The Rev. Dr. Aked. of San Francisco, was recently asked to intercsfc himself in the pomilar concerts of the Philharmonic Orchestra. In replv. ho said, '•! am going to be idiotically honest and confess that I know no more about music than a good-natured cow. Ido jaot know one tune froxa another. I cannot 6it through a concert except at great expense to my racked nerves. You will see that I aw, the last- person in. San Francisco who could help you in your work." A local musica] critic takes Dr. Aked in hand and tries to argue that ho cannoU escape music; that even the cries from the cradle _ and his own public speech have a musical basis. By attending the concerts lie would come to love music, and thus, when given his liarp in. heaven, he would not have -to say, "Pardon me, St. Peter. I am no musician/ 5

At tho final international meeting of the Salvation Army Congress in London General Bramwell Booth read a letter from Bishop Bovd Carpenter, in which he enclosed a letter from the Archbishop of Canterbury, and said:— "I understand that a personal visit is not quite in harmony with the order of your proceedings." Tie Archbishop said in his letter:—"My Dear Bishop, —I think it would be a very good thing if you were able to attend the great gathering of the Salvation Army which is about to be held, and to express our appreciation of the social and philanthropic work in which the Army, working in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, lias shown so much capable energy and persevering enthusiasm. Ita authorities will not exneci that we can, as the Church of England, express agreement with their doctrinal or ecclesiastical position. But this wide) difference in no way weakens our appreciation of the remarkable service which they have beyond all doubt, rendered to the community both in England and abroad." :

"The present contention about niiracke is a fresh illustration." writes the "Methodist Times,'" London, "of the way in which theology is often tie last refuge of obsolete conceptions of Nature. Both philosophy and physics arc nowadays inclined to doubt the*materialist interpretation of Nature, which treated it as a closed svstem. complete in itself. Even the doctrina of the conservation of energy does not stand where it did. Hence, as Sir William Barrett. '. T.R:S.. savs in the current number of "The Contemporary," 5 ' a , belief in the miracles of the Gospel narrative is consistent with the most rigorous knowledge of the Jaws and continuity of Nature/ as 'isshown by the public utterances of men like Newton. Faraday. Kelvin.. Stokes. Clark. 3laxwell, and others.' " It is a simple truth to say that many things happen in fiction which would be quite impossible in fact, and thai many things hapi>en in life which would be quite impossible in fiction, as any censor knows, v writes F. H. Martin in the '/Book Monthly." 3 It is in failing to distinguish between these two that many artists and nicst critics blunder, and this error is in offect the same as that of the ambitious actor who having once to play the part, for the first time, of an intoxicated ruffian in a certain melodrama, went to a. neiehbonrincc tavern and intoxicated himself.
