ter Behind the Cloth.
The late Bishop Selwyn, Of New Zea-
land and Melanesia, was well known
during his university days at oxford as
a devotee of the noble art Of self-de-
Tense, says the Washington News. He
incurred a great deal of animosity from
q certain section in New Zealand, owing
to his sympathy with the Maoris during
the war. One day he was asked by a
rough in one OF the back streets of
Auckland il he was the bishop who
backed up the Maoris." Receiving a
reply in the affirmative, the rough, with
Take that, them struck h S lordsh!p
in the face.

Bible teaches me that if n an smite
thee on one check. turn him the other,
and he tuned his head the other way.
His assailant, slightly bewildercd,
struck him again.
Now" said his lordship. having
done my duty to God, will do my duty
to man." and. taking Off his coat and
hat, he gave the anti Maori champion q
most scientific thrashing
On another occasion he was going
down the river Walkato with a Maori,
when the latter, who was very lazy
left off padding the canoe. at the same
time muttering that if Selwyn W re not
a bishop he would-well. go for him. "
In a moment the bishop told the man
to turn the canoe ashore, where, strip
ping himself of everything episcopal, he
said, pointing to his robes, etc:
The Bishop lies there; the man is
here. l am quite ready, come on.
The Maori did not come on" how
| ever. but quietly resumed his work
without another murmur.
