PERSONAL.
Mfr. Carmichael Is tbirp-four years old,
and has wife and three children. lie was
educated in Dublin, Ireland, but has been
rector OF the Church OF the Ascension for
some seven years. lie is about five feet ten
md bali inches tall, holds bimself erect,

TUE CALL.
II is more than probable that Mr.. Car
michael will receive an official call TO 1t.
Psups church before he leaves the city. The
committee who went TO Canada 10 hear bin
after he had been recommended by the elo-
quent Rainsiord, OF New York, were very
fsyoraby impressed with HIM, and having
been clothed with that power, they inior-
mally invited him 20 come here with view
TO a call. He came 10 the city that be might
see what his surroundings would be should
he decide TO come TO st. Pauls ana that the
congregation oi that church might have an
opportuniiv OF hearing him. No church
IN the United States could extend bin call
while he was in Canada, as II would be
violation Of tho terms OF the treaty "against
the importation OF foreign labor"
This is MIR. CarmichaePs first visit TO the
South.
