A TRIBUTE TO BISHOP BROOKS

The following summing up by Rev.
beaconlight of Methodism, Zion S
Herald, of elements of strength in
that grand man who has just been
elected bishop down in Massachu-
sets, Rev. Phillips Brooks. is partic-
ularly good:
First He has a message. His
soul is a reservoir bursting from an
outlet. He is a student who has
studied, thought, reflected until he is
a full man. There is so much he has to
say, and so much that he must say,
that he must rush on in his delivery.
Phillips Brooks is commissioned
with a great message, and it must
be told with haste. IfPhillips Brooks,
with all the greatness OF his PERSONAL
ity, stood in his pulpit without a
message, he would also stand there
without hearers. And this leads to
a characterization of his message.
Second. He has a fresh message
amined, appropriated and transform
Gu 1HtO HIS OWL personality. ne
listener feels consciously that the
messenger is preaching out Of him
SELF with vital, sincere, enthusiast
tic faith in what he is saying. He
LAYS hold of the intuitions of the
soul, and answers their most earnest
interrogati lions. He seldom quotes;
he stops not to prove; he rarely
antagonizes; he has message from
the skies as new and fresh as if it
had never been told before The
people are diving to hear such mes
sage. They have not to be constrain-
ed to listen. They cannot be kept
away.
Third. He has a helpful message.
He breaches gospel OF good news,
of edihcation, of light, hope and
cheer. His theology eliminates in
love to God, and love to man. His
love for men and his desire to serve
them so thrills him that, while he
never speaks of it specifically, yet it
goes out of him with inspiring and
sympathetic touch for all. The
audience recognize gratefully that
the preacher is struggling to make
the gospel simple and helpful to
them, just applicable to their i'm
mediate and pressing need

A QUEER BUSINESS.

A great English editor, Mr.. Henry
Labouchere, tells of an advertisement
that appeared recently in one of the
London papers which read as fol-
lows:
ID well packed. Ida Weston, care of Mrs.
Taylor Hawthorn Terrace, Canterbury.
This was such a strange advertise
ment that Mr.. Labouchere thought
he would inquire into it, and so he
sent to Miss Weston a note request
ing her to send him birch rod as
advertised, and enclosing the neces-
sary shilling. Shortly the rod ar
rived, and with it a note from Miss
Weston to this effect.
Miss Weston encloses one rod
herewith. 1t must be STEPPED in
water to restore its suppleness, and
the handle may be wrapped in rib
bon. Miss Weston advertises at a
loss, but with a view to restore the
rod and reform the present unframed

FARM AND HOME.
SWEET PEA.

Why love you so
Is plain to see
You are the dearest flower OF all,
Sweet pea!
A bit of purple cloud
Caught on a stalk;
rosy vapor floating down
My garden walk;
The spirit of flower
With wings for flight,
Yet held by clinging roots
For our delight.
A lovely type you are
OF souls, ah me,
Earth-bound yet ever reaching up,
Sweet pea.

short time student in Roanoke Col
lege, at Salem. In 1880 he graduated

distinguished lawyers and political
enconomists on the special commission
appointed, under an act of Assembly of
1886, to investigate and report upon the
system of general and local taxation in
force in Maryland. The report of this
commission, devised and written by him,
has been pronounced by a famous politl-
cal economist one of the most complete
on the subject in existence. While
Johns Hopkins University he became
acquainted with the now distinguished
DR.. Richard II. Ely, professor of politi-
cal economy in the university, and SUBJ
sequently procured the appointment of
DIR. Ely as an associate on the tax COM
mission.
