il such office Is imposed upon them, then
they can hold the position, providing it
does not compromise their Gospel princl-

NO ''Me Luds'' nor Your Graces' wanted
IN the Virginia Diocese.

The proposition being mooted to divide
the country occupied by the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United States into
archdiocese and have archbishopS, the N.
y. Herald has addressed all the Bishops of
the church for their opinions of it. The
following is Bishop Whites answer:
In reply to your inquiries, as Bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the United
States do not believe that it is necessary or
advisable to divide the country into arch
dioceses, to the end that the temporal welfare
of the Church may be enhanced because of
closer organization.
| do not favor the elevation of certain bish-
oprics into metropolitan jurisdictions, thus
creating archdiocese.
| do not think that the Capitalization of the
disciplinary and governing power by means
of archdiocese in the parent Church of Eng
land tends to increase its efficiency in glorify-
ing God and saving souls, though itmay make
it more powerful as an ecclesiastical organi-
cation. FRANCIS NJ. WHTrTLE,
Bishop of Virginia.

George W. Childs on Vacations.

My rule has been to follow faithfully
that line of business for which [ felt the
consciousness of being adapted. In this
view l selected the newspaper, and to it
| devote my time and talents. I follow
out the one line of business pursuit
rather than engage in many. A few
days ago certain gentlemen came to me
to ask me to engage with them in the
line of banking. Il am not a banker"
said l. 81 III a newspaper man"
But" they persisted, I'VE do not ask
for your time, but only your name, ana
the use of your name to us will be worth
100000 a year to you" did not, how
ever, accede to their request. 1 had no
inclination to engage with them in the
pursuit of banking, because it was out
side of my line, and having more than
enough money to meet mymodest neces-
sites, and without a child in the world.
| did not feel like taking 800, 900 each
year for doing nothing to earn it.
The great trouble with mankind is to
stick to that pursuit of which they have
knowledge. Some men get strangely
mixed up. happen to know a banker
in this town, with good general informa-
ton, but with no aptitude for banking.
Yet he plods along in his line, acquiring
nothing, you may say, and at times the
necessities of his business have COM
PEELED him to raise money on the family
plate. Now, he is out of his line, and
will fail, probably, until he finds that
which is his real bent and gravitates to
it.-Interyiew in Cincinnati Enquirer.
