The Archbishop of Canterbury, when Bishop of London, did me the honor of presiding at a reception given me at Exeter Hall, and whenever I have met the venerable Dr.Temple I have been cheered by his warm-hearted and "democratic" cordiality of manner.
In return for the kindness shown me by my brilliant and scholarly friend, Archdeacon Farrar, I was happy to preside at a reception given him in Chickering Hall.

He had a wide welcome in our land, but it was as the untiring champion of temperance reform that he was especially honored on that evening.

He and Archdeacon Basil Wilberforce are among the leaders in the crusade against the curse of strong drink.

Amid some evil portents and perils to the cause of evangelical religion, one of the richest tokens for good is this steady increase of interdenominational fellowship.

For organic unity we need not yet strive; it is enough that all the regiments and brigades in Christ's covenant hosts march to the same music, fight together under the same standard of Calvary's Cross, and press on, side by side, and shoulder to shoulder, to the final victory of righteousness and truth and human redemption.
Another change for the better has been the enlargement of woman's sphere of activity in the promotion of Christianity and of moral reform.
