OLD ST. DAVIES AT RADxoR
BY HENRY W. LoNerELLow.

What an image Of peace and rest
Is this little church among its graves
All is so quiet; the troubled breast
The wounded spirit, the heart oppressed,
Here many find the rep0se it Graves.
See how the ivy climbs and expands
ever this humble hermitage,
And seems to caress with its little hands
The rough, gray stones, as a child that stands
Caressing the wrinkled cheeks of age
You cross the threshold. and dim and small
Is the spuce that serves for the Shepherd
fold;
The narrow isle, the bare white wall,
The peWs, and the pulpit quaint and tall,
Whisper and say, "Alasl we are old"
Herbert's chapel at Bemerton
Hardly mere spacious is than this,
But Poet and Pastor, blent in one,
Clothed with q s%plendOr. as of the sun,
That lowly and holy ediice.
1t is not the wall of stone without
That makes the building small or great,
But the SOULS light shining round about,
And the faith that overcometh doubt,
And the love that stronger is than hate.
We're 1 a pilgrim in search of peace,
We're | a pastor of Holy Church,
More than a bishops diocese
Should | prize this place of rest and releasl
From further longing and further search.
Here would I stay, and let the world
With its distant thunder roar and roll;
Storms do not rend the sail that is furled.
Nor like a dead leaf, tossed and whirled
In an eddy Of wind, is the anchored soul
-lFrOm the Jun Lippincott.

reporter called upon the consul sew
eral days after the explosion, and
inquired as to his condition and the
developments of the case.
II have been troubled with a severe
headache" said the consul" which |
think was caused by the conclusion at
the time of the explosion, and l am
still suffering from some pain in m
left hand. My friends thought that
perhaps there might have been some
poison placed in the explosive sub
stance, the injurious effects of which
would show themselves later. But
the third day has passed, and their
fears seemed to have proved unbound
ed. But | have surely had a very
narrow escape.
And all the trouble was occasion
ed by this innocent-looking box"
continued Senior de Uriarte, taking
from a drawer the she'll which had en-
closed the machine. The cylindrical
box was fitted with a cover, and re-
sembled a m~usic-case as much as
anything, although it was a little too
small to make the comparison exact.
Attached to the cover were looped
wires, at the end of which was fasten-
ed a cork, from which projected the
heads of several matches or sticks Of
illuminate, set entirely around the cir
cumterence. The box itself was
made by wrapping lamp.chimney in
stiff black cardboard. The lining
was made Of sand-paper, against which
the matches were to ignite as the
cover was removed, the cork being
Embedded in gunpowder. Below this
was a substance which experts have
pronounced to be dynamite, which
was to explode by the conclusion
Under all came a plug of plaster o.
Paris.
1.-THE fault in the construction o.
the machine" explained Consul dc
Uriarte, was in the selection of the
wrong number of the preparation Of
dynamite, so that it was simply blown
out with the plug, without exploding
Had the proper preparation been useC
the result would have been much
more disastrous"
Being asked whether his suspic
ions pointed to any particular person
Senior de Uriarte said: II still hav,
no knowledge of the identity of the
perpetrators of this attempt upon my
life. As soon as anything is discov.
cred it will be known. In the mean
time [ would prefer to say nothing o.
my surmises. The case is a public
matter, and is in the hands Of tn,
proper authorities. AS for this littll
machine, it is a very pretty little box.
and | shall keep it as an interesting
souvenir

church was ~consecrated by Bishop
Moore Of the diocese Of New York,
who had set apart a parish called st.
james. The Rev. Mr.. Harris read
the prayer on the occasion, and the
Rev. Mr.. Jones delivered the ser
mon. Several years before many of
the residents Of the city had built
summer residences in this part of the
island on the East and North rivers.
A number of these consulted together
and decided to erect a church. At
the crest of the hill at Sixty-ninth
street-where the Normal college now
stands-a piece Of ground was set
apart by the city for the erection of a
church edi6ce. The st. James peo-
pie obtained permission from the
council and put up st. James's church
in 1910. Until 1920 it stood solitary
on the crest Of the hill. There was
not a house on Harlem Commons.
Fifteen years after, the village of
Yorkville sprang up. One ofthe pages
of the Trinity parish records has a
petition praying for assistance in the
erection Of the building and, onlMay
II, seventy-one years ago, that parish
granted 5000. For thirty years after
the establishment of st. James's
Church the same rector oficiated both
at st. James and st. Michael's-oue
the pioneer church on the east side
and the other on the west. From
1913 to 1920, the rector was the Rev.
Mr.. Jarvis from 1920 to 1893. the
Rev. William Richmond l838-1843.
james Cook Richmond. In 1913 the
two churches separated. The Rev.
DR.. HARDWOOD was called in 1916, and
was rector until 1850, when he was sue
ceeded by Rev. Peter Schiermerthorn
Chauncey, who was rector until 1866.
The present rectorship began in 1866
fourteen years ago. During the
first sixteen OF the existence Of the
church there was but one service on
Sunday. In 1927 the church was
opened for the first time in winter.
The records of the church show that
the Harlem railroad company was re-
quested to build a fOotpath to the
church, and build steps, which the
excavations for the road had made
necessary. In 1867 the old building
was torn down and the present edifice
erected in Seventy-second street.
Historical addresses were delivered
in the evening by the Rev. DR..
Peters and the Rev. DR.. Tiffany.

The st. James (Episcopal) church,
on Seventy-second street, near Third
avenue, celebrated its SEVENTEEN an
niversary yesterday morning and
evening. A number of New York
families, whose ancestors attended the
church when it was five miles out Of
town, were in attendance. The chan
eel was deliberately decorated with
flowers and plants, The services
were conducted by the rector, the
Rev. Cornelius b. Smith, assisted by
the Rev. @. II. Bonnell; the prayer
book used on the occasion was the old
one in use in the year 1910.
An historical address was delivered
by the rector. Seventy years ago, he
said, a wooden church stood at Sixty
ninth street, and Lexington avenue,
at that time FIVE miles in the country.
On Sundays, in those days, a hundred
wagons brought the worshipers from
different directions, and the horses
were tied to the adjacent fences, The
