to make his speech, and it was with
the hope that what he had to say
would clear away this doubt that we
saw him gain permission to address
the judges.
1T was an ambitious effort-a great
effort in the main-no doubt of that.
But just when l was beginning to feel
that the tide was turning our way, I'M

and oratory, / was suddenly startled
to hear him declare that it is given to
some men to look through hole in

beyond BY this metaphor he meant
to suggest that the house of represen-
tatives, in bringing about the i'm

ing through the narrow vista of the
present into the future of the United
States, whose welfare was consequent
upon the disciplining of the president,

This is the story of one of the men,

night was clear, and myriads of stars
twinkled in the sky, but there was no

this unseamanlike answer he looked

He Believed They Should Take Active
Interest in the Life About Them
and Base Their Sermons
Thereon.

Phillips Brooks, who really was not
ambitious for the honor, and cared
very little for it, was appointed bishop
of Massachusetts in 1891, about two
years before his death. A year or so
before he became the head of a great
diocese, l had the pleasure of a long
chat with him, in the course of which
he outlined at some length his theory
of the proper sources for the sermons
of the preacher of today.
1.-The world Of today" said the great
pulpit orator, life as we see it around
us, mems activities, the aspirations OF
children, the conquests Of nature for
the benefit of mankind-all these
things. and all others like unto them,
furnish abundant inspiration and op-
portunity for the clergyman who
wishes to reach right down into the
hearts of those who hear him. In an
other time, possibly, effective preach
ing depended upon explaining the doc
trines, but that is not for this age.
After all, Christ furnished us the
best example of the manner in which

ken quick heed of the unfortunate and
peculiar metaphor and would undoubt-
eddy deal with it in his speech.
HE did, all right. With the most
solemn of faces and funereal OF voices
he poked all manner of fun at that
hole in the sky; / doubt II l ever
heard more wonderfully keen satire.
Poor Boutwell,! felt sorry for him.
He had made very able speech, but
there was that hole in it-and some
how, during the rest of the proceed
ings, could not help feeling that that
hole would lose us our case. When
the vote was taken, we did lose by
just one vote, as you know-and l
have always felt convinced that one
Republican senator whom we had
classed as doubtful, but who voted
not to sustain our charges, was per-
suaded to vote as he did by the bril-
liancy of the satire that Evarts
brought to bear upon Boutwell's hole
in the sky"
General Butler refrained from NAM
ing the senator he had in mind. But
later on, in the course Of his CONVEX
sation, was led to gather the impress
sion that he had in mind James w

nor of Iowa in 1854, and from 1858
until 1869, when he suffered stroke
of paralysis and resigned, served in
the United States senate.

George BoutweIls Unhappy Metaphor
Turned the, Tide In the Senate
and Prevented the Impeach-
ment Of the President.

In the late winter of 1877 l met
General Benjamin F. Butler of Massa-
chdsetts, at the rooms he retained per-
manently, year in and year out, at
the old Fifth Avenue hotel, in New
York City. He was on his way to
Washington to take his seat as a
member of congress. He was going
as an Independent.
He was in communicative mood
that afternoon, and / made bold to
bring up several famous incidents in
his career. At last we came to the
part he played in the Impeachment
proceedings brought against President
Johnson. The generals face took on
a wry look.
81 am as certain as that l am sitting
here that it was the hole in the sky
which saved President Johnson from
being ousted from Office" he said.

Boutwell, was so firmly convinced that

was in doubt. We house managers
knew that majority OF the senate
would vote to sustain our charges,
but we could not confidently count on
a two-thirds vote in our favor. That
was necessary If the charges were to
be sustained and President Johnson
thereby sent from his high Office in
disgrace. It was with this doubt
clearly before him that Boutwell, rose

How J. Pierpont Morgan Made His
Gifts to New York Trade Schools
and to Save the Hudson
River Palisades.

