There are two sidej to this strange fashion. J. Is incredible that -good Americans are not available for the positions of prominence that Eng yehmen have recently been called across the Atlantic to fill. Men Just as capable as preachers, as lovable as pastors, and as powerful all round Influence for good are produced on American soli: - The back 1 current ' from America . to England carries (rom time' to time American pastors for English pulpits who are highly valued there. . But the recent transfers to this country of Dr. J. A. Jowett, late of Birmingham, to the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church, New York, of Dr. Hugh Black, to Mohtclair, New , Jersey, of Dr 8.

And certainly Nowhere could a higher type of ser vice be more urgently needed. ; It v ?iay be that .many years of ministry In one pulpit lead to restlessness, rpal if not-admitted, that demands , ainjoepnere ana rresn sur roundings.
