written there, and one would be a confident physiognomist to insist against his own positive declarations on any theory which he would pronounce at variance with his selfknowledge. Perhaps some lines and mouldings of this worn and rugged, though gentle, countenance are deceptive. Still, the fact remains that Dr. Newman's life has been nothing if not a continuous experience of intellectual struggle. Though he proudly and gratefully boasts of the calm and comfort he has enjoyed ever since he knelt at the feet of the Church, he is distinguished from fellow Catholics and fellow converts by opinions and methods of thought such as coincide better than any mere profession of spiritual content with the expression which so irresistibly tells a more tempestuous story in the contour and shading of his face.

At the point of the service of the mass at which the sermon is usually delivered, Dr. Newman came from his seat, but he did not enter the pulpit. He stood at the top of the steps leading up to the altar. At first. he was attended there, as it seemed almost affectionately, by a young man who assisted at mass; but when he had read the epistle and gospel, and had replaced his biretta on his head, he stood alone, and, without book or note, proceeded to deliver his Easter sermon. It was eloquent, it was sensitive, it was in its main thought boldly ingenious; but its principal beauty was its exquisite simplicity. And this was aided in its effect by the preacher's manner. It was that of a good old father, much beloved, who had retained amidst physical weakness the strongest mental powers, talking naturally to his dearest children, without any phrases of gushing affection— for between such a father and such children they are needless of the things he most desired them to remember. There was no appearance of oratorical preparation, nor of the professional speaker's invariable rounded readiness. Occasionally, though the right word came, there was a hesitation and a feeling about for it. And never, except in the natural yet placid zeal of a strong desire to make what he was saying understood and permanently apprehended, was there anything like the emphasis and stress of the pulpiteer.

The scheme of the discourse was easy and ost conversations It was the greatest

trick of a casual resemblance, a personality
it was deeply interesting to us after many
years' distant admiration to become ac
quainted with. But perhaps, as is usually
the case, there is more in the resemblance
than mere casualty. Gifts may be identical,
though their bent may vary, and though
those who possess them may seem opposite
in spirit. Clear-cut intellect has a charac-
ter of its own, whether it be employed in
the dutiful service of Holy Church or in
the exercises of high ambition. The
qualities which Dr. Newman evinces in the
edifying of the faithful and the champion-
ing of his religion have in these works
their special play and fitness, but they
must have made him in any intellectual
field the most fortunate of combatants and
the most inspiring of instructors.
though to him, as to others of clear-cut
intellect, titular leadership is denied, moral
leadership is their inalienable prerogative.
