scys she TUX fire in the mid-ocean. an
every soul was lost 'cept the second
mate, Joe Jarvin, an him. Jake says
that poor Jack worked like hero, but
he saw him go down Wi his own eyes.
Poor Miss Hillard's like on crazy sence
she's got the news"
The girl rose to her feet and crept
down to the sitting room with face
like death.
Tell me the TRUTH she gasped, tell
me, mother, what is it about jack"
Hes lost" put in Miss Tabitha; "his
ship burnt at sea- the pilot got here this
mornin'."
Janet crossed the room and sat down
on the doorstep. The same familiar
sights and sounds, the same old life, and
Jack gone.
A dull, aching pain filled her heart, a
pain that nothing in all the after years
of her life could ever alleviate.
Miss PAMELA came out on her way
home.
"Goodby, child" she said kindly;
don't take it to heart, but tbs awful
sudden, [ know. How pity poor Jacks
mother! I'd go down and try and COM
fort her, but they have sent for me at
Judge Seaton's. The Davenports got in
tons engaged to Lizzie Davenport-the
weddin's to come off this winter. they
say"
Janet heard the words like one in a
dream Tom Seaton to be married! and
for his meaningless dattery she had been
false to poor Jack!
Christmas day came, and, according to
an established custom, Farmer Gresham
and his wife went to dine with an old
uncle; but Janet begged to remain at
home.
The great logs moldered into glowing
Goals. Presently the old watch dog be-
gan to bay in his kennel and footstep
crunched the sleet upon the porch. She
took the candle in her hand and opened
the door.
A tall figure confronted her-a man
dressed in sailors garb and all bronzed
and bearded and changed. but she knew
him in an instant.
"Oh, Jack-Jack, are you alive? Has
God sent you back to me?
His strong, clasping arms, his kisses
on her lips and face answered She chung
to him, sobbing like a child. He drew
her into the room and up to the glowing
fire.
MY beautiful darling" he cried, gaz-
ing down enraptured into her sweet face,
land you do love me, you are my own"
Your own forever more. please God,"
she answered solennly.
Then, sitting beside him in the fire
light, she heard the story of his miracu-
lous escape from death, and in turn told
the story of her own folly and unfath-
fulness. But he only clasped her all the
closer as he listened.
And when the spring came aud the
blue birds sang the contents of the cam
phorwood box were brought to light,
and the sheeny silk was fashioned into
bridal robe, and with the lustrous pearls
amid her gold brown braids, Janet look
ed the loveiest bride that ever the sun
shone on.-Philadelphia Press

AS student DR.. Newton has great
memory, he has read extensively and
he has accumulated great stores of learn
ing. But be is man who lacks mental
perspective If subject appeals to him
it is with force and in manner that
excludes all other subjects for the time
being. He bends all the power Of his
mind to that one thing, and he follows it
out to the logical end unfinchingly. He
does not see that other things. were he to
reflect on them, might alter the conclu-
sions to which he has arrived. Were he
steering a ship he would calculate the
direction Of the wind and fix his helm
he would forget the currents which
might prevent his arrival at his destina-
ton The illustration is not good, but it
will serve.
1t may not be denied that many of the
old beliefs, at one time part and parce 81
Of the churches, are not held to be ne
cessary by many men today. This move
ment among men has gathered strength
during the present century. 1t was
recognized by the bishops of the Protest
ant Episcopal church when they de-
clared the Apostles creed and the Nicene
creed to contain all dogma necessary. It
is making itself felt among the Presby-
terians in the demand for revision of
the Westminster Confession. There is a
cry abroad among the people for more
liberty in belief, it is commended, that
conditions may modify that which we
must have faith in. This movement,
rightly understood, is but the postulate
of the evolution in government, in Gus
toms. in all else that affects society.
The effect of such movement on such
man as DR.. Newton might have been
foreseen. He has taken hold Of it, and
has carried it on beyond the point where
many men will follow. He has not been
restrained by memories of the past; he
has been unable to see that the church
to which he belongs rests on that, and
derives from it her right to her present.
DR.. Newton suffers. He is a deeply
religious man, and one who feels acutely
being criticised and misunderstood
There is probably in his mind no difficulty
whatever in reconcihng his strongest
utterances with the creeds; he is unable
to understand how such difficulty may
present itself to others. Like others who
have preceded him in this most unhappy
Of all lots, that of the path finder, the
maker of the way, he is man who has
the courage of his convictions, and he
will fight for what he believes to be the
truth His request that committee be
appointed showed he was ready and
eager for the fray. But for all that he
is destined to suffer much before the
smoke Of battle has cleared away, and
,, it may be for the time his opinions will
be condemned. ALFRED BALCH.

CONCERNING HEBER NEWTON.
Careful Analysis of His Views and
2tRln@

Careful Analysis of His Views and
Status.
New York, July 2.-The Reverend r.
Heber Newton, D. D., rector of All
Souls church. New York city, is at the
present moment one of the best talked
about clergymen in the United States.
The action of his clerical brethren in
asking Bishop Henry @. Potter, of the
diocese of New York, to appoint COM
mittee of clergymen to examine the or
thodoxy of DR.. Newton. has drawn the
attention of Episcopalians to him in a
manner and to an extent which are amaz-
ing, none the less so because the book on
which the charges rest was published
four years ago.
To his friends and those who agree
with him DIR. Newton is S1an threat
ened with persecution from that element
inherent in every church-the element
which breads change Of any kind before
all things 1t is natural, under the cir
cumstances, that they should regard the
movement with some bitterness, and
should denounce those who have taken
part in it as wilfully trying to injure a
good man from envy or other unworthy
motives To them the freedom of dis
cussion and the night Of private judg-
ment are very dear, and what they be-
Reve to be an attack on these in the per
son of one who has done much to bring
that which is new in religious thought
before his hearers they strongly con-
denim.
To his opponents and those who dis
agree with him DR.. Newton is q man
who, in his published utterances, has de-
MED dogmas which they believe neces-
sary to the life Of the Protestant Episco-
pal church. They look on him as doubly
dangerous in that he is making these al
legged attacks from within, and they cry
aloud that he whom they believe to be a
traitor should be thrown without tho
wall of the camp. They declare that i'll
these days the church is threatened by
many enemies, and that it is the duty of
her children to defend her.
The truth of the matter may Re found
somewhere between these extremes, but
in order to understand it it is necessary to
examine the man Heber Newton apart
from the doctor of divinity. To begin
with, he IS and always has been far more
of preacher than parish priest His
intellectual faculties dominate his prac-
teal sy1npathies; he is more at home in
the polemical work of his calling than
in the details of his parish labor. In all
ages and in all denominations there have
been these men, and to them the world
owes the discoveries, the definitions, the
elaborate arguments, the great systems
of theology. A refinement of this class
Of mind has produced the casuists
