PASSING OF GREATEST
RELIGIOUS EDITOR.

In the recent death of Sir w, Rob
ertson Nicoll, editor Of The British
weekly, the entire Christian world
mOurns the passing of probably the
most influential and widely quoted
editor in the religious field During
mis- editorship, The British Weekly
exercised cultural influence among
Christian ministers on both sides of
the Atlantic, VINO looked on it as a
perennial source Of intellectual and
spiritual refreshment. Sir Robertson
was the son OF a minister who had
Charge OF a small parish, and who
died with little property other than
a library of 1900 books. The son
was trained for the ministry but he
turned to the pen as offering a great
er opportunity of teaching. He spoke
weekly TO 100000 subscribers of The
British Weekly. and to others through
The EXpositor and The Bookman.
He wrote under different pen names
and frequently furnished from 5000
to 10000 words of copy" each week.
He was the discoverer of a galaxy of
writer's who won fame in literature.
In this connection one might point
to such names of Drummond, Barrie,
George Adam Smith and Ian Mac
laren," for to these he proved Il friend
indeed in giving an Introduction to
the reading public that made The path
of the author less difficult. His lite
rary influence was not confined TO
the sphere of religious writings, for
in addition to his editorship of the
leading religious weekly of Great
Britain. he was also the friend and
critic Of hunaHistic letters. Sir Rob
ertson Nicoll was always a welcome
visitor to America. and he showed
unusual consideration for American
books and writer's, AS a reader he
had few equals. He pointed an
American visitor to the more than
cue volumes in his library and sad:
Il believe I know something in every
ono Of them"

made talk for God. Stone was
talking fer the National Vaudeville
Artists Benefit association. In the

switch to the subject of religion. The
audience gave him probably the
greatest ovation of his entire career.
Stone said: Recently l made state
