A Determind Rector.
When the late Rev. Albert Maclaren, pioneer of the New Guinea Mission, went to take charge of the Parish of Maokay, N.Q,., he found m the people a very : unsympathetic attitude to the Clergy. The folio wing is from the report of his first sermon : — " You starved put one man, you broke another man's heart, and you drove another man away. Now Mr. So-and-so (naming the Eomaji Catholic priest) will always give me an old coat, Mr. So-and-so (the Methodist minister) will give me a meal, so you can't starve me out; you can't break my heart, and you can't drive me away, for I don't mean to go."
