"NOT TOO OLD AT EIGHTY."

By Arthur T. Guttery.

n Dr. John Cliffor

•

d's eightieth birthday. - Ho has for his record a pastorate of fifty-seven years, a long life of heroic culture and crowded public service. He has inspired and led the greatest movements of two generations, for he hail been a tribune of the people while he served as a prophet of His God. He has lived intensely as a scholar, a seer and a saint, and remains with us to enforce the great troth that in alt realms of effort vitality is victory. He gives his challenge to dreary souls who talk about " too old at forty." He is a veteran of eighty, but be is eager for the morrows and is Anita sure that in spite of war the forces of humanity and righteousness will o'erlap all the parapets of prejudice and sweep in triumph upon ail the powers of evil. His presence is a tonic, his friend-ship is an inspiration, and his call is a challenge that fires the heart and quickens the step. He has over-come difficulties, silenced prejudices and outlived a rancour that would have destroyed most men. He has ever lived at the storm centre. Where the battle was hottest he found heroic delights. To-day the foes of yesterday do him homage and see in lirs age an un-failing courage that fills them with tender amazement. He has been a zealot among Dissenters,-has witnessed for his Nonoonformist faith in many a police-court, but he has won the reverent confidence of thou he smote with heavy blows, for they learn from him that a Pacifist may be a patriot, a scholar may be trustful as a child, and a modern theologian may be a true prophet of the eternal Israel.

It would need a great volume to trace his career, but love for him can pay its tribute in few words. His personality means even more to on than his bio-graphy. It is true of him as of all greatest men; that what he is is vastly more than what he has done or said. It is the soul rather than the story that ea prim tp-day. We hallow features that cannot be printed on a photograph; they appeal to the imagina-tion that is the truest vision of the Mill. His mighty head, poised on a fragile body, will adorn many a vestry and study for long years to come, but to-day he lives in myriad hearts as an ideal and spiritual hero.

We see in him the veneration that is due to youth. In all hie ministry he has appealed most powerfully to the young. In all parts of the world young Britons confess that his ministry fired their imagina-tion and thrilled their faith. • Young men have found him always ready to give counsel in difficulty, light in doubt, and courage for the Sternest task. Through all the years his vision and faith have been youthful. His hope has never failed, his outlook has been for the morning, and he remains the steadfast witness that daring need not be the folly of immaturity. As s result he has never grown old. He is a studenf. and a visionary as he was sixty years ago. Great, books hold him, great tasks capture him, and he sees before the race great to-morrows. The loving companion-ship of the young has saved him from all that is narrow and harsh.. He seeks no safe hiding-place in the past; it is the future that he loves. High adventure is more to hire than dull content. - His soul is fresh, unwearied and unwrinkled. He shows no that youth need not be flippant and arrogant, it may be Ala

eternal and sacred quality that deserves the homage of the wisest and the beet.

In him we see the breadth of evangelical faith. Those who have followed his menage will know how wide and vast• have been his intellectual interest.. History, science, philosophy, sociology and economics have all had their place in his pulpit. He has been suspected of ten of heresy, and narrow theologians have questioned his " soundness in the faith." He has been the sworn foe of all - heresy-hunters, and the valiant champion of all who dared to defy traditional-ism. To-day be tell. us that his ministry began with Christ and divine *conciliation, and there be abides. He has never taken his had from the Crow, and from that centre he has bee able to sweep with boldest gaze all realms of thought. He la a living protest against the notion that evangelical faith involve poverty of 'mind and narrowness of outlook. He, the most daring of all our pulpit thinkers, whose mind is naturally critical and aggressive, has found inepira-lion and content in the central truth that Christ cruci-fied and risen, is the Saviour of the world. In face of the arrogance of doubt Such a testimony is of infinite Value to the Church and its pulpit. lit'ho who are loyal to the Cross need not fear the frown of can, lemptuous learning.

—In Dr. Clifford we see the beauty of political spiritu-ality. Many people dispute the possibility of such a combination. To be a politician is to abandon the finest sainthood, and to be a warrior on the platform is to abandon the vision of the pulpit. This great Baptist preacher is a protect against euch a dreary, denial of the spiritual rights of public men. He has never stood aloof from political conflict. Shrewd blows he has taken had given. Lords and lend, edu-cation and Diseetabliebroent, temperance and Ireland, conscription and passive resistance, peace and war, have all been considered by him, and his conclusions have been given to the nation as a flaming message. He has dared unpopularity and hate ; he has made hiepulpit resound with manifestoes thkt have been as mighty as Cabinet decision.. He has been regarded as the arch-politiml dissenter. Through it all he has maintained a gentleness of spirit, a power in prayer, and a vision of the eternal which have made him one of the greateat spiritual forces of this generation. To hear him speak to ministers and students, or to sea' him lead the quiet devotion. of a company of be-lievers, is to learn how a great publicist may retain the mystic glow and fervour of holiest communion. The monastic ideal of religion ie far away from- Dr. Clifford ; ha is never troubled because the crowd will press upon the Church its loud claims, but the altar and the sacrament are found by him in the common task. No public man of this generation has talked more about the State, the citizen and the vote, but to none is the Kingdom of Heaven more close and real. He is a prophet of democracy because he sees in it a spiritual ideal and teak. He sapporta his country in the present war, and risks the charge of 1.11CODEitt-ency because he believes that Britain stands for the faith to which he bee given his life. The faith is that a free and redeemed humanity is the only goal worthy of civilisation and the will of God. He seer all event and experience, revolution and reform, con-flict and confusion, having their place in the divine purpose, and so in thing& he can pray and in die. appointment 'he can trust. Snob an example is needed to-day. Many sincere souls are haunted by the fear that to serve England is to be false to the spiritual kingdom; to enlist in army or navy is to forsake the altar; to make munitions is to betray the gospel of mercy. Such fear. are the wail of unbelief, and they are rebuked by the robust example of Dr. Clifford. He was never so British as to-day. He hates the German policy with a burning hate, but he is loyal to the supreme Gospel of redeeming mercy that It for all nations and all men.

He is domestic and cosmopolitan. What a traveller he has been I . Every corner of this island kingdom hue heard his voice. - He has crowed many seas and continents. Baptiste, reformers and democrats of all lands have felt the power of his appeal. He is a mighty citizen of the world ; but to see him at his best is to visit him among his own folk, or, etill better, to

, have fellowship in the intimacy of his home. There he is reverenced and beloved, for there the very soul of him pours out its sweetest, richest treasures. It ion an awful tragedy to allow public activities to weaken

' home life; from' that evil Dr. Clifford has been saved, and therein he is doubly blessed. His interests acknowledge no frontier, but he always returns home to find rest for his soul.

