point home the lord bishop told a
story of a workingman whom he had |
heard preaching. and he had said that |
he, the speaker, had high regard for |
a good Wesleyan, and had nothing |
against completed Baptist but the |
thing that he hated and had no use |
for was a jelly fish churchman. The |
bishop averred that the Anglican faith |
was like a great and high tableland, 1
to which God Himself is the noon and
sum- He alluded to the difficulty In
the church which beset business men, |
and said that since he had been here
In Iichmond more than one layman
had told him how difficult it was to re-
ceive advice from mere curate who
was inexperienced in the ways of the
world. He contendeds that this was one
of the greatest questions with which
the church had to deal. and it was the
truth that many layman knew more
than some Of the priests could tell him.
We must remember one thing, that It
Is impossible to be a Christian OH Sum
day and not on other days of the week.
tie told of the plan which he had in
PRODUCED in London of having great
committees, composed of priests, lay
men, worlingmen and capitalists, who
met together to plan for the good of
religion, and advised that this same
scheme be adopted in this country.

bans. The bishop caused laugh by
saying that he was a man of many
aliases, but that some of the titles

his will. He spoke of the missionary
work in India, where he served for
more than four years as chaplain of
the Bishop of Calcutta. and then of his
work in England. His lordship in

child chu1ch. He disclaimed being
| the head Of the society, explaining
/ that the Archbishop OF Canterbury was
| president, and that he was content and
honored to be the secretary. Bishop
