Sooner or later. and we trust sooner rather
than later. public sentiment will demand
that no man of VIGOROUSLY immoral private
life, no man. for example, who puts away
his wife in order to take another, shall be
at the head of great fduciary concerns
All this means that character cannot be
dismembered like the human body, and one
part of IL pronounced sound and the other
diseased. We cannot wall OFF certain large
domains and say that they are exempt from
the highest tests. We cannot cheat a rail-
road system out of even 5 cents-no. not
even if that railroad has been cheating the
public-and then atone for our act by be-
slowing copper upon the next beggar we
meet.
The clean life is what we want-never
mind just now about the simple or the
strenuous type. We want the life that Is
white from center to circumference, that

its close. THE PARSON.

First Roman Catholic Leader OF

special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, January 2o.-Lord Ripon
breaks the record In being the very first
Roman Catholic who has held the position
of leader of the house of lords. The Office
of leader of the house of lords. like that
of leader of the house of commons, is en-
tirely unknown to the law, and was I'M
known in practice till at least two centuries
after the reformation. and every one of
Lord Ripon's predecessors in the position
were members of the Anglican Church.
The Irish lord ieutenancy however. could
not be filled by Loid Ripon as a Catholic,
although he has filled the position of gov
ernor general for India, nor would he be
eligible to act as one of the lord justices
by whom the functions of the Office OF lord
lieutenant are performed during the absence
of the viceroy from ireland. The late Lord
Coleridge. when attorney general for Eng
land, in an elaborate reply to question adj
dressed to him in the house of commons
by Sir Colman O'Loughler, stated that in
his opinion the Office not only of lord leu
tenant of ireland. but of lord chancellor of
England was open to Catholics In the true
construction of the statutes, which were.
however. OF import too doubtful TO allow tho
opinion in the absence of remedial leisis-
lation to be acted on.

After many years spent in this work.
says Mr. Downey, Il have often found It
the case that men above the average in
teltigence and recreant business men who
have possessed means and lost them will
not go in with the rougher element And
that is not surprising, for surely no one
can appreciate the loss of means and social
position more keenly than the man who
has enjoyed them in the full. They are
usually of an extremely sensitive nature,
and have deltcacy about going with the
others. You would be surprised to know
the identity of some of the men this home
has sheltered. We have had two promI-
nent educators. for instance, whose names
few years were well known In collegiate
circles.
To the rear of the front room on the
fifth floor is the wash room and toilet
1t In the drying and fumigating room they
are supposed to take a bath, and to facili-
tate this exercise fine shower and other
bath utilities have been provided. There
are lockers about in plenty. Midway of the
building on this floor is the dining room OF
good dimensions, and next to this is the
kitchen, a commodious apartment in which
fine French range has been Installed

moved many men to penitence and good

rebellion against ecclesiastical authority
as protest against the licence of fmmcr-

ancient theology as an outbErst of spiritual
life. Was it not a revival which cleansed

later Scotland owed more than can be esti-

The United States from the days of Pres

subject of REVEALS with satisfactory results
in the national life. No one, indeed. with

Nature does not MAINTAIN undisturbed

composed and fruitless in winter: when
spring comes the buds bourgeon on every

trick at all times of laughing at our supe-
ror fate, and our affected composure; she
Is herself gay, unrestrained and enthusiasts

some rich autumn is apt to die down to the

IN virginia and Mascl chusetts. AT the be-
ginning OF the seventeenth century there
was little likelihood that England would be
one of the dominating powers in the new
world. We may therefore be thankful for
the providential ordering of events which
brought about result then so improbable
The principles of liberty, of justice and rep
reSentative free government which are our
glory and our boast today came to US as a
heritage from old England. We in America
are the benefciaries of the battles for liber-
ty and self-government fought on English
soil. 1t is natural that we the children of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, should
emphasize the fact that the jamestown col
ony was the daughter of the Anglo Saxon
church and that brilliant galaxy of pa
trfOts, sages and statesmen which Virginia
gave to the country in the revolutionary
period were in the great majority of them
loyal sons of this church of ours.
Those great Virginians who were such
shining examples of patriotism In 1776 and
who were the leaders in councils and In
the armies of the revolution were sons of
this church. He who would establish the
place which the Jamestown colony should
have in the annals of American history, let
him look at the statue of these patriots
whom the Virginia church gave to the rev.
olution. Let him observe that they are not
only among the giants of that remarkable
epoch: they are among the greatest of the
giants. Let him ask himself what would
have been the subsequent history of the
country IL the names of Peyton Randolph
rick Henry, James Madison, John Marshall
and George Washington were plotted from
the annals Of America. The answer to
that question will measure the debt of the
people of this great land to the James
town colony and to the church planted on
that spot"