About this honoured leader the evening gathers, but the shadows are gentle and frill of grace. We pray that he may remain with us a while longer to cheer and mensal us, but we are sure hie story wall always abide amid the tremures of the ram and his faith will win the dawn that is the sure will of a divine and eternal love. Some of at feel old at fifty ; we thernk -God for one who is not too old at eighty for battle and pervico. Mere years shall not dismay the heart that is pure.

He insieted that the highest duty of the citizen was to live conscientiously, and that a .nscientious objection to war resting on moralgrounde was as valid as an objection resting on definits? religioue grounds. In every case a conscientious, objection should be impacted. All who took part in this discussion, opened by Rev. J. Upright, supported Mr. Auty'. thesis.

This will seriously. weaken the King's influence, but will immensely strengthen that of M. Venezelcrs. The Allies have Made succeesfal air raids on two or three of the fronts, and have inflicted great damage.

The Eiremler's Great Speech. • One of the moet powerful and illeminatIng oration. of

the war was delivered in the House of .0memons on Wednesday night of lest week, and when it is remembered that Mr. Arenith had to weak under the ethadow of a great per.. bereavement, the occasion became pathetio and almost tragic. He reiterated, in unmistakable speech, the view which M. Lloyd George had expounded an hie recent lemons interview. He was very definite in declaring that "no patched-upp. peace, preouthus, &showmen

men like lord Haldane Amnia ao net the enormous ports.e of national education and of the education of the common people that he should be content to devote his remaining days to "being a missionary on this great question," and all lovers of real national progress will

wish him God-speed in his crusade. Under the auspices of the Joint Committee of the Birmingham University and the Workers' Educational Association he has just uttered some salutary truths on our national educational policy. He contended that our first duty is to win the war, and after the war we must not fall behind other nations in our mental equipment, or lose our industrial or our intel-lectual position. It was "resential that we should rain the level of our intellectual efandard, and more and more it was becoming evident that the education question,, the question of the training of the coming generation, was going to be the key for other social questions." This is good teething, and it is to be hoped all classes will lay it to heart. He had good advise to rive especially to the workera. He very pertinently wished they would "think a little more about educations.. little less about some other things." "A really great democrative system of education would break down axial barriers more than anything else." All this hra often been declared, but voices have been drowned when times have been much more clear and much easier than now. In the midst of the etress of war it is much to be desired there will be what Lard Haldane calls "an awakening senile."

Conscription in Ireland.. It is significant that Lord Wlinborne, the Lord-

Lieutenant, Mr. Duke, the Irish Secretary, and, most remarkable of all, the 'military authorities, are all re-ported To ehave advised the Government that the appli-cation of conscription to Ireland is at the preeent time neither desirable nor practicable.".Probably this will With or stifle the rather unworthy campaign which the disturbers of Ireland have sought so sedulowely to pro-nto.

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

676 THE PRIMITIVE METHODIST LEADER. OCTOBER 19, 1916

THE PRESIDENT'S CONFERENCES. • Carlisle and Whitehaven District.

c.a.'. is the centre of many things, notably Out on Thareday, October 12th, it wee the centre of attraction for Primitive Methodists,' who. were looking forward to a day with thePresident and his .wisely chosen assistants, Rev.. Professor A. L. Humphriee,• M.A., and T. J. Gladwin. Great expectations had been rained throughout the District, and bhankfulneea expressed that two days were to be given for holy fellowship and Chnetian communion. The account. of preview, con-ferences given in the leader had stimulated desire and created .pization for the beet Analysing ones im-preesions.at the Mose of two days--one epent at Carlisle and the other at Aspatria—no person could be dis-appointed, but most have felt the spiritual uplift that Came gradually and culminated in the great meeting on Friday night at the lathmentioned place.

A few minutes after two o'clock on Theeeday the Presi-dent entered the CecilAtreet Church, and promptly an-nounced the hymn, " Jesus shall reign where'er the sun," which was heartily sung. Rave. F. A. Yoeig and J. E. Leoty led the deletions. After reading a portion of Scripture and singing that truly missionary hymn, " Chect for the world we eing," the President briefly stated be, .desire and hope concerning all these PIM-dential vele. Introducing Mrs. Leidy, of Haltwhistlei he mid that Carlisle was trying an experiment the whole nation was watthing—State ownership and management of the liquor teethe, and now mother experiment was to be tried. For the trot time a lady wee to lead in them conferenoes, and he knew no one more fitted for this honour than the indefatigable secretary of the Women's Missionary Federation. Mrs fauty plunged at once into her .abject, "Our Missionary Outlook Present Opp.. Purities and Needs." A rapid survey wee given of our forty-six y.re in Fermado Po, our "coma* of age" in Southern Nigeria, and twenty-seven years among the BarlarRatonga people in South Cenral Africa. Beginning modestly with two miseionaries, we had now thirty-eight agents on the field, exclusive of natives, with twenty-one , centres of operation covering wide tract; of country. Yet -the enemas had been marvellous. At the close of the address Professor Humphries mid: God'e call .mes through our opportunities. As these were great, the call was insistent and urgent. We needed to have the whole Church at the link .01 them. He was hot enamored of the term "Missionary Society." We wanted a Ithseionary Church. To be a Christian was to be a missionary, every member a ahareholder in a divine enterprise. The Presi-

- dent then closed with words of e.ouragement . • At 2.24 a remarkable sermon was preachedby'the Presi-

dent, a sermon akin to the "Isle of Sorrow," which brought . ninth comfort to many and led some Of your correspondents to long for further revelations of this side of Mr. Gunny's versatile character. An excellent tea followed in the sch.lroom, provided by the Cecil-street friends, and over the tables Rev. A. J. Bull voiced the welcome of the District Committees to our distinguished visitors, all making suitable acknowledgment.. We was a delightful half-hour.

