DEATH OF MRS.

Upon her retirement through fail- ing health, she was Presented with gifts 'from her fellow -workers. 1 The sincerest sympathy goes out to her httsband who has been in poor health for many years and to her sons arid daughters and the other relatives of the family. 1 • The funeral took place from' her late residence on Saturday afternoon, and was largely, attended.

We all love to come -upon a man who is original, but he must have the'commen instincts 'Of humanity, otherwise, we could not endure him. Were a man to be entirely different to the race he would cease to be a man. So humanity is old and person- ality is new. Such truth as we preach from the pulpit is from everlasting. It is only our method of presenting it that has the slightest claim to originality. We could not preach a new theology if we tried to, for a new theology would not be true. 13ring.me the most new- fangled idea that has come to light, and I think I can satisfy you, by re- vealing its hoary antiquity. Sir Oliver, Lodge once pointed, out how old our newest inventions are. A man takes half a dozen old things and puts them into a fresh relationship to each other and he calls the result a new inven- tion.

But, how wonderfully our astronomical conceptions have chang- ed since then. Truth, like God, never changes, but •our conceptions of it are constantly changing. It is good for a man to have a creed, and here the old his- toric confessions are of value, but if they cannot be handled, in a broad way, in a large free fashion, they be- come a hindrance and not an inspira- tion. The sad results of this kind of thing are all too evident in some cir- cles today. E'xtreines beget extremes. 'The pendulum will have to recoil, we have now, a theol*ical left wing and a theological right. wing and, they are two hostile camps. There are Radicals on the one side and Conservatives on the other. The wise man refuses party labels and will belong to neither.
