French Speaking Statesmen.

Many Of the leading statesmen are
good French scholars. Edmunds
reads French easily. Hoar has many
French books in his library. Allen G.
Thurman's amusements lie in the read
ing of French novels, and John Sher-
mans library is full of foreign books
of finance, and he reads the French,
though he does not speak it. Thur
man learned the French at the same
time he learned to snuff. 1t was when
he was boy. A French professor,
who had very pretty daughter, asked
Thurman's mother to take charge of
the girl, and she did so on the condi-
ton that the professor would give
young Allen French lessons. Pratt
Ting with the maiden and taking les
sons of the professor he got a founda-
ton in the language which is not sur
passed by that of any of our public
men. The old professor snuffed and
the boy begged pinches of the titillat-
ing powder between the sentences, and
thus acquired the habit, which has
stack to him through life, and which,
added to his big nose and the gOr-
geous handkerchief which he uses to
wipe it, has given him the title OF
knight of the Red Bandana.

Modern ESiSOtry vs.. .A nm anity
and Christianity.

Last Sunday evening, in the Uni
versalist Church, full congregation
listened to an able and interesting lee
tire on this subject. Rev. Mr.. Wilson
spoke without notes, and in a very
kind and Christian spirit. Gratefully
and emphatically did he recognise the
fraternal disposition manifested to-
ward him and his church by many in
other denominations. He said that
the history of religion is not always
pleasant reading. Frequently and
severely has the spirit of bigotry been
manifested, In the name of Christ
many of the worst crimes against hu-
anity have been committed. But
the world is growing better. The old
methods of torture are no longer toll
Grated. And yet higotry, social, po-
litical and ecclesiastical, still exists
Ii has recently been exhibited in Por.
tage county, in refusing to open
churches for funerals, because Uui
versalist minister was to preach 1t
has been manifested in excluding
Universalists from g Union Thanks.
giving meetings, and in protesting to
arrange for Union Temperance meet
ings, yet taking the precaution to ex-
ciude at least one pastor and his
church. Orthodox clergymen are un-
willing TO have religious associations
with Universalists, and one minister
went so far as to advise his congrega-
tion not to encourage or cOuntenance
the Universalist Church.
Some of this bigotry is inherited,
some is the result of education, and
much is caused by narrow, ialse and
dying theology, that is afraid of the
light-a theology that rests upon as
rather than everlasting truth
that DIR. Hodge, the distinguished
Princeton theologian, says is " Not
System Of Common Sense, but of profound
and awful mystery. Not one distin-
fundamental principle of this
theology can be thoroughly embodied
in life without incurring the condem.
nation of the civilised world. And
when orthodox ministers stand by The
impehitent dead their creeds are DOW
erless for comfort. II they furnish
any consolation to the mourners they
have to borrow it from Universalism.
Yet this theology that cannot be lived,
and that is dumb in the presence of
sorrow, assumes to place a flaming
sword at the gate of the kingdom of
Christ, saying to all who do not and
cannot accept it, you cannot enter.
This bigotry, wherever it exists, is
the foe of humanity and Christianity.
An honest difference of opinion should
not make enemies. We should always
respect honest convictions. Mr.. Will
son said that he could say "God bless
you," to all churches that he had
tried to treat all with courtesy, and
was ready to work in all honorable
ways for the helping of humanity.
Every man made better by other
helps make Universalism
true in fact. He exhorted his church
to be true and loyal to conviction, to
be courteous and friendly to all, not
to be bigOts but Christians, and seek
to make the Church a still greater
power for helping men live, and for
the bereaved and SORROW
