HISTORY or REv. lrcCLELLAND
An INTERESTING ONE
tBy Associated Press,


London, Feb. 15.-The Rev. H.
s. McClelland, B. A. B. D., who
has been called from the East Finch
ley Congregational church to the
leading church of that sect in Glas-
gov, began life as an office boy in
Fleet street on q salary Of five shill-
ings week. AS men who have
worked up from $1.25 a week and
paid their way through the univer :
sity are less numerous in England
than in the United States. his pro-
motion has attracted considerable
notice in the London press.
McClelland was born in Belfast in
1882. His fathers going on the
stage early caused an estrangement
in the family, and when his mother
died he and his brother were adopt
ed by their grandfather, q Belfast
linen manufacturer. The GRANDPA
Their was sternly religious, and pun
ished the future pastor on one &C
casion for whdstling on the Sabbath
The boy was sent 20 a Quaker
school. On his grandfather's death
he came to London to make his own
fortune when IA years old.
As $1.25 was not enough to keep
him, he found a family willing to
board him on credit. Soon he found
a job as salesman in a book store al

firm of tea merchants, where he be
came a secretary to one Of the part
ners. This suggested the tea bust
ness for himself. He found he could
make more as drummer for a
wholesale perfumery house. Then
1t was, at the age Of 10, that he de
termined to educate himself. With
a capital of $500 he had saved, he
entered Nottingham College, where
he soon won scholarship. After
taking his B. A. there, he entered
New College, London, whele he was
largely supported by scholarships
taking an essay prize for three years
and the jubilee medal At the end.
The engagement Of the Rev. Nc
Clelland to the daughter of Sir An
drew Terrence, formerly M. p, was
announced recently.

THE MAID OF MY DREAMS

The maid of my dreams is a creature
so rare
That l vainly have sought her for
years;
Yet l really don't care what's the
shade of her hair
Nor what is the shape of her ears.
That paragon girl may have teeth
that aren't pearl,
And her eyes may be vacant of
gleams;
Yet her manifold charms set my
mind in a whirl
AS muse on the maid of my dreams!
| never have thought II her form
should be round,
Athletic, lopsided or lean;
I only have wished 1t would be neat
ly gowned
In a garb hygienically clean.
1t isn't important that she should re-
call
Greek, Latin or wise colleges themes,
II she knows how to cook by the book
that is all
That I'll ask of the maid OF my
dreams.
II she knows how to look to the
washing and sweep,
How to run household sorpows to
joys,
How to deal with the dust without
falling asleep,
How to sleep without making noise
II she'll work for a fair weekly
wage for my wife.
II she'll never indulge in extremes
or III temper, believe me, I'll take
her for life,
That adorable maid of my dreams'
