Because there is no father there.

On that bright and golden shore.

what is known as the Accession sermon.
1t has been preached for scores Of years
on the day Of the accession of the monarch
on the throne. The discourse is delivered
in the cathedral, and the preacher selected
IS only allowed a quarter of an hour for his
sermonizing. For this he secures a fee of
10 guineas.

called, is delivered at Stepney. A bene-

beauties of nature and the delights of gar

minister generally comes to preach this re-

under which 1t is delivered. When he goes
into the pulpit he finds on the desk in front
of him several articles of various descrip-
tons. but all of which are mentioned in the
Bible.
He does not know what articles he is
going to find beforehand, but is required to
give an eXtempore discourse on the spur of
the moment on the things which he sees
bringing in illusions and pointing out les
sons from the various biblical illustrations
before him. 1t will be seen that the preacher
would be In an extremely awkward dilemma

Sordid Novel-Writing.

The pulpit, the press and the novel-these
indisputaby are the great molders of pub
lie opinion and public morals today. The
novel goes into the home to stay. Its in
fluence penetrates every chink and corner
of the family. Yet novelists are not found
wanting who write for money This would
not matter if they wrote the truth. But
their own pocket every time" have dis
covered that for the moment the people
have COMPOUNDED the wrong with the right,
and prefer that which is lie to that which
is true. Every well, then" say these gen.
tlemen. IF they want lie they shall have
it, and they give the people lie In return
for royalties.
The surprising thing about this is that
you and l and all the rest of US do not con-

an editor who sells his editorial columns,
and we revile the pulpit attainted of venal-
