Young pastors, in the literary clubs of their various communities, are surprised by being called to discuss plausible papers on Buddhism, which some fellow-member has contributed, and they are expected to defend the truth. Or some young parishioner has been fascinated by a plausible Theosophist, or has learned from Robert Elsmere that there are other religions quite as pure and sacred as our own.
Not a few of them were conspicuous actors on the stage of political life. Lord Robert Seymour, from whose diary I have quoted, died in 1831, after a long life spent in the House of Commons, which he entered in 1771, and of which for twenty-three years he was a fellow-member with Edmund Burke. Let me linger for a moment on that illustrious name.
It was a thin House, and a very thin joke; something about the Anglo-Saxon race having a great many angles. It is possible that it was unintentional, but a fellow-member, who did not wish it to be supposed that he was asleep because his eyes were shut, laughed.
Brother Michael and his fellow-member exchanged their shots in an honorable manner and, while we mourn the sudden decease of our friend lost to us, our friend who survives has suffered no diminution of our affectionate regard.

At the last meeting of our Sunshine Club, for instance as the result of a short but heated argument Brother Michael, here, felt called upon to shoot a fellow-member.
Comfortable looking Mr. Dodd of the prudential committee, with his chin-tuft of yellow beard, is cast for the part of the villain, but will play it badly; he would have been better suited to a comedy part. Young Mr. Worthington left Brampton on the five o'clock train, and at six Mr. Dodd met his fellow-member of the committee, Judge Graves. "Called a meetin'?" asked Mr.
The "other gentlemen" said that they were happy to make the acquaintance of their fellow-member from Leith, and seemingly with one consent began to edge towards the door. "Don't go, boys," Mr. Bascom protested. "Let me finish that story." Some of "the boys" seemed to regard this statement as humorous, more humorous, indeed, than the story itself.
Crewe continued, "through a fellow-member who has no use for it whose intelligence, in fact, is underrated by the gentlemen in Number Seven. I will read the slip. "'Vote yes on the question.
