of rest. 1t has been a
power in forming American character.
1t has called pause to men in what
ever pursuit. 1t has kept before men
always the knowledge of great author
ity regulating their affairs. Those who
were brought up under the strict law of
what is called the Puritan Sunday,
sometimes look back from early man
hood with intense dislike to its iron re
straints imposed on the jubilant spirits
OF their youth. But as they grow older
and more thoughtful they recognize at
least the priceless discipline of the day,
its effect on the formation of mind, its
lessons which hurt so much in entering
that they are never to be forgotten.
No wandering life prevails TO lead them
away from the effects of those days !;
nor are there among the sons of men in
this world of labor and pain any who
look back with such intense yearning
for the home rest as those men who,
out from the anxieties and agonies and
sins of mature life, however gilded its
surroundings, send longings of heart to
the old fireside, where the Bible was
the only Sunday book and the "Pil-
grim's Progress" was almost the only
weekday fiction. Seorn it, as may
those who never knew what it was, the
Puritan Sunday made men, thinking
men, strong men, who in the world
looked always to something beyond the
approval Of their fellows, felt always
that there was somewhere some one
who knew what they We're in their
hearts. 1t made large part of what is
worthy in our institutions and our men
in New England and New York, in
Virginia and the Carolinas, and through
out the growing Union.-Neto Princeton

grief, a disloyalty to the dead. Reluc-
family we yield to the healing of time
and the mitigations of change, half
querulous that we must admit their al
leviations. We had thought honestly
that the veil was never to be lifted,
that the morning and the evening would
never more rejoice; but we are not
other than our kind, and to us, too, the
waste places in their season blossom as
the rose.
Protest as we may, time, change, in
) ly tide us over and beyond this
gloom which, if it lasted, would unfit
us for life's duties, and detract from
the working force of the world. There
comes to every grief stricken household
an hour in which it shakes off the tor
por which benumbed it when its darl-
ing was borne across its threshold to
her bed under the violets; wedding
bells ring cheeriIy in the home which
echoed with the sound of the knell
and life, shorn of what was once its
JOY and pride, gathers itself up again
and goes on. Not on the battle-felds
of earth do the flowers and the grains
spring anew in beauty and golden
abundance without forcing the anal
ogy, we see every day, how the old bat
tie ground of human sorrow grows fail
and sweet in the beauty of the Lord Is

PROF. DAVID SWING ON FUTURE PRO.
BATON,

In an age of general delusion the best
of men may cherish the most absurd
opinions. In an age of superstition Sir
Thomas More and Sir Matthew Hale
were partial fanatics. But this is not
such a period, and the notion that the
myriads Of heather are in hopeless
and painful eternity cannot but speedily
die. The American Board can do moth
ing for the restoration of that doctrine;
its Illness is unto death. In this the
time Of the final dissolution of that
thought, the Christian mind is COM
PEELED to distribute itself along new
shapes offutdre destiny for the ignorant
or the wicked. Ii Mr.. Hume feels that
Christ will offer himself beyond the
grave to the millions who died before
the advent or before the gospel came to
their fathers, or themselves, he has a
quiet right to his path out of the dilem-
ma. Farrar's path also is good. The
popularity of the case lies in this, that
the old doctrine of hell for all heather
is gone, and we must all turn to the
Bible and to reason, for something
more true. AS when the tenet of the
divine right of kings fell in ruins, the
new statesmen were given the task of
finding new basis Of authority, and are
all now toiling over limited monarchies,
chartered governments and republics.
So now while we are near the absolute
downfall of this old teaching as to pun-
ishments, our most eminent Christian
leaders must have permission to build
new structures out of the old ruins.
Punishment according to personal sin
against personal light, a gospel beyond
the grave, Christ preaching to "souls in
prison." temporary punishment, an
endless punishment but not a dreadful
one, the absolute end of the wicked at
the ending Of this life, the grading of
heaven into many states-these are
some Of the more reasonable doctrines
rising up to complete the philosophy
made defective by the death of an old
dogma. AS there is cluster of small
planets in our system made from some
gigantic one which was rent into frag-
ments by some storm of nature, so has
the conception of hell, which was a
dark, solid orb, in the olden time, been
broken into pieces, and each man or
church may have part, but no power
upon earth can put together these pieces
and make the old black ball again.

