He Wrote Twenty-Eight "Tracts For the Times" When Church Life Was Low in England--His Hymn "Lead, Kindly Light" Ranks High in Hymnelogy. Canon Duncan. As is well known, John Henry Newman was once a distinguished clergyman of the Church of Eng became a fellow of Oriel, and afterwards tutor, Newman told that he was "consciously converted" at the age of sixteen. At the beginning of his ministry he was an evangelist, but soon came under the spell of the High Church party--Keble, Pusey, and others--and as time went on he became its master and leader. For fifteen years (1828-43) he was vicar of St. Mary's, Oxford, where his character and preaching attracted much at- tention and exerted great influence. W. E Gladstone, who was at Oxford as an under: graduate, has thus described Newman as a preacher: "He was much respected for his character and known ability. In the pulpit there was not much change in the inflection of the voice; action there was none. His sermons were read, and his' eyes were always bent on his book, and all that, you will say, is against efficiency in preaching. Yes, but you must take the man as a whole; there was a stamp and a seal upon him; there was a solemn sweetness and music in the totie; there was a conipleteness in the figure, which made his delivery singularly attractive. Church life in England was at that time low, and Newman started the "Tracts for the Times," and of the ninety published he wrote twenty-eight. They created great excitement, which Bloomfield, Bishop of London, describ- ed as "Newmania." The last of them, the famous Tract XC. was written by Newman, to explain the Articles of Religion so as to make them appear in harmony with the tenets of Rome, and thus €nable those bound by the Art'cles to teack doctrines they were meant to condemn. This raised such a storm against him that, after a painful period of hesitation, and having formally recanted all that he had ever said against Rome, he applied to be re- ceived into that church, and laid his judgment prostrate at Rome's feet, Newman's Seces- sion was a great grief to his friends, especially to Keble, and it also created much bitterness and strife, although when he died at the Edgbaston Oratory, Birmingham, in 1890, his genius and sincerity were everywhere ae- knowledged. Did he find peace and satisfac- his own judgment? Many think not. But ** us hope that the "Kindly Light," which he so pathetically invoked, ultimmtely led him into God's perfect day. For his sermons, 1 while vicar of St. Mary's, and for the hymns, "Praise to the Holiest in the Height" and "Lead, Kindly Light," he will ever be grate- fully remembered. * This Jatter hymn was written in 1833, twelve years before he left the Church, but it pro- bably marks the beginning of his gravitation drawn forth by Kingsléy's attack upon his the ship was becalmed in the Straits of Boni- facio. Away from home and friends, per- plexed at the state of the church he still loved, doubts seething in his mind, sick in heart as well as in body, uncertain as to the future, yet feeling that he had a "mission, a work to do in England," though not knowing what the work was, or whither it would lead, he breath- ed forth the impassioned and pathetic prayer contained in "Lead, Kindly Light" Thus the hymn is intensely personal, and was not meant to be sung as congregational. This caused the compilers of Hymns Ancient and Modern to hesitate about admitting it into that book. Newman was afterwards astonished at its popularity, and he attributed this to the tune. Indeed, it lay enshrinedsin the British Magazine and Lyra Aponolia till Dykes wrote his tutie for it, and thu brought it into notice. Yet Julian speaks o it as "one of the finest lyrics of the nineteentl century"; another authority as "the most dig nified hymn in our language"; while 'it has the rare distinction of being loved and sung by all Christians, by many who do not accept the leading of any church or creed, by Agnos- tics, Spiritualists, sceptics, and even by tramps! Possibly the perplexing circumstanc- it popular among such a varied class. When Newman was a very old man be was asked by letter what he meant by "those angel faces, loved long since and lost awhile" The Cardinal answered, rather lightly, that he was "not bound to remember his own meaning, may remember that after his "conscidus con- Symptoms are Among the | Thi £38 i Ai = = tion by seceding to Rome and by sacrificing i jrs| wife joins St. Patrick's, Dublin has the first place am:ng Irish cathedrals, dating in that exalted capacity from the beginning of the thirteenth century. It occupies the site of a very early parish church, which John de Cdmyn, first English Archbishop of Dublin, dedicated 1191 His successor, Henry of London, made it a cathedral, adding to the building. In 1362 part of the cathedral was burnt and was ree stored by Archbishop Thomas Minot ten years later, when was. added the northwest tower, As late as 1705 the octagonal granite tower was added. v The cathedral has not always had the un- broken calm of holy service.

