HOW SCOTT FOUND ROB ROY
The Romanticist's Introduction to the
Region About Loch

Charles s. Olcott in the Outlook.
During all the time that the scenes and
the stories connected with this and other
excursions were making their impress
upon the mind of Walter Scott it must
be remembered that he was not thinking
of any ultimate use of them in literature
but was only ambitious to make a sue
cess of his chosen profession of the law
1t so happened that one of the earliest
duties which fell to his lot as writer's
apprentice was to serve a writ upon
certain obstreperous family in the Braes
of Balquhidder-the country made famous
by the exploits of Rob Roy. Fearing that
the execution of the summons would be
which later owed most of its fame 10 his
men was procured, and Scott, a youth
of scarcely 16 marched into the High
lands, riding as he said, 'in all the
dignity of danger with front and rear
guard, and loaded arms The sergeant
was full of good stories, principally about
Rob Roy, and very good companion.
This expedition was Scotts first introduc-
tion to the scenery around Lock Katrine,
which later owed mucheof its fame to his
pen. 1t enabled him, by actual contact
with the Highland clans, to learn for the
first time some of the thrilling tales with
which the region abounded and to be-
come familiar with the habits, the speech
the dress, and all the other marked char
acteristics of romantic people. The de-
lightful scenery of Loeb Vennacher, Loeb
Achray, and Loeb Katrine, the rugged
slopes of Ben Venue and Ben An, the
more distant peaks of Ben Lomond and
Ben Ledi, the tangled masses of foliage
in the deep Trossachs widest nook
So wondrous Wild the whole might seem
The scenery of a fairy dream
all this appealed at once to the artistic
sense within him, to his poetic feeling,

Protestants at Washington

An outcome of recent meetings of
home mission societies and Federal
Council of Churches is the decision to
enlarge and strengthen headquarters In
Washington The presence at the ma
tional capital of growing number of
Roman Catholic bureaus is not, 1t is de-
clared, the motive for this decision. There
constantly arise, it is claimed, legal and
semi political matters in which the
churches have vital interest, often where
in negotiations have need to be carried
on, to the end that protestant interests
may be cared for. Some of these relate
to the securing of uniform laws on mar
riage and divorce. Others relate to In
dian education, negro education, and the
agitation for one days rest IN seven
for workingmen
Another outcome of the same meetings
is the much larger recognition of the
missionary education movement. This
movement was stated as foreign mis-
sion propaganda, but 1t is not fully
opened out into home as well as for
eign agency. and 1t has been decided TO
put into its hands the details OF the
home mission week, which Is to be made
an annual affair, held on the week be-
fore Thanksgiving week. The movement
is primarily to publish text books and
promote mission study, but it has OF late
developed into common agency of all
missionary societies, home and foreign
Its growth is one of the striking fea-
lures of the last few years.
Still another outcome OF these recent
meetings seems to have been the limit
ing in far larger measure than hereto
fore, of the laymen's missionary move
ment to foreign work Its plans for
great world tour of many experts, and
their later tour of America, has had to
be deferred, pending tre finding of suit
able men to make the world tour, ana
eie money necessary to pay the cost. Re-
ports show thot home efforts are grow
ing quite as rapidly as foreign, and that
cooperation to a far larger extent than
in former years is coming in. Further
studies of conditions in small towns in
the middle west and Rocky mountain re-
gion are to be made at once to prevent
overlapping and overlooking.

The Rev Adoniram Judson, young
man Just married. went with his wife
to the far east to enter upon Christian
work among the so-called heather or
India. He was a Congregationatist end
he was bound for India circumstances
turned him aside to Burma, and study
changed him to a Baptist. American
Baptists, aroused by the incident, founded
q society to support him and his young
wife. Untold sufferings followed, and as
usually happens in such cases there were
many misunderstanding, and an early
death of the pioneer. But the work went
on, and now the Burma mission is among
the largest, strongest and most famous
in the world. Baptists of this country
who go on the trip are to have special
guides and while aboard ship to nave
studies of things, they are to see. Ihey
will have the elimination of their tour
at Burma, to celebrate one hundred years

and the end of their tour at Boston to

sion work in America. Starting now the
whole campaign is hardly to end before

New York, January o5.-(specialD The
Rev. Andrew Leitch, Yale divinity stu
dent. stands alone as a new type Of min
lister He has just been ordained at a
service held in New Haven, and ordained
merely Christian. On the examination
he was asked If he believed Jesus Christ
TO be Lord and Saviour IL he accepted
the Bible as the word of God, and If
he would pledge to preach Christ and the
gospel as contained in the scriptures. He
gave the pledge, but unlike all other men
ordained to the ministry he gave no
pledge of loyalty to the doctrines and
authority of any organized church.
He was then ordained by the Rev. DR..
Charles r. Brown, dean of the Yale
school and a Congregationalist, and the
Rev. DR.. Peter Ainslie of Baltimore, for
mer president of the General Convention
of the Disciples OF Christ, and now chair
man of that body's commission on Chris
tion unity. 1t is admitted that Is or 20
years ago a minister of these bodies, Iak-
ing part in such service, would bring
scandal and controversy. Now 1t Is stated
that none will follow. At least that mucn
progress toward unity has been made.
The new minister. of a new type, will
continue his studies at Yale.
In Australia, on these same lines, II
has been agreed by the bodies co-operat-
ing that, beginning with the year 1912, all
men ordained to the ministry shall be or
dained In all ways That is, passing ex-
aminations to suit their examiners, he
shall be oradined by Episcopal church
bishop. Then taking another examina-
ton, he shall be ordained by Presby
terian ministers. Then Methodist. and
then Congregational, these four bodies
entering the plan. Having ordinations in
all forms the candidate will be avail
able to enter the pastorate of any of the
todies desiring him, and having entered
to cooperate with all others. This plan
is believed In Australia to be the one
that will lead to church union. Many
Christians in the United States are also
coming to hold the same view. The Rev.
Andrew Letch, Yale divinity school. Dean
Brown and the Rev. DIR. Ainsie of Balti-

new unity demonstration.

We are all mingling together keeps UP
the agitation about everybody else's busl-

or causes much evil.

What the world expects of you? Do you
know that you must live up to the stand

to be?
1t is so easy to see the errors of the
'other fellow" and we are SO often OBJ
tuse when we think of ourselves.
Then, too, we never take into consider
alton the fact that often much good is
hidden behind a small fault or unfortunate
address 1t is so much easier to tell of a
little wrong than to help to overcome it.
OF course, there is very great variety
of habits, customs and moods of people
with whom we are thrown daily They
differ from us by nature and training,
but this does not make us better or them
