There is most sensible evangelist
in New York. He does not preach
much but goes around among the
dens and "dives" feeding the hungry
with all the energy he has and the
means he can scrape together. His
name is John Wilberforce Kennion.
The other day he celebrated the eighth
anniversary of the Christ's Cleft mis-
sion in ferry house. A hundred
and more ragamuffins were there,
tramp men who have no homes, no
shelter and beg, starve and die in the
streets. Kennion treated them to hot
coffee, two sandwiches apiece, and a
couple of extra hampers of bread. He
did not say word about religion, be-
cause all the banqueters knew him
and understood that the feast was
spread for Gods sake. Another free
viii offering was chunk of soap to
each one as he left the banquet hall
where feeding the hungry was the
sermon and next came suggestion
of cleanliness. And all took soap.

A story comes from the far away
orient, from the region of Mount
Carmel, that not long since the peo-

an animal such as they had never be-
fore seen or heard of. The villagers
had pursued and killed it, but had ut
terly failed in their efforts to skin it.
An American gentlemen travelling in
those parts was called upon to exam
inc the animal and if possible to give
an opinion. He did as requested, and
pronounced the verdict that it was
an American skunk. How the ami
NAL reached Syria remains a puzzle
but its appearance there is not caldh-
