With this record Of the efficacy of prayer, he
deliberately proposed another test A man had
met with an accident in a lift The injuries
were not necessarily mortal, yet the nervous
shock had been terrible. and he IN most
desperate condition The Archdeacon asked the
congregation to pause for single minute and
TO pray for the recovery Of the sufferer. This
was DONE and the congregation was encouraged
by many previous instances TO believe that the
prayers would be answered. The prayer test
has been applied in this parish many times, and
some of the cures effected have been most re-
markable The Archdeacon does not balance
probabilities speak with any indecision when
he refers to this subject of an immediate and
supernatural Intervention in the sickroom. He
stands erect like a soldier and with emphatic
gesture declares that he knows that the re-
covery of the patients is due to the prayers
offered in st. Johns, Westminster,
The Archdeacon is the grandson of the great
William Wilberforce, anti-slavery agitator and
philanthropist. who described in his own
time as the brightest star in the evangelical
armament. Three of the Protestant reformer's
sons fell under the influence of DR.. Newman in
the Tractarian movement and entered the
Roman Catholic Church; and the fourth. Sam

Motley as partly admired partly pitied as
a brand plucl1ed from the burning. but with
the smell of the burning strong upon him. and
after decades of polemics was ACKNOWLEDGED by
impartial churchmen to be the greatest prelate
Of his time. The Archdeacon is the Bishops
youngest son; and, while his brother is the

of Westminster and the rector of Queen Anne's
sham-classic temple in Smith Square. Like his
grandfather. he has an irrepressible ardor for
agitations and proclamations against social
abuses and political wrongs-even against scien-
tific methods such as vivisection-and, like his
father, he has the reputation of being a man of

THE PRAYER TEST.
Archdeacon WHberfOrce's Use of 1t
ia Emergencies.
London. June 2S.

London. June 2S.
Professor Tyndalrs prayer test was regarded
thirty years ago as a challenge fsom agnosticism
70 faith. It excited bitter a controversy that
his views were subsequently restated with scien-
tihc precision in the famous Belfast address The
original proposal did not come from him. but
from one OF his correspondents; and it was
quoted by him with expressions Of commenda-
ton in an article in THE Contemporary Re
view" 1t the suggestion that the efficacy
OF prayer should be practically tested by making
a ward Of a hospital the special object of the
prayers OF faithful believers for period OF ten
years. and by comparing the rate OF mortality
with that OF other wards in the same time
Il was not acted upon, since the disputants
were not prepared to take the trouble OF pro-
viding for decade of systematic observation Of
two wards. one of which should be exposed TO
the unrenlitting action of prayer and the other
Isolated from and protected against it. In at
least one parish in London the efficacy OF prayer
in effecting the recovery Of patients critically i'll
has been repeatedly tested. This is the parish
Of St Johns. behind Westminster Abbey, where
the rector. Arohdeacon Wilberforce, has applied
the prayer test with what he considers salts
factory results The last instance he related on
Sunday at the altar after a generous Offering
had been made for the London hospitals.
A few Sundays previously the venerable Arch
deacon had asked the congregation TO unite in
silent prayer for the recovery Of a woman
who was apparently hopelessly Ill. The results
he explained in detail. Almost at the very mo-
msnt when the prayers OF large congregation
were offered the patient opened her eyes and
said TO her attendant: II feel much better"
The Improvement went on without interruption
during the night and the next day The crisis
was passed at the moment when a few hundreds
OF believers in prayer were united in the pious
hope that she might recover. Convalescence was
virtually complete when the rector told his flock
New-York tribune., 1905-07-13

the world so sinuous in his courses and so dex-
ferrous in his expressions that no party in the
English Church claims him with assurance
an authority on any religious question. Yet
'Soapy Sam" himself. who could boast of be-
ing always in hot water and coming out of 1t
with clean hands. had not deeper tone of con-
viction than the Archdeacon has when he is
bent upon making people understand that he
says what he believes, and knows it to be true.
This is his note Of personal authority when he
| announces the results of the prayer test.
The Wilberforces have been men of scientific
tastes and social fads. The great Bishop of OK
ford used to find recreation in the study of
trees and flowers when suspicious contempO-
raries were describing him Jesuit and won
dering how long it would be before he would fol-
low his three brothers. his brother-in-aw and
his daughter into the Roman Church. Robert
Wiberforce. who influenced by Newman
and Manning indefatigable geologist;
and Henry Wilberforce had a marked enthusl-
for the study of insect life. The Arch
deacon has in his turn taste for psychi .
search, and has shown deep interest in the phe-
nomena of spiritualism and the literature OF
theosophy, and, while he is an accomplished man
of the world, favorite at court and chaplain
of the House of Commons he is also man
with many hobbies and student of social ques-
tions. Yet he is also u devoted industrious rec
tor and a preacher of original force who Is
never out of touch with the pews. AS a high
churchman he has employed the Cowley Fathers
in a mission among the Westminster slums and
as a broad thinker he attracts theosophists
spiritualists and intellectual class to the fan
tastic, four-towered church behind the Abbey.
Without being at any pains to conceal his con-
tempt for academic theology, and having wIthaI
an elastic way OF revising doctrines and
stating creeds in language of his own, he does
not unsettle anybodys opinions and succeeds in
making religion something vital, practical and
essentially spiritual. This is the eccentric rec
tor who takes up the prayer test of Professor
Tyndall and brings it into for emergency
cases. Probably he would be the first TO admit
that belief in constant supernatural interfer-
ence with human affairs readily lends itself to
superstition; yet he thinks he finds evidence that
it is exercised in some cases. and says so with
emphasis, without dread of being called a
fanatic or the most overworked of modern words
"a crank. l. N r.

from Richmond, Va. where they spent
the past week searching the records Of
tile proceedings Of the trustees Of tho
Saves OF John Randolph, deceased, whose

Mercer county for the possession OF 100
ceres OF land. Some time before tho " II,
John Randolph, by his, will liberated his

them in some Northern State. The trus-.

In Mercer county, nearly 1000 acres In all,
hut fol some reason u settlement Of these
slaves on the lands purchased was DEEM
ed impracticable ana the lends were af-

the lands belong to them, Tho attorneys

discovered enough evidence to satisfy
them that the claims Of the slnves are not
well founded, and that they have no rights
