Martin, vicar of St. Michael’s, Oxford, has so often had these compliments paid his boys that he felt in honor-bound to “give the show away.” What he does is to supply them with thrilling tales of adventure, 'llihse they read during the sermon.

The books, it appears, include “The Pilgrim’s Progress” and adventurous missionary stories.
