Another Literary odditv

Those readers who remember the
"E-less" poem will, no doubt be equally
interested in the following literary oddity,
production containing So words, 112 els,
and no other vowels, says theSt. Louis Re
public: 1--WE feel extreme feebleness
when we seek perfect excellence hero. 1--WE
well remember men everywhere err. Even
when Edens evergreen trees sheltered
Eve the serpent crept there. Yet, when
tempted when cheerlessness depressed,
when helplessness fetters, when we seem
deserted-then we remember Bethlehem;
we beseech the Redeemer's help. We ever
need the rest the blessed expect"

location of the Seminary and Col
lege is generally called.
On Tuesday evening Rev. DR.. c.
c. Hersman, who had been APP
pointed last year to the chair of
Biblical Literature and Interpreta-
ton of the New Testament, delivered
his inaugural address, and on We'd
nesday, after the graduating exer-
cises were concluded, DIR. 7. G.
Johnson delivered the one which he
had prepared as Professor of the
English Bible.
We have never heard or read two
ADLER inaugural addresses. They
showed that these two professors
fully appreciated the work to which
they had been called, and fully
comprehended the methods by
which it could be accomplished
with best results.
These admirable addresses will be
published. DR.. Johnson's will APP
pear in the next number of the
Presbyterian Quarterly. 1t contrasts
most favorably in every respect, in
ability, in clear and honest state
ment of views and in fidelity to
Bible truth, with the noted inau-
gural delivered in another " Union
Theological Seminary" by a profess
sor who was transferred to it's chair
of Biblical Theology.
The Board of Trustees found the
affairs of the Seminary in a whole
some condition, and the income
sufficient to meet the necessary ex-
penses, with something to spare for
repairs and improvements. The
extensive grounds and the buildings
of the institution presented their
handsomest appearance at this
lovely season of the year A num-
Der of pretty houses have lately
been erected and the place is be-
coming, year by Year, more attrac-
tive. Its spacious and grassy lawns,
and its groves of noble oaks can
scarcely be surpassed anywhere.
Everything is suggestive of a place
dedicated to learning and favorable
to study and education.

idea rules a mans life. All his
outward conduct moulds itself about
the inner idea. If this is religious,
the idea of God, duty to Christ,
then holy living must ensue. The
dominant idea will assert itself.
Non-conformity to the world then
is not simply not doing what the
world does, but not having the
worlds spirit then there will not be
the worlds conduct.
~
The renewing of the mind, spirit
dominating flesh, God in the place
of self, Christ the example, in the
place of the world"-when these
traits mark the soul then the man
may call himself Christian. Then
the Christian life is not forced, not
constrained, not mechanical. 1t is
spontaneous, natural, and like all

ting forth of its energies is joyous,

Notes Here and There.

Thought is only valuable as it
leads to right action, or goes to
mould character, moral and reli-
glous. Much, therefore, of religious
talk and emotion goes to waste, be-
cause it never reaches action or
crystallizes into character. Charac-
ter is higher than thought or emo
ton. 1t is both, moulded into right
form and solidlty. Thought ought
to be to character what air and dew
and soil are to the plant, forces
which mould it into flower and fruit.
IN
Men of great creative power,
whether in prose or poetry, rarely
are men of broad catholic taste.
That very force which propels them
to create along a certain line, so
concentrates and emphasizes itself,
so spends all its power, so absorbs
itself in that line as to leave no in
terest In any other. 1t is generally
the non-prOductive minds, those not
drawn by power of genius to any one
direction in powerful manner, who
can appreciate and enjoy various
kinds of excellence. They are
driven neither by centripetal nor
centrifugal forces, they sit at the
centre, and look calmly around
their sympathies being radii, run
ming to all parts of the circle alike.
-
Religion is not mere knowing GER
tain facts and truths, mere head
knowledge nor having vague emo
tions or blind feelings. 1t is only
the feelings which arise from clear
views of divine truth loved and ao-
copied which are religious. Reli-
gion is right knowledge and right
feeling united in one complete state.
1t is knowledge kindled into emo
tion-(love, trust, gratitude) and
emotion having its origin in knowl-
edge of divine truth. Religion then
is not knowledge to the exclusion of
feeling, nor feeling to the exclusion
Of knowledge It is both united
and each penetrating the other
right knowledge and right feeling
eliminating in right conduct.

sixty-fve. Last year there were
seventy-three, and it was difficult to
accommodate them ALL Two new
buildings have been erected s.Nce
that time and now there will be
ample accommodation for eighty

