"But perhaps I could put up some

"Perhaps ye could. There's Steve

found that ye didn't vote his way"
"But what am | to do 2"
"Waal, I'm a squar' man, stranger,

aloofncss, OF the minister typined and
increased by his very dress and
bearing, has become pretty much
thing Of the past In Protestant churches
Today the minister is more n man among
men. He has dropped the prlestly gnrb and
manner, and moves and mingles with the
world at the level Of its own best and truest
life. Without resighing any moral fibre or
essential dignity he comes closer to human
fty than ever before, because he no longer
stands upon his little ecclesiastical platform,
but walks side by side with men, touches
them Mt elbow and shoulder, and faces them
with level eyes.

has had his higher education In the human

Round us on every side are cramped,
hindered still-born lives-merchants who
should have been painters, clerks who should
have been poets, labOrers who should have
been philosophers. Their talent is known
TO few friends they die, and the talent Is
buried In their coffin. Jesus says no. IL
has at last been sown for the harvest II will
come into the open and blossm in another
land. There are also being trained-trained
by waiting. They are the reserve OF the race,
kept behind the hill till God requires it,
They will get their chance they will come
into their kingdom.
