The Record of Dr. Gladden. Two traits, we 4hink, made Dr. Washington Gladden's career—cour- age and geniality. At all events, they are the traits that come uppermost in our recollections of him as we read of his approaching retirement. Other notable traits he has, of the intellec- tual order, but it is not to them, chief- ly, that he owes his #leadership. Nei- ther his vigorous, trenchant pulpit style nor his gift for popularizing modern learning, nod his faculty of giving his addresses and printed ap- peals a solidity of iog.c and a clear- ness of statement béyond the average can explain his success.
