A Century of World Changes

The wonderful history-making epoch in which we are living is better appreciated if we illustrate it by some concrete example. The Rev. Thomas Lord, for instance, the oldest minister in the Congregational Church of England, died a short time ago at the age of about 101 years. He lived under five reigning monarchs; he could well remember the celebrations after the battle of Waterloo. During his ministry he preached over ten thousand sermons, drank no spiritous liquors, never used tobacco, and took a large amount of exercise in walking. He certainly saw wonderful changes in the development of the world.