In the evening a great public meeting was presided over by Mr. W. Foster, who, in • few well-chosen phrases, wel-comed the speakent, and called upon Profeesor A. L. HumPhries, to address the meeting. • His subject sae " The Missionary Motive in the New LIght." It was a 'fine deliverance. He end the thought of to-day demanded a reconsideration of oar position. The Moldy of compara-tive religions had shown up they contained many ex-cellences They bore witness to the religious. instinct It was oars to show that Christianity was the beet; Another motive was to be found in the pitif al needs of the heathen. We hoary little of them, except the Paganism across the North Sr.. If we could slip back and have three 111011t119 of Paganism, such as our forbears knew, what an appre-ciation we should have of the benefits. we owe to Christianity. Think of our restful security. Contrast-oar own land with what our missionaries have told ue concern-ing the cruelties and time of Africa. This should be all irresistible sanest And yet we have a stronger that that. We ought to be cautionary for our own sake. Onlyae thaChurch is missionary ie it really Christian. "He that believe& on Me, out of him obeli flow rivers of living mt." Many believe in the inflow, but disregard the outflow. We must receive before we can give. Exports are the corollary of imports. It ie " living " water we receive; it must "flow " or stag... The true picture of it is found in Feekiers vision. The application in Paul's, "2 am a debtor." To whom? Why t, He had. received, and therefore mast give. What have we that we have not received 1 The measure of our obligation is the '• imports" we have received.

This striking speech was followed Eby another from Rev T. J. Gladwin on " The Missionary Cell Through Modern Progress." He said If the commercial man as going to take advantage of the new conditions, ao must we. We may be a little tardy in making changes, but they will be made. No need to be measuring up every day, like a man digging op his root. to see if things are growing. In the New Age may we find we have oat been behind.

The last address was by the President of Conference. e Forward into Light" was the topic. The gospel of the 'sunrise. It seemed to some grim irony amidst the welter and bloodshed of the present hoar. Yet, Mending at the foot of the Cross, he could are the light. The desert would end. The divine Book always apple of the morning. The Christ we serve never het His faith in humanity. Things were dark in the Master's day, yet-He looked ahead. Christ always mw what man would become. Any pulpit that lone hope is doomed. We look to the Crois to view the upward tendency of life. One age .is not so dark . the age to -retail Jens came. In that age •Christ declared the Kingdom was coming. The Cross became the

Throne. Flistory.is not .determined by kaisers or. kings. God will build up Hie new Jerusalem. The need of the hoar is a great baptism of joy. It le a positive pain to watch 'some people go to church. Perhaps we have made ft drab. Brighten it up with Christian joy. Vision is wanted. Ileacen is a bigger piece than many have dreamed. He had h.rd a sermon lately on heaven that was all too mechanical. It was measured out too exact. "I conies, I have no mood or measuro for this kind Of thing." We must seek to bring heaven down here. This war is helping us. War is discredited. When the boys .me home they will hate it more. They have learned their lesson. "I tell you sin is not inevitable, nor. in-vincible." Goodness has a place. We pass from dark-zees to dawn and "forward Into light"

Thanks were heartily accorded to trustee., choir, ladiea, chairman, etc., and eo closed a graciote and memorable day.

Oar second day was spent at Aspatria, where,. have a splendid church and atrong society., Delegate and visitors, turned min large numbers, and the atmosphere throughout war electric with spiritual forcer The morn-ing eession hope with devotion, Rev. J. E. lardy offering prayer. The Prmident then mid We dre all °onerous of the -presence of the real Christ in our midst. He ie bringing comfort and strength to us. He is an all suffi-ciency. I have seen in France intellectual unrest,' but I have also seen how Christ can come to the men in khaki. Two things are sure—the atoning work of Cluistand Hie personal reeurrection. We have His continual ministra-tion. Believe in your faith. After hymn end prayer, Profeesor Humphries delivered a powerful addrese on " Tice Alleged Failure of the •Church." The Professor mid there was a 'widespread feeling that all had not gone well with the Church during this new °eatery. Something of a deadlock- had been witnessed, like that on the Somme. But he would have ue remember that similar times had been before ; at the end of the find century, the middle ages, Wnley's day, and at the commencement. of our own denomination. God bas always brought. His Church out Yet it was will to examine the situation. In looking for the mums, the main one was in the world. • History tamht us that the Church could fail where it heel been most faithful. Thin was a time of adjustment. The true perspective would be found, and we moat remember that the test is not whether men want the Gospel or oot, but whether they need it. Rev. Benjamin Moore opened up a discuasion by remarking that the subject upon which the most none.m had been talked was the one before is. If the Church was a cerpae there would be no criticism. Men only criticised livin3 thinga. Generally, those who criti-oee have some other ineitution to recommend. Now in all other institutions the same difficulties had to be fend. It was not an ideal Christianity that contented lin?f with

pleasant hour on Sunday af terncon. Let every Church set itself to win those who lad a loose attachment, through early .sooiation, etc., and bring than into clew touch again. The problem would then he solved. The President pleaded for the -example of the nation on ate heroic side to be set before the young. Enlist them on'their retarn from the front for the higher service. Rev. A. J. Ball, Me. Hindmareh, Me. Quayle and Mr. Armstrong took part. It was a helpful time

Alter an excellent lunch in the schoolroom, the confer-ence met, to consider "The New Day and Its Taroks." An illuminating address was given by Rev. T. J. Gladwin en "The Denominational Outlook.", This was followed by a conversation, in which Revs. G. Davies and J. E. Lau& took Dare. The evening meeting was a magnificent one, Presided.. by Mr: George Armstrong. Profeeeer Hum-D.jes evoke upon "The New Note in .our PThaelling,” 110, T. J. Gladwrn on "The New Call for Organisation," and the President of Corriere.. on "Our Menage to the Nation." Thii is but an imperfect sketch of a grand series of meetirms, which cannot fail to brine blessing into this widely scattered District. Our expectation. were more than reareed, and the joy- of them will be an abiding memory.

Ministers and officials of all our chum.e are to be paged to have a public reception and recognition of all young people who become members of the church.

Mr. W. H. Hamlett gave a most cheering report of the yeses holiday tone at Scarborough, end it area decided that Barton shall be the centre next year, the time to be the last week in July. Rev.

helpful discuesion yroe provoked by a report of the National Conference on Sunday-school deerneee. Rev. to Bennett voiced the feeling of most of the members by declaring that conferences on Sunday-school work 'were not the chief necessity at this moment. The .great nnd was a petition to win the young people to Christ md the , Church, and with that passion the present workers in our schools could accomplish wondere in promoting semen. Mrs. Venable. helped the Committee by an account of the rreccessful work being done in one church and school by the consecrated effort of the teachers, who had been led to establish prayer-meetings, and by personal effort and visitation had been able to win many of their young people to Christ. Rev. Joseph Johnsen, the General Book Steward, gars a report of the arrangement. for " The Sunday School Magazine," and though the con of paper and printing have meressed enormously, the magazane ra to be_oontinued next year st the ordinary price , of two-pen..

