Christ" This biography has enjoyed
wider popularity than any other
life of the Savior ever written. Its
author was for years the foremost
clergyman in the English church.
The deans daily life was active and
varied. He was chaplain of the house
CT commons and preached once each
Sunday in Westminster Abbey to a
crowded house. The literary activity
OF the dean was surprising. He wrote
number of stories of school life,
series of pathological works. several
college textbooks, many theological
treatises, essays on the social and
sociological problems of the time. be-
sides volumes of sermons galore. The
liquor traffic claimed large share
of his attention. Few men in Eng
land were more aggressive in fighting
the evil by hand, voice and pen.
