The Power of the Press of To-day Started © in Small Ways. Queen Anne reigned in England between 1702. and 1714, and daring this period the first daily newspaper, the Daily Courant, found its way isto print. It was an inky, badly' printed little sheet, sot much bigger than a man's hand, In regard to the diminu- tive size the publisher excused himself by announcing in the first edition that it was small in order "to save the publick. at least one-half the Imipertinences of : Ordinary Newspapers." By "Ordinary Newspapers" was meant the abusive political pamphlets written by Dean Swift and Daniel de Foe. There had also been publications got out during'the Cram- well wars when it was said that each army carried its own printing press. First among these was the Weekly News; but none be- fore the advent of the Daily Courant oowld be called a newspaper in the real sense of the word. A few years later Addisod 'sfartéd the Spectator. Each nymber censisted of an es- say poking fun at the follies of the age. In these early newspapers the editors dared not print a line of parliamentary debate, and the news columns were restricted to the fullest extent. The first newspaper in America was suppressed by the Puritanic government of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. From these humble beginnings the great and powerful press of to-day had its origin. As a matter of fact the gentleman of the early eighteenth century picked what news and gossip there was at his club or the coffee houses, or through what secret information might have been imparted to him by his valet who learned the news from "other gentlemen's gentlemen." Small as the Daily Courant was, the editor had trouble enough to fill it and still more trouble to sel} it. THE. ENCHANTED SHIRT. Col. John Hay. The King was sick.

Benson, who knows all about epise copal Hie from the fact of being the son of the late Archbishop of Canterbury, has this to say, among Other things, of Bishops and what they are and ought to be: ky A Bishop ought to be in personal touch with all his clergy. He ought to visit all thel parishes, and make acquaintance, if possible, with subordinate Church workers. It. ene courages and stimulates parochial life and energy, 'it gives & sense of pastoral authority; and the desire of Church people to 'see and hear and know their Bishop is entirely reas. onable and tommendable. But this involves an immense strain. There are men of ready sympathy, quick memory for detail, perfect tact, and a power of kindly personal speech, who can do it 'without undue pressure. But it would not be well for the Church if 'it were felt that all Bishops must be of this and of no other type. Bishop Lightfoot, for in- stance, had no small talk, was shy, and had not a very good memory for faces. Yet he was a great and effective Bishop. But a Bishop ought not to be a mere gramophone of kindly platitudes. He ought to be able to uplift, convince, surprise, inter- est, to amuse, to give his andiénce something tern of intellectual and spiritual force is be- ing for ever depleted, and never filled, how can the stream be anything but thin and Tanguid? A Bishop ought to be able to put social, religious and practical problems in a clear light, and help men to form a just and wise judgment on them. But to do this it is not enough to skirmish through the papers. A Bishop ought to be able to read and to talk out subjects, and ought particularly to see men of widely differing views; he ought not to be content with merely talking ee- clesiastical shop with clergy who agree with Im, or arguing ritual questions with clergy who do not agree with him. . He ought to}. know what politicians and Socialists and Nonconformists are doing and saying. Half our misunderstandings are caused by an ab- sence of free discussion; because i will gen- erally be found that most social reformers are really aiming at the same end, though they use diffegent methods and call things 'names, A Bishop ought to be abreast of all this,checause above all really worth thinking about.

But he cannot do all this unless Ye unders stands what his supposed opponents are driv- ing at; and thus he ought to have a wide and first-hand acquaintance with all social and religious theories of work. If he has not this, he sacrifices quality of work to quantity, and supports civic respectability rather than Christian progress. . Now that the frank secularity of feudal and Whig Bishops is gone, it is in danger of being succeeded by another subtle kind of secularity, namely, that of trivial administrative detail.

In seven parishes within a mile of city boundary, out of a population of 53,000} souls, 37,000 are of the Hebrew race, - and in 1887 the late Rev. Michael Rosenthal, vicar of. St. Mark's, Whitechapel, founded the Hebrew Guild of Intercession. The members are largely Hebrews to whom the founder had ministered as head of the' East London Mission to the Jews. Since Mr. Rosenthal's death the Guild has been carried on in con- nection with the East London Fund for the|: Jews, the council recognizing its spiritual help to Hebrew Christians. The object of the guild is "to help Hebrew Christians in their efforts to show forth in their lives the reality of their belief, and to aid them in helping each other to hold fast the Holy Faith of the Catholic Church, to walk in the steps of our Lord Jesus Carist, and to fol- low the example of the Blessed Apostles, ind to further the extension of Christ's Church among the Jews." On the Eve of St. John the Baptist's Day friends and members of the Guild met at St. wrence Jewry to join in the offering of the Holy Mystery on behalf of the work. With the exception of hymns and sermon the ser- vice 'was in Hebrew, arranged and set to Merbecke's music by Rev. H. Heathcote, the celebrant.
