anybody having noticed how he came.
a gentleman apparently Is years of
age. 1t was such an apparition as
could not but compel instant attention.
He was of m,ddle height, fragile and
spare body, elegantly proport'oned in
form, His features were almost femi-
nine and of classic beauty, and yet at
the very first glance there could be de-
tected in them an undefinable express
sion which gave warning that under
this mask of softness there lurked
something to be guarded against-hard
iron or sharp steel within an envelope
Of velvet or silk. Intensely black were
his hair, the beard on his upper lip and
his lustrous eyes. Black was his whole
dress from head to foot, its neatness
e7idencing- the unmistakable cut of a
fash enable artist. Black. also, were
bis closely fitting gloves. His coat OF
the finest cloth, was buttoned up to his
chin, and showed to advantage his
statuesque bust. Altogether there could
not have stood in any princely hall
more aristocratic looking parsonage.
A poet would have called him the god
of darkness.
This stranger-for no one present
knew him-seemed to abstract himself
completely from his surroundings, and
for while looked intently at the gam

it with the magnetizng fluid Of h will.

and the workngmen."
81 have taken it for granted" he said, that the
relations Of the church TO the workngmen are not
what We would like, and that the drift Of sentiment
among the most thoughtful wage workers and those
most influential with them Is away from the churches
Il "a desirable to know the reason for this. The COM

CHURCHES fail to influence their conduct 10 impress

Every theological seminary, he insisted should have

VstA which subject he thought the minister should
become thoroughly familiar.
These expressions gave rise 70 some opposition
among his audience OF ministers.
