Hoge did not write well, but his work as a writer was nothing to be com pared with his superb oratory. In the pulpit he was a prince. I never heard him approach failure. The first time I heard him preach was at synod in Charlottesville, during my student days at the University of Virginia; and as I sat in the gallery of the Episcopal church new revelation was made to me of what preaching could be. Tho sermon was to young men; and If ever heard a more powerful appeal cannot recall it. Even now the memory of some of the superb and fiery sen tences fingers with me.
 At another synod held in Charlottes- vile during my pastorate there he preached a magnificent sermon from my pulpit His theme was "The Bfble," and I have never heard the great sub ject more admirably treated.
 During my pastorate in Greenvile, s. c, having learned that he was in the state, I telegraphed him: "Stop in Greenville, and preach for us Thursday night Can give you a full house of all denomina- tlons" He loved to preach, and he &C.,

the Presbyterians have been the stalwart champions of education and especially of a high standard of ministerial training. Their preachers are almost universally sensible ard well educated men; and though, from my childhood, I have been hearing them preach, I can not remember that I ever heard one of them say a foolish thing from the pulpit.
 B. Johnson Barbour used to say that Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott creat- ed Scotland; but Barbour was a literary man, and probably forgot how much old John Knox had done to make Burns and Scott possible products of "the land O cakes" Some of the hardest knocks that John Knox himself ever gave-sturdy old fighter, and man of war from his youth as he was-were given against the dense popular ignorance which distinguished the Scotland of his age; and the English speaking world, and especially the Vr- ginia of our day are deeply indebted to tbe man whose heart was full of the prayer: Give me Scotland, or I die"

 And so 1t came to pass that a notice able number of the ablest and most highly cultivated men who visited the home of my boyhood and early manh ood were Presbyterian preachers. Moses Hoge was one of them. As talker, In the social circle, he was especially in- tersting; for he seemed to know almost everybody in Virginia that was worth knowing, and his mind overfowed with Knowledge of the traditional history of the state, from the earliest times, and from the most trustworthy sources. Did the old and oft-discussed question of Washingtons profanity in rebuking Lee for his conduct on the field of Mom- mouth spring up? Moses Hoge could aettle it for you with a story which he had from the lips of his granduncle who was on the ground, and heard Washington rebuke Lee with the words, My God! General Lee, what means this untimely prudence?"

He preached from a text in the Second Epis- tie of Peter, an eplstle whose genuineness has been longer and more seriously ques- toned by Christian scholars than has that of any other book of the New Testa- ment I was familiar with the doubts; and they had, Ito some extent. colored my own opinion. The great preacher did not once allude to these doubts. He treated his text with the same confidence with which he would have treated one from Paul's epistle to the Romans, and so im- pressive was his sermon. and so powerful was the sermon, as a whole. that, from that Thursday night, I nave never had the slightest difficulty with the questions of the genuineness and the authoriticlty of Second Peter

During Moses Hoges editorship of the Central Presbyterian the paper was regularly and eagerly read in our home, though we were Baptists. It is easy to explain the fact that fine writers are often poor speakers; but, so far as know, the psychologist who can explain the converse fact, that a fine speaker Is often a poor writer, has not yet ap- peared. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and divers other distinguished orators whom I could name have left no repu- tation as writers. Calhoun's work on government will probably live as long as our language Is read, but Calhoun was never a popular orator He spoke disquisitions upon some of the most diff ficult bjects that ever taxed the brain of man. Those disauisitions, expanded and diluted, have made the fortunes of many speakers, who, as thinkers, were vastly his interiors, but as speakers they were altogether too profound and condensed for popular oratory.

 The encyclical letter published as a re- suit of the Lambeth conference by the | Archbishop of Canterbury speaks solemn ly of the growing disregard of the mar riage tie and calls for "the active, de- termined cooperation of all right-think- ing and clean-living men and women in all ranks of life in defense of the family life and the social order which rest
 upon the sanctity of the marriage tie." The encyclical also protests very strongly as 0 result of the congress against all measures which have led to
 the decline of the birth rate, "as dan

of two women, one probably the prin- cess, the other the slave condemned to accompany her mistress on this last long journey.
 To me there is something singularly romantic in this thought of the old Vikings sending forth their dead ir the shadowy ships on the final voyage, and strange that that ship should at last find a resting place in modern museum, where the prosaic visitors of this goth century will have so little understanding of the poetic legends which govern these strange customs.
 The other memorial rests in St. Giles cathedral, Edinburgh, where d tablet to the memory of Mrs. Oliphant was unveiled by MT. J. M. Barrie, the celebrated novelist, who in the course of his address said that Mrs. Oliphant was admired the world over as a wom- an and as a writer. Her imagination ,' he said, twas one of those imagina- tions which carried some writers, in a single flight, to the very vaults of Heaven to play hide and seek with the stars"
 It is well known that Mrs. Oliph ant had to work long and hard at litera- ture, not only for the pleasure and joy she felt in her creation, but for the harder grind of earning money. "A national monument" he added "in that historic pile meant that to another of her children Scotland had said, Well done.' Mrs. Oliphant had joined the great shades who took care of Edin- burgh. and patrolled the city inaudl- bIo

the best society man" of the city.
 His political opinions were clear and de- eided. Where he stood when the Whigs and the democrats divided the country, l do not know; but in Confederate days, and onward, his firm stand for the old state-rights doctrines was one of the marked characteristics of the man. The Confederate soldiers never had a warm CT friend. During the war he made a blockade running trip to England, and secured a supply of Bibles and Testa- ments for our soldiers. It was In describ- ing that trip that he wrote the incisive sentence: 'All the songs in praise of the sea were written on the land" The point is sharp enough to recall Sam Johnsons saying that he did not see why any man should go as a sailor. if he had contri- vance enough to get into jail; because a ship is jail plus a chance of being drowned
 Brilliant pulpit orators are not always the most useful preachers but it would be hard to find anywhere in this country a man who justly acquired such a reputa- ton as an orator, and who, at the same time, was so widely and so varlously use full as was Moses D. Hoge.

 When Presbyterians met at Orange courthouse. we always claimed our share of the delegates; and when William s. Plumer, R. l.. Dabney, or Moses D.

 When Mounted Policeman Walter Stan ton of the Camden force went over his beat early yesterday morning he passed along Ferry avenue, the dividing line be- tween Camden City and the borough of Woodlynne. As he logged along he saw a man in the street, and glance was sufficient to tell the officer that the in- dividual was partly within the Jurisdiction of Woodlynne. He also saw that the fel- low was down and out through liquor.
 Stanton was in quandary and he sum- moned the patrol.
