ear, we do well to forecast the situation, to seek to
' diecern the signs of the times,"and, ere our programmes are formulated, try to understand, as beet
we may, what the times demand of us, as part of the
Israel entrusted with the oracles of God and the
supreme treasures of the Kingdom. The year will be
eventful nod critical beyond all precedent, that ia
certain. The signs are evident that it will prove to
be among the greatest days of the Son of Man upon
the earth. As we approach it, we are awed by its
grottoes, into deepest reverence. As we face its tasks
we find new depths in the Apostle'e experience and
exclamation, saying with him, " Who is sufficient for
them thing I

The urgency ol the immediate situation presses in
with special appeal upon the Church., The " burden of
the hour," indeed, is the oommon experience of the
nation. We are all sharers of its anguish. Surely
the Church, called to" fill up that which is lacking of
the afflictions of Christ," should feel the pressure of
these great days more than the nation.
In his so
stimulating and suggestive book, " The Jesus of History," Dr. Glover points out how Jesus moved forward
to His work under the sense of a great pressure. Even
so should His Church now feel and move in ito die.

a steadying the nation.
May we not, taking the super-national view, say the
nations? In view of the world-crisis now upon us,
every sermon, every service, every business meeting,
every Sunday-school session, bears the label of urgency.
The problem forcing themselves upon the political and
ecclesiastical statesmanship of the world, problems
economic, industrial, social, political, and theological,
made the more acute the longer the war dregs on,
acute by reason of the growing menace of ,military
despotism on the one hand, and the growing determination to resist it on the other; all these press M
upon the Church, for, at bottom, they vitally, concern
the coming or the delay of the Kingdom of God. This
is no hour for fooling, or spending time and strength
on smaller things which do not matter. More thou
once, in the long obeyof the centuries, Christianity
has shifted ite capital, and changed its dress and
method of appeal, that its central glory may be the
eatastropho, the
better understood. If, in this world.
Churches of the Weet ehould fail the Master, and
decline the leadership of the world, then the centre of
the now dynamic will move to the East, and nations
late to hoar of Jesus and accept Him will know the joy
of bringing in the day of Universal Goodwill.

but in free.loving England, we are threatened by an
aggressive, insistent recrudescence of feudalism, and
the military despotism which always accompanies it,
Christians will do well to live in the company of the
glorious challenges closing the ever wonderful eighth
chapter of Romans. Neither history nor literature
possesses anything even approaching it as an equal.
Consider the masterfulness and pride of military display marking the world-empire of Rome! Think of
the numerical feebleness, the despised social position
of those who in that world represented Jesus, and stood
for spiritual ideals contemptuously pitied where they
were not actively resisted! Then picture this &liens
Apostle, who had" gladly suffered the loss of sit things
that he may win Christ and be found in Him," hurling
his fine spiritual defiance against that brutal, military.
loving age, asserting the inviolability of love for Jesus,
and the powerlessness of everything to separate or
prevent victory! With how much more reason, and
with a confidence strengthened by centuries of achievement, may we not face the enormous tasks of Ow
moment, knowing we are well able to go up and
possess the land promised by the Lord our God.

What an encOuragement to this quietly confieb nt
temper, and this boldly defiant spirit, is Lund in the
entire failure of every competitor to the glorious
Evangel of Jesus. Not for the first time, it is true.
Every century has witnessed the overthrow of sonic
rival to the eupremacy of the Son of God. History
is a fine corrector, if not the final cure, of depression.
The Christian need never fear long views. The wider
the vision the more searching the inquiry, the luxe

problem, and to all the sin, of man. But, whili in

Master of the whole field ! This is the outstanding
"sign of the times " of which the Church should
take due note, and concerning which parents,
teachers, and preachers should speak with ever enchaining interest. Never had Sunday-school teachers
such an unhampered field; never had preachers so
ample a gospel, nor a gospel less vulnerable to attack.
Sermons need never again be dull. Christianity holds
the field today against all comers, the humiliation
and failure of every rival being' witness! Using the

