THE WILMINGTON ; FJESSENGER, SUNDAY, APRIL 25, 1897. ' JACKSON & BELli COMPANY. SUNDAY. APRIL 25, 1B37. CRITICAL HOTCH-POTCH. We read frequently the productions of Frederick W. Robertson, th very gifted Church of England preacher, rho died et the early age of 37. What a man of radiant gifts; at once bo beau tiful in the structure of his mind, and do richly endowed with the gift of laying: things with such diamond-fortl- Hanev and exaulsite taste. His was In deed a most attractive personality, and his education was such as garehim omental furniture equal to all demands while his equipment of style furnished forth the riches of his rare intellectual mint. In similar words, he had a . style of admirable elegance and beau ty, and a mind of rare fertility and ex - nberance. What a rich treasury of ex- .pression and interpretation he has left for the enchantment and stimulation i of his readers! We never read even so much as . a page from him without pleasurable emotion and edification. He -elevates, for his jthoughts are tooth fluent and healthful. and although suspected and accused of heterodox views, he taught the great underlying doctrines so far as we know and held to a Christianity based on Christ, and that made men truthful and pure, unselfish and generous, consecra ted and self sacrificing, God adoring -and man loving. We repeat, we often turn to this marvellously endowed young preacher for good lessons, in spiring thoughts high ideas, beautiful Illustrations, exquisite charm of style and reflection. The other night we found him saying: "There are no writings which, at present, offer such interest to me as Ruskin's.. They give a truth to repose on which is real, whatever -else is unreal." Again he says: "I re joice that you have taken up Rusktn; only let me ask you to read .it very .slowly, 'to resolve not to finish more than a few pages each day." We were .gratified to see this because it was -written somewhere about 1850 or 1851, at which time we were getting our own first lessons in this great author were reading "The Seven lamps of Architecture," "The Stones of Venice and "Modern Painters." It bo hap pened that when . we turned .to the -aoove (we had read it before), we were vat that very time reading daily some of Ruskin's later productions. Of the .three works named, we may add, that In them may be found as splendid and wonderful descriptive passages as you can find out of De Quincey, and some of them even surpass that great rheto- sriMMi nd atvllsff in Jho nntp-nlflATw.e and felicities of diction, and in the : "beauty and perfection of description. The fact is that there have been but few writersof English comparable to V Ruskin. He is a master. His style af ter 1860, became less affluent, less splen did, but it never lost its wondrous grace, its perfection of finish, its ex quisite enchantment. It was even -purer, finer, less abounding in inge nious collocation of words, and rich -conceits of fancy. But, as Robertson r must have supposed, is was the thought vand not the garb altogether that drew 'him to the, splendid essayist. The body of thought in Ruskin is of great value .aside from any decorations of fancy and felicities of style. He is an in genious, fertile and wise thinker. The pleasure of language is ever present, T but the subtile and weighty thoughts, so much pure gold, give great valueand substance to his writings. We refer to lilm at this moment not to analyze his style or discuss his books or to offer - fresh incense of praise to a great an- - thor we have admired since early man hood, ana aooui wnuni we wihju; h - crude little essay more than forty-five years ago. Robertson loved and ap preciated him and bears witness to his . extreme worth finds no writings of - contemporaries of such interest to '.lilm, and even prefers him to the rell gious writers. Reader, are you familiar at all with any of Ruskin's essays? We do not refer to his earlier books we mentioned, but to his delightful books like his "Sesame and Lillies," or "The Crown of Wild Olive," or "The Ethics of Dust," and some others? If not, and you can bear writings other than nov els, and jean become interested in thoughtful books, let us urge you to read some of these if not all. Take ithe first named, "Sesame and lollies." It la a wise book, full of beauty, and so deftly wrought, so replete with lit erary excellence, it can hardly fail to engage, to entice you. If you are a .