evangelical society for carrying on both Home and Foreign 
Missions; Dr. Carl Roland Martin, Assistant Professor of 
Practical Divinity, author of Sveriges Forsta Svenska 
Missa; Dr. E. Billing, Professor of Dogmatic Theology, 
son of the Bishop of Lund; and Dr. Soderberg, Chancellor 
of the Cathedral. The only layman present was the well- 
known historian, Dr. Harald Hjirne, Professor of Modern 
History, a member of the Swedish Academy. 
Some account of this conference was given in the London 
Guardian, 20th October, 1909, pp. 1668-9, in an article 
headed ¢ The Conference at Upsala,’ which was written 
by Dr. Mason. 
Since then a committee has been appointed in Sweden to

is contained in a little volume of diocesan addresses de-

1910). It was an address to a conference of the Dean, 
Archdeacons, and Rural Deans, of the diocese of Salisbury, 
delivered 2nd November, 190g, and consisted of a slight 
sketch of the visit of the Commission, and of the history 
and organization of the Church of Sweden. 
My interest in the work in which we are engaged led, 
however, to my receiving an invitation from the trustees of 
the Western Theological Seminary, dated 10th December, 
1909, to deliver the Hale Lectures on the foundation of my 
old friend, Bishop Hale of Cairo, on the Mississippi, 
Bishop Coadjutor of Springtield, the subject chosen being 
‘The National Church of Sweden.” This invitation,
