That latter-day fad known as Chris

in the receptive north, and makes some
impression in the south not much given
TO "isms" and new things, and sensa-
tionalism. We do not pretend to have

thing with a Boston woman, who has
been married three times, as we hear.

lations from Heaven That God should

after nineteen centuries of teaching, a
woman to be the depository of His will
and His latest revelation to man, would
be very wonderful indeed if true. Many
educated and intelligent people in the
north have become disciples of Mrs.
Eddy. Great claims are set for this
new Science" so-called, hitched on to
the precious, consecrated word-Chris-
tian, to give it character, dignity and
FEASIBILITY. But it has gathered to it's
banner so many converts that it is
high time that the Christian newspa-

with all due earnestness and thorough
ness. If r it should be accepted. If
false it should be mercilessly exposed,

carefully, thoroughly examine it in
honesty and sincerity, and let the peo-

Once we referred to the great DR..
Sam Johnson as perhaps the worst
critic in poetry we had met with, and
we have met with 1lany who had queer
tastes and poor judgment. The old
Doctor wrote some striking lines of
his own, but if you will read carefully
his notes on Shakespeare and his
elves Of the Poets" we think you
will find some positively shocking ex-
amples of wild critical deliverances He
and Pepys held opinions that would
disgrace in 1899. The Doctor said that
in Millions elegant and exquisite "Ly-
cidas' he found hat "the dictation is
harsh, the rhymes uncertain and the
numbers unpleasing." That said of a
poem that is melody itself. Up to
Shelley's famous elegiac poem, and
that most mastery of all, the I'm Me-
moriam' of Tennyson, "Lycidas" was
indeed the greatest of all elegies.
Think of Pepys saying Of that Won
4drous creation of genius, "a Midsum-
Dream'-that has no fell
low in all the realm of verse and in
pirdAoH-lH II Is Tie IHoSI iilSlpiu
ridiculous play that ever I saw in my
Life" The old diarist is something ex-
cusable, for his taste was not pure and
he liyed over two hundred years ago,
when the plays of the greatest of all
poets were not duly appreciated. The
real estimate of the oceanic" Shakes
peare is of a later time, and particu-
larly of this century. C~oleridge gave
true appraisement of his genius, and
since then a multitude of authors of
many lands have crowned him highest,
greatest Of all.

The Irish Carrickfergus Advertiser
contained a touching memorial sonnet
of the late Rev. DIR. Moses D. Hoge, of
Richmond, Va. The last lines we give:
'"Thy realm is thought, and Death is
pOwerleSs here;
Oft wilt thou greet us in the days to
cOme,
The laurel's beauty cleaning ON thy
brow,
And soul to soul we shall
with thee
And thoughts for which even poesy is
dumb
Shall find a voice, and we shall listen
To genius touched by Immortality"
1t was signed IAN Irish Friend" We
never knew SO much to be said of any
southern minister in the secular and
religious newspapers, in the south, in
the north and in foreign lands.

Of the multitude of verse writer's
some really poets-of the last decade
or so, there are a few, some three or
four, who appear to rank highest of
the British writer's. They are Watson,
Davidson, Watts and Philips. We are
no well versed enough In their pro-
auctions to speak with precision. We
> have read some of each. We unit Kip
ling, who is all in all greater in genius
than these, when estimated as poet and
story writer. He is recognized in
Great Britain as the greatest living
force in letters. Possibly Philips out
ranks the others named. The London
literary tribunal, known as 1.-THE
Academy" voted him over $500 as hav-
ing produced the best poetic work of
1888. He is not a really original voice,
but something Of an echo, with special
gifts and much music in his poems.
h fine literary Boston Quarterly
"~Poet-Lore," which is no mean au-
thority in literary matters strictly,
says that Philips is IAN incarnation of
our present temper and says that
he els easily the most original of the
recent aspirants to poetic distinction,
and altogether the most considerable;
and yet in reading his verse it is the
reminiscent mood that predominates.
We open his slender volume, read half
a page and are delighted by a power
of felicitous phrasing that reminds US
Of Keats, without his intangible me-
lOdiouS magic-aS Keats might have
written had he married Fanny
Brawne and grown old. We urn the
pages and come upon a poem that in
it's blunt uncompromising plainness
and realism recalls Crabbe. We lay
the book aside and muse upon its mes
sage and the fnal flavor in our mouth
is a delicate blend of many poets be-
tween extremes so antipodal as Villon
and Matthew Arnold"
But it is not an echo in a really dis
paraging sense. Nearly all young poets
are at first affected by the masters
who have preceded him. Only a few
have escaped this. 1t is easy to trace
the influence of other writer's upon
many mastery singers. Mr.. Philips
will outgrow all imitation, if really so
richly endowed as his sympathizine
critics suppose him to be. The true
poet is sure to find his real place. to
find his own voice at last and to write
lines that the admiring world will not
willingly let die. He will find the pur-
pose Of his life and be mastered per-

18th verse, Christ, the Good Shepherd,
says: Therefore, doth my Father love
me, because I lay down my life for
the sheep, of which He had been speak
ing. He is particular to say that His
own sacrifice was voluntary. II lay
down my life" He repeats the idea or
statement in the next verse-''I lay
it down of myself" He clearly declares
that He has voluntarily given Himself
to suffering and death. He says dis
tinctly-'1 have power to lay it down,
and l have power to talk it again
There is nothing whatever that is COM
pulsory in His sacrifice. But he adds:
"This commandment have I received
of my Father Is there contradiction
in the statements? He AYERS the free
dom of His own action saying He lays
down his life of Himself, and yet He
says it is the Fathers commandment.
Unless you are searching for contra
diction you need not find it. Truth is

Father. Having freely offered Himself

James Russell Lowell had perhaps
more genius than any man Of New
England. unless Nathaniel Hawthorne
equalled or surpassed him. His Guilt
walton in letters was fine. His taste
was admirable. Like all men he had
favorftes whose gifts he might exag-
Eerate, and he had dislikes in letters
that caused him to underestimate the
mental endowments Of other writer's.
As an essayist he was full Of charm,
and as a poet, if not more richly gift
ed than Longfe1low and Bryant, he at
least was of greater vigor than either,
if we do not misjudge. In his villa
Tranca" there are some lines that i'm
