where there is vision the people shall
not perish, then the coming and de-
parture of each Christian year shall
bring higher life into the world, and
bring man in each new generation to
something better and diviner. The
Christian religion is just coming to be
understood. We are learning that all
things true are Christian, and that
Christian includes all things pertain
ing to right living, and that the mis-
sion of Christ was to give man his
freedom-not to build up institutions,
frame theologies, to teach social the
ories-but to aid man to reach the
highest intellectual, moral and spirit
ual life attainable in the time and
amid the environments where God
has placed him. When his disciples
shall have learned this, then shall the
Lord have come again.

In the course of some "reminiscences
Of orators and preachers given in a lee
ture on Platform and Pulpit During
the Last Fifty Years." al Clayham, re-
Gently, DR.. Guinness Rogers, of Eng
land, made reference to the way in
which apocryphal stories gather round
public men. He told several amusing
stories, in which he was said to have
figured, but which he declared to be
utterly false. Incidentally he repeated
story which, although untrue, was al
ways told in connection with Rev. DR..
Mellor. This we'll known preacher was
once caught in violent rain storm on a
Yorkshire moor, and accepted the hospi-
tally of good-hearted Yorkshireman,
who equipped him with suit of clothes
while Dr. Mellor's garments were drying
in the kitchen. DIR. Mellor was coming
downstairs after DOMINIC the borrowed
clothes, when the house wife came out Of
another room. She had the family Bible
in her hand, her evident intention being
to invite the preacher to read portion
from the Scriptures before retiring.
MisIaking DR.. Mellor in his borrowed
garments for her husband, she lifted the
family Bible and banged him on the
head as he walked in front of her down
the stairs, observing: "Sithee, take
that for askin' him for t. stay a. neet!7
No doubt the story has its foundation
in fact.
