Great as a Statesman But Greater as a Citizen. The Preservation of the Union After the Early Colonial Struggles Was Duo Entirely to Washington's Per sonal lullueuce. KY ON E w itli out j. exception," wrote V minister of France in the re- P ort to his sr° vern - J inent on the in j* an gu ration of X.V Washington as the first president of the United States, "appeared penetrated with veneration for the illustrious chief of the republic. The humblest was proud of the virtues of the man who was to govern him. Tears of joy were seen to flow in the hnll of the senate, at church, and even in the streets, and no sovereign ever reigned more completely i.i the hearts of his subjects than Washington in the hearts of his fellow-citizens. Nature, which hail given him the talent to gov ern, distinguished him from all others by his appearance. He had at once the. soul, the look and the figure of a hero. He never appeared embarrassed at homage rendered him, ami in his manners he had the advantage of join ing dignity to great simplicity." It was an ovation such as has come to but few persons in human history, and it marked the position of Georgo Washington as one of the most, unique in the history of the world. There have J WA6TIINGTON AT VALLEY TORGE. been greater generals, there have beer j as great statesmen, there have beer, ! men who combined both capacities per haps in as high a degree in their act* done in the broad light of publicity Bnt no one conies to mind who during his lifetime exercised so great an in fluenco upon his country. Of him it was true that he can best govern others who has learned to govern himself There is scarcely another personage in history who was at once as patriots as the enthusiast, yielding nothing in fervor for country to the impulsive Pat rick Ilemy, and yet preserving that tranquillity which kept his mental vi sion unobscured by passion and un clouded by the dreams of zealots, equal in wisdom and calmness of judgment , us an architect of states to his illustri j ous associate, James Madison. Aspiring to the loftiest ideas of free dom, independence, prosperity, prog ress and happiness, his was neverthe less a moderation which kept in view that which was attainable piuctieally, and he never reached for the will-o-lhe wisps which dazzle the imagination of well-meaning, but impractical enthu siasts, He seldom failed in what he un dertook because he tool- care not to at tempt that which was beyond his means and never to proceed until his clear reason saw at eve*y step of the enter prise the manner of carrying it out. That this moderation did not lead to timidity, that the "native hue of resolu tion" was not "sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought" so as to lose its strength is shown by such bold enter prises as his incursion into New Jer sey across the ice-swollen Delaware and the successful assault on tlie British in vaders. It, was this dignified moderation which caused him to estimate justly both the resources at his disposal ami Gie difficulties to be overcome, that, gave him not pride, but confidence, and thus not only invited, but compelled the confidence of others. No man differ ently constituted could have held the continental army together in the terri ble winter of Valley Forge and under the trials and distress caused by jeal ousies in congress and insufficiency of means. Nor could any other type of man, on the other hand, have restrained the impetuosity of his officers and men who would have used their power for their own benefit against their coun trymen if only to the extent of exacting their just dues. But more remarkable, because en forced by no civil or military author ity, but only by the weight of his per sonality, was his influence during the time preceding the. adoption of the con stitution. During the most critical period of American history, when an archy threatened to overwhelm the people, when the various interests of producer and carrier, of south and north, of slaveholder and anti-slavery zealot, local differences of tradition and descent, and the individual pride of the •states were all pulling in different di rections and the body which had been held together, apparently with re luctance, under the pressure of foreign invasion, bid fair to be dissolved into its original units, it was the personal influence of Washington that contributed more than any one cause to a happy solution of the serious difficulties. When the state of Virginia, after her heroic con duct in the beginning of the revolution and throughout the war and her noble racrifice in yielding to the confedera tion her vast northwest territory, was on the point of frustrating nil that had gone before by refusing to accede to the constitution submitted to the states for ratification, it was the influence of Washington that saved that great state for the cause of the union and thus saved the union itself. Not taking part in the debates of the legislature or the subsequent convention, he was active, nevertheless, by writing to his friends and answering inquiries from numer ous citizens until the ratification was carried against the violent exertions of sonic of the ablest of Virginia's re markable galaxy of statesmen. Most powerful of all, however, was the quiet influence of Washington's personality at thut time, not only in his native state, but a.'l through the stater; md it is iii this silent force which will at work among the people that his unique position in history stands out most clearly. The personal element is always stronger than that of an abstract idea in political movements. It may be fairly doubted, und is actually doubted by the highest historical au thority, 'f the new government could have been established on broad nation al lines merely on the strength of its inherent virtue, had there not been back of it the heroic figure of Wash ington. The new plan of government being a compromise between conflict ing interests and modes of thought met with dissatisfaction, in some particu lar, almost everywhere, but there was abroad among the people the feeling, sometimes clearly expressed but gen erally remaining in an indistinct form, that whatever there was unsatisfactory in the plan was bound to work out well in the hands of Washington. This un bounded trust in the people's hero had designated him for tlio first executive long before the constitution itself was ratified, and but for this faith in the one man we might not have had the nation of the United States of America, but in its stead several disjointed confedera cies. With perfect propriety could the Italian patriot A1 fieri greet Washington with the words: "Happy are you who have