REV. PHILLIPS BROOKS.

The editor of the Cumberland PreSby-
terrain, recently heard Rev. Phillips
Brooks preach in Milwaukee, and thus
records his impressions of the great
Boston divine:
Phillips Brooks is a large man in
body, brain, and heart. He is six feet
four inches high, and big in proportion.
1 have long considered him as perhaps
the very first preacher in our country
in richness and fullness of spiritual
power. Some may surpass him in vigor
of intellect and fervor Of Imagination,
but know of no man who holds with
a firmer grasp the eternal verities of
the gospel. In all his published SER
mons, of which there are many, he
strikes right at the heart of spiritual
life, and fathoms the depths of human
motives. He always presents lofty
ideal of Christian life and manhood.
He has exerted a powerful influence
upon the pulpit of this country. Many

is THIS LIFE THE END?
BY REV. J. K. STREET,
(Texas.)

1t is not the purpose of this article to
enter into lengthy discussion of the
question, eff a man die shall he live
again" If there was no gospel of
glad tidings, (Which teaches that death
is swallowed up in victory" and that
there comes ''day of the restitution
of all things when ''every knee shall
bow and every tongue confess to the
honor and glory of God;" if every one
believed that this life alone was the
goal of human happiness-that death
ended all desire, all aspirations, then
surely all thoughts of the morrow would
be Swallowed with gloom.
If we believed that the grave was the
end of human research and human
hope, the spring time, the season of
hope, would cease to charm, because it
would be robbed of the roseate hue of
continuous joy; at the sound of music
we should be discomfort, because,
while it might charm and dilate the
soul with its capacity for the infinite,
yet it would mock it with that which
was not to be; the memory of earthly
affections could but mar the beauty of
even we'll spent life, because love is
but bud which can put forth in this
life, but ripening fruit can never be, if
death is to sever all loving hearts for
ever; unrest would come when we gazed
into the starry heavens, for we should
realize that we were parted forever,
from these, by an impossible gulf; we
should be unhappy in the contempla-
ton of virtue and truth, because Of the
realization of our own weakness and
inability to approximate them in this
life.
If we believed that this life was the
end of human existence and human eff
fort, then every inspiration of the
heart would be shrouded in gloom;
every noble impulse would be checked
by doubt; every incentive to heroic
action would be lacking in power to
execute; every effort to comfort the
mourning heart, would fail to bring
assurance that the broken ties of af-
lection are to be reunited never to be
severed; every tie which binds friend
to friend would be cruelty severed by
death, and those we love, lost in dark
ness forever; every avenue of human
happiness would be blocked with the
specters of haunting fears, lest each
sip from the cup of joy is to be
the last sweet chalice that shall re-
fresh the weary soul. But, thanks to
merciful Father, there is no craving of
the heart for peace and rest to which t. Q
life that is, aud that which is to come,
shall not bring an answer. Streets

THE NEW ATLANTIS.

Patiencel Gods House of Light shall yet be
built,
in years unthoueht of. to some unknown
song
And from the fanes of Science shall her guilt
Pass like a cloud. How long, o Lord, how
long!-
When Faith shall grow man, and Thought
child,
And that in us which thinks with that which
feels
Shall everlastingly be reconciled,
And that which questioneth with that when
kneels.
And that true Book-the lovely dream is DER
Which saw it SHELTERED well beneath the palm,
Sent by saint from some mysterious shore,
It's tiny frigate floating DER calm.
No vessel bore it to a sacred isle,
No magic kept it from the salt sea spray,
1t had no perfect charm of Grecian style,
No shalt of glory heralded it's way.
Yet, reradventure, shall diviner seem
The chronicle of severer truth
Than all the fabulous coloring of the dream
That tinted it SO richly in our youth.
And yet, for all the puzzle of the lines,
All the discordant copies stained with age,
A more miraculous lore it intertwines.
A grander Christ looks radiant from its page.
For all the stammering of those simple men,
four-fold unity of truth they reach
Drops as of light fall from their trembling pens
And Christ speaks through them with ten
derer speech.
And through all time our Fathers faith shall
speed,
And the old Inference be sent abroad,
And eastward chsnted rise the changeless
creed
blight from Light. very God from God!
But for the New Atlantis-for the church
Where faith and knowledge heart-united
dwell
think it lies far Off beyond our search,
EMBODIED by the Hills Delectable.

