tied to the other end of the ribbon. 1t

establishment of that kind to treat its
patrons, but one that was appropriate
and appreciated.

Even the most radical member of the

of Useless Giving at the holiday sea-
son could not object to receiving a
years subscription to The Courier at
this time, or arranging that from one to a
score of his or her friends should enjoy
the pleasure, The cost of each gift is
ridiculously small compared with the
pleasure conveyed by its fifty-two week
ly visits. The only fault we have to
find is that not more of our friends
thought about it.

sPHILLlPS BROOKS AND GERMAN
pREACHING."

When a certain pastor in Lugano
discovered for the first time, about
four years ago. the sermons OF Brooks.
he recognized to kinship with the Ger
man tradition and proceeded with con-
f1dence to arrange q translation OF
some selected sermons. The first vol
ume vas published in 1908. under the
title Elm Ruff in die Hche. and the i'm
mediate and extraordinary interest
Of a new series in 1911, under the
title Siegeskraft. Many OF the COM
mentS OF German t~heologianS and pas
tors on these two volumes are enter
tanning, both in their appreciation OF
Brooks and in the opinion prevailing
among them OF the character Of Amer
lean preaching. A pastor OF Basel
writes in a Swiss journal;
"The first impression which one re-
ceives in the reading Of Brooks is one
Of surprise. We expect from an Amer
lean something celebrating and SEN
~sational. after the pattern Of Henry
Ward Beecher, but We ind In BROOKS
a depth, thoroughness. and restraint
which are thoroughly German. His
sermons, or, as his translator more
fifty calls them, his addresses on reli-
gion. are no easy reading. n their
philosophical discernment and logical
DEVELOPMENT max severe demands on
the reader. They are addressed 10
Christians who think. yet they are
! thoroughly practical and issue into an
| earnest appeal to the will" e..
This recognition Of Phillips Brooks

| miration of those who have heard ana
loved him. His place GEMS to be fixed,

their day and cease to be, but among
those who arc not to be forgotten.
Changes in American conditions and
in ecclesiastical tendencies ma MAKE
his voice less heard in h street. Blu
that may be the fault Of the street
rather than Of the preacher. Ii not In

to that Of Samuel Butler in our own.

there is nothing necessary or venerable

little interest in big human problems.
And thirdly, ! admitted unhesitatingly
that such writers as William Ellery

promise Of doing far greater things
shan he has ever lone. And in all of
,hesc points Mr.. O'Sheel is in hearty
