1 POPULAR CANON S ILLNESS. CANON WILLI 8, Rector of Warrington, is seriously ill, and much sympathy is felt for him among his wide circle of friends. The Canon is a popular figure a.nd greatly respected. Last year he cele- brated the attainment of his jubilee in the ministry and also his golden wed- iing. His popularity is evidenced by the fact that out of a sum of £ 3,500 .vhich is required for the repair of the chancel of the parish church, £ 1,550 has Already been raised by subscription. The Elector has been in his present living since 1888, and was made Hon. Canon of Liverpool in 1895. He is also Chap- lain to the Bishop of Liverpool and Rural Dean of Winwick.
REMARKABLE PARADOX

REMARKABLE PARADOX IT seems there is in the Exeter Poor Law Institution a man who, though a certified imbecile, can perform some re- markable feats of memory. Dr. J. Pereira Gray, of Exeter, writes to the British Medical Journal to say that this man, who is sixty years of age, has been in a poor-law institution practically all his life, and has the facial expression and gait of an imbecile, makes use of very few words, and has a tendency to repeat the same phrases over and over again. However, if he is given the num- ber of any Psalm taken at random he can repeat the Psalm correctly. He can do the same with any hymn, and can give the right lesson for any Sunday in the year. He can also if given any date name the day of the week on which that date falls. The doctor says he has tested the man's memory on several occa- sions and his answers are invariably correct.
A NOTEWORTHY RECORD

A NOTEWORTHY RECORD IT is no ordinary claim that is made by the Vicar of Christ Church, Kensing- ton, Liverpool, the Rev. W. M. Barrow. He claims that he has been in his pulpit on his birthday every year during his ministry, and, what is more, has preached a sermon on each occasion. The explanation of this is like many other explanations, fairly simple when it is unfolded. It seems that Mr. Barrow, who is Rural Dean of Liverpool South, was born on the first of January, and the Watch Night services have given him the desired opportunity of achieving what is probably a unique record. He has been Vicar of Christ Church since 1906.
SUFFERING CHILDREN.

SUFFERING CHILDREN. NOBLE RELIEF WORK. IN view of the terrible suffering of the children in the famine areas of Europe and Asia Minor, this meeting pledges it- self to make every effort to bring the facts before the public, and to urge them to give strenuous support to the f Save the Chil- dren Fund' in its work of relief." This was the resolution proposed at the meet- ing held in the Q11 eeir's Hall on Monday evening last, the obj ect of which was to explain to those who gathered there the constitution and the purpose of the fund. Messages were read from Lord Hugh f Cecil, Lord Cavan, Lord Bryce, and from the great leaders of religious opinion. The Archbishop of Canterbury, who has agreed to make a special appeal in the churches on Holy Innocents Day, wrote: « After all that I have said and written on the sub- j ect it cannot be necessary that I should state again the depth and warmth of my feeling, that we have in this matter a duty definitely binding upon us all. If we throw our strength into it I believe we shall, please God, roll back the wave of suffering which is not only terrible now. but is appalling in the results which might ensue for the next generation." The Duty of Saving Life. Who can remain unmoved at the cry of a suffering child? The title given to this fund Save the Children," is a plea for human sympathy. At the present time starvation is rampant in Central and Eastern Europe. There are three and a half millions of children in Europe who will die if they are not provided with milk. In Vienna, for instance, it is not an unusual sight to see. the traffic in one of the main streets which leads to the cemetery held up by hearses, nine-tenths of which carry the bodies of children. This fund seeks to find in every centre of the famine area the best means of distribution; and it confines itself to the task of dealing with infant life. Is it not time," said Lord Weardale, M.P., who presided, that we began to think about saving life instead of destroying it? Let us endeavour to rise to those great heights of chivalry and mercy which have always distinguished the British race. Let generosity supplant vindictiveness. Let us make these little children our friends." The Task of Women. Miss Lind-af-Hageby put before her audience .some very telling facts regarding the state of Europe to-day. There is a general disorganisation of life. Suffering, misery" and starvation abound. In Serbia 35 per cent, of the population are consump- tive. In Poland the people are suffering terribly under the scourge of epidemics, there is not only lack of food, but lack of clothing. "Does this concern "lsP" asked the speaker. If we really want a new world we must not speak of enemy children. The sufferings of one country are bound to affect, not only Europe, but the world." In appealing to the women present, she said If women would give themselves to this great task of mercy, then the ideals which are behind the fund will make the very greatest progress in the near future." The meeting was also addressed by Mr. T. P. O'Connor, who referred to the om- nipotent appeal of the child," an. appeal that cannot be resisted. Mr. Israel Zang- will, who declared that this was a call .to the individual conscience; and Dr Hector Munro, who has just returned from a visit to the famine area, and who drew a vivid picture of things as they are actually are

P.G. THANKOFFERING FUND. A MYSTERY PLAY.

On this occasion the beauty of the play will be enhanced by scienic effects depicting the ancient basilica of the Nativity at Bethlehem and the Holy Cave beneath, while to the remarkable series of tableaux, which in the form of fr visions" illuminated the story of the play and in- dicated the mystical import of present day events in the light of history and of pro- phecy, will be added a final scene, A New Epiphany," symbolising the thank-offering, of the nations for the blessings of peace. Special attention is being paid to the in- cidental music, choral and instrumental. and many of the costumes worn will be valuable speciments of Palestinian and other Oriental dresses actually obtained from the Holy Land and other Eastern sources. Tickets may be obtained from S.P.G. House, 15,, Tufton-street, West- minister. S.W. 1, and from parochial secretaries. In view of the demand for seats and the fact that only the two per- formances can be given, an early applica- tion for tickets is advisable. The price of tickets will be 5s. (reserved), 2s. 4-d., and Is. 3d., including tax.
