If a child may be lawfully left TO perish

logically follow that slaughter Of the in

same mantle. And that is precisely what

The men whom thou gavest me.-John xvii. 6.
To thousands of men who never saw
Phillips Brooks. who never heard him.
the announcement Of his death came
with the close consciousness of personal
loss. For my own part, | feel as if one
OF my own hearts blood had been taken
from the world.
He was one of the worlds great preach
ers. Every now and then some little
quill driver that makes about 50 80 a week
IN writing will come out with this ire
mendous question, why has the pulpit
declined in powerY always think of
that old problem of why was it, if you
put fish in bucket of water when the
water was on the scales, that after the
fish had been put in it weighed no more
than before. Men argued over that for
years before they thought of putting the
fish in and weighing it, when they found
1t weighed as much more as the weight
OF the fish. So men discuss today, why
rs 1t that the pulpit has declined in pow
err The pulpit today has power it has
never had in the history of the world
There are men today in Gods pulpit who
'as individuals tower high among the
stars. as did the great giants of the past.
The rank and file have been given far
greater power. Think of an army of lO0,-
GOO ministers in America-trained men,
picked men-marching with a single
thought. whatever may be the colors of
their regiments or the differences that
subdivide them-l00, 900 men animated
with one thought and sustained in that
battle by the living spirit of the living
God! There never was an hour when tie
pulpit had such resistless power as it has
today. and the only time when it is weak
is when the man in it is not conscious of
the fact that God has gwen him lever
age with which to overturn the world il
he pulls strong enough on it.
SOURCES OF HIS POWER
An uhdf did the poicer and success Of
Philips Brooks mainly consistp
First-ln the inherent grandeur of the
manhood of the man.
He was a manly man. believe that
IN the Christian ministry, as nowhere
else, manhood is the basis of all inherent
power. A man is sacred because his
manhood is sacred. You can lay as many
hands on man as you please, wrap
round him as many robes as you please,
take him through as many ecclesiastical
processes as you please, ordain him in a
cathedral If you like, but unless God
has ordained him from his mothers .

Knew Many Famous Yyriters.

There is an elderly resident of Brook
lyn who in his youth saw much of the
Scotch and English writers through his
intimacy with the head of a large d. D
fishing house. He affirms the truth of
the story that it was the habit of Thomas
De Quincy to draw little brush from

vessel. said % the captain, 81 believe that
ship can be saved and carried into har-

tain to go aboard of her and take two
men. Both captains tried to dissuade
him, but the prize was great. and he be-
lieyed it could be done. So he did and
cut away from the steamer. which went
on her way. And working with might
and main they got those pumps into per-
feet order and righted the ship and
brought her before the wind into the har-
Dor of New York, where all her cargo
belonged to those three brave men, who
believed that from the jaws of raging
sea that ship could be brought into port.
The man who believed it was possible
made it possible.
1t was this great thought that was one
of the keynotes to his ministry. He be-
heved in man and had faith in God, and
this great theme of faith and its divine
power to transform and illumine and
lift up was one of the mighty themes of
his great soul
Such man can never die. A distin-
guished art critic said that he saw pic
ture once in an art gallery of poverty and
misery in faraway desert of Russia. So
realistic was the picture that he said
through his whole life a thousand pictures
were made because Of that. He could
see it reproduced in every life of suffer

A Dance without a Smile.

They have a singular kind of dance
conducted on the greens of country viii
lagos in Russia. The dancers stand
apart, a knot of young men here, a knot
of maidens there, each sex by itself, and
silent as a crowd of mutes. A piper
breaks into a tune, a youth pulls off his
cap and challenges his girl with a wave
and a bow. IF the girl is willing, she
waves her handkerchief in token of as
sent. The youth advances, takes a cor
ner of the handkerchief in his hand and
leads his lassie round and round.
No word is spoken, and no laugh is
heard. Stiff with cords and rich with
braids the girl moves heavily by herself,
going round and round, and never al
lowing her partner to touch her hand
The pipe goes droning on for hours in
the same sad key and measure, and the
prize of merit in this "circling," as the
dance is called. is given by spectators tc
the lassie who in all that summer revelry
has never spoken and never smiled
