Indigestion.

The bean and bread delivery makes the
only excitement of the day. 1t is the event
upon which hangs all other events-the
foundation upon which the. worship and
work of the day are built An how good
these beans and this bread are! Nowhere
else in the world can they be equaled. There
is something touching in the way that Bos-
ton has stuck to its brown bread and beans,
through the innova tions of fashion, the in
ventions of progress, and the derision which
have shaken everything but the bakery.

OTTAWA, July 12-"lt is rather surprising

points, and, furthermore, that DIR. Rex

TWO OLD VETERANS.

At the Michigan Convention at Bay
City, there were present, at every session,
two of our Oldest ministers, long resident
in that State, venerable in years and
honored among all the brethren for faith
full and self-sacrifcing service to our
cause. We refer to Rev. A. W. Mason,
and Rev. Robert Wooden. They took
part in the various deliberations of the
Convention, and were always heard with
pleasure.
Rev. A. W. Mason was born in Che
shire, Berkshire county, Mass, April 5,
1907. In early life Father Mason was a
Baptist, and was baptized in that church
by the celebrated John Leland. He be-
came Universalist and preached his first
sermon July 10, 1910, in Hancock, Mass.
He came West in 1852, settling at Pulas-
XII, Jackson county, where he resided for
thirty years, preaching in various places
as missionary, where we now have Uni
versalist parishes Concord, Hillsdale,
Liberty, etc. He was also pastor at
Markesan, Wis, from 1875 to 1881. Fa-
Their Mason now resides at Mount Pleas
ant, and makes his home with his chill
drep. He is in hale and hearty old age,
and while waiting for the call to go up
higher" is by no means an idler in the
vineyard, preaching the good word of the
kingdom as opportunity offers and always
to the profit of those who hear him.
REV. ROBERT WOODEN was born June
%. 1912. He commenced preaching in
Chill, Monroe county, N. Y, in 1841. He
came West in 1916, and settled in Cam
bridge, Lenawee county, Mich, on the
farm on which he now resides. He has
been a resident of Michigan for forty
one years. He has preached extensively
in the State, and has held pastorates at
Lambertville, Blissville, and Hudson,
never, however, moving his home. He has
attended all the sessions of the Michigan
Convention since 1916, with two excep-
tions. The presence of these aged brothers
was benediction on the Bay City meet
ing. May their last days prove their best;
and when finally summoned home, may
they pass away rejoicing in the triumph
of the faith they have SO faithfully
preached. Michigan will revere and
honor their memory.

A correspondent thus describes
Canon Liddop, the noted English preach
er and the services at st. Pauls in Lon
don: "The order and silent reverence here
were in marked contrast with the confu-
sion and coughing and busting at Spur
geon's church. The Canon appeared in
white gown, which seemed quite in har-
mony with his pure and beautiful face.
He is very handsome and has remark
ably fine voice, which rings through the
great cathedral like the notes Of the bugle
among the mountains of Killarney. But
the echoes borne back from the lofty
dome and the deep recesses, somewhat
disturb the effect"

LET THE HEATHER REST.

Indeed, for the sake of the heather them
selves, they ought to be allowed to rest in ig-
norance. Unless they accept the religion
which is preached to them, they lose the
happy chance of future probation enjoyed by
those who are so fortunate as to live out of
the reach of missionaries on this theory, as
the converts are few in comparison with the
millions who hear and refuse the establish
ment of a mission is equivalent to the con-
signment of many souls to perdition. They
might otherwise finish a peaceful pagan ex-
istence here, and in the hereafter attend to
the religious duties necessary for their per-
manent comfort.-Boston Post.
