 Resolved into it's elements, the apeecb mostly said Get together.
 The ministry was wrong, he said, but the Liberals should be very careful how they tried to set 1t aright
 Lord Rosebery declared Great Britain was woeFuiiJ behind her sister nations edLcationally. Her commercial develop. ment was also badly atrophied. He said this reorganization, however, should be postponed until after the war.
 The speakers recipe for the proposed reorganization of the War Ofice was a characteristically American one, namely the appointment of a commission to in vestigate concerning the Government's s conduct of the war.
 Lord Rosebery was severe and scorn- full. He heavily blamed the Government for it's tactlessness Whilst he was em- phatic on the necessity of vigorously pro- scouting the war and expressing the full est confidence in Lord Kitchener, Lord Rosebery said that he thought the Gov ernment should be prepared to listen to peace overtures The three greatest civ iliAns who had waged war fin the past century, the speaker said, were Pitt, Bis marck and Lincoln. and there had not disdained such efforts to secure peace.

THE BIRTH OF A FAMOUS HYMN

Tn the November issue of The Ladies' Home Journal Cleveland Moffet tells how the greatest of all singing evangel- ists, Ira D. Sankey, came to give word hymn that will live long after his voica Is stilied. It was during Moody and Sankey's first visit to Great Britain. As they were entering the train in Glasgow, Mir. Sankey bought copy of penny re- ligious paper called The Christian Age. Looking over it his eyes fell on some verses, the first two lines of which read thus:
 There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the shelter of the field.
 "Mr Moody" exclaimed MT. Sankey 'T have found the hymn that I've been looking for for years.''
 What Is it?" asked MT. Moody.
 Its about e lest sheep
 Two days lateTs In Edinburgh, they held a great meeting In the Free Assembly Hall. As Dr. Bonar finished. MT: Moody leaned over the pulpit and asked the singer if he had not a solo for the occa- sion. The thought of the verses he had read in the penny paper came to Mir. Sankey's mind. and. opening his scrap book, in which he had pasted the clipping, he placed 1t before him on the organ, and, after a moment of silent application, struck full chord and began to sing. And note by note came the now famous song. He composed 1t as he went along. What he sang was the joy that swelled in his own soul. hope that was born. the love for those who needed help. Thus he finished the first stanza.
 Then, as he paused and played a few chords, waiting to begin again. the thought came to him: Can I sing the second stanza as did the first? Can remember the notes?" And concentrat- ing his mind once more for the effort he began to sing. So he went on through for five stanzas, and after the services he put the melody in music.
