Our features come to us by inheritance, partly by physical relations, largely by mental conditions. It is said that among the Greeks mothers were sur-j rounded by the beautiful, were kept in J an atmosphere of the beautiful in art. Forms of beauty were on every side? here the eye rested on a noble countenance in marble, there on visible ideal of a high imagination. What wonder the Greeks as a nation were models of beauty. As one regards the countenances v.i.? in ouprv rtav life what of AUUUtUlUi ?u ww.j ^ history do they reveal. Those faces that show* beauty of feature and are the exponent of a beautiful (inherited) soul within are a delight to the eye and the heart. All is sweet accord between the soul and its outer manifestation. More of history is read in that face which shows conflict. Says John Bascom in his sEsthctics, "As men's career is or should be a prolonged resistance, a persistent toil, as crime and obstacles are to be surmounted, temptations to be overcome, and dangers to be met, nothing but will can take a firm stand or push a determined advance. So conscious is a man every moment of the need of strength, and, above all, of the strength which can say No to passion, that will is ever felt to be the very frame work of character, and we care not if it occasionally lie on the surface in massive ribbed strength. Symmetrical and stalwart virtue is too much to be often anticipated, and the feeble appearance of single graces, like the putting forth of early flowers amid frosts and snow, brings pleasure." Those faces then which show "massive ribbed sttength" are faces with a grand history, faces which bear the imprint of nobly won battles with v hidden evil, faces which may light up into highest beauty. These faces of ours tell such tales upon us. It may be an imperial counte nance but for a sardonic moutn, or loose hung lips, a turn of the eyesome breech in the outward bravery which gives the treasonous key to the citadel within. The trail of the serpent is over it all, is the thought which comes like a blighting wind upon the heart. But even while we consider the work marred by sin comes the glorious hope? the hope given by Christianity alonethere is a remedy?there is a bloom of beauty given by God?He restores us to our lost estate, to His image. Christ which strengtheneth us fights for us? He overcomes for us. Not the least klettsed thought which comes of this hope is the belief that we shall live forever hereafter in a world of beauty. Poor thwarted, dulled, impqtent lives ours seem sometimes. Aspirations after the beautiful unratified, appreciation of it stunned almost by long-continued offences against it, efforts to produce ft falling to the ground by reason of unskilled fingers?everywhere a baffling of the endeavors after beauty. Like a soul thirsting for water in the desert is the demand for the l>eautiful?the craving for gratification is imperious?it will not down at the bidding of reason, nor is it quieted by logic. Nature opens wide her loving arms and lavishly spreads fortii her treasures. Tkutii. i o i Rev. Dr. J. M. Leavett, forty years a minister of the Protestant Episcopal Church and editor of the Church Review has left that communion and gone to the Reformed Episcopal Church. Here are a few sentences from his letter of resignation: I believe the Anglican communion to be a mixture of political compromises and irreconcilable contradictions. In the old Prayer Book a clergyman is called a minister. now a minister is called a priest. Tra. dition has come to over-balance Scripture. It may be thought a small matter, but ritualism roots itself in the word priest. I renounce it forever; no mao shall ever give me that title again. Again, the doctrine of apostolic succession lay on me like an iceberg. This doctrine and priestly prerogative go together. It is to me abhorrent that 1 should acknowledge as a Protestant minister a man who wears a scapular to protect him from lust and purgatory. Ritualism is stifling Protestantism in the Anglican Church. The Bishops of the Episcopal Church now treat as servants, not as equals, other Protestant ministers. They will sit on f the same platform with the e ministers, but they will not admit them to Episcopal altars. Iu this city you can coufess to an Episcopalian minister, you can be absolved by an Episcopal minister, and you can have prayers said for the repose of the dead, if not actually have the dead prayed to by an Episcopal minister. Do you won dertbat people who like this sort of thing in time get to prefer the coin to the counterfeit and go into the Roman Catholic Church? I thank God that I am going in the opposite direction. AH in a Lino. Solomon (Ecc. ix:4) says, "a living tlog is better than a dead lion." He doubtless meant a common dog?one with four legs?not a creature with two legs that disgraces the entire race of common dogs by acting the part of a brute that has lost the simple instincts of the genus dog and is correspondingly possessed of a devil instead. So it Beems that Charleston has a kennel or two in some back yard from which emerged, the other day, two brutes of the Sullivan-Kilrain breed and, followed by "a great many of the young men who belong to the most respectable families in Charleston," ! (?) went to a neighboring island and there pounded each other to a sickening disgust of the young respectables who - & went along to see the "sport/' ('liar-! ] leston it seems is able to r:ti?e her pecil- j liar brutes without depending on lios-j ton. Brutal bloody, disgusting, and dia-j bolical as is the "prize-fight" it is in aj natural and straight line with lying, dueling, war and hell. . _ . * ?u?? A Plea for Railway Employees. From The Mesxcnycr of Peace. "The Sabbath was made for yian," so said He who spake as never man! spake. The Sabbath would not he! needed only as man's good required it. Hence if no man there would be no Sabbath. Let us first then endeavor to (stay this great loss of life and limb to railroad men and then secure to iuc.sc saved men the Sabbath. Note these startling facts. In the Railroad Gazette, published in New York, issue of April 26 last, is found this statement: "A calculation based upon accident returns in the reports of (State commissioners indicates that every year some 2,700 able-bodied men are killed, and over 20,000 injured in the dischargeof their duties as employes of the railroads of this country." The statement stands unrefuted. This, of course, includes deaths and injuries from all kinds of railroad accidents. My special purpose at this time is to call attention to only two causes, or kinds of accidents, resulting in death and injury to train men, those that come from coupling and uncoupling cars, and from the continued use of the old hand brake on freight cars. What part