mercy; and in the revelations and
promises of Jesus-his life and his gos-
pel,-that in the spirit of true Chris
tians we may ever be conscious that
"God is with us )" his love and care
they encircle US. Accordingly, in these
requisites to Christian life are to be
found those virtues which will enable
one to rightly meet and undergo every
vicissitude with which one may come
in contact. Faith, courage, patience
and contentment will become one'sprice-
less inheritage; greatly more to be de-
sired than the palaces Of kings or the
wealth of Cresus.
Wherefore, as we journey along
through life, striving for success in its
various fields, and seeking for happi-
ness and peace,-let us not faint or
become, in the least, discouraged, should
adversely in any form overtake US; but
rather let it be remembered, that if
properly viewed, it can be made OF great
benefit to us, laying open before us
faults and weaknesses, and giving us
that wisdom which empowers US to
understand many things that would
have otherwise remained unknown,
Thus wrote Somerville
Adversely, sage, useful guest,
Severe instructor, but the best;
1t is from thee alone we know
Justly to value things below"
Then, let not the requisites to over
come these failings be forgotten; but
let fortitude and patience be ever exer.
cised adding to them to give them the
necessary strength and an insured sue
cess-the cardinal virtues of the Cos
pel-faith, hope and love. With these
invaluable adjuncts, one surely cannot
droop, but rather grow daily stronger
as one comes in contact with each ad
versity it may seem ones lot to meet
And so, as misfortunes mold and per
feet our lives, and the love of God ant
the sun of righteousness shine dowr
upon US, we are made to sec in truth
that Crosses" as says the old proverb
'are the ladders that lead to heaven, ,
and therefore, that tomorrow We shall
certainly reap if we faint not"

SOME CHURCH CLOCKS.

We have, however, some master
pieces upon which we may, neverthe-
less, plume ourselves. Those who have
heard Great Peter of York, announce
that midnight has come, are not likely
to forget the deep and thrilling reson-
ance that fills the air and booms over
the silent city. This bell weighs twelve
tons and half, and cost $4,000. 1t
was second to none in this kingdom till
Big Ben was set up at Westminster to
stand sentinel-like over the mighty
Thames. Great Tom O'Lincoln is an
other bell of great reputation. 1t was
recast in 1885, and On its return from
the Whitechapel foundry it was well
coined home by procession of clergy,
gentry, and citizens, with banners fly
ing and bands playing, at the south
entrance to the city. tbs six feet high,
and nearly seven feet in diameter, and
weighs five tons and eight cwt. Its
tone is also of an extraordinary fullness,
richness, and sweetness, especially when
heard in the dead of the night. And in
the north transept of Wells cathedral
there is clock in which there is suffi-
Gent eccentric mechanism to enable a
small figure of man to step forward
periodically and proclaim the time.
1t must be allowed that church clocks
in country towns are very considerable
additions to the general convenience of
the inhabitants. Some of them set up
in the seventeenth century are fur
nished with curious devices, which have
gradually got out of order, as in the case
OF the Church Of st. Martin-le- G rand,
York, which had the figure of naval
officer on the top of it in the act of TAX
ing a solar observation, who used to
move and follow the course of the sun.
Most of them are attached to the bells
and chime the hours. Stamford, which
we may almost look upon as a legacy
from Queen Elizabeth's Lord Burleigh,
is rich in the matter OF church clocks,
and over all the Elizabethan houses
with their bay windows, and dormers,
and sunny gardens full of pear trees
and bees, and over the wide river and
low-lying meadows by the side of it,
passes wave of silvery sound every
quarter of an hour that is delightful to
hear
