1t seems to us just as proper for a clergy
man to take a fee for his services at a funeral
as for his services at a wedding or a christen-
ing. Many clergymen are largely dependent
upon the fees paid to them for special services.
which are sometimes very trying. and which
take up much OF their time. Yet the Christian
Adpocdte holds that a clergyman should not ac-
cept a funeral fec. for tho reason that it is given
for the purpose Of inducing him to e~ulogize
the deceased. 1t may not be given for any
such purpose: 1t may be given as a mark of
appreciation Of services rendered In the per-
formance Of the rites OF burial. The clergyman
has been called upon to perform q clerical
duty which is as worthy OF recognition as are
his other official labors. He need not eulogize
the deceased: the prescribed religious cere-
monies for funerals do not involve anything
OF the kind. II the clergyman has not been
well acquainted with the person at whose fu-
neral he oficiates. it 10 well for him to be worry
guarded in any remarks he may be pleased to
make. In some instances. ~funereal eulogies
that were malapropos have been delivered,
to the grief OF mourners. 1t seems pecu-
liarly wickedto play the hypocrite over acofin.

We were recently asked by Mr.. A. S. PEAsE
Of Saratoga IL there is in our country at this
time any greatest man. whether statesman,
orator. actor. poet. artist. preacher. or lawyer.
Well. Mr.. PEAsE. after thinking OF the ques-
ton and looking over tho country. We must
confess that we do not observe any greatest
man" stalking around or sitting in tho shade
Just now. We notice fair-siZed men in politics
and law. middle-sized mon in oratory and
poetry. and ayerage-sized men in the other
industries upon your list. The towering forms
OF intellectual giants do not loom I'D before
US or cast their shadows athwart our path.
Are there. then. but sixty odd millions OF
common-sized. plain-brained citizens in our
country. without a SAUL. o SAMSON. or a Solo
MON among them? We await the answer Of
Mr.. PEAsE. who has asked a question which
he evidently thinks we must answer with de-
pressed spirits. We ourselves never despair
Of the republic. though the English talk
against 1t.
But. now. Mr.. PEAsE. is there any great man.
or greatest man. who could do for our country
what It's great people have done for it-estab-
lished its liberties. organized and compacted
its elements. created the new spirit which
informs II. developed its resources. piled up
its prosperity. and given it the potential sane
ton OF triumphant democracy? 1t needed q
great people. great in Drawn and brain. to do
these things: and great are tho people that
have done them without boastfulness- No
great NAPOLEON or other great man could have
wrought for our country the works which it's
great people have wrought for 1t. Great are
tho American people!
Besides. the greatest man" OF Mr.. PEAsE
OF Saratoga may turn up at any time. We
shall inspect him when he comes.

Building the City Hall.

measure New York's ability toward adorn.

toward the Post ONCE the more imposing

done to its original beauty.
The Commissioners who have the matter
in charge are men OF liberal intelligence.
They are on the right track when they

not bring in more talent? Why not call a

The Fort Pond Bay scheme.

