OF all the canting trustees, the Rev. Alfred
Blewett-unless he is the subject of grossly
false charces-is the most pious and the most
successful. The man who could sO0the an
anxious suppliant for her money by gently and
pcrsuasvely singing " Sweet Hour of Prayer"
deserves more fame and more money than he
seems TO have secured.

the document is too recent 10 allow It's pro-
visions 10 be misunderstood by those who
were parties 10 it. The full text Of the dis

while this question was not formally raised, he
was in doubt whether the award was binding.
