70 It More Than to Any Thing Else Wa
Due the Poets Success.

To It More Than to Any Thing Else was
Due the Poets Success.
The energy of action in Browning'a
work has also counted for much in the
appeal to his contemporaries. Energy
tells at all times, but in century re.
markable for it's vigor, in ceaseless un.
rest, seeking outlets for its life in every
direction, excited by its more constan,
and direct consciousness of its daily life
throughout the world and also bette,
acquainted with the history of the past,
filled with great popular movements and
wide-reaching philanthrophy and sym.
pathy, a poet who infuses his work with
vitality and seems to prize it for its own
sake breathes the air of the times. II
is said that the purest artistic pleasure
lies in contemplation; in action there is
pleasure of another kind, more strenu.
GUS. A poet who sets forth the en-.
ergy of life appeals to this latter
sensibility, aroused through sympathy
with the doing of deed, rather
than to the former, which involves
disinterestedness and disengagement
of the mind. Browning himself
in many exculpatory verses, set:
forth his claim to the virtue of strength
he is ever praising force for it's own
sake, in the vein of Carlyle; he likes tx
exhibit it in others at its highest pitch.
Our own age sympathizes with this
spirit, and finds it moro native to itself
than the mood of contemplation, which
is the condition of a more ideal art
Browning, however, had reinforced even
this powerful attraction by presenting
life, not only with great vital force, but
upon the broadcast scale. He works in
the whole field of history, brings hil
reading in forgotten books to bear, and
crowds the stage with marvelously
diverse gathering of great and obscure
men, of artists and musicians. of Jew
Arab and Greek, of real and imaginary
characters; and thus he has satisfied the
intelligent curiosity of his readers, play
ing on the past of the races history, and
seeking to reconstruct it. He has dsalt
with the life of man in this varied way
in all ages, in all moods of the mind
and has added to his observation mas.
of reflection which keeps curiosity itsel
alive and supports it. He is possibly al
much obliged to the intellect of hi,
readers, to their appetite for knowl
edge, rs to their poetical sense, in ,

TRINITY CHURCH.

hs was rector of the Church of the Ad-
vent, Philadelphia, and for the next
seven years rector of the Church OF the
Holy Trinity in that city
In 1869 he became rector Of Trinity
Church in his native city, where he has
since remained, declining many calls to
go elsewhere. Some years ago pro-
fessorship at Harvard was offered him
and refused, and in 1885 he was
elected Assistant Bishop of Pennsylva-
mia. he seems perfectly satisfied with
his present influential position and its
annual salary of twelve thousand dol
lars. He is ably assisted in his duties
by Rev. Mr.. Roberts and Rev. Goodwin
Smith.
He holds s'low church, views and has
frequently preached for other denomina-
tions.
Among his published works are:
"Lectures on Preaching" efore the
Yale Divinity School; Sermons, g. flu
enee of Jesus" (Bohlen lectures de-
livered in Philadelphia in 1879 'sBap-
tism and Confirmation, etc.
Trinity Church, Boston, was built in
1877 by q society formed in 1928, an off
shoot from the Kings Chapel congrega-
ton. Its first church building was
erected in 1875. 1t was plain wooden
structure with gambrel roof, but in
spite of its barn-like appearance, its in
terror was the most elegant in Boston.
Here General Washing ton attended
services in 1889. The rectors of this
church have been distinguished for their
eloquence and fame. In 1928 fine
granite structure was erected ON the
site Of the old church and this was de.
stroyed by the fire of November, 1879.
The present church was built in 1871
and is the finest church in Boston, vast
and picturesque. Itfaces Copley Square,
or ''Ar. Square," around which is
grouped much Of the finest architecture
Of the city. It is of dark granite and
brown freestone, French Romanesqu ue
in style, and cost three-quarters of 9
million dollars. In it's architecture i,
endeavors to exemplify the repose and
grandeur of that of the eleventh century
in Aquitaine.
Its huge pyramidal tower is covered
with red tiles from Akron, o., rises 21l
feet in air, and is conspicuous land