One of the largest beneiactions that
]. Pierpont Morgan (now being ex-
tensively exploited in the magazine
field) has made in lump sum was
the 100000 he gave to put the New
York Trade schools on a permanent
basis. / had the good fortune of first
announcing that this gift had been
made. How it came, to be made in
here told for the first time.
A committee of philanthropic WON
en- decided to see what they could dc
to secure a sufficient endowment for
the trade schools, and they determin-
ed upon the plan of personally urging
the cause of the schools to the city S
wealthiest men. To this end, they
made their initial call upon Mr.. Nor
gan.
He received them courteously and
listened patiently to what they had to
say. Then he inquired: "How much
do you think l ought to give?"
WELL" replied a member of the
committee, I'VE thought we would
leave that to your own judgment,
but" she added naively, 1--WE had $25,-
600 in mind"
For a few moments Mr.. Morgan
looked thoughtfully before him, seem
ingly debating whether he should take
the hint and give $4,000 or some
thing less Finally, he turned to the
member of the committee who had re-
piled to him, and addressed her in
short, sharp, business-like tone:
How much would be needed to en-
dow and equip the schools thoroug-
ly"
Give hundred thousand dollars"
said the committeewoman.

When George w. Perkins (not then
of the Morgan firm and only slightly
acquainted with his present chief
formed, with others, the association
that eventually attained its object of
saving the Palisades of the Hudson
from destruction, he called upon the
men who were blasting them away
and got them to agree to sell their
quarry rights to his association for
the sum of $4,000. He obtained an
option of three months on the proper
ty and then set out to raise the money
necessary to put an end to the de-
struction of the world-famous river
ramparts.
His first call was on Mr.. Morgan.
why don't you call upon Mr..
Rockefeller and few others, nam
ing them-"and see what they'll
give?' asked Mr.. Morgan. Then,
when you have done that you can
come to me again."
"Mr. Morgan" replied Mr. Perkins,
while / would not tor an instant ques-
tion your judgment in the matter, or
be unwilling to follow your advice,
still, it seems to me. that If you were
to lead the list of subscriptions
should have no difficulty in easily OBJ
tanning pledges from others, so that
before the option expires could pay
over the amount agreed upon to the
quarrymen and take title to the prop
erty in the name of our commission"
What is the whole amount you
need?" asked Mr.. Morgan.
"One hundred and thirty-five thou
sand dollars"
We'll, you can put me down for the
whole amount" said Mr. Morgan.

proacn his hearers and those whom he
wishes to influence. With the single
exception of the Sermon on the
Mount, which contains the fundam En-.
tai Christian philosophy-the precepts
upon which the Christian religion
was founded-Christ always took his
examples, his illustrations, his meta
phors, from the daily life with which
his hearers were familiar.
''He could take the most trivial fact
Of nature and with it emphasize His
truths. His allegories, or parallels, as
l now remember them, were all based
upon familiar things. The only occa,
sional references to the classics OF
that day which He made were to the
prophets and to the Jewish scriptures,
and with these all who heard Him

er of this, time is to bring them into
touch With familiar things. That
means, Of course, that the clergyman
should not hold himself aloof, but
should take an active interest in every
affair of life. He should go about
among the people and learn what they
are thinking about and what they are
doing. He should have an eye for ma.
ture; he should be affected by the

who must have looked upon that visit
as pastoral call of the best kind.
He was as fond as Thoreau was of
visiting the wharves of Boston: he
was many times seen watching the
coming in and sailing of ships and
listening to the none too discreet con-
versation of the stevedores and long
shoremen. Within less than quarter
of an hour after he had delivered a
wonderfully powerful Advent sermon
to 5000 business men gathered in
Trinity church, in New York, he went
arm in arm with a friend across the
street to one of the famous downtown
restaurants, and sat at a table for the
better part of an hour keenly observ-
ing the coming and going Of the great
throng which rushed into that place
for its noontime lunch. He was a
constant student of life and Of nature;
he applied this study in his sermons:
and It was because of this, undoubted-
ly, that he, perhaps more effectively
than any other preacher of his time,
touched the hearts and inspired the
consciences of his hearers.
