“NEW" METHOD OF REDUCINQ ‘

One of our Southern papers made a very humorous remark recently when It stated that the exercise that reduces the waist line most quickly consists in placing the hands on the table and pushing back.

And many ofour clever writers who ridicule the value of exercise, would have less ground for their jesta Ii the exercise above were more generally adopted.

They are certainly justified in smiling at some of our stout people who endeavor to reduce their weight by spasmodic and heroic ef- forts at heavy exercise, and who absolutely forget the exercise men- tloued above, of pushing back from the table. Because afterall where the Weight is taken on is at the table, ‘ Men and women will spend hours walking, horse back riding, bicy- llng, at heavy gymnasium work, to Efltrid of their superflous weight.

Th; Foolishness Of Preaching

By Rsv. W. R. Inge, Dun of St- Pauvs, In The Gpoetator.

The Archbishop of Qantarllaury has exhorted the clergy to take more pains with their aerimons. The result, as might-have been expect- ed, has been that the chronic dis- satisfaction of church-goers and others with the spiritual and intel- iectuai food provided for them on Sundays has become more vocal than usual. and that many clergy- men have protested that their crit- Ics do not seem to realise the dii-

contend.

The standard ofnreachlng In the Church of England is certainly low. Not only is the average sermon uninspiring, but there Ia ardearth of outstanding preachers whose re- putations can ‘be compared with those of Liddon. Magee. Phillipa Brooks, and Farrar. The few preachers who can still flll any church are men who for one reason or another are In the public eye; they are not great pulpit orators. but they are known‘ to have the cour- age of their opinion, to say what they think. Most of the preaching In Anglican churches is unwork- manllke and even slovenly. if we judge It as we should judge other professional work. Our 91151119191‘! do not study the art of hortatory eloquence as the Nonconformist ministers do. nor do they as a rule put so much thought Into their dis- courses as the Scottish Presbyteri- ans, from wholn their fleolile de- mand stronger meat than would hej acceptable to most English congre-i