St. Anthony, in northern Newfoundland, is Dr. Grenfell's home and headquarters of his mission, and this summer it has been a truly lively settlement. With the especial aim that her brother, who is the mission surgeon, should have a bétter equipment to work with, a Boston lady raised $10,000 to enlarge the hospital. A college student, who went up last summer, offered one-half the money necessary to double the size of the orphanage and Dr. Grenfell promptly raised the other half, and is erecting a modern schoolhouse. Dr. Grenfell is building a house for his own ase. A well-equipped machinery building is also under construction and sev- eral small structures have gone up, so that the little settlement has been materially en- larged.

That shows the popularity .of the orphanage. Soon forty children can have the advantage of some work, of good, plain food, and of sleeping with windows open in midwinter, and where it is cold, too. That sounds radical, but those who see the or- phans who have lived that way believe in more fresh air, In Newfoundland the system still prevails of having each religious de- nomination run its own schools, on separate grants from the govermment. Dr. Grenfell, by building a good schoolhouse, has persuad- ed the two denominations there to join forces with the mission for seven years, so peace and progress in school matters is hoped for. Where good markets are many hundreds of miles away, and where communication ceases for five months of the year, it is necessary to lay in large supplies; The staff have to repair their own electrié plant and do thelr own plumbing whew the pipes burst. These conditions account for the great number of stores and for the large machinery building soon to be completed; though the latter is to manufacture doors, window sashes, ete. for the local market. Half a mile of track is laid to the peat bog, where a good quan- tity of fuel is in abundance. About four miles es referred to have had much to do in making south of St. Anthony is. the reindeer camp. Two years ago Dr. Grenfell imported 300 reindeer from Norway, with Lapp families for herders; 250 deer were for the mission. To-day there are 565 deer, and, on the word of the Lapps, the young born in Newfound- land are finer and larger than they would ; linos have been at home in Norway. The ox deer Whatevst asa the sd of Ns oo last winter hauled firewood at times when the dog teams were useless, and the deer worked six days a week, and always made their own paths through the snow. The deer is an assured success for Newfoundland and Labrador. + : . This is still a mission, wholly the result of Dr. Grénfell's perseverance, energy and faith. And he lives very near the life that a Christian ought to live. He believes in re- storing the sight of thd\blind and making the lame walk, if hard work and any skill or self denial will accomplish that end. And he preaches besides. All the material advan- tages are merely to commend his gospel to the people of this cold coast. Dr. Grenfell models his mission as he believes the Christ would model it were He here to-day. Illusions Respecting the Hindu Widow. Sarath Kumar Ghosh, Indian author, lec- tured interestingly on the position of the Hinde woman in London.

