Early Promotion,

There was a moment in the Arch- bishop's career when it seemed pos- aible that the Church in England was, for a time at least, to lose is leadership; a Canadian bishop ric was offered to him, and de clined. The reason for this refusal was not hard to guess; and when, shortly afterwards, it was reported that Dr. Maclagan's wonderful strength of mind and body was at Inst "failing, men knew that the "unusual step was to be taken of appointing a suffragan bishop to the Northern Primacy.

With modern works it is the same. The £13,400 paid for the famous "Alice" MS. alone makes the sea- son memorable,

He also has not yet definitely decided whether he ought to give his memoirs to the world. Thou- sands of his countrymen desire it, and there is no doubt that Dr. Davidson could command a very large sum for them, although such a task would not be undertaken for material considerations but from a sense of duty.

As the confidant of Queen Victoria, the counsellor of King Ed- ward and King George, and as one who has met every celebrity in the world, he could produce a volume which would become historic.