The Board of Directors met on
Tuesday afternoon, May Sd. 4 vas
in session two days and transacted
much important business. Since
the last meeting one member O, the
Board, Rev. DR.. Charles White, and
one member of the Seminary Facul-
ty, Rev DIR. J. F. Latimer, lave
died. A committee was appointed
to draft resolutions testifyips le
high estimation in whioB they re
held and the sense of loss s, q
Seminary by the death of two such
men who had rendered able SER
vice to this institution and to
the Church.
The appointment of professor
to fill the chair of Ecclesiastical
History and Polity, left vacant by
the death of Prof. Latimer, was
matter that received most earnest
and careful consideration. After
full conference the Board thought
it was best to transfer to that chair
Prof. T. G. Johnson, who had last
year been elected Professor of the
English Bible and Pastoral Theol-
ogy. This arrangement was en-
tirely acceptable to DR.. Johnson,
and this made it necessary to APP
point a new professor to the chair
made vacant by the transfer. Very
heartily and with entire unanimity
the Board selected, for this impor-
tant professorship, Rev. DR.. E. II.
Barnett, of Atlanta, Ga. DIR. Bar
nett had not sought the place and
was In no sense a candidate for
that chair or any other. He was
selected by the Board only on the
ground of his eminent fitness for
the chair. A committee was ap-
pointed consisting of Rev. DR.. P.
fl. Hoge and Rev. L. B. Turnbull,
to inform him of his election and
to urge his acceptance. This ap.
pointment, in addition to the pre-
sent able faculty, will make the
Seminary one of the very best
equipped institutions for thorough
ministerial training in our land.
1t is the custom to have, in con-
nection with the closing exercises
of the session, an address before the
Society of Religious Inquiry and
also an address by a member of the
Board to the graduating class. The
first of these addresses was delivered
on this occasion monday EVENING"
by Rev. DR.. P. Fl. Hoge, of Will

graduating class, on Wednesday

preaching the word" (Acts viii: ~.
In many cases this must have been
by unordained persons in social
intercourse. 1t would have been a
strange and inexplicable silence, if
private Christians possessed of
knowledge SO necessary for the SAL
walton of a dying world, had kept
that knowledge to themselves as
they wandered freely through
strange cities and enjoyed the hos
pitality of the inhabitants.
There flows an abundant stream
of light from little incidents in the
narrative of PauPs missionary
tours. We find Apollos sitting as
learner of Christian doctrine at
the feet of those two private men,
bers of the primitive Church, Aquila
and Priscilla, and, according to COM
mon conceptions, all propriety was
sacrificed by a preacher thus con-
descending to be instructed. But
we feel justified in deducing from
the statement the practical infer
ence that, in the Christian Church,
any member may lawfully convey
to another person the divine knowl-
edge which he possesses. But still
further, we deny the right of any
disciple to refuse to distribute the
light he enjoys. All grace is be-
slowed for this very purpose, and it
violates the essential character of
the gospel to enjoy it's benefits
ourselves without seeking to in
form others. This is the one talent
which it is shameful to lay up in a
napkin, and not use for the glory
of God and the good of man.
x
We hear much said about the
difficulty of reaching the Masses"
and this is supposed to be the great
religious problem of the age. But
there is no such problem, at least
for the private Christian. Molecu-
lar influence is what is needed.
Individuals must do more individ-
ual work. Associate action can
not accomplish that which has been
committed to living persons. Every
bee in the hive must make it's own
cell, and fill it with it's own honey.
Organised effort is we'll enough, but
the tendency of our age is to evade
personal responsibility byexcessive
organisation 1t is time to revive
the fast fading impression that each
soul is destined to render a personal
account unto God. The Judgment
will not deal with men in the mass,
but as units in the sight of God.
Hoarding the grace of Christ is
virtual her sy of the deepest dye.
1t denies the fundamental truth
that the gospel is given for distri-
button. " Freely We have received,
freely give" But this is the most
general sin in the Christian Church.
1t is the all-suficient reason that
the nineteenth century is about to
expire upon an unconverted world.
Infdelity and heretical preaching
or writing are not the causes. It is
the heresy of unfaithfulness on the
part of millions of processing Chris
tians, who say they know the true
remedy for sin and death, and,
without a word, see their kindred
and neighbors perish for lack of the
very remedy they believe would
save them

the subject which lay nearest to my
heart to Mr.. Birchmore's notice. No

spoke as eloquently as was consistent
with my downright earnestness and sim
certify. Mr.. Birchmore heard me almost
in silence, only giving evidence by an
occasional word or interjection that he
was giving me his attention. Once or
twice, too, was aware Of his having
given me one of those sharp, icy glances
for which he was remarkable. When ]
