ject in life. He burns with the convic-
ton that, the spiritual welfare of tie
poor working people being obtained,
the specious dangerous labor problems
with which their hearts throb to-day
will, of necessity, be brought to fitting
conclusion.
Another great point in this great or
ator's favor are the physical qualities
he possesses, that complete him as
greatpreacher. He is of unusually tall
statute, of square but splendidly mould
ed and noble features, face that has
about it halo, an earnest manifesto
ton most evident of great sincerely,
honesty, conviction, kindness, deepest
feeling of real sympathy with the suf-
ferings and wants and mistakes of hui
manity. Then, too, that grand voice,
ringing out in deep musical tone with
burning, eloquentlanguage, showing the
man of study, of culture. whose truest
culture as complete man of God has
been obtained by total familiarity
with all classes of Gods creatures.
Again the magnifcence of expression,
deiiyery-great because unconsciou-as
gift of God, not study; all these go to
make him Incompatible in the place
and work he has so nobly filled.
F. G. A. SPLINTER
is comparatively a young man-about
thirty-five years of age-ten years
priest-the same length of time en-
gagged on the missions in the West
Here his work, through necessity of the
obscure places he has been in, has not
brought him into the great prominence
of his worthy co-laborer in the mission.
Yet his order has recognized his un-
usual powers, and five years ago in
trusted him with the great RESPONSE
bilty of caring for and fostering the mis-
sionary work In this our Western
country.
he has filled every expectation. To-
day he promises a great and successful
the splendid gifts with which he has
been misunderstanding as an end
recognition of his powers as
preacher and missionary-not
alone in the West but through
out the whole country. His work in
the West has brought the greatest sue
cess-has compelled wide and sincere
praise. He is also man of tall stat
ure, slender form, ascetie appearance,
with head grandly formed and fea-
lures regularly chiseled-a profile COM
pletely classic. Very often there has
been remarked strangely strong re-
semblance between him and that emil
nent and honorable tragedian, Booth.
He is very ObtruSive-intenSely hum
BILE. His order has sought to honor
him, but never could prevail on him to
accept recognition of his labors or his
talents. There is about him a great and
indescribable charm-in the pulpit a
most strange force. His words, ideas,
the thoughts they convey cut, one as
the keenest blade, and anon flash upon
the mistaken sinners soal as Gods
own lightning, bringing remorse where
wrong, light where dark. His career
will be remarkable. He is unusually
| gifted.
The trend of his discourse is to lash
with fiery words, seething in Divine
anger for the wilful crimes of man, the
wilful Ignorance of man; to the weak,
ignorant mercy; to all others, no COM
promise, but repentance now and for
| ever. His invectives have been most
narrowing and dread. This great
preacher is as thunderbolt of Heaven,
another Thau-maturgus. To-day the
