A Vigorous Preacher.

The Rev. F. W. Macdonald. a celebrated London preacher, is an uncle ta Rudyard Kipling. It is probably a surprise to a good many people that the great author ever had an uela, '1 ne Rev. Macdonald la a prominent Methodist, said to make as choice and vigorous use of good Saxon words as his famous nephew. He is a brother to Rudyard’s mother, their father also being a minister. Thus it will be seen that the talented author comes rightly by such of the serious material as en-

ters into the composition of Ms work. Where he got the other sort is as he himself might say. another story.

RE.V F. W. MACDONALD.