for the sublime and permanent basis of your glory the love of country demonstrated by deeds." And it was not merely local feeling, but fairly represented the universal sentfhient of file people which found expression in the parting words of bis neighbors of Alexandria when he left them on his journey to New York to enter upon his duties as president of the United States: "Farewell, and make a grate ful pepole happy; and may the Being who mal eth and unmaketh at His will, restore to us again the best of men and tlic most beloved fellow-citizen." It is customary to speak of Washing ton in his public capacity of comniaiul er-in-chief or of president. It may be well, therefore, to have called at tention to the silent influence above described, for it 1b not blazoned on the pages of history, but nevertheless, perhaps, the most important part of his life work. And it was well for the young republic that it enjoyed dur ing the first years of its existence gov ernment by a man of supreme self-con trol and moderation. The success of Ihe American revolution fanned into life the spark of liberty in Europe and the organization of the government must be on a firm foundation to with stand the influences of the convulsions that were to occur within a few years and set the nations of Europe at each other's throats. Washington was pre pared. llis comprehensive mind dis cerned the approaching storms both abroad and in his own country. lie understood well the conflict of opin ions in which he had borne a dignified part in the federal convention of 1787, ami the fierce party strife which it fore shadowed. When he was called to the presidential chair he was ready with a federal policy, the result of long med itation. This was his policy: "To pre j serve freedom, never transcending the | powers delegated by the constitution; even at the cost of life to uphold the union (a sentiment which, as George Bancroft says, in him had a tinge of anxiety from his thorough acquaint ance with what Grayson called the southern genius of America); to re store the public finances; to establish in the foreign relations of the country n 1 borough American system; and to preserve neutrality in the impending conflicts between nations in Europe." By uo net of his life, full of glory and heroism though it was, did Washing ton become more truly the "father of his country" than by that influence which emanated from him and from the example of liis life while he was quietly' striving fo repair tlie remains of his fortune shattered by seven years' absence and the ravages of the war, that fortune, which, when it was yet in full bloom, he had pledged to the starving soldiery in support of the credit of the nation yet unborn. 11.

Brief Sketch of the I.lfe of the Lute Kev TheophlluM Jones. Rev. Thcophilus Jones, who was the oldest and one of the ablest Welsh Rap tist ministers of America, died at the home of his son, D. M. Jones, Esq., at torney-at-law, Wilkesbarre, at the age of 80 years. Mr. Jones was born at Caerphiii, South Wales, February 2, 1810. He was converted at the age of eighteen, under the ministry of Christ inas Evans, at Caerphiii; but there is one very remarkable fact in his boyhood days, viz, when he was fourteen or fif teen years old he used to go to the neighborhood of liengocd, about six miles from his home, to conduct prayer meetings, before ho had professed con version, and it is said that he manifested roinarkablc power in prayer even at that age. In 1843 he emigated to America and settled as pastor at Williamsburg, N. Y., but after the Rev. Morris Williams re signed the charge of the Welsh Raptist church of New York, Mr. Jones removed there and succeeded him in the pastor ate. It was during Mr. Jones' pastorate that the meeting house of the Christie Street Welsh Raptist church was erect ed. The most of his American ministry was spent among the Welsh churchos, but he was also pastor of several English churches, viz, Marcus Hook, Del., 1848- 1851, EastNent-miel, or in plain English, East Honey Brook-church, Chester coun ty, Pa., and also Aldenville, Wayne county, Pa. In all the churchos he served ho has made indelible impressions by the power of his preaching. Space would not per mitmoto write what I would like to, but there is one incident in connection with his Aldenville pastorate that ought to be, and will bo perpetrated in the history of the origin of that beautiful gospol song, "Almost Persuaded." It occurred in the year 1803. At that time Mr. P. P. Bliss and wife lived at that place, taught music and sang in the Baptist choir. One Sunday morning Mr. Jones preached a remarkable sermon from the words, "Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian," etc., which made a wonderful impression on the audience. As soon as Mr. Bliss returned to his boarding place he retired into his room and composed that sweet song, "Almost Persuaded," which had been suggested to him by the pastor's morning sermon. lam glad to be able to trace the origin of that song to such a sourco. His funeral services were held on Monday at his late home and at the First Welsh Baptist church of Wllkos barre, of which lie was the first pastor. Rev. B. F. McGee, pastor of the First English Baptist church, and Rev. Mr. Wobstor (Presbyterian) officiated at the house. At the church the services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. John T. Lloyd. Psalm 34 was read by Rev. J. M. Lloyd, of Parsons, and the prayer by Rev. Theophllus Davis (Congregational), of Plains. Addresses were delivered by the following brethren: Rev. John T. Griffith, Frooland; Deacon B. Hughes, Scranton, superintendent of the Dela ware and Hudson Company's collieries; Revs. W. F. Davies, of Providence; T. C. Edwards, 1). D. (Congregational), Edwardsdale; Charles Jones, Nantieoke; Jacob Davies, Plymouth; W. S. Jones, liyde Park, Scranton, and A. J. Morton, Pittston. Closing prayer was by Rev. W. D. Thomas, Pittson. Interment at Forty Fort cemetery. A quartette from the English Baptist church, composed of Prof. Goo. Mason and Mrs. Mason (who Is a daughter of the late Dr. Frear) Richard Williams and Mrs. Fry sang some sweet songs. He leaves one son, D. M. Jones, Esq., and one daughter, Mrs. Jennie Reed,' both graduates of Buckncll, and a host of ministers and friends to mourn his Joss. His wife preceded him u few years ago. Thus from the age of fourteen to eighty-six lie lived and died in the faith. (Rev. John T. Griffith lias kindly fa vored the Tin BUNK with the above ar ticle, which he has prepared for the denominational journal, the New York Examiner , of which lie is a correspon dent, and it will appear in that paper in the near future.
