 Strange and sad it must be that for such g motive, however strong ly it pressed upon his heart, he should have disappointed hopes so l1ieh and abandoned a trust so great.

Baldwin who can speak for 10000, 1000 Brftishers?" alaid the Rev. Samuel M.

 said the Rev. c. Leslie Glenn in . sermon at Christ EpiscopaD church, Cambridge: "1t is unfor- 1 tslnate that she (Mrs. Simpson, was not one of the million single women who could have graced the throne of England and united two great demoCracies.
