In his recent volume of Stone lectures
Professor Thompson relates striking
Incident of sudden return to faith by
the true definition of self. The case is
taken from Miss Peabody's "Reminis-
ceuces Of Channing."
Ayoung lieutenant being left in charge
of q company Of soldiers, fell to thinking
of the nature Of his control over his men.
His meditation proceeded thus: "These
men are governed not by the complex of
my thoughts nor by the complex of the
laws of nature, Of which they know
nothing, but by me-a self determining
force, free spirit, person." And at
once it flashed like lightning upon him,
"And God is behind the complex Of the
laws Of nature-a self acting, free, SUI
preme, infinite person, to whom all finite
persons are responsible" He rushed to
his valise, and took out the Bible his
mother had put into it when he left
home, and, for the first time, opened it.
He could not believe that it was by blind
chance his eyes fell upon the words from
Isaiah quoted by Christ in the synagogue
of Nazareth on the day he commenced
his ministry, 1.-The spirit Of the Lord is
upon me-" etc. AS he read the words,
he thought he heard roar Of artillery,
and sprang TO the door of his tent-to
learn that the roar was within his OWL

Uhe Mighty Work Accom- plished by the
Poor Man from Bromley"
Among all the stormy Sundays In these
modern times there Is one that ought to
be memorable in the history of redemp-
ton. 1t was day Of violent snowstorm
In the town of Colchester, England. A
bright lad Of fifteen dhe son of min,
ister) wanted to go somewhere to divine
service that day, and he decided to turn
down an obscure street or court and en-
ter little primitive Methodist" chapel.
He found dozen or fifteen poor people
assembled, and presently thin, plainly
dressed man entered, who proved to be
local preacher from Bromley. The
preacher, who was rather an illiterate
man, thought that there were too few
people to have any service, but the fore
man in a coalyard said to him, "You
must preach" So he mounted the pull
pit and gave out as his text, "Look unto
me and be ye saved, all the ends Of the
earth" During his simple unlettered
sermon he fixed his eye on the lad in the
gallery and said: young man, you will
never get out Of your trouble unless you
look to Christ. Look, look, look to
Christi That was the gist of the ex-
hortation. The arrow struck.
That evening the lads father said TO
him, "Come, Charles, it is time to go to
bed" The boy replied, "Father, have
been under deep conviction of sin for
some weeks. and this morning / went to
the Primitive Methodist chapel and
learned the way Of salvation; the minis.
t. told me only to look, look to Jesus"
Till q late hour the lad conversed with
his father, and went to bed a happy and
converted SOUL Now IL there was q
spot on earth that the angels beheld
that day with joy it was that pew in
that humble chapel gallery. And of all
Gods ministers on the globe the one
that did the mightiest work was the
"poor man from Bromley" for the lad
converted that morning was no other
than Charles Haddon Spurgeonl The
very name of the faithful exhorter has
been lost, and no one knoweth now who
he was. But when the master bestow-
eth his crowns there will be diadem Of
glory for the "poor man from Bromley"
who faced hard snowstorm to bring
the message of salvation to the greatest
minister of modern times. That stormy
Sabbath has its record on high through
all eternity.-Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler
In Christian at Work.

ooRRroAN AND THE POPE.
The Now York Archbishop Contradict
Statement Of His Holiness.

fne NOW YORK ArohplshoD Oontfad1cts
a Statement Of His Holiness.
LONDON, Aug. "A dispatch received
hero from Rome contains remarkable
statement as regards tho attitude of
Archbishop Corrigan toward Archbishop
Ireland, and incidentally the pope in the
Faribault school matter and its recent
treatment by the Vatican. The state
ment was given out by high authority
ct the Vatican. The dispatch snys:
considerable surprise has been caused
here by an effort of Archbishop Corri-
gan to establish the inexactness of one
of the statements of the pope in his re-
cent letter to the New York bishops.
After the conservation of Bishop Nc
Donald, of Brooklyn. the archbishop of
New York addressed letter to
the pope, signed by himself and
some of his suffragans, saying that it
had come to their knowledge that a
threat had been made to tine pope that a
Culturkampf would break ont in Amer
tca If the pope Ventured to condemn the
arrangements lately made by Arch
bishop Ireland of the schools situated in
Faribanlt and Saltwater, Mimi.
In his reply the pope distinctly stated
that nobody had made such threat.
Upon receipt of the letter the archbishop
of New York, to prove his point, col
lected a number of quotations from the
memorial of the Archbishop of st. Paul,
and of the letters of Cardinal Gibbons
that seemed to bear different sense,
and forwarded them to Rome to the
members of the sacred college, wrapped
in separate packages, in order to show
by contrast the mistake of the pope.
But the quotations are not to the point,
for in none Of them does either Cardinal
Gibbons or Archbishop Ireland ever say
to the pope that an American cultur.
kainpf would follow the condemnation
of arrangements for the schools of Fari-
bault and saltwater. They only allude
In general manner to remote danger
overhanging the church in America II
certain false pretensions made there re-
Gently were permitted to grow.
Archbishop Gorrigan's step has caused
most painful impression here, and it is
regarded as an act of great disrespect to
his holiness.
