ORDINATION OF A DEACON.
Rev. BreYard D. Sinclair Received Into
the Episcopal Church.
Bishop Graves Also Administers the
Rite of Confirmation to
Class.

At st. Pauls Church yesterday morn
ing Rev. Brevard D. Sinclair, for many
years leading Presbyterian minister,
was ordained a deacon in the protest.
ant Episcopal Church by Bishop
Graves
The ceremony was a very impressive
one. Bishop Graves took for his text
I Timothy ill.,. g: Likewise must the
deacons be grave, not double-tongued,
not given to much wine, not greedy of
filthy lucre; holding the mystery of
the faith in a pure conscience.
He said that it was not long before
the church, in the times of the apostles,
found the need of another order OF min
listers. to spread the gospel and per-
form a certain class of duties. After
the day of Pentecost and the coming
of the Holy Ghost their duties began to
increase. Without consultation, and
moved only be their needs, they met
together and selected seven deacons.
Primarily they were to look after the
finances of the church and look after
the poor, and after that those who were
able and had ability were to preach the
Gospel.
1t was a two-fold duty, partly finan-
cial and partly spiritual. 1t would be
we'll if every parish could have one
or more deacons to attend to the poor
and the finances. The deaconate had
of late, although he did not think it
was right, been made a stepping-stone
to the priesthood, after a year passed
in probation. He would devote most
of his remarks to the spiritual side of
the question, and take up the text point
by point. The deacon should be grave
and not double-tongued, but straight
forward He should neither SANDER
nor encourage slander in others. He
should not be given to much wine nor
any other eXceSSeS. He should not
become a glutton, and should keep all
fieshly desires we'll in hand, and show
by his example in whose service he
was engaged He should sometimes
avoid things that were innocent in
themselves as an example to others of
control of animal desires.
Last of all comes greediness of lu-
ere. He should carefully see that
all money in his hands is strictly ac
counted for and was properly used. He
should have the care of souls also, and
show by his conduct that he was fit
for the duties he had taken on him.
self.
He then ordained Mr.. Sinclair, and
those present partook Of the Holy Com
munion.
In the evening he confirmed a class
of candidates, the second he has con-
firmed since he came here. Mr.. Sin
clair will for the present assist Rev.
c. l.. Mel, who has established two
missions in this city outside of st.

LAFAYETTE'S VISIT TO AMERICA
There Was Great Excitement Over His
Trip to the United States.

Jean Fraley Hallowell, who writes in
the Ladies' Home Journal" of When
Lafayette Rode into Philadelphia"
says that 'it is difficult to understand,
at this late day, what a furore of excite
ment passed over this country when
Lafayette arrived once more in Amer-
ca. The visit is an historic event to be
remembered while memory endures.
During President Monroe's second ad-
ministration the United States extended
its invitation to Lafayette. He arrived
at Staten Island on August Is (Sunday),
1924, accompanied by his son, George
Washington Lafayette, and also by his
son-in-law. A formal reception took
place on the following day-the first
fruits of the most abundant harvest of
welcome which. Lafayette was to re-
ceive during his year of travel through
the [ lited States.
''La -ayette was 67 years old when
he visited America as the nations guest,
and carried his years lightly. His head
was shaped like that of Burns. He had
high forehead, long, aquiline nose, and
a rather thin face. His hair was sandy
and quite plentiful. His eyes were dark
gray, restless and twinkling; his eye
brows, light in color, but heavily
marked. His mouth was firm, and his
lips smiled courteously at the holiday
crowd assembled to do him honor. The
General was not very tall, but well
made. His face was distinctly pleasant,
and it's expression was an odd mixture
of shrewdness, decision and gay good
humor. His costume was a swallow
tailed coat and trousers of dark brown
with great display of white waistcoat
and neckcloth. bunch of seals hung
from broad black ribbon at his waist.
Over his shoulders hung a cloth riding
cloak, greenish blue in color and lined
with red

Dangerous Joking.

Il suppose" said Mr.. Bowling Green
to Mr.. South Church. that navigating
a prairie schooner might be called plain
sailing"
1T might" replied the Boston man,
were it not that the term plane sail
ing is a nautical one and that the word
plane is spelt far differently from the
plain meaning of prairie. 1t refers to
the navigation of the ocean treated as
plane surface, in contradistinction of
the surface of a spheroid"
Which shows how dangerous it is to
try to joke with a Boston man.
