DR.. Temple was wont to rule the do
cese of Exeter with an iron hand, and a
tale is told Of a deanery meeting at
which he presided, when the subject for
discussion was 1.-THE Hindrances TO the
Spiritual Life of the Diocese" After the
discussion had proceeded for some time
q vicar electrified his audience by de-
claring that the greatest hindrance TO
the full spiritual life was none other
than the bishop himself. II repeat it,
said the speaker calmly, "our right rev.
crend father in God is very far from be-
ing a father to any of as. Your manner
toward US" he continued. turning to
the bishop, sis harsh in the extreme,
while your method of rule is this: You
treat us all, old and young, as if we
were a set Of schoolboys. This bold
statement drew from the bishop an apol-
ogy. and he explained that beneath his
brusqueness of manner was a very gem
uine sympathy with the work of all the
clergy. This impeachment created the
more sensation in the meeting because
il came from q son Of DR.. Temples pred
ocessor. the famous Henry Of Exeter. -
