A. remarkable Instance ' of this waa
witnessed , at . the great worklngmen's
meeting held at the church congress a
few years ago. There waa a vast hall
crowded from end to end with keen,
hard-headed artisans. And confronting '
them in nnserried ranks were rows upon

a great roar of applause rattled up to
the very rafters. The bishop of London
was about to address the Northampton
shoemakers. He began quite easily b.

in the east end. ' . ,
"I remember," he said, "my first Sun-

meeting of BOO men and at the and of

" Well, now. what shall we talk about :

''And immediately BOO voices yelled '
out: 'eternal punishment. .
"Eternal punishment!" cried ' the
bishop, with a light tone of laugnter in
his pleasant voice, "that waa a ' nice