-woman, and have not read; "Of Queen's Gardens," 'by all means read it. If there is an essay of equal beauty ad dressed to women in our language, we have yet to read It. It is indeed "a gem 1 of purest ray serene." It is as good -and wise at it is rich in outward adorn ment. It is in our judgment pure, -sweet, beautiful, matchless. -T The essays of Professor Woodrow Wilson that we have read possess a decided interest. While he is" quite -successful in his excellent portrayal of .Washington, to which we have referred : several times with commendation, it is possibly in his literary discussions that he reaches his highest strain, of excel lence. He asserts his right to be heard ;'In the purer field of letters. -'Literature: :ls not his profession, his chosen arena. but constitutional law, politics and we 'may add hisToric study. It may be that we prefer 'the attractions, of lit- vital truths are ignored, unknown, un erary excursions rather than political ' asserted. It is a' sentimental, gushing .discussions and even biographical in- religion-with them that theorises about vesctlgation and description, . but we find in Professor, Wilson's essays a pleasure that comes nearer to our heart than his fine portraiture of the massive Washington or his discussions of con gressional government. He has y al ways clear insight, arid grasps well the subject in hand. He is a young man of very uncommon abilities. : He has mental power, culture, taste, insight. and has enough of Imagination to Idealize and illuminate. In other words he has faculties - In such amplitude, In such variety, in such : blending - as ; to give him unusual . success In .his ex cursions info history and pure letters. He has given two books that ought to be held in high estimation in the south, and very generally read by its culti vated men and women who are capable of reading and. enjoying - something stronger and more intellectual than current novels. We mean of course his ''Washington" and his ; volume; of es says "Mere Literature, Etc" Both of these have (been well received In the north, but we think better, of them than any critic whose opinion, we have seen. His "Washington" . Is finer liter ary .workmanship than it is regarded by the critics we have noticed. His essays are not as generally praised as their merits demand. So it strikes us. The , best criticism we have read ap peared in The New York Tribune some two or three months ago. The last paragraph of the critical .. paper we give: -: . "But does the author show that he himself can . illuminate . subjects a.nd employ , the arts for. which he. nleada ? No one will doubt it after reading the essays , on 'A . Literary . Politician' (Bagehot), 'The Interpreter of English Liberty (Burke), and "A Calander of Great Americans.' He explains -most interestingly Bagehot's traits and the sources of his , extraordinary influence and popularity. We have read much of Burke and still more about him. but this essay removes the, shadowy outlines and makes him thoroughly in telligible and admirable. . In thrice the space we have nowhere else found so many apt and brilliant characteriza tions of the great political leaders of the United States as are to be read in the paper entitled A Calendar of Great Americans. - Parts of the volume are not above criticism. Here and there the dash and the struggle for effect-becomes appar ent. An affected use of '-'tis' gener ally at the beginning of a sentence and a fondness for weaving strange or obsolete words into his most ambitious sentences mar the effect at times. Per haps some readers will synically sug gest that Dr. Wilson's preaching would be more effective after doing more practising. But those who welcome the truth whatever its source and those who like to come in contact with an.' ac tive mind will find instruction and companionship iri this volume." No small objection which young folks had to the old-time spring-medicines was their nauseousness. ; In our day this' objection is removed and Ayer's Sarsaparilla, the most powerful and popular of blood-purifiers, is as pleas ant to the palate as a cordial. jvr.iiiiWtS ISIiiTUttlALSTOR SUNDAY. v - Although Rev. John Watson talks as if he had but little to do with any trial instituted against him for heretical teaching, the theologians are aiming directly at him. . The English Lord Bishop of Derry and Rap hoe. Rev, Dr. G. A. Chadick, has published in The London Expositor a severe criticism in which he refers to a theological book by Dr. Watson as "superficially at tractive and deeply disappointing" and deteots in it "an unpleasant flavor of Renan, in his most sugary mood." Doubtless in Dr. 5 Watson's discourses there are many beauties, much pathos, for he is unexcelled in that gift, no lit tle to please the mind, to arouse atten tion, to excite to noble and generous deeds, but it is possibly deficient In basic truth. He suffers perhaps as the late Professor Henry Drummond suffered in eleminating redemption through the blood of Jesus the true salvation presented to a lost world through a crucified Redeemer and sub stituting a creed that a Brahmin might accept At any rate, one writer finds Watson's published confession of faith in some antique Oriental author. We notice, that the new editor of Current Literature copies a passage from Car- lyle's "Heroes and Hero Worship" to teach what real religion is. , And yet Carlyle did not believe in