In the motley crowds of profes- sional men, shopkeepers, and idlers who used to congregate in old Westminster Hall when the judges sat there, were many loafers known as "Affidavit men," or "Knights of the Post," because they were in the habit of loitering near stationary objects like pillars and posts, where they could readily be found.
Swearing to Anything
Their occupation was the making of affidavits for small recompense when required: their reputation that of being ready to swear to any- thing, true or false. As a means of easy identification they had wisps of straw stuck in their boots.
Most equity litigation was at one: time conducted through affidavits.i But when the Judicature Acts brought equity and common-law procedure into closer harmony, a change came about, and evidence by affidavit was made dependent upon the consent of both sides. Moreover, it was open to the judge, if he thought it desirable, to order the person who swore the affidavit to be examined orally. Mostly the afidavit now appears in prelimin aries to trial.

LESSON-SERMON
FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST, HONG KONG
"Love" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, August
4.
The Golden Text was: "The Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ" (II Thess 3:5).
BISHOP'S PARABLE ILLUSTRA- TIVE OF VARIOUS TYPES
'THE "HARD-BOILED"
The Bishop of Portsmouth, Dr. E. N. Lovett, compared various types of Churchmen to an egg in different stages before and after cooking. when opening a discussion at the annual conference of the Church of England Men's Society at Ipswich. The discussion was on a resolution. to the effect that the great enemy of Christianity to-day was the materi- alistic spirit, and that every member of the Society should dedicate him self anew to the task of spiritualis- ing every department of human life.
"When you come to look at an 85," said the Bishop, "it presents in its different phases types of so- called Churchmen. There is first of all the uncooked egg with no ahape about its interior, so that If you take the shell off, it is all over the place." Are not there Churchmen like that?!
Among the citations which com-i prised the Lesson-Sermon
was the following from the Bible: man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love, the other; or else he will hold to the sufficiently firm to keep the heart one, and despise the other. Ye can able. That is the sort of Church- But the heart is adapt- not serve God and mammon Therefore take no thought, saying, he is able to adapt himself. Then man I like.
