Bishops PiOuS Fraud
Exposed by Editor

At an informal clergymen's dinner
given the other night some excellent
stories current among the local clergy
were related.
One of the most enjoyed was told of
the late esteemed Bishop Latane,
who was sufficiently broad-minded to
enjoy joke even at his own expense.
The bishop was once making
series of visits to the then scattered
parishes of Canada. 1t was summer,
and the clergyman, worn down from
the winters work, resolved to take
advantage Of this opportunity for
mental relaxation and to preach the
same sermon at each of the several
churches visited. So he wrote one
sermon-a good, strong stirring SER
mon, and without another line of
manuscript started on his Journey. 1t
was preached at first at st. John, N.
B., and received the appreciation it
deserved; but its very excellence soon
became a source of embarrassment.
The vestrymen of several parishes
thought the sermon too good to be

lost, and in turn besought the bishop
to allow the whole or portions of it
to be published in their local papers.
Booked to preach in thirteen parishes
before he concluded in Ontario, the
clergyman warded off, with one ex-
cuse or another, this threatened ex-
posure of his one and only oratorical
effort, but when the last parish was
reached and the last sermon deliver.
ed he yielded gracefully to persuasion
and committed the manuscript to the
publishers hands. Alas for the bish-
ops precautions. 1t had been his
unvarying custom to jot down at the
end of a manuscript the places in
which that special sermon had been
preached and the dates of its delivery.
The Canadian manuscript had proved
no exception to the rule. The editor
of the local newspaper published the
sermon in full, with the addition Of
preached at" followed by the dates
of delivery and the names of the thir-
teen parishes of Baltimore
Sun.

Evolves New Theory
of the Human Soul

There Is a somewhat remarkable
theory of mans soul and earthly ex-

argument may be briefly indicated by
the following quotations:
at is usually assumed that the in,
dividual is created at his birth by a
divine power, or by the processes of
nature. Now, we cannot deny that
some individuals are born good and
others bad, and it seems to be i'm
