NOVEL OF UNUSUAL INTEREST,"
1t is doubtful If, among all the books of
the. season, any will measure up to the
level of st. Cuthbert's,' by Robert e.
Knowles. young pastor and his wife
going from little church to a great,
strong, thoroly taught Scotch Presbyte
rian church; the development Of their
lives and work in the new field; the story
of the passing years, of the growing love
and trust on the part of both pastor and
people: the tragic case of Michael Blake
Janet Strachan, Angus Strachan and the
minister's daughter, Margaret; the light
at evening time" for Michael and Janet
and the clearing of the morning sky for
Angus and Margaret--all is Of the best
Perhaps in the whole book there is moth
ing finer than the winning back Of Dom
aid and Elsie McPhatter to their old place
in the church-and when, after Donald
decides to return, Elsie tells the minister
how it was, and why, Donald had gone
out from the church, what mighty depths
OF love and agony in a fathers heart are
disclosed! Then, Elsie's singing on the
first Sunday, and How Elsie won bye the
gate''-the story of her dying-the return
of Robin-the communion Of the holy
supper just before she enters into the
glory-it is all beautiful, ennobling, holy;
and 1T makes clear how the stalwart old
faith of the Presbyterian opens, for him
who can receive it, into the very heart of
God, and brings to the believer a JOY
words are too weak to express, with a
courage nothing on earth can daunt.
There is just one point at which adj
verse criticism might be launched, viz. -

The Average Man.

Tn view of the effort on the part OF
the liquor interest to secure mate
rial modification of the mayor s Sunday
closing order, it is particularly interest
inc to note the action Of the Trades
and Labor Assembly when this matter
was brought before that body on a re-
cent occasion. It. appears that while
a resolution opposing the Sunday clos
ing policy was brought up informally
among the members Of the assembly
the fact was soon developed that 1t
could not possibly pass, the full strength
which the proposition seemed likely to
muster being estimated at about 10
votes out of 1875. The advocates OF
the resolutions saw that it would be I'M
wise to present them and they never
came formally before the assembly.
The practical effect and the moral effect
of this action is that the assembly turned
down the proposition. That it turned 1t
down without giving it even formal
hearing is perhaps indicative OF even
greater disinclination to favor the Sun
dav saloon than if the matter had had
consideration in formal way. 1t ap'
pears that this is not the only time
when the wage Garner has taken
stand in support Of the mayors recent
order. There are said to be in his pos
session resolutions adopted by several
labor unions heartily indorsing his &C
ton with respect to the Sunday saloon
The incident is suggestive Of a fact
which a little observation and expert
ence will verify, that the average mar
is the man whose support Of moral re-
form can be the most certainly reliec
upon. Your "prominent citizen' is
more apt to be swerved from the line
approved by his judgment and his con
science by interests and consideration
| which do not affect the average man.

STUDY NEGRO SONGS
Quartet with Yale Clubs Gets Material
at First Hands.

Messrs. Bull, Andrews, Dustin and
MCGEE, whose singing of negro meIo-
dies will be one of the features of the
concert given by the Yale Glee, Man
dolin and Banjo clubs at the Audito-
rum the evening of Dec. 26, are great
favorites at New Haven and turnout
New England, where they often appear
at alumni banquets with their quaint
melodies of the southland. They are
also in great demand at the various
alumni banquets given the travelling
collcgians on the holiday tour.
This quartet of college singers spe-
cializes in negro melodies and takes
pride in keeping its repertory fresh
and new. For several months prior to
going on tour with the clubs, the young
gentlemen can be found prOwling around
the other side of New Haven On the
watch for colored musicians, transient
or local, and whenever a cOlored quar-
tet is captured, it is held in leash until
all the original songs in its possession
have been assimilated by the Bull-An-
drews-Dustin-M MCGEE partnership.
Every summer, too, the members OF
the quartet go into the south on the
lookout for negro songs which have
never been sung in the north, and, in
fact, they take as much pride in their
performance as if they were profess
sional singers. The result is many en-
cores every time their negro melodies
are heard on the Yale musical clubs
program.
The sale of seats for the concert at
the Auditorium will begin Thursday
morning at the Metropolitan Musisc
COMPANY office.
