A reproof which was just and not dis
courteous was once addressed to young
rector who had been reared under the
highest of church doctrines, and who
held that clergymen of all other denomi-
nations are without authority and not
entitled to be called ministers Of the
Gospel One evening at a social gather.
ing he was introduced to Baptist
clergyman, He greeted the elder man
with much manner and ostentation.
"Sir," he said, II am glad to shake
hands with you as a gentleman, though
cannot admit that You are clergy
man. There was moments pause
and then the other said, with a quiet
significance that made the words he left
unHaia emphatic, "sir, | am glad to
shake hands with you as Clergyman. :

There were three patriarehs Abraham,
