"ROOM FOR THE POOR."
"I remember a story told in my youth of a very remarkable, but rather quaint, old Welsh preacher," said Mr. Lloyd George, in his speech at Glasgow. "He was conducting a funeral service for a poor old fellow who had had a very bad time through life, without any iault of his own. They could hardly a space in the churchyard for his tomb. At last they got enough to make a brickless grave amidst towering monuments that rose around it, and the old minister, standing above it, said : 'Well, Davie, you have had a narrow time right through life and you have a narrow place in death; but never mind, old friend j I can see a day dawning for you when you will rise out of your narrow bed and call out to all those big people, 'Elbow room for the poor.' "
