THE GENESIS OF THE EXPERIMENT

After years of waiting for time and place and person,the Rev. Walter Drury, an average Methodistpreacher, was ready to begin his Experiment.
The process of getting adjusted to its conditions was ended. He believedthat, if he had health and nothing happened to his mind, he might counton at least eight years more at First Church, Delafield—a ten-yearpastorate is nothing wonderful in to-day's Methodism. The right preachermakes his own time limit.
He would not think himself too good for Delafield, but neither did herate himself too low. He just felt that he was reasonably secure againstpromotion, and that he need not be afraid of "demotion." There are suchmen. They are a boon to bishops.
