BIGGEST PARISH.

PARSON OF THE NORTH SEA.

For thirty years the Rev. C. H. Hicks has preached to the rough fishermen who have their home in the North Sea. His church is a

little ship, "Alpha," and on it or on the trawlers themselves he con- ducts the services to which these men look forward so much.

Mr. Hicks was brought up in Mauritius, and it is doubtful if he would ever have taken on his present work had it not been for a book which he read,called "Norard of the Dogger." Touched by the loneliness of the life depicted in this book, he thought that someone. who would chat with these fisher- men, talk to them quietly and simply of the Gospel, would be welcome.

In that way Mr. Hicks became pastor of the North Sea-Surely the largest parish in the world.

Naturally, he has had many ad- ventures. He will never forget his first trip to the fishing grounds, in the days when steam trawlers did not exist.

The proprietor of the Red Lion Hotel at Prestwick possesses a letter from Burns' written to his Master, in which he apologises for being absent from a meeting of the lodge. It now secins to be clear (says the Daily Chronicle) that he was Poet Laureate of Lodge Can ongate Kilwinning No. 2, at St. Written in chalk in several John's Chapel, Canongate, Edin places on Weymouth esplanade burgh.

The fishermen demand all sorts of duties of Mr. Hicks. Either on shore or at sea he has to undertake baptismall, marriage, and death services. He has celebrated Holy Communion on tumbling smacks and prepared men for Confirmation in the fo'c'sle on stormy nights.

Above everything else, the fishermen like hymns, They do not look, on hymsinging, as ́a vocal entertainment, rather is it devout praise. The pastor always takes his portable harmonium with him when he boards the 'trawlers, and. the entire service usually consists of prayers and hymns.
