but shall be forgiven for this much: The
writer dwelt earnestly upon the year that

the problems of the future, little dreaming
that he was the one who would be called
upon to assist in their solution. In this
letter he confessed that the ambition of
his life was to improve the condition of the
working people, to reconcile the rasping
conflict between those who have and tho SO
who have not, and, above all, to make the
Christian religion real thing He went
on jokingly to lament that some of our
American millionaires did not see fit to
leave him legacies for this purpose, for he
was, he said. always hampered for want
of necessary funds.

He Wanted a Smoke.

An old Welsh preacher in his eightieth

one day driving out with his servant, also
noted for the quantity of tobacco he con-
sumed.
Suddenly the trap overturned, with the
old man underneath, the groom having
succeeded in jumping on to the hedge.
A crowd of men by whom the old man
was almost worshiped at once rushed to
the spot and proceeded to raise the cap
