‘There are few more fragrant names 
in English poetry than that of ‘‘holy 
George Herbert.’? He was of noble 
parentage, and one of his brothers rose 
to the peerage. In his youth he was a 
courtier under King James, enjoying his 
a4 ° 
genteel humour for clothes.’’ His 
father died in 1597, leaving him in hi 
fourth year to the care of his mother by 
whom he was wisely, as well as tender- 
ly, nurtured. At the age of fifteen he 
entered Trinity College, Cambridge. 
He grew up with a feeble constitution, 
and his sedentary habits and abstemious 
mode of living soon brought on symptons 
of consumption of which he died at the 
age of forty. His life as a clergyman of 
the church of England was all passed in 
the two small parishes.of Leighton and 
Bemerton. “The hold which his deep 
and unaffected piety and affectionate 
nature gave him upon the simple and 
uncultured rustics may be learned from 
REV. Mr. LINCOLN 
May Accept a Call to St. Louis, to be Assist= 
ant Pastor of the Pilgrim Church. 
It is reported that Rev. C. Arthur 
Lincoln, pastor of the Congregational 
church, Manchester, has, or is about to 
receive a call to the assistant pastorate of 
the Pilgrim church, St. Louis. This is 
the church of which the well-known Dr. 
Mills is pastor, and. is the largest church 
in the middle west, and one of the larg- 
est in the country. A new church edi- 
fice is now being built at a cost of $225, 
000, with a seating capacity of about 
1200. 
When interviewed by the BREEZE man 
Mr. Lincoln did not care to say anything 
for publication other than that he was 
considering the matter. 
evening was of a very fine order. Fol- 
lowing the dinner a social half-hour was 
enjoyed while the tables were being re- 
moved and then the following program 
was carried out by the Forrest Concert 
company, Miss Ethel Aldrich, violinist,

the descripton which Izack Walton gives 
of the scenes at daily prayer which he 
instituted at Bemerton. “Some of the 
meaner sort of the parish did so love and 
reverence Mr. Herbert, that they would 
let their plough rest when his saints’ bell 
rung to prayer, that they might also offer 
their devotion to God with him, and 
would then return back to their plough.’’ 
Another incident that belongs to 
Bemerton days is a_ revelation of 
Herbert’s wholesome nature. He wasa 
great lover of music, and was himself a 
good musician. [t was his wont to walk 
once a week to Salisbury to meet some 
musical friends and to enjoy the great 
organ in the mid-week service in the 
Cathedral. One day he appeared much 
discomposed in his attire which was al- 
ways scrupulously nice and well cared 
for. On one of the company expressing 
his surprise that Mr. Herbert should pre-