It was suppressed and the revenues surrendered, 1540-47, and reconstijuted by Philip and Mary, 1554; then desecrated by the Cromwellians, 1651. It was distinguished by the energetic and brilliant deanship of Jona- than Swift, 1713-45, but its greatest glory was the munificerit restoration by Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness, at a cost of $700,000, completed in 1865. + In 1872 it was adopted by the Synod of the newly disestablished Church of Ireland as the national cathedral, having a common relation to all Irish dioceses, with stalls for the two archbishops and the bishops. than in England. The Indian, it is true, is legally allowed to take a second wife should his first marriage prove childless, but it is most tare to hear of an Indian availing him- self of this privilege. When the Princess of Wales visited India, she was regarded with the greatest veneration, mot merely for her charm of manner or the fact that one day she would be Empress of India, but for the fact that she had five sons. Death was not forced on any widow. They were free to choose for themselves. If they did not feel called upon to make the sacrifice of suttee they were always at liberty to re- fuse. . However, should they desire to sacri- fice themselves, the act brought them a crown of martyrdom, earning for themselves the title of "Devi" ' It was an error to think they were burnt dlive. A cup of poison was drunk, and crematioh followed. Couitviuors. Buying. of Bibles: The first Bible printed in Scotland was is- sued in 1579. By act of Parliament, every gentleman, householder and others "worth thrie hundrth merkis of yeirlie rent or abone," and every yeoman and burgess with £500, had to provide, under a penalty of £10, "a Bible and psalme buke in vulgare language in their houssis for the better instruction of thame selffis and thair famellijs in the knowl edge of God." To see that the provisions of the act were carried into effect, the following year a searcher was appointed with power to visit the houses of those signified by the act "and to require the sicht of thair Psalme Buikis and Bybillis." In a footnote it is add- ed: "The Privy Council had in 1575 com- manded and charged 'the principallis and Heidismen of euery parochin alsweill to Burgh as Landwart' to contribute and collect £5 for the purchase ~% « Bible to be placed in every parish kirk."

Professor Drews, of Karlscuhe, Germany, said to be of great learning, recently to & public audience and later before an assembly of theologians, delivered extended arguments to prove that mo such person as Jesus Christ ever existed. He pronounced the whole re: cord of the life, ministry and death of Jesus on earth a myth. He rejected the testimony of Christian writers as prejudiced and unworthy of credénce, and wholly ignored the evidence of such secular writers as Tacitus,> Pliny, Lucian, Suetonius and Eusebius. He ex- cluded the Gospels, although their historical accuracy is established and accepted through- out the world. © He seems to have directed his main attack against the much-discussed passages in the works of Josephus, the emin- ent Jewish historian, which refer to Christ. Those passages have frequently been assailed by anti-Christian writers, none of- whom, however, have succeeded in disproving them. For a man of learning, Professor Drews did a singular thing. While apparently ex- hausting the field of anti-Christian research, he overlooked one source from which he ought to have sought information--the Tal mud. Every notable Jewish scholar knows that the Talmud, from the first century up to 1631 A.D, did contain a record of the accusa- tion, arrest, trial and conviction «of Jesus, written, of course, from the Jewish stand- point. Owing to the bitter persecution of the Jews in Europe, a Jewish World Synod, held at Jaroslav, Poland, in 1631, ordained by forma! proclamation that in every copy of the Talmud thereafter all reference to Jesus Christ, and everything relating to his life and death, should be omitted, and that the sign of a circle should stand instead of such re- ferences, which would be understood by the initiated. It was explained in the proclama- tion that this action was taken because the references to Jesus Christ in the Talmud had provoked Jewish persecution, and that their removal would leave the people to the enjoy- ment of peace. There are copies of 'the ancient Talmud still in existefice, containing all of the prohibited record. These. facts have been known to great Bible scholars: Lightfoot, Lardner, Munschen, Foffer and others. They went down to the very moots of the matter; they did not halt at Josephus. They went to the Talmud, where they found the most direct and convincing testimony of the life of Christ, from the anti-Christian standpoint--testimony that could not be gain- said. If there were no other written or print- ed line in the whole world, and never had been any other, this Jewish account alone would suffice to establish the fact that Jesus lived and suffered and died. Even to-day there is no well-read Jew who denies that Jesus lived. Only a few weeks ago several leading American rabbis declared in public addresses that the Jews regarded him as a grezt Jewish prophet and teacher, though not divine. They knew the meaning of the circle in the Talmud. Moses Maimonides, the great Jewish reformer, who was called "the glory of Israel," and who lived in the twelfth cen- tury, in his writings on the Talmud Torah recognized Jesus of Nazareth as a great prophet, "who prepared. the way for the Gen- tiles to enter into the kingdom of heaven." -IN OLDEN TIMES.
