—The Rev. T. L. Cuyler thus discourses
in the Christian Intelligencer of certain
Christian men in public life :
The mention of Mr. I’relingliuyacn's
honored name suggests to me to say a few
things about serving Ood in civil stations.
I knew this great and modest man very
well ; he realized my ideal of the patriot
and the legislator. When he was congrat­
ulated on his election to the United States
Senate from New Jersey, his modest reply
was, “ I am sorry, though, to give up my
Sunday-school class at Somerville." When
in after years he gave a dinner party to
Henry Clay, some of his friends reminded
him that the famous Kentucky orator
would expect to have his accustomed glass
of wine, Mr. Frelinghuysen firmly ans­
wered that be 'Should give Mr. Clay the
best entertainment he could furnish, but
no intoxicating drink should be set on his
table.
English history is ennobled by the names
of John Hampden, Sir Matthew Hale and
( Wilberforce. In our own time Britain has
J—three great Christian statesman who are
zealous in personal labor for Christ. One
of them is Lord Chancellor Cairns, who
aeaiited Mr. Moody in his meetings, and is
the teacher of a large llible class. A sec­
ond is Sir Roundell Palmer (now Lord
Chelmsford) whose collection of hymns,
in his “ Book of Praise," is one of the fin­
est ever made. The third is the well-known
Earl of Shaftsbury. This venerable ser­
vant of Ood is the most untiring philan­
thropist of the age. I once met him on a
hot Sabbath afternoon (the very time when
lasy religion is sleeping off its dinner on a
sofa) at a service for the laboring poor of
Lyndon. Lord Shaftsbury knelt beside us
in a little ante-room, before the service,
and joined in fervent prayer to God for a
blessing on the Word. After the meeting
broke up, he said to me, “ Has not this
been grand, doctor ? the beet of it is, that
all this crowd was made up of poor men
and their wives and children."
To the names of Cairns, Chelmsford and
Bhaftabnry, ought to be added the name
the greatest living man who speaks the
English tongue— IFi/Ziam Ewart Gladstone.
It is a well-authenticated faet that when he
missed from before his doer crossing­
sweeper, and found that he was sick, he
want to tea him. “ Mr. Gladstone got
down on his knees and prayed for me,”
- said the poor man to his minister after-
‘ wards. The back-bone which the greatest
of living statesmen has displayed on so
many moral questions, is maintained by
his conscientious tear of God. All classes
of earnest Christians, High or Low Church
£ on-conformist or Presbyterian, have an
imense confidence in Gladstone's relig­
ious principle. It is this which has given
him his late splendid sneoess in the Par­
liamentary elections.— Ex.
