.Miss Maud Royden, cays our London correspondent, occupied tlio pulpit of thf City Temple on a rfcent Sunday. "The world," she said, "in its torture and misery, was looking for a prophet, a spiritual leader who should iind some solution of the overwhelming problems to which thero at present deemed no polution. <iod was speaking to us all the time, though we did not hear him. Would the hoped-for revival come from among the ordinary people? The. danger was that we should allow ourselves to be paralysed by the magnitude f the problems. If men could give their lives for this world in all its sin and ugliness, could not we live for it! It was for the ordinary man and woman to find the truth that should bring about a spiritual ieM>«i without waiting for a leader."