The Secretary OF War has Just sent to the
| House Committee on Rivers and Harbors
an interesting report from Lieut. Col. Gill
IEsP1E, U. s. Engineers. upon a survey OF
| Fort Pond Bay. at the eastern end OF Long
Island. with a view to the probable cost OF
constructing an adequate break water there.
Fort Pond Bay Is O harbor six miles west
| Of Montauk Point. on the north shore OF the
| peninsula which terminates at Montauk.
| The area OF the bay is about one square
| mile, and tlei 0 are 400 acres OF harbor room
In which the depth OF the water is thirty
| feet or more.
The project which has attracted attention
| to this body OF water lie a scheme for. run.
| ming q line OF fast transatlantic steam
| ships from Milford Haven. in Wales. to Fort
| Pond Bay. whence passengers could be
brought to New York over the Long Island
Railroad, travelling l24 miles by land. in.
stead of the 100 miles by water from the
| vicinity OF Montauk Point to this port. by
the Sandy Hook route.
To reach Fort Pond Bay, says Lieut.. Col.
GILLESPIE. steamers would be obliged to
enter and cross Block Island Sound. going
either west OF Block Island In fair weather
or east OF Block Island in foul. Here there
are submerged distractions to navigation.
which in thick weather would necessarily
affect the speed OF vessels bound for Fort
Pond Bay. II they did not expose life and
property to danger: and these conditions.
Col. GILLESPIE declares. will not be ma
terially changed 30 long as fog prevails on
the coast.
In his report he then proceeds to consider
the argument that the Government ought to
improve Fort Pond Bay because there Is
not water enough on Sandy Hook bar for
| large vessels Of great draught and because
fog ia more prevalent at Sandy Hook than
at Montauk.
He answers this argument by showing
that the depth OF the water at the southern
entrance to New York harbor Is more than
enough for any vessel aloat. being over
thirty feet at mean low water. and that, so
far as fog Is concerned. the difference In the
conditions at Sandy Hook and Montauk is
inappreciable. The electric lights along Ged-
ney Channel enable vessels to cross the bar
atnight with almost as much facility as In
the,daytime. and the largest steamers have
repeatedly come in at nlght-the Teutonic
as nan as six times in a single year. "Al
things considered" writes Col. GILLESPIE.
lit Is reasonable to estimate that the time
consumed in making Fort Pond Bay in thick
weather. by a route east or west Of Block
Island, will be but little less. II any. than
that consumed in making Sandy Hook bar
by the direct ocean route" Hence he
reaches the conclusion that Fort Pond
Bay is not worthy Of improvement in view
Of present or prospective demands Of COM
merce,' and in this opinion Brig.-Gen.
THOMAS L. CASEY. Chief Of the United
States Engineer Corps. expresses his con-
%currence.
It follows that the Fort Pond Bay scheme
for a new transatlantic route may be re-
garded as dead. At all events. no wise man
who reads the reports Of the Government
engineers on the subject will be likely to
invest any money in 1t.

The Length Of Sermons.

Probably the suggestion Of the Hebre,c
Standard that the rabbis reduce the length
OF their m to fifteen minutes is a hint
which most Christian congregations also
would like to give to their preachers.
Why Is 1t that people. who will listen with
continuous delight to a political speech Of
an hour long and cry out for more still.
are restless under a sermon which occupies
more than a quarter OF the time? If. for
instance. BoURKE COCHRAN takes the
platform. his audience are only dis
contented when. he sits down again.
no matter how long he may have
spoken. We never heard anybody complain
OF the length OF the speeches OF Mr.. DEpEw.
Mr.. CoUDERT. Or Mr.. CHoATE. Col. NIGER
SOIL will spend an hour and a half in at
lacking the Christian belief without strain
ing the patience of his hearers, but a
pulpit preacher who occupies more than
fifteen minutes In %expounding and defend
ing 1t Is likely to be looked upon as a bore.
On the other hand. there are preachers in
town who make their congregations forget
the passage Of time. Long as their sermon
may be. they seem short to their hearers.
When Bishop POTTER. DR.. DIX. DR.. HUNT
TNGToN, or DR.. GREER is in the pulpit.
their congregations do not consult their
watches to see whether the preachers have
gone beyond the lfteen-minute limit. The
pulpit absorbs their attention. SO also is it
with those who listen to the sermons of DR..
MACARTHUR. DR.. JOHN HALL. and all the
other noted preachers OF the town.
Tho truth is that the oratorical gift is as
rare among preachers as among other men.
But Its place may be supplied by earnest
ness. depth and force of conviction. and
genuine enthusiasm in both speaker and
hearers. In times OF religious revival the
people do not complain Of the length OF
sermons which are imbued with the same
spirit that stirs their own hearts.
1t Is the length OF the merely perfunctory
sermon delivered in the purely perfunctory
manner that congregations find fault with:
and such. alas! Is the average product OF
the pulpit. Though a sermon OF this sort
occupy only fifteen minutes OF time. it will
seem too long.
The shortening OF the sermon. then. is
not the important subject for consldera-
ton. 1t Is how to infuse genuine enthusi-
asm into the pulpit and sympathetic fervor
into the hearts OF the people.
