The tire have startled one not accustomed to the er’s style of oratory was his expression of a preterence for people who absolutely hated re- igion over those who simply regarded it with in- ference. These were people who showed that they did think, and, like Saul of Tarsus, was hope of their conversion. “It said, ‘‘a great time when the Lord into the Devil's army, and looking around him sees some lieutenant, and says to him «Come along; you have served thé black master long enough, I have need of you now.’ It is astonishing how quietly he comes along, and what a valiant fight he fights on the side of Lis new master.” Mr. Spurgeon had a protest to make against the practice of refusing to help the poor except through the machinery of the poor law.

Aphasi Tye disease of the memory or impairment of the Idea or power of expressing language may be iilustrated by the following instances. A gentleman of seventy years, when wishing for constantly employed some inappro- rd. Ifthe desired bread, he asked for yet would be furious when these were If he ed a tumbler to drink from, call for an utterly unsuitable vesze!, versa. Yet he was conscious that he used the wrong word, for if another person sug- gested the proper word he at once adopted it. Sometimes the substitution is applied to a single letter. An instance of this occurred in a learned patient of Dr. Crichton’ jetter =z for f, d, ie desired (Auffer) or cot- fee, he as! (Kates) a cat. A singular case was that of Madame Hennert, who asked for a table when she wanted a chair, and for a book when she desired a glass, and even when th proper word was su, nounce it, y who substituted the ted she could not pro- mducted her household affairs with a d regularity. Not only does the defect in question affect the power of speech, but it also extends to the act of writing. ‘The person may articulate fluently and rapidly, using strange words that he h coined, or substituting unsuitable words, He may even know that he ts talking nonsense, yet when he attempts to express his ideas by writing he will either write his words in conformation to his use of them, or he will write an unintel- ligible scrawl. Among other odd examples of this defect is one related by Professor Hammond, in which the person always made the answer fois to any question implying the use of tigures, though he up seven fingers; if he meant eighty-four, he would say fois, hold up eight fingers and then four.
