wrong to say that some men We're born to
be great and that others have greatness
thrust upon them. for this is not so.
Paul lost his head for his greatness. 1t
was the price he had to pay for his useful
ness and greatness. Washington sacrificed
comfort and ease. Great men everywhere
have been called upon for sacrifice. A
great scientist once said 1 have no time
to get rich. He sacrificed the luxury aud
comforts OF wealth to become great. So,
too with the money making rich man. He
must sacrifice many OF the comforts which
the poor man is not called upon TO sacrl-
fee to make him great in his wealth.
Dr. Bristol said that there is more power
in love than there Is in anger or fear TO
inspire men to goodness. The dread OF
hell, he asserted, is not the best gate for
an entrance to heaven. Christ went from
home to home as a poor man to win the
people by love, aud to teach them useful
ness. which, the preacher asserted, Is
Christ-like. whether it is physical intel
lectual, or spiritual
Jesus Christ" said the pastor, died
for humanity and he taught US to give
ourselves TO the work of humanity, for thai

man is reaching down after some other
man and that Christ is reaching down
after him. We all want this power to lift
US up, and this very power sent to Christ
to lift YOU up was sent TO you TO lift some
one else up"

Read Darwin's life, said Bishop Bark
er. "and see the new hypothesis gradually
form in his mind, and then watch him
patientIy-oh, so patienuy-wo away at
its verifcation year after year, until his
contribution to the intellectual wealth of
the world has been applied to every de-
partment of life, and has given its dis
tinctive color to the work of every
student Of life. be it insect. animal or man.
I'VE are glad to follow in the train OF
such a princely leader, who stands out in
history as the type Of the thought of the
present day. He penetrated clear through
great masses of facts until he saw the
thread Of life, of power, Of law, that held
them together.
He translated this great thought into
the terse words OF his brilliant hypothesis
and then gave his life to its verifcation,
and left humanity richer far in his ex-
Z ample. IL may say SO, lndu IN MS IN
estimably valuable work
Reference was also made to Prof Sees

bodies and to G. H. Darwin's theory of
tidal friction Three kinds Of truth were
described mathematical, physical, and his
toricaI. and the claim was made that the
method of dealing with each group OF
[ truths is essentially different
/ Attention was called TO the continuous
i progressive development Of life and

the Christian hypothesis does account for

The reasons for Lieut.. Col. Barry's recall

between General Otis and himself.
Some time ago Colonel Barry, in a letter
