The Rev J. Fox spoke of the peculiarity of Londoner.
Cockneys are a people peculiar to themselves, especially
the lower clus, and one of their peculiarities is that they
have • horror of persona. A Christian man got together
a number of East-enders to a meeting, and asked a very
earnest and good man to address them. But he was a
clergyman, and bail a white tie on, and there was a cry
from all parts of the room—" Turn him out A City
Missionary explained the reason—that the clergyman had
• white tie. These people have no objection to • London

of known thieves invited • City Missionary to tea, he went,
and took tea with them, and talked to them, and afterwards

his instrumentality were clothed an tin their right mind.
The city mintionaries meet such people on their own
level, look them in the face, and tells them that in spite
of their degradation Oat loves them still. Such men did
work that he felt he could not do himself; were he put
down in one of these streets, he felt he should entirely
fail. They were wanted with shrewdeese with common
sense, with warmth, and devotion, and they could not do
better than help them city missioneries. (Applause.)