THE PRIMITIVE METHODIST LEADER.
A LABOUR LEADER.
"THE PRIMITIVE METHODIST
LEADER."
THE LATE REV, W. PICKERING, B.D.
Mr. S. Jacks,
A Year of Trials and TritiLphs.
One could wish that every member of our Church had
beets s listener at the recent meeting of the ehareholders
of the Lreder, held at Holborn Hall, under the presidency of Rev. W. A. Hammond,' with Rev. G. Armitage
RS monetary. There were reminiscences of the old PrimiLive Methodist papers, there were mngratulations upon
the new. For though the Leader is twelve years old, yet,
as the history of ...papas§ gm., it is only in its youth.
That. which filled every shareholder with delight was the
fact that in en abort a time it had become firmly eetab.
lished in the confidence of our Church, .hed become en
icsdi
leractlei,part of the literary rations of our people,
I
they were willing to pay an increased coat
After hearing the 'Editor'e narration of the lact,e one felt
.atelnl that the price was not higher—ton quite a number of its contemporaries are now sold at twopence, It
washinted that if the war continued and the pries of paper
and printing still therms. it might be evens neceseary to
all the Leader elm at that price, but even that would not,
we think, deter our people from its worthy support. That
necessity, however, hae not arisen, end may, let us hope,
00Ver VISO.
Mr. S. Jack, is a man of no ordinary type. On first,
acquaintance one finds him somewhat difficult to cleanly.
There ie c brusqueness of speech and manner which ie a
little disconcerting. The observant, however, will detect
a kindly glint icc the eye which will immediately not him
at ease. Whatever the mterior may appear to suggest
there shines forth from the eye a large soul with generous
impulses and tender sympathim. He is the very essence
of kindness and generosity, his life-long devotion to seen,
tug the welfare of hie fellows in manifold forms to the
natural outcome of his large heartedneas. In Primitive
Methodism and trade. unionism he has found congenial
spheres in which to merciae his power. and secure her
end..
Born at Ponderebary in the Mineterley Circuit emenly
years ago, he became a member of our church at Dar.
laston in 1866. Last year both he and Mrs. Jack. had the
joy of celebrating their jubilee as members of the church.
Over forty.seven years lance he became a local preacher
on the Bloswich arena, flu, to him is c vocation for
which he her striven to equip himself. To thin work he
coneecrated gifts of no mean order. He her • keen
intellect and a cultured mind, ie an original thinker,
Thursday morning without the Leader is unthinkable,
toe then it ie we entertain end are entertained by an irc
numerable host et the breakfast table, then it is we join
up alresh in the march of our great convex-Sinai movement., then it is we hold fellowship in suffering
and serrice with brethren all over the Land. Wee.
whet ie London and Birmingham and Edinburgh doing?
What news of the coalfields missions? Have our missionaries! arrived safely? Has that Connexional appeal been
snoceasfull Have more of cur 800. fallen in battle? We
ask them and a hundred other questions mneerning old
stations, old friends, and lo, the " lanspread family
join us et Thureday or Friday breakfast. and (newer our
qumtiona They chat with ue, comfort us, inepim us, rebuke on The week-end without the Leudrnl Impoesible!
And it to us the bleating is so great whet is Cl Co our
ipyal song who are absent et the war. How eagerly they
awaitite arrival, and whet a link it is with the old church
and school they have " loved long since and lost awhile."
These were some of the eentimentu expressed at the thereholden' meeting, and it was because the Leader had
ebundantly justified its existence and had proved such a
powerful Prese.ally that every ellareholder wits lull of
gratitude to the men who manage lie affairs. Men?
Teel But after dl, it is the product of personality and
everybody knowx or ought to know, that one man is
mainly responeible for its production, and that no man
et the helm is George Bennett. He wee especially con.
gratulated upqp the fact that, notwithstanding the enormous difficulties of the year the "wider had held its own,
and was bond, weekly, ifi many thousand. of the homes
of our people. It was recognised that Mr. Bennett had
brought hie great powers of initiative and administration
to the service of the Leader, nod that had borne fruit, not
only in economical administration, but in the securing
of e clientele of literary contributor who were delightfully representative of our Church', many aided intereete
and movements. " Does the Editor ever go to bed I" one
director asked, and whilst it came out in evidence that
there were occasions ol eleep it else transpired that five
in the 'morning was often the hour for beginning the
day'e work. It must be remembered that the Editor not
only directs the Louder but he is one of the meet popular
preachere and speakers of our Church, and is in constant
demand in all parts of the muntry. Nor meld we .pare
him from the Connexions] Committee., for who know.
more correctly thee he the state of our Church pulse, and
who ha, a better opportunity of testing the conditions of
the intellectual and spiritual life of our people?
Never were thanks more heartily given, and never more
jestly deeerved—thanks to the Editor, to the genial and
capable manager (Mr. A. C. Vincent) and to the staff. In
hie reply the Editor mid that no man outside the office
could mtimate the difficultiee under which the Leader had
been prcdmed-during the pet year. At the time when,
for three week., the Leader was reduced in sim
they were threatened with paper -famine, and
[several times the cost of paper had rieen, so that
it was now more than 300 per cent. higher then before
the war. Added to that was the greatly increased cost
of printing and the scarcity of labour. They were fortunate in having, as printers, Mmers. Wyman and Sone,
one of the greatest firms in London. He was proud to
say that firm had congratulated their office upon the regularity and promptitude of "copy" eupplied. Mr. Bennett
eke sad there wm [suggestion that their paper might
reeoh a wider constituency by some modifications and
adjmtmente and the (suggestion, mode would be considered
hY the directors. He was deeply convinced that there wae a
Peg Mare before the leader with conaantly increasing
influence. He was glad they were able to .emnt loch a
good statement of account. in war-time. He gratefully
acknowledged the valuable eo-operation of the .tag, and
the eminent and invaluable mrvices rendered to the
busines. aide of the pap. by the chairman of the direetors
(Alderman E. C Rawlings, 3.7.) who never spared time
or energy in promoting • its interests, of Rev. W. A.
Hammond who so carefully managed their finances, of
Mr. 11. H. Bowyer, the capable secretary of the company,
and of Mr. A. a Vincent, who had been the manager of
the paper from its commencement, and whose servicm
could' not be set forth in words. That the Leader really
"leads and is worldly of a place in every Primitive
Methodist home was the convon of every director and
shareholder et then hearty and representative annual
meeting.

