HIS GREAT FRIENDS Dr. Parker was intimate with the leading men of his day. Among his friends were Gladstone, Beecher and Prof. Huxley.

It all agnostics were as reverent as Prof. Huxley was, they would greatly promote the elucida- tion of their distinctive views. Prof. Huxley Was the author of the word ‘agnostic.’ Eb wonderful face Was itself a. sermon,-â€"no frivollty ever turned those solemn dark eyes into an expression of silly merriment." Dr. Parker finished his' autobioâ€" graphy in 1899 and toward the close of the book he says: 'fl‘Soon, mayhap toâ€"morrow, w- night. I may. see the King !

Frequently he re-'- counts cases of desertion and panic ammg his own men when his en- treaties Siamtoking were all of no avail. Dewet pays tribute to Gen. Cronje for his bravery, but declares he lost at. Paardeberg only on ac- count of his total obstinacy in not leaving the laager as he was advis- ed to by Gen. Both: and by the writer himself. Wing his own torus, Dewet writes : “It was far easier to fight against the great English army than agiimt treachery among my own people. and an ironrwill was requir- ed to fight against both.