- GREAT CELEBRATION AT WHITECHAPEL.

Rev. T. Jackson's Fortieth Anniversary.

The fortieth anniversary celebration of Rev. Thos. Jack-son was a great event. Over 300 pereons sat down to tea—, all sorts and conditions, from a Preaident.designate to a street urchin, from a Oennaxionsl lawyer to a charivoman ,after which a large audience gathered in Brunswick Hall to jcdn in anniversary jabilatione. The meeting begun with the flinging_ of "God is' with us," Bung as though Whitechapel really believed it, then after Rev. Hy. Par-rott bad offered prajer "Breathe on me, breath of God," was song with gbwing fervour. Dr. 'Clifford wrote con-

Laitulations, and mid : "1 hair long known of and re-

receiied from Chaplain Gilbert, conveying " congnitula-hone from thousands of. P.M. soldiece and sailors?' Dr. Peake wrote saying "the value of his work he beyond one computation, and the spirit in which it has bean done ie beyond our praise." . The " diesappomtments" had brought cheer and stirred the heart of our veteran slam missionary. With im-petuous vigour and oontagions joyfulness he plunged into his anniversary address. He began-by telling of his in-troduction forty yeare ago to hia great life'mork among the poor and outcast of the East End. In response to what he playfully called "the modest and urgent request of the 0.0.0.," he went from Sheffield to London, after Ming in the ministry on probation only-three months, to take charge of Bethnal Green-Miseion and to Open a new mission at Walthamstow. Mrs. Jackson was left behind to sell the funiitare or give it away. Lodgings were secured with a coffee-home keeper. (Loud applause.) And three daps after hie arrival he conducted hie first services, -in the morning in the West-etreet Miesion Room with a congregation of three persons, in the afternoon in the open air on Mile End Waste' without any helpers, and in the evening n .1 resetreet M mn Room, Bethnal

Jackson of romancmg!) he said that after seven gears' labour there were 106 church members, 330 scholars, Uff Rand of Hope members, three chapels had been built, end '22,692 Mised for all Femmes.

Then in 1884 came the splendid offer of Mr. J. S. Park-

man, no delighted was with Mr. Jackson's work, of 2100 per year if the G.M.C. would appoint Mr.'Jackson to some densely populated and needy district in London.. A Minion was oonsequently opened at Highbdry Yale, rooms engaged and "remarkable success witnessed." After that he was sent to miesign Clapton. A house wea famished on the £40 allowance! And with a grant of £15 en old disused theatre in Glenarm-road, known as the "Old Dust Hole," . capable of seat- ing 1,000 persons, was repaired mid renovated. " These were days of trial and difficulty ; bat, putting our trust in God, we resolved to succeed, what- ever sacrifice and personal discomfort it might demand." After eighteen years,-so read the circuit testimonial, "remarkable success has attended his varied and self-sacrificing labours. Seven churches, with 560• members, 1,000 scholars and teachers, property to the value of £37,000, with only 24,000 debt upon it, have been added to the Connexion, and in addition 120,000 has been raised for various funds of the mi.ion. In connection with the social work originated and sustained by Mt. Jackson, an ideal Home of Rost hoe been erected at Southend-on-Sea, .with accommodation for forty visitors; 90;000 cases have been assisted by the Medic:. Weldon, 25,000 free break- fasta have been given to and starving children, 100,000 articles of clothing and 80,000 soup dinners have been given to .necessitous families, 10,000 destitute men have been supplied with free dinners, and 10,000 children have been afforded, a holiday in the country." So, in cold figures, ran the story of eighteen years of missionary heroism. Then came the story of the Working Lads' Institute. Twenty years ago,,when it was entirely closed for want of funds, the founder, fearing it would be cap-tured se a gin palace or music hall, asked in the public press "if there was not some person or institution who will in God's name acme to the rescue," That appeal went straight to Thomas Jackson's heart, He went to the rescue. Some time. later Brunswick Congregational Church, on the other side of Whitechapel-road, doled its doors, and Mr. Jackson bought it for 27,000 and reopened it for evangelistic and social work. The whole cost has been raised, 100,000 free euppera for homeless and nose sitous men, free night eheltere, supper and breakfast to 15,000 men, meals to 280,000 necessitous children, medical assistance to 125,000 patients. 2,000 homeless and d.ti-tate lads and first offenders admitted to the Home. Well might the police inspector say that "Brunswick Hall is worth more thantwenty conetablee in Whitechapel."

But Thomas Jackson hes not been the saviour of lost souls only, he has been the saviour of lost causes: Good-hue... Mission, Hackney and Bow Mission, and Walinaley Orphan Home and Brudenell-road•Mission, Leeds, stand to his credit, having been lifted out qj the " miry clay" by his untiring efforts. Then, after a fitting and well-clemrved, perhaps meagre, tribute to the sisters of the people, he told ye, that the freehold nremmee of the Working Lads' Institute, BrunswickWall, and the Home of Rest were now debtlees. But the war has dried up

Whilechapel's sources of income, and there is now 21,100 overdrawn at the bank! Thom. Jackson did not say this with any tone of sadness or despondency. Then he began to stammer just a little " In view of this meeting, and the event it celebrates, my wife and I have been preparing, by means of all possible economy, to haven thankoffering to present to God and theWhitechapal Mission, and with much pleasure, cheerfulness and gratitude I give a cheque for -one hundred guineas"! There was not an un.usl measure of applause ; amazement stifled it. " Stupen-dous 1-". said one. " Prodigious ! "- answered the other.

The chairman, Mr. F. J. Hitchman, of Waltham..., tattei.,v;itehnprdide antepleynirce of sacred anemias of

that ' Itomeasayleckmn'veres Muly„wa rem*arTaetddeamn at man, a brave man. Not one of your old men

dreaming dreams, but a young man seeing visions and realieing them." The Mayor of Stepney brought the con-greterlaboris Of the borough; and testified- that the. civic task to-day is, and to-morrow will bo, lighter because of the brave and quiet work done by Thomas Jackson and the likes of biro. '(Great applause.) Similar testimony was borne by that Bast End veteran Sir John Kid, Then came Rev. William Thomas, bearing his good will and the testimony of the Free Churches. He said Thole. Jackson was a Free Churchman of the right stamp. " What he has contributed to the Free Church life of London no man knows." These warm and earnest words brought Mr. George Nokee, J.P.. the "Bishop of White-°Impel," to his feet with a delightful testimony. .

