Pulpit in Railway Station,

travellers who enter Shrewsbury
by the Abbey FOregatestation can
scarcely fail to observe one of the
most remarkable features to be seen
at any railway station in the world.
Thls is pulpit. 1t stands promi-
nently above the coal wagons and mis-
cellaneous goods trucks of the station
yard an ancient stone structure, to
which access is gained by an equally
ancient flight of stone steps. This
pulpit is the only remaining fragment
OF the domestic buildings of the once
great and powerful Abbey of Shrews-
bury.
In the olden days it stood in the
monks refectory and was used for
preaching from and for reading the
lessons while the monks ate their fru-
gal meals.

How the Scarecrow Earns His WAGES,

How the Scarecrow Earns His WAGES,
AS he stands in the middle of the
fat Suffolk field there. is little to show
that he is not the ordinary inanimate
scarecroW. He stands motionless for
five minutes at time, and only when
bird is tempted by the fresh corn
just appearing above the ground does
he show any sight of life. But then
it is that the scarecrow moves, he
hits all old tin can with the rusty
handle OF shovel and frightens the
birds and makes them fly Quickly out
Of sight.
SO he spends his day, this old bent
man. and at the end he is paid Is
pence. He is the village scarecrow.

Prospects are declared to be bright
for a religious revival of large proper
tions and deep effect in Washington, as a
result of the series of evangeiistic meet
ings to be conducted in Convention Han
October II to November by Gypsy Smith.
The noted evangelist has been conduct
ing services in Baltimore for week past
and the news of the crowds which he has
attracted has awakened widespread
interest in the coming campaign here
Cnruchgoers who were more or less
familiar with his work in years past have
awaited his coming with expectations. but
the interest is now said to have spread
beyond the church circles
Speaking of Gipsey Smith. Rev u.
Campbell Morgan. the successor OF
Dwight l.. Moody at the Mortified con-
ference. has said:
MY first acquaintance with Gypsy
Smith was made in 1856 when | entered
upon work AT Hull, which he had orlgi-
mated Going at the invitation OF the
committee then in oversight of the work
AT Wilberforce Hall to conduct services
for fourteen days, / remained thirteen
months and thus had opportunity To OBJ

conversion of others. These. most or
them. had been brought to God under
the preaching of this man. Many of
them remain in the churches OF the town
unto this day. and retain their first love
to Christ and devotio to His cause.
During these years / have noted with
great Joy his remarkable development.
until today he stands at the very front
of those who are doing the work OF the
EVANGELIST His early life consisted of
certain facts, which were against the
chances of his success. and yet. taking
higher viewpoint of consideration, they
were in his favor.
His lack of educational advantages
would have seemed likely to bar his prog
ress. He recognized this and set himself
from the first, with a devotion and earn
the defect. Ell has been hard worker and
hard reader, and this has found its re-
ward in the fact that today he has ac-
quired a style and delivery that is full of
force and beauty.
1T is possible to hear him again and
again. as l have done, without detecting
flaw In his grammar or pronunciation
and one is filled with wonder at his won
derful triumph in this direction. In his
case the very early lack has been the
stimulus of constant effort, and there has
been no arrest OF development consequen t
upon the mistaken notion-alas. too COM
mon among more favored men-that he
had his education long ago
Greatly in his favor is the fact that he
was child of nature. nurtured near to
her heart. When that Spirit who breatheth
where He listeth brought him into living
contact with Christ, the gain TO this early
environment was manifest To knew
him today is to catch the sweet, healthy
freshness OF woods and flowers and dear

The Man in a Hurry.

We all know him-the man in hurry.
If he meets you it's How are you?"
and a friendly hand clasp. but he can't
stop longer than to discharge the
civilities of the occasion. Even while
he is greeting you. he is thinking of
his next appointment. and when he hur-
ries off YOU feel as If he had given only
a part of himself to you.
We all know also the man who does
his work in hurry. He is so eager
to get through that he Sights it here
ana there. trusting that 1t will answer.
or if he does not that he will never

If one could really accomplish more

NAV not impress you as 'hustlers' but

the perfection of our body, and he has
said the same thing that Paul says. He
says: In some forms Of hysteria. the
patient suffers from a peculiar group of
symptoms There Is no sign of muscular
weakness paralysis, but all attempts
at walking are unsuccessful. His nervous
system or tissue is intact. and the most
careful examination will fail to reveal any
organic lesion in the brain or spinal cord
What is the matter with the man then?
Here is a man who is perfectly sound,
but cannot walk. like the man In the gos-
pei. DIR. koreat says this is the trouble:
The patient has lost. or suppressed. the
mental image of locomotion.' That Is he
has forgotten he was made to walk. That
same man can lie in bed and kick his legs,
but that is not what they were made for
They are there to serve the free spirit
and to send him about doing Gods will.
This physician says the man Is tempo
rarily paralyzed. not because he has a
lesion in the matter of the brain or the
spinal cord. but because something has
suppressed from his mind the image of
physical perfection. That means a great
deal in our own lives when we make such
blunders with our religion. The trouble is
not always that temptations have been
too strong for us. The difficulty is quite
as often this: That we have dropped out
of our consciousness the ideal OF man
hood and womanhood. Paul says:
Whether ye eat or drink or whatsoever
ye do, do al to the glory of God. Let the
word of Christ dwell in you Not in
poor, misera BILE, pinched existence. but
let it dwell in your tabernacle with all the
oriental spendor of the ruler.
Lastly. the second item of religion is
prayer. Faith Is the faculty by which we
claim our own. by which I'VE lay hold of
this heavenly Inheritance and appropriate
it to ourselves. Faith is the passive atti-
tude of the soul where we surrender our
selves TO it and are nodded by ii. 1t is
opening the shutter of the soul and let
ting the heavenly image impress itself on
the place. Days of darkness will be re-
quired to develop it. Temptations will fix
it there. The image stays forever when
once so fixed. Prayer is the attitude of
the man by which he contemplates his
own best self and for the moment surren-
ders himself to that. 1t molds in clay the
life which by chisel and hammer is to be
carved in the marble real.
so may Christ take form in us the
Christ life be no longer q heavenly vision
merely. a matter of ancient history. but
may take form and shape in our minds,
and from day to day. more and more in
carnate itself. and put itself into more
flesh. make Il larger tent. reflect more of
grace and more of purity. This is why
we have our church. this is what we are
laboring for-until Christ be formed in