of this great number of 2,700 killed and 20,000 injured yearly comes from these two causes alone in the nation at large, I am not able at this writing to say, but I can funish reliable statistics as to this matter as far as the State of Iowa is concerned. (It may be proper to say here that the writer was one of the railroad commissioners of this State for nearly five years.) Our commissioner law has been in force for ten years. This law requires railroad companies to report all casu miles unu men mnu iu iuc uuuiu. m these ten years there have been killed aud injured in this State by the link and pin coupling and hand brake alone, 2,426 strong, able-bodied men, and the great majority of them young men. When these reports from the railroads commenced we had about 4,00q miles of road; we now have a little over 8,000. The report of the commissioners for 1888 shows 352 killed and injured by these two causes alone in this State last year. I shall carry every honest-thinking reader with me when I ask them if they ever now see brakemen on top of passenger cars bundling the breakes ? Cr how often do they hear or read of a brakeman being killed in coupling passenger cars? Why is this? Simply because these cars are equipped with safety or mechanical couplers and with power brakes which latter are controlled by the engineer in his cab. It is now nroven beyond all shadow of doubt that automatic couplers and power brakes are as practically applicable to freight as to passenger cars, and would prove to be an actual saving and economy in operating a railroad, for without considering the delays, expenses and damages arising from continual wrecks, the sum of money paid out annually by the railroads to partially alleviate tlicsufFeringof these injured men and their families is greater than the cost of the safety appliances. It is with the public to say whether this shall be done or not. ?So common is this killing of brakeuaen the public have come to think it an inseparable part of railroad transportation. Must these poor fellows by the thousand yearly be sacrificed ou the altar of the nQnnfi'nuunDOQ Awnnca.nf roilr/tnil property ? It is almost beyond belief that the public has sat still and allowed this terrible price to be paid year after year aud made no protest. The time foxany excuse is now past. Time was when an engine without a "driver brake" on could be called finished and put to work 011 the road?an almost unmanageable thing?not so now. Time was when freight cars without automatic couplers and power brakes could be called finished and be put to service, with all their death-dealing appliances?not so now. The great humane and Christian public, when once aroused by a knowledge of these terrible facts which disgrace our railroad age, will not longer sit still and allow cars to be built fourfifths wood and iron and the other fifth the mangled llesh aud broken bones of these train men engaged in railroad service. There is not a railroad director in America that would for all the railroads in the natiou do duty as a brakeman one single night 011 the top of these trains. Why! It will be looked back Upon as oueof the most inhuman things of this civilization, to compel a human being to the exposure as is done every day aud every night in ten thousand cases, ou the top of these fast mov ing, swaying trams at all Hours ot Hitnight in storms of snow and driving sleet and ice, to go from one end of the train to the other over slippery decks to set up the brakes. We have a society to prevent cruelty to dumb animals, but here is a refund cruelty practiced on 10U,00() brakenicn in this nation every day, and no one opens hia mouth in protest. In the name of the Christian humanity of this nineteenth century, 1 bring the claims of these men before the public and ask for them what we would ask for ourselves were our case theirs. L. S.

The Universale Itcaord, published _ in Newark, N. J., has an editorial on; J New York's $8,00<>,000 cathedral which'( contains tliis reference to Methodism :!, We have no representative Church * in this country; or, if we have, it is not the Episcopal Church. More than any other that Church "hath a foreign air." J t is one of the smaller of the leading sects. It is essentially a Church of the cities, and largely of the eastern cities. Its cords of smypathy stretch backward, across the ocean, to the land of its birth. More nearly than any other, the Methodist Church is representative of nineteenth-century American religion. Not only by its moral earnestness, by its democratic spirit and its aggressiveness, by its directness and business-like methods and its good humor, but even in its doctrinal failures at logic, its theological patchwork, it is representative of this energetic time of transition, this hur ryingageor iaci anu cuange. uiivm* ism belongs to the past. Universalism belongs to the future. Methodism is of the present, and has the right, if any Church has, to erect the building which shall introduce the religion of the nineteenth century to the student of the twenty-ninth. The Methodists, however, would not build an $8,000,000 church, if tliey liad $100,000,000 to spare. They would erect thousands of chapels all over the world. They are intent upon winning the world to Christ, not with superb architecture, but with moral couviction and conviction of sin. They are not concerned to startle the future with a display of fine art, for which religion shall be taken as the excuse. They are quite content with liouse3 of worship which shall be comfortable, not olfensive to taste, roomy, in which a multitude can hear the preacher and find their way to the mourner's bench. They are a be- r nevolent folk, who spread their hands abroad, and would feel that any such [ centralization of power were a sad mis- n representation of their own spirit and J purpose. l Methodism puts forth no claims to be the only Church in America, or the only "Americau Church." As to our mission and spirit, the Universalist editor has described us as we ought to be. 0 God grant that we may conform more and more unto the ideal! And if'our Universalist friends will imitate what they have so well described, we will not ask them to become Methodist, but c will hail them as co-laborers in the J salvation of the world, which can be saved only "by moral conviction and j conviction of sin." Methodists can- * not accept the motto placed by the ] Universalist Record under its title, "One God. One Destiny." The first t oart we accept; the second contradicts - the first. The creed of Methodism from the beginning has been this: One God and two destinies: one a glorious destiny, depending upon faith and obedience to Gol>?- another a dreadful destiny, tbe result of voluntary unbelief and sin.?New York Christian Advocate.
