London. with MS chaplain, DIR. Ander-

Bishop Montgomery and the Bishop OF

and it took me back to our own dear
St. Andrews. The sermon was preach
ed by the Lord Bishop of London, from
the text, THE Kingdom Of Heaven is
like upto a grain of mustard seed"
Then he went on to say Ct now quote
from a newspaper): ''It is quite i'm
possible to describe the feelings of love
and gratitude, and even pride, with
which an English churchman must
look round upon the great assembly
which fills this church today. Here,
bone of his bone. flesh Of his flesh, Is
a great sister Church; now grown 10

When he thinks over her wonderful
origin. her growth, and the part she is
bound to play in fashioning the fu-
ture of this mighty nation, his heart
is bound to go out in love to her. in
gratitude TO God for His goodness TO
her, and in an honorable pride that
he had some share in her being at
all.
And if that would be bound to be
the feeling of any English church
man. how specially keenly must this
be the feeling of any Bishop of Lon
DOM"
Then he went on to say how busy
he had been the last few months, en-
deavoring to look through the three
thousand documents which relate TO
the history of the connection or
the Church in America with
the See of London, which are in
the imminent room at Fulham Palace,
and he had brought with him some
specimens Of the continuous CORE
spondence on the subject which went
on for 1T0 years. Then he went on TO

Then he went on to speak of tho Mus

Yes" he said; "amid storms of ad-
versity and waves of persecution, and
blasts of disappointments, God saw
that the grain of mustard seed should
fall upon the strand OF America, and
not only fall, but grow into a great
tree,A in whose branches the birds of
the air, the 100000 emigrants which
annually, without ceasing, pour into
America, may come and lodge"
After speaking of the Love OF God.
of a message Of free salvation, Of a
church with authority and truth. and
OF unworidliness. he ended by saying,
Only a church whose weapons still
are faith, hope, and love and prayer,
can hope to win the world. See to it
that the great American church. so
apostolic in-4ts origin, so catholic in
it's creed. so heroic in its history, is
also 50 devoted and unworldly in its
life and work, that it shall take a.
worthy part in moulding the future of
the world, and have for its blessing
and reward the gratitude and love OF
hundreds Of millions of souls"

J. McCan Davis, of Springfield IS
the country candidate for the Re
publican nomination for Clerk OF the
Supreme Court, for upon him will be
concentrated the support of Republl-
cans outside or Chicago. The present
incumbent, a Chicago man, has held
the office for twelve years, and there
is a general feeling that the office
this year should go to the country"
rather than Chicago. A prominent
down state" Republican recently
wrote Mr.. Davis as follows:
In my county We feel that you are
entitled to every Republican vote out

known than any other aspirant for
the office: you will have more gen

more elements Of strength and that
you are better qualified for the place
than any other candidate. For that
reason We think it would be foolish
to vote for another candidate simply
because he happens to live in our dis.