So spake London on the life-work of ono whose name is surely not far behind that of Abou Ben Adhem. Then Primitive Methodism began to speak. Joseph Johnson, of St. George's, said that some men lived on the Churches, but Thomas Jackson had lived for his Church. The speech they had listened to had not given the best side of the story ; there were the redeemed souls, the regenerated lives, the cheer and hope implanted in the brmsta of countless men and mothers and boys. That was a story that only the angels could write. Rev. S. Horton said he net Thomas Jackson forty years ago, fell in love with him, and had loved him ever since. What romance he could see behind that report! He remembered when he himself was responsible for a :mission and appealed for help ; Thomas Jackeon did without a new suit. of cloths and cent his contribution ! He brought that night "a cheqne for 100 guineas from the G.M.C., which does not by any means represent the love and admiration your brethren have for you." The President-designate spoke for the whole denomination. Mr. Parr assured Mi. Jack-son that wherever a Primitive Methodist heart beat there was a warm affection for hinr.. He wished he would write the story of his life; it would vie with" Broken Earthenware." Alderman E. O. Rawlings said : "His great business powers have made for effectiveness in his Christian activity. Thomas Jadmon is a great sour, And so-said all of us.

" It deserve. study by men who would realise the great motive of the Christian Evangel Ind the demand which will be made on preachers by the new ag'. Mr. Pearce is himself a brilliant preacher with natural eloquence, chaetened by genuine culture. He calls for a genera-tion of prophets, who shall hold authority by nobility of character, %sails.on of the divine message and a wide inter pretation of the possibilities of human life. He has caught the true secret of evangelical power and invites his com-rade, to possess the treasures of devil. grace. The address iszfull of apt illus-trations, enriched with literary beauties and made off.tive by a !spiritual passion that throbs in every paragmph. Mr. Pearce has given this rich creation of heart and bmin to the liparkhill and Tyseley Churches, and the circulation of the booklet will enrich many readers and at the same than help this valiant mil:dater to solve a financial problem that has long taxed the resource and devotion of these city churches"

to Grace that she should go and live with thole, and were very much disappointed when she told them that it was impossible far her to leave her father.

Elks had observed that ever after the night she had seen bin on the (lois:mon he was pestles., and More than ones he hinted at iv possible change of residence at an early date. One evening he came home earlier than usual, and after tea he told her that in the morning a vakwascoming to fetch the furniture, so she had better panic 'anything that needed packing. Timidly she inquired "where they

- were going?" to which he replied, She would know' soon enough." This audden removal and his reticence in dieekoing their luta* place of abode only confirmed-the dreadful suspicion that had taken posseseion of her mind.

Their new home proved to be a quiet cottage irrthe neighbourhood of Mitcham. It had a garden in full of beautiful flowers, and roses covered the little trellis-porch over the door. When Grace row it she woe very highly delighted, and would time been very happy but for her anxiety about Peter and the dreadful thought always present with her that her father was a murderer. Things had improved financially with Drummond, and the Derby Day had fairly eat him on his feet. Ho began advertising in various sporting papers and it was partly with an eye to badness of this kind that he had chosen this little country retreat.

It was now for the first time that Grace learned the nature of her father'. bush.... Tipsters, jockeys, horsey men of all sorbs began to call at the how. He spent wore of hie time at home, and they often palmed their evenings with him in drinking and .rd playing. Among the moat frequent of his visitors was Beasley, who seemed to have a great influence over her father. One evening when she was occupied with some homehold duties in the little scullery, and Beadey and her father were engaged in a game of poker, the heard than laughing loudly over their .perienc., and the greenness of some of their

" Oh ! it's nothing.

But‘there are others who are eeery cautious, and it requiem a good deal of tact and shill to draw them. I think the most awkward customer I ever met was that gnat Torkelidre tyke who got winged at Efitehin's on Derby Day.. I had him in tow all the afternoon, for I learned that he hall justoome into a pretty large fortune, and I thought it was ,a pity be should carry it all hack wick hire. I plied him pretty well with brandy, but he drank likes fi& and seemed no worse. It win with the greatest difficulty I pomaded him to come with me to Hitchin's. Fortunately I gave him a wrong address, and he knew no more about London than I know about his native moon. But onn we got him to play he seemed to lose his head, and we should soon have had him dripped to his skin, when he caught sight al Swinbeine with a used betweenlais hose and the table. And the strode oat like a hozse kicking, and Sinn-burne went heabovet-heels

' and then he was going for

me. Gordan foolishly drew hie revolver—not to shoot, he declare., but to make him listen to reason, when he somehow caught the trigger, pop it went, and hit the countryman in the ah•.1.&r.. As I saw him drop I thought we were in for it. When all the others bolted I determined to stand by Hitchin if the police came. Bat all remained quiet, and so we re-lit the gas and had a look at my gentleman. He was bleeding like a stack pig, and the field thing was to stop it if we could. After a time he came round a bit, and then the question came how were wet, to get rid of him. Fortanately,yen turned up jest at the time."

"Ay! and helped you oat of your difficulties by taking him off your kande- After you mated me with him into the cab I thought he was going to kingdom come, and I began to think the best thing I could do was to try and slip out unobserved and leave'M'm there. But I Tsow him some brandy, and by-and-by he 'Mph to revive httle. I had ordered the oilman to ram to the south side of Clapham won, where I knew than were plenty of trees and it would be dark.

"It's a had egg." "W411, I woddit't part, with him until you are forced." The conversation then drifted off to other edge.. Bet

what she had heard greatly. relieded Grace and lifted s great burden hem her mind. Her father,' after all, was not as had as the had thought. He was innocent, anyhow, of shedding the blood of a -fellow-creature. But the latter part of the conversation greatly perplexed her. He was evidently engaged in some plot which promised to involve him in difficulties. But she could only watch and pray, ancPboth of theee she did continually. There is always hope for a man for whom a child is praying. God seems to have a special plea.re in answering the prayers of children, and methinka of all children a motherlem girl monad gets to the, heart of the Eternal. And it is not hard to understand why.

"FREE CHIJERCHMAN" Is used as an Inset In the most suo-oessful Churoh Magazines throughout the oountry. If the Magazine of your Churoh Is not all you could deslre, or If you are contemplating starting such a publication, send for a Specimen of

the "Free Churohman " at once.

Six Reasons why you should localise the " Free Churchman." 1. THIS MAGAZINE REPRESENTS THE HIGHEST

VALUE IT IS POSSIBLE TO SECURE. The "Free Churchman" is not conducted with the one

idea of profit-making. It. value 'as a messenger of the Gospel is the first consideration, and everything is sub- , ordinated this ideal. Only religious leaders and writers of the highest repute contribute to its pages, and no expense is spared to make it the foremost publication of its kind. Notwithstanding the enormous increase in the cart of- paper and printing, the Magazine has been maintained at its old size standard daring the present clitical period.

