The sailor, Preacher.

John Cadman in The Century.
once heard Father Taylor preach a sermon on
the Atonement. II was all In a style that NOBODY
but sailor could understand, a style that every
sailor could comprehend, although a treatise on
this subject from an uptown pulpit would have
been "Greek" to him. This was one OF the pas
sages: "You are dead in trespasses and sins ana
ballast, and you can't get out for there Is ton OF
stanchions andtry TO get II open, but you can't.
You rig purchase. You get your handspiEes.

on deck, out they can't help YOU AT last you hail
Jesus Christ He CONES straight along. All He
wanted was TO be asked. He Just clasps his
shoulder TO that ton OF sin. 1t rolls OF, and then
he says, 'Shtpnates, come outv Well, II you don't
come out, IL Is all your own fiult"
Ii was on the sunday before a state election.
Briggs was the Candidate OF the WING party but
Father Taylor desired that he should be elected
because he was q religious man. This was his
prayer: 20 Lord, give US good men TO rule over
us, just men, temperance men, Christian men,
men who fear Thee, who obey Thy command
mentS; men who-bur, Lord. what's the use OF
veerlng and hauling and pointing all around The
compass? Give Us George y. Brig for governor! -
His prayer was answered on the next day.
Father Taylor was eloquent, humorous, and pa
thetic by turns. Sometimes all these char acter-
lstics seemed to be merged In one. These and
many Others OF his traits interested me, but 1
loved him because. rrst and last and all the time
lie was the sailors friend.

Hetempsychosis the widespread doctrine OF
soul migration from animal to human bodies, may
be founded on a yelled paraphrase OF the Darwin
ian hypothesis; but how are we to account for the
almost equally international prevalence of the

among tribes OF North American aboriglnes who
could not possibly have Introduced their folklore
from the country or jacob Grimm, from the
Carpathian highlands, where.lycanthropy still
furnishes the STAPLE Of nrestde Sagas. Werewolf
stories frighten the infant population OF the Cair

bush-camps OF eastern Australia, where the ma
tlves OF the Swan River Mountains pretend TO trace
the rootmarks OF suspected wizard In the track OF

Luck and Chance.

From the Boston Manufacturer Gazette.
A term used not long since in connection with
an accident strikes line Of reasoning worth FOL-
lowing up. The term used was "the laws OF chance
were against them" Webster says chance is "the
absence OF any defined or recognized cause" or
can event which happens without any assigned
cause" Clark hit the mark truly when he wrote:
at is strictly and philosophicaly true in nature
and reason that there Is no sucn thing as chance
OF accident, IL being evident that these words do
not signify anything really existing, anything that
Is truly an agent or the cause OF an event, but
they signify merely mems ignorance OF the real
aud immediate cause" 1t seems as II the "laws Of
chance" would be pretty good neld for study,
and that some pretty solid laws are In existence
somewhere on natures statute book. Another
term goes with "cnance." 1t is called "luck. "
Sometimes they go hand-in-h nd as u 'lucky
cnance." Luck Is disposed or ia Websters as shat
WHICH happens to person; an event, good or I'll,
affecting mans happiness or interests, and
which Is deemed casual; course or series OF such
events regarded as occurring by chance" Now,

Dr. Lyman ABBOTT IN the Century.
l do not ask that men or wealth shall give more
money 10 the church, which Is often stronger
wnen 1t is poor than when it Is rich; nor to the
pc r and thriftless, whom unearned money only
keeps in poverty. / urge that the power to make
money, like any other power, is a trust bestowed
on the possessor for humanity. The preacher who
preacnes Tor his salary, not for the spiritual we'll
being OF his pariSnioners, Is mercenary; the
physician VINO practices for his fees, not to cure
the sick, IS q mercenary; the lawyer who pleads
Tor his hohorarun not Tor justice, is mercenary;
the politician VINO enactS laws for what he can
make, not Tor the community, Is a mercenary; no
less Lhe manufacturer, the merchant, the trader,
the man on change, wno tranSacts his business
10 MAKE money, not to give the community ITS
meat In due season, Is mercenary. In the history
OF the nineteenth century, the doctrine that
wealth Is trust must stand by the side OF the
doctrine that labor Is an nOuor and liberty is an
obedience. The materialisIn that threatens the
American Church Is not the matertalism or Her
bert Spencer. 1t Is the materialism or The rail-
road, tue factory, the shOp-the Inateralism that
puts tninghOod above manhood; that does not
know that things were made Tor man, not man Tor
thin 1S-that God gives US, not Irishmen TO build
railroads, but railroads to build Irisnnen; not
Hungarians 10 dig our mines, but mines to de.
velop manhood In Hungarians.

Flowers aud ferns, and the soft green moss;

Where swift wings giance, ano the tree tops toss;
Spaces OF silence, swept with song,
Which nobody hears buf the God above;

Summing themselves IL his guarding, love.
Such safety and peace in the heart of the woods

Glimmers the tsrn where the will deer drink;

To peep at herself DER the grassy brink.
