What tho lord mayor of London did that
day, after formally rucclvliiK hla kuchIs,
was llrst to put on a pair of Kold-rimmed
spectacles and then to take out of tho lu
slilo pocket of his mayoral robe a. well-worn
Methodist hymn book. Then, mounting a
canopied pedestal, ho called tho meetiiiK to
order, preliminary to Hie kpeneli nuiUhig,
by opclilliK the hook and announcing a
hymn. This writer recalls these circum
stances and the scene which followed as one
of tho most Impressive occasions in a life
that has certainly not lacked in the oppor
tunity to see things. Tho hymn was
"lined," as tho early Methodists used to
cull It; that Is, it was read between tho
singing two Hues at a time. The lord
mayor himself rendered it in this old
fashioned manner, taking us hack hy this
old-time touch lo the period when Meth
odists, whose representatives were now
guests of honor In London's Mans. on House,
were nearly all either loo illiterate to read
or too poor to buy books. (), how those
Methodists sang that day, the lord mayor
who lined out Ihe words being Jtul as
hearty in carrying tho tune! Many were
the voices that trembled and ninny the eyes
that were wet, for It was an occasion when
memory was obliged to bring up tho strug
gling past ami hold it In pathetic yet tri
umphant contrast with tho bright present
and the still more promising future.
The world's Methcdlsm, when Its 500 r.)

John Winley's chapel on tho 1th cf ne.t
month, will unroll before the gnze of men
and angels a statistical table which will
show that the handful of desplsul folk, who
climate leaves only live months (from the
middle of Apt 11 to tho middle of Septem
ber) for nil the necessary operations from
sowing to picking, it is cnlculated that by
special measures the usual seven months
can he shortened by two. These consist of
it special preparation of the seeds by the
addition of certain ingredients to the soil.
The ndvanttiges to the country would b3
so great that the government ordered n
thorough investigation and as this proved
favorable agieed to support the project.
Large tracts of land, otherwise valueless,
owing to tho periodical inundations, might
bo devoted to this culture. Tho experi
ments have thus far been kept very quiet,
but the final results will bo made public
In the autumn.
An enthusiastic golf player says that
"vultures" tire becoming thick on tho links
about Chicago. Hy "vultures" hu means
tho men and boys whn make a practice of
going over the courso looking for lost balls.
They hover over marshy ground, generally,
and when the caddy can't locate the ball
and Is told to give It up the vultures swoop
dow;n. A good golf ball costs 30 cunts.
Some of tho caddies may develop Into vul
tures themselves. H Is nn open secret
among golf players that a dishonest caddy,
whllo pretending to bo looking for a lost
ball, will tramp It down Into the earth
with his heel. Then nfter you havo ex

There Is no Methodist lord mayor at the
Mansion House today ami It U certain that
tho delegatui to the ecumenical which con
venes In Wesley's church next month will
not be houoied by any Mansl n House re
ception. Next in civic dignity to the lord
mayor of London lire the two sheriffs, but
though one of these, Mr. Horace Marshall,
Imppi'iii! to be ii Weslejau .Methodist, ho
cannot he relied upon for any social atten
tions. How could one expect this when he
has not himself been honored with an ap
pointment as delegate to this body? Sheriff
Marshall Is a large publisher. Ho It Is who
publishes the Methodist Times, that lively
and really radical Journal whoso gifted,
plain-spoken editor is Kev. Hugh l'rlco
Hughes. This reminds mo how deeply re
gretful It will ho to all who know what a
genius Mr. Hughes Is and what a prominent
and pi pular part he had In the two former
ei'Uii.eiii 'a!s, that the coming galh'ilng U
likely to miss him on account of broken
1 1 . alt 1 1 . And another prominent minister
likely to be absent quite as much of a
genius as Mr. Hughes and almost as well
known in America Is Dr. W. L. Watkiusou.
In hoth these easis It Is the old, sad story
of burning the cnndle at hoth ends too
much work, too little play and at last the
Inevitable collapse, from which there Is
hardly ever any recovery.
Hut there will he no hick of distinguished
and inlluential men In this gathering.

Methodist Kplscnpal church will bo live

Among Kaiser William IPs little peculiar
ities is that of pulling his right ear lobe
when annoyed or worried. Apropos of this
an amusing anecdote is told. It happened
during his recent visit to Knglaud at the
t lino of Queen Victoria's death. Tho
kaiser was lunching nt the duke of York's
when a telegram was handed In and Us
contents being far from ngrecalde, his
majesty mechanically seized hold of his
auditory organ. The action did not escape
the notice of bright little Prince ndvvnrd,
the duke's youngest sou, who, staring nt
the kaiser with wide-open eyes, posed the
question :
"Say, unky, why do you pull your ear?"
"Hecauee 1 am annoyed, my dear."
"And you always do that when you are
annoyed, unky?"
The little chap was still for a minute,
then he continued:
"And when you Is very, awfully much nn
noyed, unky, what Is It you do then?"
"I pull somebody else's ear," was the Im
mediate reply.

The list of delegates from tin- side con
tains the names of nearly all ihe leading
ministers nml of some men who are ex
ceptio'ially prominent in political and social
life. Amongst the latter are twn members
if Parliament, Itt. lion. Sir II. II. Fowler
and Mr. Unhurt W. Perks. Mr Perks Is
one of the most active ami nl.ie of the
Methodist laity. It is largely through his
zeal that the Wesleyan church of (Ireal
llrltalu has made such excellent progress
with Its twentieth century fund. The
amount sought was $,1, (100,000. In subscrip
tions there have already been mined more
than 14,500,000 and nt least $3,(Wn 000 have
been paid in. Mr. Perks Is a liberal In
politics as Is also Sir H. II. Fowbr, who In
political life Is much tho mine prominent

llltlo Interest. What I i.igetiy
awaited was the benedict Inn. for
I was sure that after that Ihero was a great
religious treat In store for me. Tho result
showed that there was, and It consisted in
tho rare enjoyment of witnessing Iho still
more rare enjoyment of those dozen or more
honored representatives of a race which
owes so much to John Wesley and his fol
lowers im they went around, under compe
tent guides, to examine for tho llrst tlmu
tho various busts and memorials In that
tlnie-honoreil tdiiinc, and then at last, one
by one, climbed tho circular stairway and
Htood in Wesley's own pulpit, each of them
evidently feeling as ho did, ho that tho mo
ment occupied In this new nml high expeii
unco was the proudest of his life. As well
I hey might , lor Ihe late Dean .Stanley said