2. THE "FREE CHURCHMAN" IS ATTRACTIVE TO TIE READER-AND READILY SECURES SUBSCRIBERS.

Its bright and artistic appearance and its readable character engage the attention of the prospective reader, end sutscribere are easily secured. This .e a matter of the greatest importance, as it considerably relieves the distributor., and, of mime, makes for the complete macess of the Magazine,

8. IT APPEALS TO THE ADVERTISER, AND • MAKES FOR FINANCIAL SUCCESS.

Without the aside.° of the advertiser it is very difficult, if not impartible, to conduct *loca lised Magazine without a considerable tom The style and maksup" of this Magazine never fail in their appeal to the advertiser, and the pages of advertisements in Magazines where this inset is used are eloquent testimony to the value of the "Free Churchman."

4. THE "FREE CHURCHMAN" HAS MEANT A PROSPEROUS MAGAZINE WHERE OTHER INSETS HAVE FAILED.

Many instances have been brought to our notice where other insets have been treed, and have proved a failure. • With this inset the same publications have become an unqualified recces., thus pros* the worth of the "Free Chure,hman." If year Magazine is not all you could wish it to be, you will be well advised to give this meet a trial.

. EVERY SUCCEEDING NUMBER IS AS GOOD AS TEE SPECIMEN. COPY.

A great point to bear in mind is that every amending number of the "Free Churchman" bare out the proinise of the specimen mimber. Other insets concentrate on the first bone of the year, and the following nrunbers are bat indifferent imitations. By usinithis inset you enema that throughout the year your Magazine will be readable and

I am persuaded that all on our lief will be entitled to the additional 2s. 6d., May I remind my brethren also that we do not renew the qa.terly payments until Voucher No. 2 is in the hands of the secretary, and it would help both the treaearer and eeczatary if three vouchers were to hand by the 20th of December, Match, June and Septem- ber. Seeing the committee have

• "In the Heart of the Country." firs,—I am sorry to offer any criticism on the article of

Rev. J. C. Mantnop, ht the Leader for October 5th, bet I think it ill right that the present generation of writers end speakers should be cautioned against g un- charitable remarks in regard to the doings of oar men of the last generation, or any generation preceding the pre-sent one. Tam reading for the eeeond time the History of our Church by Rev. H. B. Kendall, RA., and when I read or he. such statements as quoted below, Fvronder if the parties concerned have carefully read our history. Mr. Mantripp says: "No doubeit was insane policy to miss the highways of traffic and hide the sanctuary where only the faithful could find it in so many cams We have suffered for this arid continue to suffer." I beg to say that before any sack statement is made the writer should have fall knotoledge, not only of the men but of all the circumstances involved in each respective ease. Accord-ing to the history, whatever might have been the excep-tions, our father), as a rule, did their best both in build-ing chapels, getting congregations, and farming church. Mr. Marinipp speaks of the foundations of the bridges being unseea. I call his attention to the fact that the Men of whom Be speaks helped to lay the foundation of our Church. Let us who now live be as earnest and truer as they were—doing our best in onr day as they did in theirs, and the blessing of God will be with us as it un-doubtedly was with them.—Yoare, etc.,

The severity of the pinch in the homes el some reti.d ministers mast be unthinkable. It must be home in Mind that for the imparanimated minister there lies been, no tonferential enactment authorising the augmenting of the allowances nuMe 20 per alit., se in the stipend. of the active ministers.

MY own feeling. in regard to the restatement of docirine

problem of • today fs not at the; " oat. forts" but under conStion. I have felt for a long time that the

at the ^ • It is a: question of God. So / ask my- self, what is the Christian .doelaine of God -The, word MAW= takes as right back to Ohrhre—Chrlitien. Weer the question is, What was Jesus' coneeptIm- of God? How did He conies His relation to God and is what terms did He express that relationship/ in, of His relation to God, He almoit invariably- said Father. "My Fsther is greater than 4" "My Father worketh wren oats now, and I work." "iffy-Behar tiveth yea the. true breed from Heaven." •"I and My, Fel. am One." "St is My nether than honormeth Ma' "Alia works that I do in My Father's name." "My Father, Who m an e them Me, is greater than all." "No man is aildelj'ar pluck' them. out of My Father'. hand." " This comaremdment have I received from My Father.' This

was the normal expression of his inner experience of God. The next question I ask is What value has our Lard's experience for man as man / In other words la God the universal Father? the relation between man and God " filial 7 Is the nature of God " parental," and can the question be answered on the authority of Jesus Himoelf 7 I thinbit can. At least there are three facts which seem to me to be sufficient Our Lord's consciousness of God at Father did not create Fatherhood in God. What Jesus knew God to be He had always been. Jesus entered into it. He became aware of it It came to Him. He knew it.

Then, in His life He acted oat the universal. When a man came to Him He did not ask "Are you a Greek or a barbarian?" bat treated him . a man. This verse ex-presses His attitude to all "Him that cometh unto me I will in na4vitescoa:txt.."..,Again the name He chose for

Mon" He always called Himself by that, He never used any other. "It occurs eighty-one times in the Gospeli." He did not make it. Be read it in Jeremiah, Faekiel, and Daniel. Why. did He choom it 7 We do not know, but its just like Him. "He would be, not a king, coming in power and glory, but a man, deeming nothing foreign to Him that belongs to the lot of any human being." To every race of men to-day He is the "Son of Man." Now, since we must have a name for God, let as be content with the name that was all eafficient for Jesus—Father. Then restate all our Chris-tian doctrines in the light of the Divine parenthood.— Yours, etc., J. Qtricrox,

INDUSTRY • AFTER THE WAR.

By Rev. W., Younger.

