 Surprises of the Next World.
 I suppose one of the greatest surprises of the next world will be to see what wide, far-reaching influence for good or evil we have exerted. 1 am speaking pie. But who can fully appreciate the far-reaching good done by men of wealth In Great Britain for the working classes royd of Halifax. Thomas Sikes of Hud- dersfield. Joseph Wentworth and Josiah Mason and Sir Titus Salt?
