CALLS BISHOP “OLD BOY”

Methodist Says Episcopalian Treats Him as If He Were an Old Pal. London. —One of the papers prints a letter from. a Methodist chaplain now in camp. “The men greeted me kindly in the mess,” he writes, “but I am not used to being saluted by men when I walk from my tent or lift up my head. I can not walk a foot without being honored as if I were a king. But as a balance I in turn must salute the general and colonel, which my Independent spirit does not welcome, though they are very. nice to me. Neither do I like the circumscribed area in which I move.” >

The bishop of London is in the same camp, occupying a wooden building On the door of which is painted “Ladies’ Club Room.” His rjelations with his nonconformist colleague seem to be very cordial, from the following: “The bishop I found exceedingly nice. He will call me ‘old boy,’ as if I were a pal and an old u pal of his. He asked me to read the lesson at his service last night, and to give the address next Sunday night, and to read prayers for him at the parade service next Sunday, which I shall do. I cannot exaggerate his graciousness and brotherliness, though that word is not sufficient.”
