Should ho accept at Enfield and husband his strength, finding in hie present pastorate: experience and opportunities not yielded by the pen and the peripatetic preaehingto which he has now received a yet louder summons? Chronic and persistent overwork is now telling upon Dr. Orchard, and his present programme, filled right up to January. 1915, is enough to break any man down.

Orchard, would lose more than he gained were lie at present to devote himself entirely to journalism and literature, or to adopt the role of a wandering raissioner.
