REVIEW OE REVIEWS. 



April 1, 1913.

 for I believe that his greatest achieve- 

 ments have yet to be enumerated, he 

 having paid the cost, the true benefits 

 being yet to come 



I have referred to the confident man- 

 ner in which lie looked for guidance, 

 His last was one of his most explicit 

 sign-posts. He had finally settled all 

 outstanding matters connected with the 

 development of his Review which, to 

 his delight, was making steady forward 

 progress, and was awaiting his next call 

 to arms. At that time he became spon- 

 taneously and keenly interested ni a 

 comprehensive, original and highly suc- 

 cessful movement in America for 

 national evangelisation on the card- 

 index system. Such a movement, free 

 from shibboleths and cant, secured his 

 full and entire sympathy. He spoke 

 to others and myself about it several 

 times, and when he received a direct 

 invitation to address it in conference, 

 it was to him the most obvious call to 

 action for some great purpose. On the 



evening before he set sail we rode to- 

 gether to his home. On the way he was 

 more deeply earnest than was his wont. 

 "Well," he said, "and what shall I 

 do out there?" "You will make a big 

 splash!" I replied with a smile, but 

 sadly. "Yes," he said, "I shall do that." 

 He paused. " But there is something 

 behind it all which I don't clearly un- 

 derstand just yet. Believe me, H , 



the Senior Partner does not fling me 

 across three thousand miles of land and 

 sea with no great purpose." He re- 

 mained somewhat pensive. He then 

 described to me a strange instance of 

 guidance vouchsafed to a devout man, 

 and we were both deeply moved. We 

 gripped hands at parting. " Good-bye, 

 my lad," he said. " Do your best. 

 Write me. Hotel Manhattan, New York. 

 God bless you !" " God bless YOU, Mr. 

 Stead," 1 answered, with a full throat, 

 and went into the darkness with the 

 big tears starting, leaving him to follow 

 that clear sign-post which was to lead 

 him direct to Heaven. E. S. HOLE.
