TO PREACH IN ST. PAUL's.
Archbishop of Canterbury's Request to
the Bishop of Mississippi.


Jackson, Miss. May 15.-The Right
Rev. DIR. Hugh Miller Thompson, Pro
testant Episcopal Bishop of Mississippi,
has heen invited by the archbishop of
Canterbury to preach the anniversary
sermon for the Society for the Propaga-
ton of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, in
st Paul's Cathedral, London, on June
23. This society is the oldest missionary
organization in the world and had much
to do with the planting of Trinity
Church, New York. 200 years ago The
sermon by Bishop Thompson is part of
the programme of the Lambeth Confer
ence and st. Augustine celebratirn
which extends over the last few days of
June and nearly all of the month of July,
and which will probably bring together
the largest number of bishops of the
Anglican communion ever assembled.
Bishop Thompson has also, on the nom
nation of the vice-chancellor, been asked
to preach the Whitsunday sermon before
the University of Oxford on June 6. He
has accepted both invitations, and ex-

LtvinGstone's Boyhood.

Janet Livingstone, who died recently in
Edinburgh, was the younger sister of the
great African explorer, David Livingstone.
She told many quaint stories of her BROTH
er's boyhood. Once when six years old he
staid out beyond the prescribed hours, and
on returning home found the door barred,
a punishment for the second transgression
of the kind. David made no fuss, and his
father, when he opened the door some time
later, found the young hopeful sitting on
the doorstep munohing penny loaf.
"l'm having my SUPPER" he observed
resignedly to his astonished parent.
"Mother has shut me out. -
Livingstone senior was as great phil
oeopher as his son. One day David brought
home the news that heavy duty was to
be put on tobacco.
Neil Livingstone, who was not a rich
man, was just lighting his pipe as the
news was broken. He put it down un-
lighted.
If we have to give it up" he said, 1--WE
may as we'll begin now" He never
smoked again.-Youth' Companion.

The Intelligent Jury.

Il don't believe everything hear about
the ignorance Of the average jury" said
an old lawyer in reminiscent mood, "but
once, when I visited backwoods court in
the mountains of North Carolina, l did
happen on an incident that shook my faith
for time The case was before a squire
and the prisoner was up for hog stealing.
1t was the rudest court and surroundings l
ever got into, and I should not have heen
surprised at anything, but l was. After
a couple of jack leg lawyers had got in
what they had to say the court turned the
case over to the jury, and it adjourned to
a barn to decide the innocence or guilt Of
the prisoner. And such a jury! l can
never forget what motley gang that jury
was. In half an hour it came back and
resumed it's place in court.
Have you found verdictp' asked the
squire.
=" What's that?' responded the foreman.
"'Have you found a verdict? That's
what replied the SQUIRE
why, SQUIRE, hesitated the foreman,
with foolish grin, we didn't know thar
wuz one lost; did we, boys?' And even
that court couldn't stand it, but got up
and swore "-Detroit Free Press.

AUTHOR AND CRITIC,


The Writer Was Not Worrying Much Over
the Terrible Roasting He Got.
The young author had his feet cooked
up on a table and Was enjoying a cigar
when the book reviewer sauntered into the
club
"You seem wonderfully contented and
at peace with the world for a man who
has been roasted from one end Of the coun-
try to the othe1,' suggested the reviewer,
trif1e put out to think that the hard
whacks he had been giving had produced
no appreciable effect.
my boy" said the young author con-
descendingly, 'those roasts don't worry
me little bit. All you have to do is to
sit down and reason it out, and you'll find
that I'm all right
"They re the hottest roasts any writer
has got this year, returned the reviewer
"Of course they are," admitted the
young author, "but can't you see they're
not for me?'

name"

an illustration. You probably had an idea
that you we're roasting me, but you were
not.'

me" replied the author in an extensively

right. You handled your weapon like
novice. Why, in the very next paragraph
you proved conc)usive]y, according to your
own statement, that the whole book was
plagiarized from several of the best au-
