PREACHER'S CRITICS

"I came to know him very well while he was in England, and at his suggestion I went to America at the conclusion of his mission and toured the American universities telling the students there of the great revival of religious activity which the Moody and Sankey visit had promoted among the students at Cambridge
From the time of his conversion, however, he was an evangelist with a genius for stirring the emotions of his congregations. He would stop people in the streets with a point blank question: "Are you saved?" The Chicago newspaper men called him "Crazy Moody."

Lord Iforder, speaking at the con- ference of the Cremation Society at Leicester during the wee end, said that no intelligent and responsible person would to-day argue that cre- mation assists crime.
"Throughout the whole period of cremation administration in this country there is no recorded case of
suspicion having arisen following a
cremation."
Actually, Lord Horder said, the reverse is sometimes true, since a certificate for cremation could only
be given when two qualified medical men certifled the cause of death, and, this was recently the means of bring- ing a murderer to book.
