Woman Pastor's Sermon on Love

SMALLISH woman in her early forties, dark-- haired, with young, earnest eyes, few wrinkles, and a persuasive way of talking, kept the attention of a congregation of more than 2,000 for nearly half an hour in the City Temple, E.C., recently.

She was the Rev, Dorothy Wilson, who preached her first sermon as associate pastor with the Rev. Leslie Weatherhead.

Daughter of Sir Courthope Wilson, formerly vice-chancellor of the County Palatine of Lancaster, Miss Wilson (as she prefers to be called) has for nearly 10 years suffered from spinal arthritig, and this is almost her first winter in England since she was ordained in 1928.

During her sermon, which was re- layed to an overflow congergation, she said:
