GOLDEN GATE
We are now within sight of this famous en
trance from the Pacific to the capacious bay of
San Francisco. Our voyage terminates, and we,
who have been thus long and compactly together,
after forming such hasty, yet intimate acquaint
ance, are about to sever and scatter through the
land of golden dreams, crushed hopes and sad
dened hearts,—few of us likely again to cross
each other's pathway in life, or meet again until
the last gathering and final adjustment. Such is
life, with .its real yet constantly dissolving views.
The voyage has been to me one of uninter
rupted newness and enjoyment. When safe
within the promised goal, the region of wondrous
story, sight and incident, and fairly at my pro
posed Mission work, you, dear . Doctor, your read
ers and myself, will again commune.

Rev. John Levington's treatise on SCRIPTURE
BAPTISM. has reached a Fourth Edition. It is
vigorous in style, popular in tone, gives the corn
mon-sense views of the subject in a telling way,
and is altogether one of the most readable of con
troversial books. It covers the whole ground,
both the Mode and Subjects , of Baptism, and
contains an appendix, in which' it Michigan op
ponent is handled tinsparingly. All is'included
in 242 pages, 12uto. For sale at the Methodist
Book Store.
The same author has also issued, at the same
place, a volume entitled POWER WITH GOD AND
WITH MEN, designed to show the sources of
Christian power—how it is obtained, retained,
increased, lost, regained.• • The illustrations are
drawn from the. early Christian Church, and
from the great religious, movements of the six
teenth and eighteenth centuries. The style is
fresh and popular, but the volume lacks unity.
COUSIN PAUL is a work of Fiction, by '"'Jes

THE ATLANTIC for July is, for the most part,
a disappointment. "The Dole of Jarl Thorkell,"
poety, is among the few attractions of the num
ber. During a famine in the North, the bloody
Scandinavian deities, unsatisfied with ordinary
sacrifices, are represented as requiring human
blood:
The Aesir thirst and hunger
And hence our blight and ban;
The mouths of the strong gods water
For the flesh and blood of man.
Amid the dread anticipations caused by this
announcement, the song of "the Dream-wife of
Thingvalla" is heard proclaiming an utterly dif
ferent doctrine :
"No wrong by wrong is righted."
"The gods are what you make them."
"Make dole of skyr and black bread
That old and young may live;
And look to Frey for favor,
When first like Frey you give."
•
Jan Thorkell takes sides with the singer. He
says
"Too dear the Aesir's favors
Bought with our ohildren's lives;
Better die than shame in living
Our mothers and our wives.
og The full shall give his portion
To him who bath most need ;
Of curdled skyr and black bread
Be daily dole decreed."
He broke off from his neck chain
Three links a beaten gold;
And each man at his bidding
Brought gifts for young and old
Then mothers nursed their children,
And daughters fed their sires,
And Health eat down with Plenty,
Before the next Yule-fires.
The Horg Stones stand in Rydkal,
The Doom-ring still remains,
But the snows or a thousand winters
Have washed away their stains.
Christ ruleth now ; the Aesir
Have found their twilight dim ;
And wiser than she dreamed of old,
The Vala sung of Him!
" The Great Erie Embroglio" is an explana
tion, as full as could be given within the limits of
a magazine article, of one of the greatest contests
fur supremacy in railroad interests that has ever
been known—that between Commodore Vander
bilt of the Harlem and N. Y. Central road, and
Daniel Drew of the Erie. It is worthy of the
study of all who would, gain an insight into the
great financial transactions of the age and of
New York City.
HOURS AT FlomE for July, opens with the
address of Horace Bushnell before the Theologi
cal School of Chicago: "Training for the Pulpit

living, personal interest in the relation of preach
er and people, the causes of its absence, and the
means of securing it are treated with the usual
acuteness, originality and eloquence of the speak
er. The causes of the defect, are such as; defi

development: sycophancy, jealousy, sensuality,
vanity, ill-temper, obstinacy, want , of truth and

before us; by active efforts to do men good; by
studying the proofs of God's interest in man in
Christ, & in his apostles; by studying the expecta
tions raised of man in the Scriptures. The com
parison of the minister's relation to the people
with the unique provision for supplying Chicago
with water, admirably and instructively closes
the address. " Christianity and Morality" is
translated from a paper forming part of Guizot's
third and forthcoming volume on Christianity.
" Pawnbrokery in New York" is a graphic pic
ture drawn from actual observation of scenes in
a leading pawnbroker's establishment in New
York. Simpson & Co., the name of the firm
given, is no satisfactory clue and is not designed
to be, to the exact scene, since there are in the
Directory nine persons of that name; in our own
city there are five " Nathans" in the same traffic,
besides . an auctioneer and others in cognate lines
of business of the same name. The writer, how
ever, attempts . no explanation of the three gilt

