HOW TO TRAVEL.
Then this king of travellers discuss
ed travelling. 1T was Burton Holmes
who said TO travel is to possess the
world, but Holmes meant to travel
like human being and not like a
trunk tied up in a baggage car. One
must be out TO see and feel. TO go
on foot is too tedious; to travel by
train or motor is too swift and tire
some. The ideal way in my opinion
is by bicycle, because by this means

DELIVERS LECTURES.
Mr.. PAIL said that he frequently
stops at the Y. NJ. c. A. en- route and
also visits religious workers by
whom he has been asked to lecture
on the Holy Land and on his travels.
He carries with him a little bible
which is inclosed in covers made of
wood from Jerusalem. From this
book each evening l have prayed" he
added, 'and when | lay down to
