DIR. HORACE BUSHNELL.

Sketch From pr. Munger's New Book He was a typical New Englander, | not self-made, but earning the means wherever he might submit himself to be made by Yale, the son of father with Arminian views, and of an Epis- | copalian mother, yet growing up in a Congregational church because there was no other; master of two trades, wool carding and clothe dressing, and l farming; essaying in three professions before he discovered his proper place. Entering Yale at 21 years of age, study ing hard, leading his class in athletics and founding the Beethoven Society he tried teaching school and declared that he would rather lay stone wall any time;" he served on the staff of
 the New York Journal of Commerce
 for ten months, and found 1t "a terri ble life;" he studied law for a year, in- tending to go West, possibly into poli- tical life, but accepted Yale tutorship, still working at law and then, sud
 denly penetrated by the spirit of one
 of those Yale revivals which make col
 lege life a mere waiting on miracles,
 he was converted and entered the thoo-
 logical school. Never was a conver-
 sion more unselfish never one less like a conversion as it Is fanced by
 those free-thinkers who assert that the
 Calvinist is a Christian through fear.
 He himself was happy in negative
 state, nursing arrant doubts," he said.
 but he could not bear the spectacle of
 his own students indifference, the re-
 suit of their loyalty to him. He let the doubts lie, saying: l am glad I
 have heart as we'll as a head. My heart wants the Father, my heart wants the Son, my heart wants the Holy Ghost-and one just as much as the other. My heart says the Bible has a Trinity for me, and I mean to hold by my heart. I am glad man can do it when there is no other moor- ing and so I answer my own question, What shal I do?"a
 With his pupils he left two rules that ought to govern every man: Be per fectly honest in forming all your opin- ions and principles of action" Never swerve in conduct from your honest convictions" He clinched this advice by saying: ''If between them both you go over Niagara, go"
