The Mightier Will.

Bismarck is mighty man; none
mightier than he has lived for many a
decade, and few in all history. His is a
will of iron-one that creates circum.
stances. When, some six months ago,
DR.. Bergeman told him that the Grown
Prince had cancer, his answer was, 1.-The
Crown Prince must not have cancer"
But" " L tell you fercely inter
rupted the man of iron, the Grown
Prince must NOT have cancer" Why
not? For this reason an incurable dis
ease by the law of the German Empire
bars succession to the throne. The doc
tors bowed, and Frederick III. is EN-.
peror. Mightier than the doctors, nigh
tier than the law, and, for the time,
mighher than the dread malady, cancer,
is the will of Bismarck. For the time
yes, but, unfortunately for Bismarck, and
more unfortunately, humanity speaking,
for the new emperor and his ambitious
wife, there is a will back OF nature nigh
tier than that of the iron Chancellor.

Thomas Chalmers.

In person he was stout and almost

Scottish, but it was roughly provincial
and withal he read his dlscourses closely.
Yet over all these disadvantages the force
OF the orator trinmpbed so that even the

that it reminded him more of what one

to the qualities which ] have enumerated
cut also to two characteristics which he
possessed in an almost unparalleled de-.
gree, and which enabled him to make
use Of all these others in any circum-
stances and at all times The first Of
these was his power of abstraction No

himself from surrounding occurrences
and apply himself to the matter which
he had in hand Some of the sermons

Shakespeare and Bacon.

No author probably ever set greater
store than Bacon upon the production of
his brain or was at more pains to see that
1t was neither mangled nor misrepresent-
ed by careless printing or editing.
Neither is there the slightest reason to
believe that he did not take good care
nay, on the contrary, that he was not at
especial pains to insure.-that the world
would be informed of everything he had
written which he deemed worthy to be
preserved. Two years before Bacon
made his will the first or 1923 folio of
Shakespeare plays was published, with
the following title page Mr.. William
Shakespeare's Comedies. Histories, and
Tragedies. Published according to the
True Original Copies. London Printed
by Isaac Jaggard and Ed. Blount, 1923 q"
1t was portly volume of nearly l 900
pages and must have taken many months
probably the best part OF a year to set up
types and get printed of. The printing
of similar tolios in those days was marked
by anything but exemplary accuracy.
But this volume abounds to such excess
in Typographical flaws Of every kind that
the only conclusion in egard to it which
can be drawn is that he printing was
not superintendent by any one competent
to discharge the duty IF the printing
house reader of the present day, but
was suffered to appear With "all the i'm

guish proof sheets az they issue from

itors. Most clearly the proof sheets had
never been read by any man of literary
skill, still less by any man capable Of

spect the book offers marked contrast
to the text of Bacons Works. printed IN

The name of Mr.. H. Grattan Guinness, F. R
G. s., is well known to American readers as one
OF the leading evangelistic workers of Great
Britain. Mr.. Guinness has published several
volumes on Prophecy the first of which, we be-
lieve, was THE APPROACHING END OF THE AGE.
Of which Lord Shaftesbury said 1.-The writer is
evidently man of intense piety unsurpassed
diligence, and great ability" and that during a
recent spell of sickness he had been so impressed
by reading it that he could not resist the desire
he felt to bring it under the serious and imme.
date attention of the public" Subsequently to
this Mr. Guinness published larger work enti-
tied, Light for the Last Days" which was
highly spoken of by the English press.
Messrs. A. G. Armstrong & Son, of N. York,
have brought out a new volume by the same
TON FROM THE STANDPOINT OF PROPHECY,
which consists of eight lectures delivered last
spring under the auspices of the Protestant Ed
vocational Institute in Exeter Hall The idea
of these lectures is that the work of the Refor-
nation requires to be done sfresb" in England
he quotes Sir Robert Peel as saying fifty years
ago, The day is not distant when we shall
have to fight the battle of the Reformation over
again" Mr.. Guinness undertakes to show that
Romanism is clearly foretold in the Old and
New Testaments-by Daniel, by Paul, and by
John. Two of the lectures set forth the inter
probation Of these prophecies in Pre-Reforma-
tion and Reformation times, followed by
third, setting forth the Interpretation Of Post
Reformation times. The concluding lecture
points out the present attitude and expectations
of Romanism IN the United Kingdom and Ire
land, in which the author refers to the Irish
question, and expresses free opinion of "Ritu-
alism." We regard the discussions e this vol
ume as exceedingly important at the present
time. The Church Of Rome is making hercu
lean efforts also in this country to get political
power We hope Mr.. Guinness work will have
a wide circulation. The volume is beautifully
gotten up in paper, type, and binding 8vo,
