He says: While my fellow-traveler and were walking by the side of Loch Ketterine, one fine evening after sunet, in our road to a hut where, in the course of our tour, we had been hospitably entertained some weeks be- fore, we met, in one of the loneliest parts of that solitary region, two we'll dressed women, one of whom said to us, by way of greeting, What, you are stepping westward?'" That this pass Ing word should fall upon just the right ears, and so give to the world a Joy and an illumination for ever, is one of those rarele events that awe and uplift the mind. We suddenly know and feel that not only is the commonest bit of earth holy ground, but that heaven lies about us now as much as ever It did in our infancy, and that, although the vision may fade, we are permanently in higher hands.
 At critical time in the life of John Wesley, when, to save his soul, he was about to retire into remote privary and give himself up to prayer and self discipline, an unknown adviser, a "se- rious man." gave him back to Eng land and humanity by saying to him: Sir, you wish to serve God and go to heaven. Remember, you cannot serve him alone. You must find companions or make them. The Bible knows noth- ing of a solitary religion" A few words spoken by a servant-maid to Charles Wesley led him to step, before hls long-struggling brother, into life and liberty of soul, And when White field was setting out for American some wise friend said to him: 'If you have a mind to convert Indians, there are colliers enough in Kingswood." He went to the Kingswood colliers, and in his so doing the great evangelical re- vlval in England was begun.
 It is not to be expected that anony- nous words will always be meeting such high issues, Their more natural level Is that of social intercourse: and happy hits and encounters innumerable have bsen preserved showing the prow- ess or otherwise of anonymous speak, CT.

Shedder crabs, squids. red and white worms
are equally good as bait. The bait should be
well put on the hooks. for the striped bass
pounces upon it with the voracity of blue
fish and is apt to tear it off without hooking
himself.
Striped bass can also be caught by. trolling
with a metal squid, but ''chumming is the
most killing method of all.
A lot of menhaden is chopped up and
thrown overheard. making an oily slack which
drifts to leeward and attracts the bass in
the neighborhood. A slice of flesh from the
hack of the menhaden is baited on the hook,
and the line, weighted by the hook and bait
only, is thrown overheard to drift away with
the tide.
The very finest bass fishing, however, is
found in the surf On the Jersey coast you
cast from the beach; elsewhere the fisherman
stands on a strong wharf that Juts hundred
feet or more into the breakers.

almost out when the bass, wearied of the
strain which the anglers thumb, pressed ON
the reel, has caused, doubles on his tracks.
Out goes the line again, as the fish makes
another break for liberty. Then it remains
motionless, but taut, as the fish sinks to the

fish on the coast He fights with

tse2Ey tenacity of the bull dog. 1t may
be minutes or it may be hours be-
| fore he succumbs, but only when he IS safe IN

is it certain that ne won't escape.
He is the embodiment of piscatoral strength,
from his powerful, sharply yforked tail to his
sIuarely hung jaws and voracious mouth. Ills
body is like the salmon's. long and oval but
much more compact and stout. His gigantic,
bristling fins are admirably adapted to his con-
genial home in the surf. He has large. wick.
ed-ooking eye; big silver-colored scales, and
a darkly-striped back and sides. He runs in
size anywhere from six inches to five feet. and
in weight from a half pound to hundred
pounds.
The striped bass freduents the coast the
year round, but does not appear in the bays,
creeks and rivers before the middle of Au-
gust, nor remain much later than the first of
October.
The methods of fishing for him are as vari-
GUS as the places in which he is found. Along
the rocky shores of New England and Long
Island and the sandy beaches of New Jersey,
cumming or suuidding is practiced. In the
bays you can still-tish or troll, while in the
creeks and rivers you can cast the fly with
certain success. The methods most in vogue
however, are cumming and still-fshing.
A suitable outfit should consist of a stout,
two-joint rod: reel, holding about two hun
dred yards of line, lot of sproat hooks, a
landing net, number Of Snkers and some
wire T-swivels
For surf fishing the angler should have
twenty-one- thread fine. three-inch O'Shaugh-
messy hooks, a landing gaf, some stout woolen
clothes OF oil skins, and a belt with a socket
in to rest the butt of his rod.
The best place for fly fishing is where some
small brook empties into the river. A "red
ibis" and white miller" are the best flies.

the work was pushed rapidly. But few days
