AN EXTRAORDINARY REvELArros.-A 70.
markabie story Is told in the London Record bv
a clergyman who signs his name and vouches
tof the truth Of what he says. 1t seems that
the minister of certain parish died year or
80 ago, appointing as his executors two friends
ooth Oh whom were admirals in the British
navy. Among his effects was a bulky package
sealed up carefully and endorsed, 'Inviolably
sacred; to be destroyed" After mature DELHI
Grafton, the executors decided that as faithful
trustees of what their friend had left behind
him, they could not destroy anything without
at least knowing what they were destroying.
So they opened the envelope and found therein
two documents, one of which was dispense
ton from the Pope permitting the deceased to
retain his position as clergyman of the
Church of England, though actually priest of
the Church of Rome; the other document con-
tanned list of clergymen in the same diocese
or its vicinity, who were in possession of SINH
Tor dispensations, and consequently to be relied
on for sympathy and cooperation in case of
necessity. If this statement was not made by
well known and responsible clergyman, it
would be set down as an obvious attempt at
imposition.
