"A FINE LOT."
The Bishop of Woolwich (Dr. Hough) declares that the working men—and the girls —of South London are a line lot. '"I have," he says, "lived for 48 years in the Old Kent Road. I've found that as a class the working men are a. fine lot. Some of them are my best friends. The working man does not go to church because, when lie does, lie is bored. When I asked one man wliv he did not go to church ho answered, 'Well, guv-nor, I've been.' The South London working girl of to-day is a mucli better typo than formerly. Every day I compete with them for the morning 'bus, and they beat mo every time."
