Prince Max of Saxony is not the
FIRST, even in modern days, of princes
who have taken to the ministry of
the church as their life work
Prince Max Of Saxony comes from
an old Catholic family and came to
work among the large band of Ger
man Catholics in the Whitechapel
district. Speaking both German and
English fuently, he has been of
great service to stranded foreigners
IN that overcrowded part of London.
HIS sermons are of an average
length, extempore, of course, per-
suasive and indicative of much
Thought.
There is an example Of an English
prince becoming a clergyman. Car

James Edward Stuart, and hence

.one of the most effective royal
preachers of today is Prince Oscar.
the nephew of the king Of Sweden,
who has joined the Salvation Army
division in that country. Both he
and his wife, the princess, conduct
meetings in the open air in Stock
holm and elsewhere, which, of
course, draw immense crowds.

mar. 1t may be fresh in the memory
Sf cur readers that some few years
ago the prince attended the jubilee
Of the Young Mems Christian asso-
seation in London and addressed a
meeting there.
THAT famous man OF many parts,
the German kaiser, is said to have
moro than once preached to his
oyn private family, though there is
no record of his having done SO pub
Eiely from the pulpit. But it is we'll
known that he has on several occa-
scns given the court chaplains both
subjects and directions for their ser
YnOfs.
4Of English peers there are several
well known members, the heads of
famous families, who are either
e3ergymen or who frequently ad-
dress religious meetings.
One OF the best known and most
widely respected of these is the ven
erable Earl of Devon, who is the
rector of Powderham. near Exeter.
His lordship had been a clergyman
for some years before, and by the
death of the last earl he became pos
seasorof his present title. Like most
younger relativeso of a peers family,
he had entered holy orders as his
profession, and in due course been
lnducted into one Of the family liv-
7ngp.
The Marquis. of Normandy Of
MpIgraye castle, NflYitl,y, is not only
a clergyman who breaches elo-
qusntly. but is private schoolmas-
ter of high repute in the north.
Probably his addresses to youths Of
good position have laid the founda-
fipn Of his effective sermons to older
people. All any rate, few aristocratic
preachers have equal renown in
northern England.
Lord Radstock has long been
known for his deep interest in all
kinds of evangelistic work. He has
had a wide experience of mission
work in large towns and in slum
districts in many parts of the coun--
tpy, and there are few preachers of
the aristocracy who are listened to
with more respect and attention.
His sermons are marked by thought
fal treatment, by THEN; clear lucidi-
ty and by their intense earnestness
in setting forth gospel truths.
Lord Overtoun's name is we'll
known in Scotland and no Scottish
peer has more practical experience
OF preaching than his lordship.-
