Queen Liked Her Ale Strong.

The City Of London Brewery com
pany, whose premises are offered for
sale, claim to be the only brewery In
the city of London existing from the
time of Queen Elizabeth, and it is
quite possible that the queen occasion
ally sampled their brew. Elizabeth
was a specialist in ale. She liked it
strong, as witness the plaintiye note
her host, the earl Of Leicester sent TO
Lord BurIelgh: "There is not one
drop of good drink for her here. We
were fains to send to- London, and
Wentworth and divers other places
where ale was; her own beer was so
strong that there was no man able TO
drink It,"

Evangelist Dunn contrasted the
church Of the Old Testament with the
church of the New Testament. He
said: The Jews have made the Old
Testament church while all Christians
made the membership of the New
Testament church, and that the Jews
became members of the old church by
a flc<nly birth and people of today
became members of the new church
by spiritual birth"
The evangelist further impressed
his hearers with the Importance of
teaching people now before the birth
that puts people into the New Tes.
