if Bet ween these dates hes the record of a busy life. A life remarkable not only for its achievements, but for the greatâ€" ness of its aim, its notility and purity of character, and its strong and endurâ€" ing faith. Among the millions that crowd this earthly ball but few raise their heads above their fellows, and these few are not by any means the Kings and the titled rulers of nations. They are of the order of nature‘s noblemer, where surpassing intellect, untiring industry and high ideals blend to form what men call genins. A Shakespeare has towered above his fellows in poetry, a Newton in Science, a Wellington in war, a Knox in theolâ€" ogy, a Pitt and a Palmerston in states manship, but Gladstone, while sauperiaâ€" tively great as a statesman, occupies a high place in theology, in poetry, in authorship and in higher scholarship generally. But it is the broadness of his human | sympathies that makes his disappearâ€" ance of world wide interest. _ Appear ing in parliament before the abolition of human slnvery be deprecated the system though his father was a slavol owner in the W. indies. â€" In the forties he was found fighting for freedom of‘ trade by the repeal of the corn laws, & measure of transcendant importance toi the masses, and of incalculable benefit to Britain. We find him rhuu{)ioning the masses, Italhans, Greeks and lonians. He roused Europe to compel Turkey to stop her abominations in Bulgaria and he would have used the power of Britâ€" ain to do mere for the masses of all lands but for one great obstacle, which he set hbimself to removeâ€"the dis affection of Ireland. In his great historic speech introducâ€" infi his first Home Rule measure. April 8Sth 1888, he said "Oppression married to misery, has had a hideous progeny."

Britain may yet have a flrufigle, we hope not, where Ireland will, in Gladstone‘s words "block the way" and the wisdom of the House of Commons that passed the Home KRule Bill of 1804 by 34 majority yet he vindicated. Then will be remembered (Gladstone‘s very last utterance in the House of Commons, where he said "my duty terminates with calling the attention of this House tothe . . . profoundly acute question that must be settled at an early date," i. e. the jurisdiction of the House of Lords. Few then thought he had made his last public utterance in the House fhe had swayed so often, but it was a characteristic closing of a career whose work had been for the "Masses against the classes." It has been said that he touched eyery phase of national life except gambling and horseracing. Who can estimate the stiength to a nation of such a public character?2 â€" Every private and public virtue upheld, every moral _ cause strengthened, every wrong denounced. It is by men such as this that civilizaâ€" tion advances, and it is such men that will be remembered and honored when bthe racer and the gambler sink into oblivion. The moral fibre in the commonâ€" wealth of Britain has been greatly strengthened during the century by two lives: the crowned Queen, Victoria the good, and the uncrowned King, Gladstone, the "Grand Old Man." Speaking not very long ago and reâ€" ferring to iivorpooras his birthplace he said *‘ with Hawarden, if it pleases God, my last acquaintance with light and air is likely to take place." At Bourneâ€" mouth in March last when on his way home to die he made his last public utterance to the cheering crowds, "God bless you all, and this place and the land you love." To a friend referring to his great pain, he said "One more trial, one more lesson." A few ds,yl beâ€" fore he died the "Our father" was frequently on his lips. The last nighb of his life when loving hands soothed his fevered brow his gratitude respondâ€" ed kindly "how nice," and his last audible utterance was at the closeof a Ipr:yfl' by his son, when he whispered " Amen. " before he can be relieved. On the whole Spain is causing them more trouble thar they expected, and, but for Britain.
