III 'dHpDell Morgan mas secured tlc
services of very able American minister
for the month of August the Bristol
Eng Weekly announced last summer.
DIR. TeUnis S. Hamlin is one of the most
distinguished preachers in Washington, and
after this summers visit he is likely to De
in constant demand for English pulpits. In
the modernity of his thinking, as well as
in rapidity of utterance. he reminds me of
Bishop Phillips Brooks. In the service of
Sunday morning words were wasted.
His voice is clear, firm, business-like, with
hardly trace of American accent. He
might be the head of commercial house
or leader in the Senate. Unlike some
preachers of his country, he does not
compose in polysyllables. and he has never
acquired that strange habit of overlooking
his discourse with literary and historical
illusions, which suggests that the speaker
has recently acquired cheap encyclo-
paeda. DIR. Hamlin reads rather closely
from manuscript and we could tell that
infinite pains had been spent in preparation.
The congregation. which was remarkably
good for the Sunday before the August
bank holiday, followed him with earnest
attention.
