Canon Henson, of England, whose re-
cent visit to the United States and
Canada created widespread interest,
was to have been tried upon his return
home by the Bishop of Birmingham be-
cause he had preached in a Noncon-

church. The issue raised was delicate
one and now the Bishop of Birmingham
has decided not to prosecute the case.

The twang of truths we'll worn.
The jest that makes our weakness

The darling plans o'erturned;
The careless touch upon our pain,
The slight we have not earned;
The rasp of care, dear Lord, today
Lest all these fretting things
Make needless grief, oh give u.s. pray,
The heart that trusts and Sings

Edwin Markham says:
Father of life, I thank Thee too,
For old acquaintance near and true,
For friends that came into my day
And took the loneliness away:
For faith that held on to the last:
For all sweet memories of the past,
Dear memories of my dead, that send
Long thoughts of life, and of lifes
end,
That makes me know the light con-

A deeper world than it reveals.

through By-Path Meadow. Before their
eyes, a man named ''Vain Confidence"
fell into a pit prepared for unwary
travellers, and so beholding, they es-
capped his fate and turned back; which
was no easy matter, for a flood had
arisen and darkness had overtaken

The appalling increase in the number
of suicides all over the world is one Of
the darkest signs on the social horizon.

anity so lost it's hold upon mankind
that there is no fear for the future of
a self-murderer? And has it failed to
supply the joy that makes life worth
living, amidst all conditions? The bish-
op of Durham recently made a striking
arraignment of his nation in an article
in the London Standard upon "The
Decrease of National Courage" He
boldly avowed that the old spirit of
Anglo-S Saxon stubbornness and unf1inch-
ing endurance is dying out and that
the nation is decadent. He buttressed
his position largely by the increase of
suicides and the general growth of the
power OF Giant Despair in the realm.
He says, 1.-The nobler sort of courage in
the face of life is getting rarer, is wan
ing and dying down. The fact is one
of grave and formidable Importance, a