TABER'S PROTESTANT HYMNS.
Faber's. Hymns may be divided into, two
classes: Protestant and CatholiC. The
beauty and fervor of the former seem almost
wholly inconsistent with the superstition
and. childishness of the latter. That he
'whO wrote "The God of my Childhood," in
whiflli occur such stanzas as these:
" I could not sleep unless Thy. hand
Were underneath my head,
That I might kiss it if I, lay
Wakeful upon my bed. .
" Thou broadenest out with every year
Each breadth of life to meet; •
I scarce can think thou art the same,
• Thou art so much more sweet." . .
could have written the weak lines from ".To
Our Blessed Lady" which follow seems al
.most incredible:
"0 turn to Jesus, mother I turn,
And call Him by his tendereet 'names;
Pray for the holy souls that burn • =
This hour amid'the cleansing flarhes..
"In pains beyond all earthly pains,
Favorites' of Jesus there they lie
Letting the fire wear out the stains,
And worshipping God's purity."
And yet he did so. But it seems' to na
that in his hymns Faber is less a Catholic
than a Protestant. The petty conceits and
littlenesses of thought in the worship of his
Mother Church act like fetters upon his
pure and meditative spirit. And only when
he deals with genuine Christian experience,
such as all true followers of. Jesus; of what
ever name have in common, is he true to
himself and his genius. Read "Jesus, My
God and My Ally" "The Thought of God,"
" Perfection," ."pistractions• in Prayer,"
" The Eternal Years"; and then turn to
" Hymn to St. Joseph," and " To Our Holy
Father and Blessed Founder, St. Philip
Neri," closing thus.:
" Dear Father Philip! give to us
Thy manners, gay and free,
Thy patient trust, thy plaint of prayer,
Thy deep simplicity.
to see the difference.
In the depths of his own soul Faber seems
to be, what he was born, a Protestant.
Read this acknowledgment in the preface
to his " Catholic Hymns" : "Every one who
has had experience among the English poor
knows the influence of Wesley's Hymns and
the Olney Collection. Less than moderate
literary excellence, a very tame versifica
tion—indeed, often the simple recurrence of
a rhyme insufficient; the spell seems to lie
in that. Catholics even are not unfrequent
ly found pouring with a devout and unsus
pecting delight over the verses of the Olney
Hymns, which the author himself can re
member acting like a spell upon him for years,
strong enough to be for long a counter in
fluence to very grave convictions, and even
now to come. back from time to time unbid
den to the mind." The spell, doubtless,
was deeper than the rhyme; deeper even
than Faber thought. Nor, remembering
that he was born, and bred, and - lived for
thirty years a Protestant, do we wonder at
the lines,
" Penance not self-imposed can make
The whole of life a prayer."
In fact, Faber's Protestantism is the life
of his hymns. It is not, therefore so re
markable that, while his prose-writings
have been republished in this country, and
are in all Catholic bookstores, Protestant
publishers alone have ventured to give an
American public a sample of his hymns. In
Boston you can find nothing but this Pro
testant edition of Bridgeman & Childs,, al
ready reviewed in The Independent. A few
copies of "Jesus and Mary," includiOg
these Protestant hymns, published in, Lon
don in 1852, have been in circulation ; but
none can now be obtained.
It is very significant that the great help
ers to Romanism have so largely come from
Protestant sources., Orestes A. Brownson,
the most vigorous intellect that the Papacy
has had in this country, was educated and
taught his fearless locricalprocesses by Pro
testantism. It is so of Father Hecker, the
most intense and adroit prepagandist of
Romanism now in the,United States. And
here is. Faber, a Protestant pervert—or, to
use the corresponding euphemism adopted
by Father Hecker; in speaking of " here
tics," a non-Protestant—aspiring to furnish
for his adopted Church hymns , that should
do for Romanists what the hymns of Cow
per and Newton, and Doddridge, and Wes
ley:have done= for Protestants.
These Protestant hymns of Faber are al
ready in some of our hymn-books. Though
only one is_credited to him in the Sabbath
Hymn Book, be has furnished four others
namely, H. 240,
" 0 gift of gifts I 0 grace of faith 1"
taken from the hymn entitled " Conver
sion"; H. 912,
"0 see how Jesus trusts himself,"
from the hymn "Jesus is God"; H. 911,
"Thy home is with the humble, Lord"
and 11. 172,
"My God, how wonderful Thou art!"
with the exception of the last stanza, which
has been appended by the compilers.
But the most curious adaptation from
Catholic to Protestant uses occurs in 11.
1077,
•
" Dear Jesus, ever at my side,"
originally entitled "The Guardian Angel."
In the Protestant hymn-book the following
verses are omitted, as not calculated for
such latitude:
"But most of all I feel Thee near,
When from the good priest's feet,
I go absolved,' in fearless love
Fresh toils and cares to meet.
"Q,weary not, but love me still,
For Mary's sahe,,Thy queen;
She ,never tired of me, though I
Her worst of eons have been.
" Then love• me, love me, angel dear I
And I will love Thee more;
And help me when my soul is cast
T_Tp,oti the eternal shore."
AB a leoniperisation, hoWever, for these
orniSsions, , the Protestant editor giyes `lis° as
a last stanza the following doxology::
" To God the Father glory be,
And to his only Son;
The same, 0 Holy Ghost to Thee,
While Ceaseless ages run!"
Not among the least of our obligalicins to
Faber is.the inspiration and encouragement
given to all friends of Struggling causes by
the hymn ".The'Right Must, Win,"
,closinff
with the 9ft-quoted stanza:
" For. right is right, since God is Godi „
And right, the day must, win; ,
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter Would be sin":--
lines worthy of Whittier, which is praise
enough. , . .
We have, spoken of these productions as
bymnS; and their author, in the preface to
his' "Jesus and Mary," states, that the DDS.
of the volume was submitted to a 'musical
friend, who replied that certain verses of all
or nearly all the hymns would do for 'sing
ing. And
, 3ret they are better adapted' to
the sick-room and the closet; to be read,
than to be sung. They are meditations,
lyrics; and as such .they are among the
very best of devotional poems. A future
article may treat of the Catholic hymns of
this author.—J. B. _Rankin in independenb.
