Recollections of Abraham Lincoln" by
G. w. Harris, a law student under
Lincoln in 1916, which contains many
new facts of interest.
Will some person who really knows,
and knows for certain. please favor
1ong-suffering reading public with a
correct location of the birth place of
the gifted author, Maurice Thompson?
l had always supposed that he was
born in or near Calhoun. Ga. and
correspondent frem that place recent
~ wrote to an Atlanta paper that VIII
Thompson, the authors brother, was
visiting the old homestead. But in
the National Magazine for April, 1908,
Langdon Knight gives his birthplace as
Brookville, Ind, and prints a picture
of a plain two-story frame house, in
which he was born. his father being
minister of the gospel. Now Edward
Young Clark, Jr., in the last Sunny
South, says Thompson was born In
Fairfield, Ind, in 1874. This would
make him only II years old when the
Civil War opened, and yet Clarke say
he became q civil, engineer, and adds:
This profession he pursued for several
years until he entered the services OF
the Confederate government during the
Civil War. He entered the Thirteenth
Georgia Battalion, and later was trans
ferred to the Sixty-third Georgia Troop
of Infantry. A little later, because
marked bravery. he was promoted to
the station of third lieutenant OF cav
airy, and still later, became major
general of the engineer corps" Now,
I will bet a dollar against doughnut
that a more remarkable military para
graph was never penned by human
being. Just think of a troop" of in
fantry, and the station" of third lieu
tenant bestowed for marked bravery"
But most remarkable of all, he jumps
from that pumping station" to be
major general of engineers" And
yet, we old soldiers have always sup
posed that the late Gen. Jeremy F.
Gilmer of Savannah, was the only
"rnajor general of engineers" there was
in the Confederate Army. Some one
ought to write a reliable biography of
Maurice Thompson. Was he a native
Georgian or an adopted son who. after
the war. returned to his birthplace, or
native state of Indiana?

THEATERS AND CHURCHES.
Another Proof Than One Supple
ments the other.
From the World To-day

From the World To-day.
During the last six months, several
English and American clergymen have
been making an interesting effort to
revive the use of the theater as an
adjunct to the church. Recognizing
the potential instructive value of the
theater. they think it should supple
ment direct popular amusements; and
that church influence can best ele-
vate the theater. Last winter the Rev.
FORBES Phillips, of Confession, Eng
land, established a dramatic society
in his own parish, and advocates the
establishment of like organizations
throughout the United Kingdom. An
other notable outcome of this church
and theater movement is the Actors
Church Alliance. which has $500 men,
bers in 400 cities of the United States,
Canada, Hawaii, and the Philippines.
OF this organization Bishop Peter is
president and Joseph Jefferson vice
PRESIDENT. Its secretary, the Rev.
Walter E. Bentley. has transformed
the basement of his church in New
York into theatrical auditorium.
However successful or unsuccessful
such ministerial undertakings may be
from a practical point of view, they
are strong testimonials of the in
structive value of the theater.

COURTS TOPASS ON NUNS GARB
STEPS TO TEST THEIR RIGHTS
,- IN PERLIC SCHOOLS

fhe Question whether they May wear
Their Clerical Dress while Teaching in
the Public Schools Brought I p Squarely
for the First Tine In This state.
LIMA. n. v, June l3.-Father FitzSi-
mons declares that the question which has
come up here, OF whether nuns may wear
clerical clothes while teaching In the public
schools, will be carried to the highest court
il necessary TO establish the rights Of the
sisters in the matter. The question has
never been decided souarely in this State.
On all previous occasions It has been CONF
plicated by some controversy about the
ownership Of the school building where
the sisters taught. 1t has always heen
some building owned by the Catholic
Authorities
But in this town the building in which
the controversy has arisen Ia owned by the
public. 20 that there is no question a. to the
precise issue. 1t is hatly and squarely
whether Roman Catholics in the various
hol. orders may wear their garb while
teaching in the public schools Of New York
State. Father Fitzsinons is hard fighter
when he engages in a controversy. and there
isstherefore n prospect that the question
will be finally settled.
For thirty years there has been Catholic
school In Lima. The teachers were nuns
and the building was owned by the Catho-
lies. But theirs was . public school and
the teachers wore ordinary garb.
About a year ago the question came up
whether nuns could 60 into the school
.eem wearing the dress Of their order and
zach Protestant children. The Rev. Al
,-ert X. Bates pastor OF the Presbyterian
Church Of Lima, was active in opposing
the proposition. He went to Rochester
and enlisted the support Of the Presbytery
Of that city. and some OF the more inhuen-
tial Rochester preachers came here to look
over the situation. Among these was the
Rv. William r. Taylor. pastor of Brick
Presbyterian Church.
SIhe ciergymen decided that il was bad
thing to let the nuns into the public schools.
and II was determined to make hght.
!n the meantime School Trustee Patrick
Hendrick. whose brother ID the Rev Thomas
A. Hendrick. member Of the State Board
o. Regents, who was spoken OF IN connec-
typ with the appointment Of an Arch