Ahead* there are inanyamTh that Britain its preparing for the new eituation which will arise after the war. The winning orthe wards important, bui the will to be ready ler the strenuous etruggliswhich will follow.ie even more important. Our policy must be the resoluta and trailed .d °Twitted use of the eneraPes and resources of the country for the comfort and advance of the community. And along a few main lines of readjustment will be found the highway to succes. There must be financial Support

• to buninees and international trade. The Goye.men$ has boldly taken the matter in hand, and is prepared to begin a new banking arrangement for the furtherance hl trade beyond the seas. The policy of the formation of

-large banking corporations in this country Me led to speculations in foreign. segurittee ; bet the keel business man has not been assisted ne be was twenty years ego. In Germany the common interests of banks and beam.ae have enabled them toy extend their foreign trade at an enormous rate by an ample guarantee of security, and by the provision of a longer credit • for foreign buyers than wee usually possible in this country. The Government has acted in a praiseworthy manner.- The danger is that

may deal avith.the problem. in an inadequate way, partly because of the jealoney of the joint stock com- panies.. -

Another fruitful sign of subsequent value ie the tend-ency to a better understanding between capital and labour. The pre-war bitterness must.not be allowed to continue, end,- happily, the ear has revealed the willingness on both sides to put the good of the ionntry before their own aims and programmes. Bet if the compulsion of a military straggle could produce this voluntary surrender of im-portant rights, then surely the compulmon of the common-wealthain the days of Peacethould be even more effeetige. Labour boa covered iteelf-with glory in this crisis. The principles of trade • unionism; acknowledged after long years of hardahip, have been the Magna Charta'a the working man. Yet these have been surrendered out of loyalty to the needs a the country. The "trade union leaders have manifested a fine sense of restraint, and will-

. ingness to Co-operate with the. Government, in the main- tenons of loyalty andgood feeling. We now know what a valuable asset they are ip every department of industrial life. The old Tory prejudice against the chempiens of the voiceless crowds will not carry mach weight in the future. The Newananite dread of the progress of deme-craey is obsolete. Capital and labour are quietly viewing industrial problems from a new line of approach. Labour leaders mist no longer- remain outside the council. of business. Individualism in business is now pet in its proper place-. The great demands of 'a progreative nation must be regarded, from-.larger point of view. And the Government of the nation in the future Mast bided' the dipat repreeentation• of labour. - The 'Sight Hon. A. Henderson. is a national aged in this hour. . .

There must also be-given a more eerions attention to the problems of education. CommerCiai travellers must be aide to know the language of the peoples with whom they transact business. Push.is no substitute lefintelligenoe. We know more about football and laniards than about books and peoples. There will be no 'piaie en the- future for the nation whose youths are indifferent to education. Middleclass eons and daughters Ware *idly becoming parasites. Their supreme concern. Were pleamere and attire. The parents of the aiddle class. musricultivatean atmosphere -of culture and' strenuousness in their homes. The acquirement of money should-not not as a creator of a brainless domesticity: And the educational system of England must be based upon a less fierce hatred of the children of the working classes. Numbers of clever boys are handicapped bermes of lack. of funds. The cry of cost-will not work after the war. The nation which can afford five millions a day for..war can find and mutt make ample provision fOr an efficient System of education:' One advantage of n gnawing intelligence is the gradual removal of the power of prejudice. Heald's, the advance of science and skill increases the capacity tO engines, and the prob-lem of the amount and- qiialig of output per peieon its one of the outetanding questions of the hour. And the solution of the problem is one of the mat effective methods of meeting the, severe internstional competition of the future. It is probable that wars waged for territory-will become fewer. It is the peaceful -conflict within the sphere of ,ThuSiness which will confront us. .

It is fortunate for us that trade will be good in this country for, novena yea. after the war. Prices will be higb, but the people will be fed and clothed. This will enable us to face the vast readjustment., in finance, ludas-

trial relationthipa and education without the peril of the bitterness which ,would accompany a prolonmd.period of Unemployment. One .urgent need will be tlie.exurien. of a Government which will compel the community, to deal with the situation.' The- Will to solve problems in a time of war can easily disappear when the pressure of the con-flirt is peat. And it would be a serious matter for the country if apathy and the return Of class prejudiceo should prude. a plentiful crop of industrial perils. And if theta should be a Government of reaction, with the ineettled. problem of Ireland, it is easy to imagine the difficulties which would appear. This is the hoar for a •wise and effective. provision for the new situation after the war. And Christian men and women must eariteetly pray and labour for the maintenance of good feeling• in the •countsy after the war, because only in this way will the Gospel menus find its opportunity in the homes of England. .

A long discussion took place On the propoeed revision of the Deed. Poll, and this wee preceded by a resolntion to the effect that in our opinion owing to the present trend to-ward union among • the Methodist Churches, and the abnormal conditions brought about by the war, it is in-advisable to proceed further with the matter at present,. Alter this, and some lively debates, most of the ;no-visions were apgroved, with a few suggested modifications. The consideration of the proposed alterations in the Model Deed and the drat of deed fir ministers' house. was deferred to a later meeting. Rev. S. Horton received a warm welcome.

Bradford and Halifax. A special District Committee was held on Friday,

October-13th, at 04 Central Hall, Bradford, to- consider the drat of theproposed new Deed Poll, Rev. T. P. Ellis in the chair. Mr. J. Brearley, J.P., and Rev. W. Dickin-son ga.lectlexposition, of the proposed new Deed Poll as it relates to the property, of the Church, the Church nierithership, 'officials and court. The proposals were Marta* approved; the only recommendation which it was decided to forwent was that of the eight persons to be aPponited by Contemnce four should be lay membhre. It was unanimously affirmed that the proposed alterations and additions of the Deed Poll and the Model Chapel Deed were very desirable. The greatest interest was Mani-- fatted in the proposals for the i.tatement of the doctrines of the Mirth. • Remit was felt that the recommendations of the Committee could not carry the assent of the Church, In a eery able Thinner, with-commendable 'courage and in a fine spirit the proposal( were explained by Rev. W. R. Wilkinson, He carried with • him the"arsanimous judg-Meet of the Committee that the propooals were and liable, to grave miscinderrianding. Lit restatement of doctrine is necessary to meet the modern situation, it was felt that it should be .simple statement of eesentia evangelical fact, and 'not a presentation calculated to stir tip controversy which ought not to be at the Theme.

