Selections from tie Christian Neiilor,
The
Face?A History?An Index.
Every face a history! Not interesting,
perhaps, but yet telling its story.
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.

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.

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.

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. Coffin.

A Uuiytrsalist Compliment to Methodism.
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

An Enigma.
Once In a while, a little foolishness
Our most learned people appreciate.

Suppose you try an enigma,

And of course Is only a pigmy.