DEBT OF THIS COUNTRY
TO ENGLISH CHRISTIANITY

of the church to make a thank offering at
the convention to be held in Richmond in
1907 in gratitude for three hundred years of
English Christianity In America. 1t was in
manent colonization of English-speaking
people was established In this western
world On that spot vine of civilization
and liberty and religion was planted whose
fruits we enjoying today. 1t is there
we must seek the beginning of Anglo-Saxon
dominion this western continent. 1t is
there We find the seed plot of representative
free government In America. Within the
walls of the church which stood on that
spot the first legislative body of Englishmen
was assembled on American soil to deliber
ate for the welfare of the people on July
so, 1919, eighteen months before the Pill
grim fathers landed in Plymouth bay. On
that spot also with naught to mark save
ruined ivy-clad tower and some moscow
cred tombstones we find the earliest spring
and source Of American Christianity There
were. it is true, earlier Spanish settlements
under the banner of the cross, but they
persisted"
The question was asked
why, DR.. Mckim, are you called upon
to give thanks for English Christianity"
well, of course" was the reply, las
members of the Episcopal church, we are
thankful for the coming of the English
church to this western land. 1t is from
that church that our own has sprung. 1t
is through that church that we have re-
ceived the priceless heritage of our prayer
book and our polity. 1t is through that
church that we have our continuity of apos-
tolic days. We do WELL therefore, to be
thankful for three hundred years OF Eng
lish Christianity. But there is another and
broader reason.

not be thankful that English rather than
French or Spanish civilization was planted

One may say at the outset that the re-
vival idea has been less than justly treated
by two different people, one OF whom would
make too much of 1t and the other too little.
Some earnest people can hardly imagine
genuine religion apart from the peculiar
mood of reviyalism. Their faith is an ex-
element rather than force; they recog-
nize no normal temperature equidistant
both from fever heat and freezing point;
they undervalue regular exposition of truth,
and overvalue hortatory addresses; their
charity, indeed. scarcely includes within
the pale of spiritual Christianity life of
modest weil-doing. and they are apt to
exalt the zeal which has little knowledge
Religious life according to this standard
would mean a series of spasms with reac-
lions between rather than steady and con-
tinuous life-a succession of cataracts
rather than the even flow of a mighty river.
According to the other class, which has
been represented in Scots history by the
moderate party and in England by what is
called the sound churchman,' religious life
should prove itself by quiet and reverent
worship on Sunday, and the pursuit of prac-
teal holiness on the other six days, and it
should not fall into any heat of feeling or
extravaganza of action, This school will be
apt to regard revivalS as outbreaks of
fanaticism which are foreign to the spirit
of Jesus, and charged with serious danger
10 religion. Its members are very doubtful
whether REVEALS have aided faith or fos-
tered ethics, and they are inclined to believe
that If religion had never been disturbed by
this weird influence it would have been
stronger and purer. Between the evanges-
istic and the moderate schools, which are
both good in different ways. the revival
idea has been tossed to and fro till we can
hardly form just appreciation of Its mean
ing reality.

was revival when the Hebrew people, who
were very poor preachers indeed in Egypt,
realized their nationality in the desert and
piucked up so much spirit that they built
their tabernacle with money and labor

OF the judges every rising of the people
against their oppressors, and every blow
which they struck for rough righteousness
was a quickening of their moral life The
enthusiasm of the nation over David, and
their devotion to the king, in whom was
centered the national unity, baptism
of hope to the people. The reformation in
| ance of the law more nearly approached the
more modern type of revival, and the
preaching of the lew after the exile, and

, human movements. and the most potent
force In shaping human destiny?
We should be prepared for mixed results,
and should not be astonished il revivals
have their drawbacks or even scandals.
Much of the spring blossom is trodden I'M
der foot: every product of literary re-
naissance is not fit for our bookshelyes;
high tides of business generally leave some
wreckage on the shore. We must take
broad views, we must look at the long re-
suit. Suppose that a mixed multitude fol-
lowed the Hebrews out OF Egypt, 1t re-
manned a good thing that the Hebrew peo-
pie became a nation. Many of John Bap-
lists hearers did not bring forth works
meet for repentance, but some at least We're
prepared for Jesus. Out of the multitude
who We're called to the Lord Himself there
were only a few choice servants, but they
recreated human society.
Our Master taught US to expect that olly
% per cent of the seed sown would spring
up into everlasting life. Gross social ex-
cesses, and wild anarchy of opinion dis
figured the Reformation, but yet to that
event we owe everything that is strongest
In the Anglo-SaXon race. When q revival
affects Celtic people we must make great
allowance for their psychology. The Ceit
is much more excitable than the Saxon, and
must more easily be affected by the fas-
cination of music If the scenes at one OF
Mr.. Evan Roberts meetings took place
in an average English church they would
spell madness; among the Welsh people
they simply mean profound emotion. Be-
sides one should not forget the class so
largely affected by REVEALS. People who
live in homely circumstances are not like
ly to carry themselves after the manner
of the drawing room. The point is not
whether people have been moved according
to the canons of good faith. but whether
they have been moved not by drink, nor
gambling, politics, trade disputes,
which affect the material side of mans
nature, but by religion, which has its root
in the unseen.
Surely this must be admirable, and must
mean that the best part of "a mans nature
has been stirred. And surely we can sep
arate between the gold and the alloy be-
| tween what is from above and what is
from below. Religion is not responsible for
wild speeches and foolish agents and ply
steal excuses and glaring extravagances.
We must lay the blame for those defects
upon the material through which the Divine
Spirit is working
1t is possible that a revival may breed
some hypocrtes and it will certainly pro-
duce many shallow converts. But every re-
Vival leaves balance of good stuff, and
for the sake of the gold we should not
complain of the quartz There is no gain
without loss, no flood without damage no
harvest without waste no good, not even
the presence of Christ Himself, without dis
turbance. One does not say this to con-
done foolishness, only to explain it; certain
ly the more revivals are kept free from
| smpty-headed men and unreasonable meth
ods the better for religion, but what has
TO be cenSured is the human imperfection
not the Divine power
