WARRIOR AND CHRISTIAN.
“YYe should not like, even if we were able, to say how many times we have crossed swords with Dr. Clifford, whose retirement from active work at 'West-bourne Park Chapel, after fifty yotjjis of ministry there, is announced,” writes the “Church Times.” “Behind and beneath the militancy with which we were wont to enter the lists against him we cherished an inward respect for his prowess. “The hardest blows daunted him not at all, and in his green old age he proved himself as good a lighter as he was in his breezy youth. Dr. Clifford is a splendid example of what can bo done, in spite of adverse circumstances, by a person, of grit. ••With untiring prosevera nee and never-failing confidence he succeeded in educating himself, with what sue cess liis throe degrees with honors in the University of London sufficiently testify. We desire to associate ourselves with those who have expressed anil will express their best wishes bolus long life and happiness.”
