/ remember when a small boy, hear
ing my Uncle, who lived in Glasgow,
tell an anecdote of an experience his
father had on the occasion CT his first
visit to London
In those days rail-roading was an I'M
known quantity and journey from Glas
gov to London an event for grave con-
sideration. 1t was under taken by stages
and occupied as many days as it now
takes hours, and was often frought with
great dangers from knights of the read,
and other causes; the former equaling
the ARIZONA train robbers in audacity
and being second only to the James Bros.
for deeds OF daring. However my un-
cle's father being man of determina-
ton as well as of an inquiring mind re-
solved to visit London town aud explore
the mysteries of the soutbers metropolis
He was daily prayed for in the kirk of
which he was member, aud the aid OF
providence invoked to protect him in his
periious undertaking.
After one or two uniDlportaut adven-
lures he reached London in safety and
the following day being the Sabbath he
made his way to the nearest church,
which naturally happened to he an Epis-
copal one, and OF course my uncle's IA

and ritual Of the church OF England were
entirely new 10 him. 1t happened he IVES

During the time Mr.. Bell was telling
his story several members Of the clut
