Father" Taylor, one Sunday, ex.
planned the true meaning of the word
philanthropy, and announced that a
collection would be taken up the fol

Evidently the collection fell short OF
his expectations the following Sunday,
for before the close of he-meeting, he
said:
Last Sunday explained to you that
the word philanthropy meant the

Probably the most notable of his
achievements was his race against

French officer had left France, and,
when the latter arrived with his
