Presbyterians
What promises to be a very im¬
portant event in the religious world
is the 107th general assembly of
the Presbyterian church in Pitts¬
burg this"week. Apart from its
importance as a gathering of the
representatives of a church number¬
ing over 1,370,000 the present con¬
vention 16 expected ft) discuss sev¬
eral questions of vital interest, not
only to the Presbyterians but to all
allied protestant denominations. It
is suggestive that the place of meet-,
ing is to be the Third Presbyterian
church of Pittsburg, the very spot
wh^re in 1869 the two branches of
Abe northern Presbyterian Church
met and united afte^ a separation of
thirty-two years.
In the convention of this . week
the question of church unity is to
come up again, but on a broader
scale. The assembly will consider
the advisability of effecting a closer
relationship amoung the various
branches comprising all the re
/ formed churches of the Presbyterian
system. It is not unlikely, more¬
over, that the assembly may take
steps looking toward a nearer re¬
lationship with the protestant epis¬
copal church with a view to secur¬
ing the same mutual recognition
and reciprocity already existing be¬
tween the Presbyterian and other
protestant churches.
Whether or not the religious
bodies concerned are ready to make
the necessary concessions toward
this-end, the effort is typical of the
tendency at work in religious cir¬
cles therworld over. The.. Presby¬
terians taking up the question will
be keeping up with the van of the
broad movement which is making
for closer bonds between men of
all sects and creeds. The result of
their action on this point cannot
fail to be of importance apart from
the routine of proceedings which
promise to make an interesting
showing of the church’s work in
the past and the possibilities o{ its
future growth. i

up a bill to reduce sleeping-car
rates. The officials of the siee r

As several have spoken to me
about Dr. Jones’ “Trilby Re
flections” which were published in
the Atlanta Constitution two or
three weeks ago, I will quote for
the benefit of those who did see
it Florida A. C. Orr’s reply to Dr.
Jones, whose view I considered a
little narrow. See what the Ath
ens lady thinks “Verily Du Mau
rier laughs in his sleeve! The
heroine of his novel, Trilby, by
name, has been torn limb from
limb—her hair, her eyes, her teeth
have been discussed in assemblies
grave and gay. Her feet have
been made the subject oi learned
discourses and become the admira
tion of class of v
every persons pave
shoe merchants! Her character has
been declared an impossibility by
those who never met a similar young
person, and an intimate acquaint
ance with her is regarded as hurtful
to the morals of the young,
“I would like to discuss you.Tnl
by, with my lriend Dr. Jones but
he deems you an improper young
wo 1 ircn* and I cannot discuss an
improper subject with so grave
and learned a gentleman, But I
must say in passing, Trilby,
that you remind me of a beautiful
swan which has been swimming
since a duckling in green slimy
waters, and has spattered her pure
white feathers, but thinks not of
it, nor cares for it, until by chance,
she reaches pure waters, then she
sees herself reflected in something
she never dreamed of—pure mean
water and the dark spots distress
her. But she never swims in the
slimy pool again and by and by
the dingy * feathers are washed
white.
“Certainly no flaw can be picked
in the glorious ' friendship which
existed between Taffy, the Laird
and Little Billee. It was whole¬
some, unselfish, loyal and lasting,
and is one of the tenderest and
most lifApke picture* of friendship
ever delineated in a novel.

out of proportion jo the other char¬

and the influence it sheds on de¬
praved masculine natures has been
harped upon a long, long time.
And it is a great thing, a holy
thing. An ideal of womanly puri¬
ty is one of the mg^st beautiful and
exalted'ideas in the world. But it
is only ideal. It is an ideal of
manly purity, and it is the grand¬
est ideal of the two, because Jesus
Christ typified that ideal.
“Of course Little Billee is not
ideally peifeet. It remains .for no
human being to be that. But his
character is strong and pure. So
pure that Taffy and toe Liard re
frained from telling a vulgar joke
before him Y\° P ure that Dodor,
Svengali and the others regarded
him as a curiosity; so pure that
poor sinful Trilby looking into the
depths of his clean shining soul
saw herself to be what she was and
repeated h glorious : young manhood that
stretched forth the clean hand to
r ,inful woman for the uplifting of
ber, and not to thrust her deeper
into the mire, as men are ever prone
to do! f
“ Ca n any thing too good be
of an aut h or who portruys a charac
ler like tihit and gives it life and
fj es jj an( j blood and human passions,
godly purity?
“It may be that mothers should
not let their daughters read Trilby,
That is a question for the mothers
to decide. If they think Trilby
harmful, unquestionably their girls
should not be allowed to read it.
But fathers should insist upon their
sons reading it and studying
character o$J little Billee.
