Now that Luther is under discussion il is in orls,
to recall the fact that great English Reformer.
Wyclif, has never received the recognition to
which he is entitled from his own countrymen.
Professor Loberth, of Germany, has just published
a book showing Wyclfs greatness, and demon.
strating that Huss owed nearly all his theological
ideas to the Englishman, whose works he copied,
often almost literally. There is "Wyclif So.
ciety" in England, but IL is so poor that it cannot

reporter does say that the Majors puis at his cigar
were "annoyingly lengthy" but does net seem to
have been otherwise disturbed at his rather uncOm-
muncative disposition. He had the good taste
however, to be "greatly charmed" with tho
country, and so made " a better impression" upon
the reporter than most Engishmen." 1t appears
that besides being the husband of Mrs. West, he
is the cousin of hr. West, the British Minister at
Washington. He is !" an easy-loOking man. rather
tall, it is true, but with winning face and hest
fancy in his speech which is enga gng." This will
reassure " tall amen who may be doubtful of their
ability to look easy Mr. West, it is pleasing to
know dresses plainly, "the only thing pronounced
being a pair of light-colored shoe-uppers."
