APRoPos OF JONATHAN EDWARDS

I takes a large-sized man to pro-
duce much enthusiasm in the
/ breasts of other men after. he has
been dead a century and a half
Mention the name Jonathan Edwards
to the average man to-day and he will
either say, never heard of him. or
wasn't he that narrow stiff old Puri-
tan who used to gloat over the suf-
ferings Of the damned in help" In all
honesty you would be obliged to confess
that your friends notion OF Edwards
was partly correct. He did preach
one or two sermons picturing God as
an angry being suspending sinners
over a pit of torment, but he did not
exult and glory in that kind of doctrine
1t grew out of hard and fast sys-
tenn Of belief that left him no alterna-
tive but to declare what he thought
was to be the doom of the impenitent,
but such terrible portrayals of the
wrath Of God were not the staple of his
preaching at Northampton for twenty
three years and at Stockbridge for six
years. He usually dispensed a much
gentler gospel, and though we wonder
The San Francisco call., 1904-03-13

embodiment of pure and undefiled re-
ligion.. He was the saint par excel
lence of his time. He knew God at
first hand. He lived on the heights of
spiritual experience. And yet this vir-
tue was not an affair of purely celes-
tial origin. His diary shows how he
toiled and struggled to achieve right
eousness of life, how vigilantly he
watched himself, his tongue, his tenn
per. to avoid the slightest transgres-
sion. In his relation to others he was
scrupulous in the extreme to carry him
self as Christian and gentleman.
At the time that he was suffering most
from the estrangement and opposition
of his people he was a model of pa
thence, fcrbearance and charity. No
man ever worked harder to be good
and no man ever succeeded better.
We are glad that in due time Bush
nell and Beecher and Brooks and 9TH
er great liberal thinkers came along
to make good the deficiencies in Ed
wards theology. but we ought to be
glad and grateful, too, for the massive
and noble character Of Jonathan Ed
wards and the incentive and inspira-
ton that still flow forth from it.
THE PARSON.
The San Francisco call., 1904-03-13

how he could ever consign so great
portion of his fellow-men to endless
perdition and though we marvel that
such a mistaken view of the purpose OF
God in creation could have existed in
his mind alongside of the noble views
Of his Creator which he undoubtedly
cherished, we ought to remember him
not for these distorted ideas, but for
what he did for the religious life OF
America in his time and subsequently.
No one man sees all sides OF truth.
The disclosures of modern science had
not found their way into the mind of
Edwards He was subject to the infiu-
ences of the rigid Puritanism in the
midst of whis 4 he was reared Suffice
it, then, for US to take chief account
of the fact, that as minister OF one OF
the most important churches of New
England, as missionary to the Indians,
as president of Princeton, as author
of such famous treatises as an inquiry
into the freedom of the will and the
religious affections, he exerted a tre-
mendous influence upon his time, and
is still regarded even by those who re-
pudiate his theology with the highest
esteem and reverence.
His greatest service was his personal

up the log line and tried to heave the
metal fan with it's coil of thin cord,
but, strong of arm as he was, il went
not even one-third the distance. He
threw it down on the deck and turned
away.
Again came one OF those booming
rcllers. They saw the drowning man

excitement.

more the skipper tried to heave the log

BY this time he had freed himself OF
all his clothes. But except that he kept
himself up he was helpless; like a block
of wood he was whirled about and
tossed up and down-ground by the
waves as though they were indeed
chewing well before swallowing.
Then he suddenly disappeared. For
five minutes the men stood, still
clutching the rail. Instinctively they
bowed their heads, as men do in the
presence Of death.

There came a lull.N> Again the decks
were clear.

mate. get ford and turn in"
The watch just relieved moved with
difficulty down to leeward and pre-
pared to skurry ford to the forecastle,
there to snatch the few hours rest.
But before they could gain the shell
ter of the ford deckhouse the vessel
reared on its stern. They could not
climb that slanting deck. From ford
came that awful, growing row again.
The green wall swept on, shot up
alongside. ready to tOpple. An impul-
sive cry burst from the lips of all,
their danger forgotten in the sight be-
fore them. Almost over their heads
rose that glas~y. foam-streaked green
mountain. and on its very top lifted
the naked form of a man, his arms
outstretched, mouth agape, eyes star
ing. legs outspread. like some spirit
of the storm, wrapped in a smother of
froth and spray. They caught just
that one glinpse-then came the crash

Fortunately all had gained some
hold, and when the waters subsided
none was missing. In the punphoIe

But the odds were against him.

Lea alton Buildings Needed.

However little his trip abroad has
changed Mr.. Bryan, in some respects,
he has undoubtedly learned one thing,
which is something that all Americans
learn when they visit foreign lands.
He expresses himself as deeply i'm
pressed by the necessity for more and
better American legation buildings at
the capitals Of Europe. 1t is some
thing which every American traveller
for generations has dwelt upon when
he has returned home. For it has
taken such a trip to make them realize
the value, to this country and to citi-
Zens abroad, of adequate and respect
sentatives. There was once a time
when many Americans looked upon
our diplomatic corp as something more
ornamental than useful, Il relic of the
Old World monarchial style of govern
ment, which our republic really had
no need Of But that time has passed.
and every American citizen. VINO thinks
about this matter at all, realizes the
important work done by our govern
nent representatives abroad, and the
necessity OF housing these representa-
tivcs in u manner in keeping with GU.
standing as nation.
As matters now stand, only rich men
can afford to be American ambassadors
or ministers, and it is hardly to be ex-
pcctcd that we are always to be fortu-
nate enough to find the right kind of
men for these important positions, who
have private fortunes large enough to
enable them to represent our govern
ment as it should be represented.
With one or two unimportant ex-
ceptions our government owns no
legation buildings abroad. This is
condition of things of which the United
States should be ASHAMED. 1t is not Il
matter into which party politics should
enter. and it is an altogether wrong
conception of government economy to
save the relatively insignificant sum
which is needed to erect or buy u suit
able place at foreign capitals and
maintain our representatives therein
in Il manner befittinS American great
ness. We are behind practically all
countries of the world in this matter.
and the effect upon our standing
abroad can only be appreciated by

OF the chicttain whose shoulders hear the

OF an army's veal. of an Empires fate,

Of the CHEEKY lord of the bayonet.
OF the sabreur blind to unaccountable

IIurls a gibe in the teeth of Death?

Grand old player of uphill game.
Game which calls for a soldiers will,

Single handed facer of woes,
Deeper than buffcts by human foes;
Wager of ceaSeless, stubborn fight.

Coming Canals.

1t looks as though an er.l of canals
were about to dawn. OF course there
is the Isthmian canal which we are
hearing so much about these days, and
which seems certain to be IL reality of
the near future. and then there are also
Il series of canals which the State of
New York is about to construct at an
expense of many millions of dollars.
Eut these are not the only ones to be
built or improved during the present
century. 1t is probable that there will

Atlanta Constitution" A bill is now

Taliaferro of Florida, appropriating
$4,000 for Il preliminary survey of Il
feasible route for the canal across
Florida for the largest ocean steamers.
This is regarded by the Atlanta paper
as only secondary in Importance to the

a canal as the Florida one will save

the way of ocean and coastwise traffic
But the Southern States are not the
only ones to be benefited by the join

be called the Middle Atlantic States are
moving for a canal connecting the Del