An Appreciation. .
By

M. T. Pickering.

blood but that higher kinship of,soul had made him
pleasant and prmious. Behind were we

thought we saw the lane of life araching far ahead, and
the privilege of further and fuller comradeship and fellowship. Ilia face was ever to the stun rising. He ever looked
out and welcomed life's to-morrows Hie was never the
backward look, except to learn how better to live and slave
the future. Only a few weeke ego we heard him speak of
his deep yearning to help hie people and nation in the
.train and sorrow of thou hour, and in the reconstruction
which meet follow. We knew it not then ; his work here
was almost ended. God needed him elnwhere. The out

were He could never reprove himself over wasted hours
and ymre, or misused opportunities. We know no man
who took life more mriously, or worked 01007 aseiduouely.
He was a camel.. worker. Every moment was used either
in the culture of mind and heart, or the doing of the daily
tears of the ministry. We sometimes asked him to pain
a little for breath on the journey, but the puma were few
and brief.
He had great gilts, as his attainmenta in the schohatic
world show. Whet a diligent student he was? Before his
entrance into the ministry he won an exhibition, and as a
result had three years' training in the Royal College of
Science, London, where he gained an associnteship in
Chemistry (fleet clam). In college and on probation he
almost invariably stood et the top of the list. He took
his RD. as London University. Since then he paseed his
first exam. for London BA., and he/day, been given him

of mind end heart were used in the preaching ol the Word.

to the Conference of that year. The Oldham church.es
still strongly desire to connect the visit of the chief coorl

be as appropriately celebrated then m in 1910, and addihima interest would be crested by the fact that it would
