she became its pastor. This was ten
years ago, and during that time the
chuich has steadily increased In num-
bers, popularity and influence. IL now
includes a large congregation Of wealth,
culture and refinement, whose members
lend hand in many different lines Of
the home missionary work which offers
an ever abundant harvest In and about
ell large cities. In the amount of this
kind Of work which It accomplishes l
think Miss Kollocks church is, for its
size, exceptional. This may be account.
ed for from the fact that much larger
proportion Of her congregation than is
usual are men.
Miss Frances E. Willard, I'm her "Wo-
men in the Pulpit" declares that when
women are freely allowed to enter the
ministry the preponderance Of church
members will not, as now, be women,
but that men, IL not in the majority,
will at least be equal in number with
women. However this may be, 1t is
certainly true that the number of men is
fully equal to the number Of women in
Miss Kollock's congregation.
As fearless as she Is earnest, her gen.
crous, loving charity is always equal to
the demands upon 1t. She meets the
young with the ready understanding
and sympathy which insures confidence,
and the erring with the strong, helpful,
hope inspiring encouragement which set
their feet in better ways.
At one time knew Of her taking up
the cause of a woman who had been the
subject of a public scandal, but who was
at the time leading an exemplary life.
She defended her with an eloquence and
power of which Portia herself might
have been proud The matter came up
before an organized body Of women, and
in no uncertain way Miss Kollock de.
clared that no man or woman had any
right to exceed in severity the judgment
of Jesus, who said to the woman Ego
and sin no more;" that the only cardinal
difference between the righteous and the
wicked is that while the former repent
the latter do not, and that any human
being who places difficulties In tho way
of those who desire to make their future
better than their past is unchristian, nay
more, inhuman. After hearing this de-
fense 1t was no longer wonder to me
that the Rev. Florence Kollock has car.
ried forward q work of such far reach.

accomplished.

quire the art OF master like Professor
Thompson TO read tho nose of the ex-

"In G the types arc more unmistakable

"There is one other subdivision Of tho
first or prominent type. Il may be said
TO be large, straight nose, without
humps, curves or extraordinary size at
