He was presiding at a meeting in support of the St. John's Foundation School, Leatherhead, and he said the nation demanded a resident and a married clergy. In the latter respect he himself could not escape condemnation. But he had not time to satisfy the public demand that he should marry, and he had not the slightest intention of satisfying that demand.

Shepherd, 8.A., Congregational minister at Hopton near Mirfield, subsisted all last week (says the Christian World of February 19) on drv bread and cold water and denied himself "the luxuries of a fire newspapers, and other comforts.