As an alternative to the proposed alterations Mr. Wil-kinson put forward a aeries of Valuable -euggeetions which were zegarded as more likely to secure the concurrence of the Church. They are as follows :—(1) The religions • , tenets and doctrines professed and believed by the mem-bers of the said Connexion or Chuith are contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New 'Testaments, which,. through the Divine guidance of their writers, are a Bah-cleat record and interpretation of the nature and will of God.• They are as follows There is one God, perfect in holiness and love, revealed'. the Father, the Son; and the Holm Spirit. (2) Man ie the child of God and endowed with moral freedom. Through the misuse of this freedom he hoe fallen into sin and condemnation. (3) The Lori Jesus Christ is the Incarnate Son of God. He has revealed the love of God and made atonement for the sins of the whole world by and death and resurrection.' (4) Thole who repent of their sine and believe with the heat in the Lord Terme Christ are justified by faith and are born again -of the Holy Spirit (6) The Holy Spirit Marines of raps and dwells in believe.] to give the insurance Of Sorokin- in illumine and sanctify. (6) All who are thus renewed form the Holy Catholic Church of which 'Jesus Christ is alone the Head. (7) At death the spirits of all men will xise into the unseen world. The Lord Jesus Christ will be the Judge To the go. He will give life and blessedness, to the wicked condemnation and punishment, • •

Whilst fully in accord with Mr. Wilkineon'e atanatiye restatement, if any restatement is absolutely necessary at the present, it wan felt that the time was not opportune for any Interference with the present doctrines, and' a resolution to that effect was carried. It was further felt that no final decision on the alteration-of doctrine should be taken without reference again to the Districts. Fifty members eve. present at the Cominittee. . • •

Yon are no better for being clever; if you are ally, you may be worm, and some clever people an vary tally, yet they aren't clever enough to know it.

One Lord. had just fed the 5,000, multiplying the slender provision until the needs of all ere minded Me longed-for quiet which led Him into je desert place He had not yet meowed, for the people bad quickly

.followed Him. Evening came, and found Him offianded with the -exciting eventeof the day, depressed at the news of John's cruel death, and disappointed at the rhea' makinialiethof disciplee and crowd' alike, who saw no sacrament in thO bread He bad provided, bid only a sign confirming their suspicion that He wee Israel's Medial and a benevolent bread king. So He constreined His disciples to croft the lathe in the boat while He dismissed the multitude. Then He naught that quiet rsting-plisce. with Hie Father for Which His soul thawed. •

But they were not out of Hie eight. Refre.shed by fallowehip with the Father, the plan of the morrow's revelation settled, His thoughts travelled over the waters to the little band drearily wrestling with the enchained forces of Natore. He crowed to them, walking on the ma, and made as though He would have gone births. He me tatting their faith. His disciples saw Him, bet, thinking. it was ag5t, feared tei greet Hill.. A cry of alarm passed their lips Jesus Jesus heed and re- lieved team, "Be of cheer, it is. I ; be not afraid." As He entered their boat the dorm ceased. Amassment oilseed them. They understood not—not even concerning the miracle of yesterday. Slowly the human heart understands the impact of the Divine. 1.11 a myriad voices Nature spathe to as of God, and we are deaf to its message. Lidos; in an atmosphere of miracle we are insensible to its meaning. The spiritual eipi-Joan. of the feeding and of the walking on the sea failed to penetrate their understanding. Their hearts were hadened, crested with preconceptions of a Jewish Neenah and a temporal kingdom.

What special lessons did Jesus etch to teach His -disciples by thin manifestation( of His power, for this miracle, like the preceding. one, wee not haphomard, but purposeful? (1) He shows Himself Lord of the forcer of Nature. The winds and waves obey Him. The lord of Nature is not its servant but its Mader ; He is not lost in ita procteser, but Lord of its processes. (2) He declare. tleat;rthough He was out of Hie disciples' eight, they were noront of His care. "I will not leave you comfortlese, I will come to you." Though

ft8 THE PRIMITIVE METHODIST LEADER. OCTOBER 19, 1910

If you read

THE PRIMITIVE METHODIST LEADER Or then you should also read

The Christian BRIGHTEST AND BEST OF ALL THE RELIGIOUS WEEKLIES.

Editor—Rev. J. STUART HOLDEN, M.A., D.D.

EVERY THURSDAY - ONE PENNY.

Read what a Well-known London Minister says :— /T I have read THE CHRISTIAN for more than a quarter of a century, and always enjoyed it much. For

the knowledge of the extension of Christ's Kingdom in all lands it is indispensable. But last week's CHRISTIAN was PAR EXCELLENCE gems flashed from every page. If diamonds, then one diamond differeth from another in brilliance. Finney's words to the great Free Church leader, Dr. Clifford, " Why, you are a Revivalist yourself "—it explains much. Yes, for over fifty years the holy passion has burned and blazed in the soul of the great leader. .

Q Then the sermon by Rev. E. S. Woods informs, guides and inspires ; and also sparkles- and illtralinea. From Chesterton " Christianity has not been tried and found wanting ; it has been found difficult, and not tried." And from Rupert Brooke :

Honour has come back, as a king, to earth, And paid his subjects with a royal wage,

And Nobleness walks in our ways again : And we have oomo into oar heritage.

Q The article on "The German Professorial Mind" is surely a timely word for the Ra'tionalists, who could never believe anything unless it came froin Germany. Here is a gem of the first water " Protestant Germany has become almost heathen owing to the credulity of a theological prefessorship, which reminds one of the story of Charles the Second, who said to a sceptic of his time : You are a queer fellow ; you believe everything but the Bible.'"

And who is J. S. H , who gives us "A Sunday in Edinburgh " ? We enjoy as if present the ministry of Professor Jackson and Dr. Jowett. Professor Jackson's prayer : " Let not the constancy of Thy grace blind us to its reality." Then the sermon, based on the incident of the Three Hebrew Children in the fire, which lie used as a parable of the current experience, alike of men and nations : " All are passing through the testing flames, and the important question for each is as to what the .fire is doing. Some are losing everything therein except their bonds ? Others, through the fire, are losing their bonds and being made free."

dr Then again we have Dr. Jowett in Free St. George's. We know he is a "master in Israel " ; -but every reader of J.S.H.'s account will feel it more than ever. Taking as his text Paul's unthinkable hypothesis "If Christ be not raised from the dead": "this was Paul's habitual method— t3 turn out a light; and'see how the world looked without it." And then he asked : "Haw do you like the old world with the resurrection light blown out 1 " But Dr. Jowett, who described . Paul as the buoyant apostle, could not end on any note save that of the highest confidence, and finished on the opposite assumption, "If Christ be rWen":— " Our preaching is not empty ; your faith is not vain ; ye are no longer in your sins ; those who have fallen aslpep are safe in Christ Jesus ; we who believe are of all men to be congratulated." •

dIT The writer adds " To this victorious note the great congregation dispersed." And with that note also I close ; and with warmest thanks to the Editors, for a paper so INSPIRING, UPLIFTING, INFORMING, and ILLUMINATING. _

SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS, CLASS LEADERS AND OPEN-AIR PREACHERS WILL FIND. THE CHRISTIAN INVALUABLE.