Christ as divine, or accept Him in any sense as his Saviour. V The great Scotsman was simply a Deist, without any knowledge of the Christian religion beyond an im perfect theory. With a modern nine teenth century school all religion is of the heart only. Be charitable, be liberal with gifts, talk beautifullv of the brotherhood of man, build hospit als and so on 'and that was fulfilling the law, true religion, God's will, and living for Heaven. Christ is left out of the count, and He Is all and in all. The benevolences, the activities for good, the liberal bequests, the service for suffer ing humanity, the asylums, the hospi tals," themanifold expressions of love j th- outputSi the fruits of the . Christ teaching and the Influence of the Holy Spirit. Infidelity, and the "isms" of the day' build none of these things. It is the power of Christ in the world where ever there is- a bleeding heart that is comforted, a rending sigh that is calm ed, a tearful eye that brightens. There is no such thing as a true science of re ligion with 1 the Christ omitted. The writings of able,scholarIy men in pub lic journals and newspapers show often that they have no practical, personal knowledge of Christ, and write of reli gion with the same insight and igno rance that Bob Ingersoll writes or. as would "any wise, learned Brahmin. The duty and. destiny, Hke .Carlyle wrote so finely., " Simple but good, are these two stan zas on "Longing and Listening." They teach: " - To stretch my hand and touch him, Though he be far away; To raise my eyes and see him Through darkness ; as through day; To lift my voice and call him This is to pray! ' To feel a hand extended By one who standeth near; To view the love, that shineth In 'eyes serene and clear ; To know that he is calling This Is to hear! I . Samuel T. Duffield, D.D. One of the very best religious biog raphies, ever written is Dean Stanley's Life of Thomas Arnold. With the ex ception of three biographies the best we know of Boswell's Johnson, Lock hart's Scott, and Trevelyans. Macaulay -we do not recall a better specimen of this ; kind of production than that on Dr. Arnold, of Rugby. It has not been Justly appraised or it would not be so much neglected. It Is large but of un flagging interest. . We are" reminded of this r excellent work a tribute of the student to the - teacher by a recent opinion of the gifted Canon v Farrar, of the Established church of England, to his personal friend, the Dean of Can terbury, V Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, .who passed away In 1881. We had been drawn to him first; through his work on the Greek church, and then by his noble biography of Arnold, the father of the poet and essayist, Matthew Ar nold. The Dean appeared to us as we often read of him. as a very gentle. sweet, lovable man, full of opinions, not apt to accept dogma without question. given to very liberal views that brought censure upon him, and with a great lov ing heart overflowing "with the milk of human kindness." Canon Farrar writes of him: "His was the purest, most childlike, -most beautiful spirit I have ever known. He was a perfect illustration of that definition of 'Genius' Which describes it as 'the heart of childhood taken up and matured in the powers of manhood.' " HOME FOLKS.

Dr. Kingsbury, in speaking of it, seemed to think that It was some supernatural phenomenon." There is error here. The person re ferred to neither saw the "phenome non" nor wrote of it. He will take leave to add, that he does not believe in the "Star" theory,, whatever else it may have been. The following reached us Friday: In this country we- think strange of customs prevailing in China, etc. , and call them heathenism.

Do not remember to have so much as heard of it until lately. Perhaps some reader knows its. origin. - .' The last Patron and Gleaner, Rich Square, contains the entire proceedings of the memorial services held in honor of the late Thomas R. Ransom, son of General M. W. Ransom, at Northamp ton court. The addresses were made by Mr. Willis Bagley, 'Mr. Thomas N. Hill, Mr. W. E. Dancel, Mr. W. - A. Dunn, Mr. J. S. Grant and Captain T. W. (Mason, and Messrs. R.B. Peebles, B. S. Gay, W. W. Peebles, F. R. Har-ris,- and C. G. Peebles also spoke of Mr. .Ransom as a neighbor, as a friend, and as a lawyer,, testifying to his high. character, ability, and . lofty purpose. Mr. Pulaski Cowper, of Raleigh, is writing a series of "Reminiscences of the People and JAnte ellum Events of Northampton County." He was born and reared in that section and had a large acquaintance among the leading men of that section. It is a needed and filial work to gather up the memorials of the past and put them in shape for present reading and future use. : Fif teen or twenty years ago, it may have been, the aged editor of the Elizabeth City Economist, did - some Interesting work of this kind for the men of his part of the Carolina. - W.-.
