"It is Mr. Wells's great advantage as a preacher that he has a
prose style instinct with life and beauty. Somewhere he speaks
of a cathedral as a 'Great, still place, urgent with beauty';
somewhere else he says, 'The necessary elements of religion
can be written on a postcard.'"--_Daily Chronicle_.
"Callisthenes" must look to his laurels.

Extract from the letter of a lady who helps in parish work and is full
of agricultural enthusiasm:--
"Next week I am going to start digging for the vicar."
Assuming that the reverend gentleman was inadvertently buried alive,
we deprecate this delay.
