BIBLE IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA.
An Explanation of tho Fondnoss of English
' Statesman for Theology.
English statesmen are much given to
writing upon theology, in contrast with
American statesmen, who do little if any
literaiy work in that line.
This is probably due to the circum-
stance that the British statesman is
reared under a government in which the
feature, making theological dogma a
necessary division in his- economical
training, and the subject of his frequent ,
and practical consideration throughout ‘
his career as a statesman?
circumstance also arises the system of
religious and scriptural instruction
which has ever been so insistently main-
tained in the English schools of all
classes, and which must have played no
slight part in implanting that taste for
theological discussion so notably dis-
played by scholarly Englishmen. In the
English national or government pay
schools—at least such was the case some
ten years ago—it was not uncommon for
a lad of twelve to win a parchment upon
his graduation 'with honor from the
three years’ course of Scripture study.
The Bible lesson is also one of the daily
exercises in the public schools which,
although of a. later generation than the
more exclusive colleges, which taught
the young ideas of Disraeli and Mr.
Gladstone, yet reach a greater number
of possible future statesmen; and who
shall say what parliamentary and diplo-
matic laurels await the brows of many
among this present generation of youth—
ful students of Moses and Joshua and
David, of St. Paul and St. John the
Divine?
How different is the case with a youth
in this highly Christianized, but indiffer-
ently religious land of ours! The daily
chapter at family prayer, when pater-
familias holds the Book and the boy’s
thoughts wander where they will, or the
half dozen verses of the weekly Sabbath
school lesson comprise all of his Biblical
research until he arrives at the Bible
reading period, which comes to most
bright boys sooner or later. when with
highest commeiidations for his virtue and
piety, his mother presents him with a
Bible and suffers him to read it wherever
and however he please, which he usually
proceeds to do with the same eager,
though irreverent, appreciation he would
have for any other work as full of his-
torical and dramatic interest as is the
holy Book. And that is all. If in after
life he take up theological study it will
be for Christ's sake. upon the awakening
of religious impulse, whei'eafter he may
become a theologian, but rarely, if ever,
a statesman.

American Colleges Superior to Foreign.
There is far less noel fora. young

ledge to go to Germany or any other
foreign country to obtain it than there
were forty Or fifty years ago, or even
one generation ago.
Nearly every branch of learning is
now taught, in excellent manner, by
competent professors in our American
universities and colleges. We have
scholastic institutions of the, highest
character and we have renowned pro-
fessors. We do not need to look abroad
for them. No young American need to
go over the Atlantic for his scholar-

“Free" is the Catcliword.
The word “free" in the, silver ques-
tion is the drop of molasses that has at-
tracted a great many flies. Wipe that
word out and the swarm about the fly
trap would diminish rapidly and percep-
tibly. The word “free” has a mighty
power to charm. It is the embodiment
of the idea of getting something for
nothing. The idea has always been a
fatal one to people who have followed it
up. The hope and desire to get valua-
ble articles free are the life of lotteries
and gambling tables. Green goods men
play upon those weaknesses and find the
business very profitable. —— Savannah

A BELIEVER OF NOTE.
MRS. HENDRIEK_S——COMMUNICATES
WITH THE LATE VICE-PRESIDENT
It is Assorted That Her Earthly Posses-
sions Have Doubled Since Her Hus-
band Died. A, Girl of 1215 First toOb-
tain Messages From the Departed.
Those who are sceptical of spiritual
manifestations in Indianapolis knew
that Mrs. Hendricks, widow of Vice-
President Hendricks, and some leading
Democrats who believe in spiritual phe-
nomona professed to have received on
the slate of a medium messages from
the spirit land and signed by the Vice-
President. In certain circles of the
faithful there has been no little excite-
ment about it.
Many of the scepticrl have expressed
a. curiosity to know what opinion Mr.
Hendricks had expressed on the Cleve-
land Administration and the present
condition of the Democratic party.
Vice-President Thomas A. Hendricks
died Thanksgiving eve, 1885. He had
no time for the arrangement of his
earthly affairs or his political business.
He was in an upper chamber of his In-
dianapolis home preparing for dinner.
His wife heard a heavy fall on the floor
'above, and when she reached his si 19
found her husband dead with a peaceful
smile on his features. -_ J
HENDRICKS.
MRS. 1 3f"
Gradually it became known to a se-
lect and chosen few that Mrs. Hen-
dricks was receiving messages from her
departed husband—messages mainly on
topics concerning themselves alone, but
occasionally referring to the political
conditions and events most interesting
at the time.
Lottie Greenrod, as a girl of twelve
knew nothing of Mrs. Hendricks and
had no conception of the high place in
politics held by her departed husband.
Evidently her first slate writing must
have been of satisfactory tenor to Mrs.
Hendricks, for in ten years she has been
a. constant visitor to this same medium’s
house.
Under Mrs. Hendricks’s eyes the girl
medium has become a wife and mother,
with a black eyed baby boy, who sits
and crows while the parent holds the
slate and receives messages from the
spirit land. '
Recently a reporter who wanted a.
message from his spirit friends called
upon the medium. There was nothing
unusual about Mrs. Herbine's method.
The reporter was seated at a small ta-
ble with the medium and instructed to
write the names of dead friends or. a
slip of paper, with his own name be-
neath. This done, the slip was folds 1,
Mrs. Herbine taking obvious and extra
pains to prevent herself from seeing t‘ .e
list. It was put inside the book 51; re
which was held by Mrs. Herbine lllll er
the table.
MRS. HER-BIKE, THE MEDIUM.
_ “Keep your mind 011' the names,” she
, said. “Or if you are sceptical look un-
der the table to see that I am not doing
the writing.” Then, while waiting. for
the spirits to come, Mrs. Herbine talked
of the weather, of her baby boy who
was pushing his little toes against the
table and then of the celebrated people
who had sat at the same little table.
Many of the faithful in Indianapolis
declare that the successful business ven-
tures made by Mrs. Hendricks since her
husband’s death have been due to his
spiritual advice on the Herbine slate.
They claim that she has increased her
fortune only through the advices and
. prophetic instruction which could only
come from an all seeing soul in the spir-
it land.
Whatever may be the belief, it is a,
fact that Mrs. Hendricks has in ten
years doubled the property left by her'
' husband and meantime she has dispensed
in charity or in aid of relatives nearly
$70,000. ' -
Not only has she attended to her own
charities, but she has carried on her roll
of pensioners all the needy relatives and
impoverished political friends that her
husband was in the habit of aiding at
the time of his death. Vice-President
Hendricks was in his life charitable al-
[ most to a. fault. «
