He gave briefly, the results of these findings, in their .rela‘tianship to our \interpretation of the Old Testament. In the evening he spoke on “The Quest of the Soul,” text, Heb. 11: 10. Taking Abraham as a type of the whole race, the speaker sought to show the universality of the re- ligious quest. The true quest of the soul is not xfor merchandise, but lf'C'I' that which is more labidinig. The city is 'the symbol of the true religious life. (Companionship is around :in the city, rather than in a nomadic life such as A‘brahlam liv-a ed, yet the deepest loneliness is1 ~found in the city Where the great multitude masses us 'by without; recognition. Abraham sought a city “which hath foundations,” per- manent. Here the speaker cited instances from life to show the destroying power of sin, and the restoxative and preservative prow- er or the religion of Jesus Christ. On Sunday morning, the 'theme was “The Supremacy of Jesus,” based on Phil 2:10. He spoke of the supremacy of {the message. Many of the great religious teach- ers of this World have spoken mes- sages which have had much truth in them, .but the message of Jesus is :beyond comparison with the message of any other 'teacher. Three characteristics of the mes- sage Of Jesus were specially noted, larg-eness calmness. and kindness. Jesus is also supreme in his per-‘» sonality.

One of his succes- sors, Charles II., had the vaguest ideas about the geography of his own empire. It is reported, on excellent authority, that when the French took Mons, the great town and fortress of Flanders, he congratulated the Mars quis 'd’Harcourt upon a victory over the English heretics. Flanders was Spanish territory at the date. bark to conquer England. Among other advantages it was “only twelve miles from London.” Philip II. was not more skilled in geography than in other matters, but he suspected an error here, and wrote on the margin, “1 don’t understand about this Waterford twelve miles from London. Make inquiry.” One of his succes- sors, Charles II., had the vaguest At any rate, blunders as grotesque have been committed by persons in- finitely more responsible than an actor-dramatist. Perhaps the descrip' tion of Bombay by the great Lord Clarendon is the most pleasing ex- ample. When urging the advantages of a marriage between Charles II. and Katherine of Braganza upon the Privy Council, he wrote that the al- liance "proposed to give the English nation a free trade with Brazil (sic) in the East Indies. . . . And for- ever to annex to the crown of Eng- land the Island of Bombay, with the towns and castles thereon, which are within a very little distance of Bra- zil.” Apparently the Privy Council saw nothing wrong, for when Francis Gwyn, who inherited the Clarendon manuscripts, published them, some fifty years later, he included this document, without any comment of his own or that august body. Prob- ably Charles himself was not better informed when be granted the East Indian Company a perpetual lease of the islandfifor $50 yearly. 1 l sion; though published in 1622, after 5 his death, it was certainly known: many years before, and Shakespeare! might have seen it.
