that Lowell Wis the highest intellect of

It is a
upon us. $o Mr. -Whiltier's harp re
mained stringless until the slavery, in
the South aroused him to action and
gave expansion and inspiration to his
poetic indonment. We really rather
admire the jif ted Quaker, and excuse his
onslaught upon the! South instead
of attacking his own people and their
ancestors, 1 ecause he yas the disciple
of Garrison, and both teacher and pupil
were ignorant of the startling and dis
graceful facts that lay right at the door
of their own Commonwealth. If we
were here to relate what is known of
I African and Indian slavery in Massa
chusetts it would shock the sensibilities
of every sympathetic' and well regu
lated hearit. Mrs. Stowe could have
found some rarest material ' at home if
she had been disposed io paint, the past
of Massachusetts in true colors.
I Mra Rnhtirlfir Van Rensselaer, the
very fine arid able critic in architecture,
whose many essays we invariably read
as opportunity offers (see her capital
paper in the Century for December on
the old churches in Provence, that most
charming pirt of France) and we are
always charmed and instructed, had in
the New York World the other day
very depreciatory criticism on the illus
trations in 1 Trilby.' She make3avery
damaging comparison between them
and Abbey's exquisite and most artistic
illustrations of Shakespeare that have
been for a year or so appearing in Har-
per's Mayazine. She praises Du Mau-
rier's long time ago illustrations of the
great ! Thackeray's j "Henry Esmond,'
that most a?tistic of all his productions,
but not his greatest.' She says of the
'Trilby'' illustrations; ! I
"Of course, to somei eyes they may
all have an adequately, pleasingly illus
trative quality. This U3 a matter of
personal feeling of taste, not of judg
ment.! i It merely ' means that Du
Maurier's ideas with regard to beauty,
attractiveness and other! human charac
teristics differ from ours; and that,
therefore, wie inustj wish that he had
left his words to suggest to us mental
pictures of our own. j
But' when the purely artistic merits
of his drawing are in question, then the
iudgment of all. who have trained eyes
must be the same.! They are feeble
works! i of t ie decadent years of a
draughtsman who used tbdo much bet
ter things." j j

the Apostles, but of which the Apostles
never heard or had any hand in making.
The Doctor says: -
' The proportions of that faith have
been destroyed in most of the modern
systems of dogmatic theology, which
exaggerate one-third of its clauses and
depreciate or neglect them. This creed
is ChristologicaL It gave me great
pleasure, after I had completed my
work, to find that every one of. the
clauses of the Catholic creed is included

Testament"

that which goes jwith the belief that
verv word in the Bible is true. But HI
must be confessed that the ideas of the
Drummond scholars are gaining ground
Whether this will result for better or
for worse remains to ba seen." It is
because we see danger- in - some of the
things written by the very ingenious
and interesting Scotch author ' that we
have been led to criticise his utterances
and condemn his negative sort of relig
ion as well as his belief in the Darwinian
doctrine and he is practically an "Evo
lutionist." We admit and deplore that
a great many learhed and able divines
have taken up wijth so called scientific
teaching that we believe to be built on
sand and belong to cloudland, and that
others have for years been essaying to
demolish Christianity by destroying the
people's faith in God's Book, and that
is why as a lay writer on Christian topics

The celebrated and very gifted Bap
tist preacher in England, but Scotch
born, is not only a very gifted and
impressive preacher, but a writer and
commentator of very real power. He
has for some years been engaged upon
an 'Exposition of the Psalms," and has
just finished it, completing the study
in three volumes. He is credited with
marked exegetical ability and homilet
ical insight, and the work is praised by
writers who are capable of appreciating
it. It is an expository and not a critica
interpretation of the Psalms.
