Elizabeth had many faults, but it is quite impossible to doubt that she was endowed to quite an extraordin- ary degree with the kingly capacity for judging men. She could pick her sexvants with unerring wisdom, and most people who rad Mr. Coam berlin's book will be satisfied that in relying upon Leicester so much as she did she made no mistake, and that, far from being the brainless fop paint ed by some historians, he was an exceptionally bold and sagacious

statesman.

COURAGE AND ASTUTENESS.

In the long struggle with her sister Mary, the evidences of her future greatness were easily to be discerned, for she displayed a combination of undaunted courage with an astuteness amazing in a young and inexperienced girl. For years she was in daily, al- most in hourly, peril of her life, but her great heart never failed her, and her sagacity thwarted every effort of Mary to draw her into making some false step.

She was always fighting against persistent ill-health. Mr. Chamberlin

Apparently no definite verdict can be reached, but we must accept the fact that, from whatever cause, bad health was almost continuously added to the other burdens-and no monarch ever had heavier-she was called upon to hear.

I have only to add that the measure which has lately been suggested by Sir James Crichton Browne for the avoidance of venereal disease does not, I think, deserv the consure of the Church, but it is re- medial, not prophylactic that is, it follows and does not precede the action which entails, or may entail, disease.

It would seem to me that the Church is as little entitled to forbid the use of remedies which may spare many thousands of innocent women and children the pain of unmerited suffering as she would have been to prohibit the use of anesthetic medici- down in the Book of Genesis that nes in child-birth, because it was laid
