BISHOP GORE _He is in truth, in the power, in the hands, of another, of another will.

attracted, corrected, guided, rewarded, satiated, in a long discipline, that "ascent of the soul into the intelligible world."_--WALTER PATER. No man occupies a more commanding position in the Churches of England than Dr.Gore.I am assured in more than one quarter that a vote on this subject would place him head and shoulders above all other religious teachers of our time.
In the region of personal influence he appears to be without a rival. Such is the quality of his spirit, that a person so different from him both in temperament and intellect as the Dean of St.Paul's has confessed that he is "one of the most powerful spiritual forces in our generation." It is, I think, the grave sincerity of his soul which gives him this pre-eminence.
