You can judge man more truly by how he gives than almost anything else. e is the man who acts generously and promptly, and who gives the im- Pression that you are conferring a privi- lege on him by giving the opportunity. Then there is the man who figures it 3 out carefully and ig Just al hal what he is able. en there is the fel- low whose brow wrinkles as, without arguing the question, he pulls out his cheque book, and the very way he writes out the cheque proclaims you a nuisance. Next we have the man who has fo be coaxed, or who gives because he finds out that some one else in the same class has given and he must follow the lead. * Then there comes the follow who by his talk gives the impression that he is always giving and who whines about the numerous "claims" on his purse, winding up by telling you about a second-hand organ that he used for a generation and donated at its original value to a niission. Then there is the man to whom giving is as foreign as volapuk. He has no more idea of the claims upon him of those about him. than. a "heathen Chinee" has of the nebular hypothesis. But the first giver is worth all the rest with a few extra soulless givers thrown in. Put that down. ------ + Those Good Old Days. The world is more reverent if mot growing better altogether. In the "good old days" churchmen were permitted to smoke throughout the sermon. Launce- lot Blackburn, Lord Archbishop of York and Primate of England, inter- rupted his sermon at a confirmation at the churchwarden to bring fresh pipes and tobacco to the pulpit. Dean Swift, the elequent divine and famous author, was wont to smoke throughout his sermon of a Sunday, occasionally refreshing himself with a glass of port. Bishop Duncan, of Dundee, is described as- having been so economical that he made a practice of going to church without his tobacco pouch, and after ascending the pulpit, of inquiring who améng the congregation would accommodate him with theirs.

O'Meara, appointed prin- cipal of Wycliffe college, is still a young man, but 'one of tested and well-ap- Jroved qualifications.. He is son of the te Canon O'Meara, of Port Hope, whose long ministry, added much to the record of the family for service to the church. Three of his sons were giv- en to the priesthood. The new princi- pal was for years assistant to the late Canon Sanson, rector of Trinity Church, Toronto, and succeeded him. Concur- rently he has been actively working for the college, and to his personal work and popularity is due.a large share of its support. He has several times pleaded its: cause successfully in Eng- land with so good an impression that he was offered a missionary . bishopric. His capacity for work, executive skill and spirituality and zeal will command success in his new and dignified post. In the death of Archdeacon Taylor, aged 8s, at Aigburth, Liverpool, the ev- angelical section of the Church of Eng- land loses a staunch champion. The Bishop of London's mission in the North end was a repetition of the large gatherings, earnest services and popular demonstjations shown last Lent in West jon. Shortly before midnight the tower of All Saints' church, Stanton, Suffolk, collapsed, but fell clear of the church; the entrance to which was blocked - by the ruins. Though half of the Mohammedan pop- ulation of the world, (250,000,000) is under Christian rule not one-sixtieth of them have been reached by Christian missionary, ; In Spanish America the Indians -are in numbers practically what they were at the conquest.

The, sur- render of a lucrative law practice for the hard life of a northern missionary is an inspiring example and should bring fruit far beyond the personal ac- tion.

English Wesleyan foreign missions department has had two successive year- ly deficits, and the sad work of re- trenchment has set in, with disheart- ening effect on missionaries.

"The only intolerable burden is ego- tism and selfishness," said Dean Rob- bins, of Hartford, Conn.; "to be shut up with our own aches and pains, doubts and struggles, until we become hypochondriacs, morbid, - hopeless and despairing. It is when we get out of ourselves and into the lives of others that we become free men." As a result of a great convention of the United Presbyterian church, held at Pittsburg, Penn, a Men's League has been formed for the study of church problems, especially of the unchurched pulation.. A rich unworked vein has Pom struck in the field of enterprising young Christian manhood. Even a few men in a congregation can work a transformation. Rev. H. S. Uang, Chinese ministerial worker in a Presbyterian church of San Francisco, has returned to Canton and started "The Self-Dependent Church of Jesus Christ in China," upon a fund of $12,000 contributed if America by his countrymen. Meetings have been stir- red by the cry "China for the Chinese," showmg a political rather than a re- ligious purpose. Old Time Church.

Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, Madison, Henry, Marshall, Mason, Tyler, Bland, Lee and many others. The present church was built in 1715, in the rectorship of Commissary Blair, official representative in Virginia of the lord mayor of London, and the founder and first president of the College of William and Mary. The work of res- toration left unchanged 'the exterior, but the interior, changed and distorted because of conditions which no longer exist, was restored to its ancient form, and architecture to be transmitted to generations as.it was planned and uscd by the founders of the . little colony. The church still uses the original font and communion service of the James- town church and a set of communion silver presented to the parish by.

A remarkable scene was presented at Mansion House on the annual méeting of the East London Church Fund. Long before the hour announced - the gates were besieged, and hundreds failed to secure admission. The Bishop of Step- ney was 'responsible for the anecdote of the occasion. Speaking of the difficulty the working man has in! understanding the language of the Prayer Book, Dr. Lang was reminded of a devout church worker, who, standing sponsor at bap- tism, and asked, "Dost thou in the name of this child renounce the devil and all his works?" replied, "I recommend them all" If one of their most devout lay workers could not distinguish between "renounce" and "recommend," what a difficulty, said the bishop, the Elizabeth- an Prayer Book must present to the or- dinary working man. It scems a novel idea to invite the pew to enlighten the pulpit. Yet such 1s the plan hit upon by Rev. W. E, Lew- is, Clapham, in a series of sermons on the Lord's Prayer. "He was unable to fathom the meaning of "Lead us not in- to temptation," because temptation was one of the best aids to the development of Christian character. Nor could he agree that it was a mere matter of punc- tuation, and that the reading should be: "Lead us, not into temptation." Finally, the preacher asked his congregation to think the matter over, and let him have their. explanations. A story by that famous riconteur, the late Dean Hole, carries its own moral. It is of the vicar who went to preach for a friend, and in the vestry afterwards said, "I must apologize for the brevity of my sermon, but our fox-terrier got into my study last night and ate several pages of my manuscript." At this the churchwardens giggled, but one of them, bolder 'than the rest, remarked, "You couldn't let our parson have a, pup, could you?" of the The Curate's Romance.
