GUS points to secure his refutati0n of

There were two violins, bass viol, dou-

Instruments. q The choir numbered
from thirty to fifty. Mr.. Clark led this
choir for nearly, If not quite, forty
years. Though a deacon Of the church,
he played one of the violins and led the
at the same time. 1t was in

stood upon the hill, behind which were

THE possibilities of diplomacy are
sometimes realized in a most remarka-
BILE manner in the face Of difficulties,
that are apparently unsurmountable.
Never, perhaps in the history Of the
civilized world, has the peaceful discus
sion of great question been brought
about under such conditions as those
that lately darkened the political hori-
zon in Europe. From out Of the smoke
of a great conflict diplomacy has drawn
the Eastern question into the peaceful
precincts Of the Berlin congress hall,
and, instead of settlement being ef-
fected by the issue Of great European
war, the courtesies Of the council room
and the glitter Of royal hospitality win
smoother and brighten the road 70

in the persons Of Bismarck, Gortscha-
koff, Andrassy and Beaconsfield, have
