TRIBUTE FROM HILLS
Successor of Beecher and Abbott Eulogizes the Work of Pope
 Leo XIII.
By Newell Dwight Ellis.

By Newell Dwight Ellis. Successor of Henry Ward Beecher and Lyman Abbott as pastor of Plymouth
 church, Brooklyn.
 Among those men who are the glory of their time the world has already made a large place for Leo the Pontiff. "'t
 The first Leo Is known to the world as Leo the Great because he founded the Papacy. but the last Leo who conserved, purified and strengthened what the First had founded. will ultimately be known as Leo the Good.
 By reason of the majesty and beauty of his character he was revered by Prot estant and Catholic alike during his life. and now that he is dying the Protest ant world mourns for him as 1t has la mented no prelate since the death of Car dinal Newman. From every standpoint Leo appeals to the sense of universal ad- miration.
 He is the spiritual ruler of more than one hundred millions of men. and yet power never made him proud or arro- gant

his life has been simple music set to noble words. In the tone has been no dlscord The theme has been that of his Master; On earth Peace and to men Good WiH.
 When we reflect what would have been the measure and the meaning ot base ness or of bitterness or of selfishness or of overt iniquity in his case, our obliga- ton to his excellence, our deDt to ms goodness, as a world, as a race. can be suggested But 1t can only be suggested. We know that all faith was made better and stronger because he was man Of faith. We know that all prayer, whether by direct response or reflex action, was made finer and more calming and more qualifying, because he was man or prayer. We know that love and truth and gentleness and charity were exalted In and by the example which he set or blessing those who cursed him, Of for- giving those who injured him and Qf ,do- ing good unto them who despitefully used and persecuted him. It Is given unto all of us to follow him. as we can, in the things in which he followed Christ. But 1t was given unto him to follow his Mas ter on a plane level to the observation of the entire world, and with an effect of influence upon all of 1t.
 We speak not of his reign, that is for historians. We speak not of his policy, that Is for statesmen and theologians. We speak not of his Church. that Is for devo- tees to commend or for sectarians to

rend We speak for those who are large enough to recognize that religion is the greatest force in the world, and that its subdivisions are the great factors in that great force; for those who recognize that morally. spiritually and historically the Church of Rome Is among the greatest facts and factors in existence. and that the head of 1t is the supreme exponent of an unequaled human lordship of the con- science and of the heart. Speaking thus. from a height above all disputes of q polemical sort, We are glad to be able tp acknowledge the kingship of character which is the kingship of goodness in this man. and to believe that all non-Cathoi- icsm, as we'll as all Catholicism, will he a sincere mourner at his bier when the silver cord shall be ioosened and the golden bowl shall be broken, when tho. day shall break. when the shadows shall flee away. when he shall know as he is known and when the white flower of q blameless life and of pure purpose shall expand into the eternal fruitage of heavenly felicity in the songs and in the service of the sons Of light and of the Sun of Righteousness.
