Speaking at the group’s semi­ monthly meeting on “The Retired Minister as a Graduate,” Mr. An- thony said that he felt that far from being retired, he was Just a freshman in the new university where the real training for life’s serious work was begun. In a few words of advice to his fellow clergymen, the speaker ad­ vised good reading and a healthv mental stimulus, and recommended "Scarlet and Gold,” the publication of the R.C.M.P., as an inspiring work. For serious study, he said, noth­ ing was 'better han Rev. Dr. E. F. Scott’s “Book of Revelations.” "Give yourself freely,” Mr. Anthony said, "for this is the source of per­ ennial freshness and happiness. And always remember to help the work­ er.” Rev.
