Pastor of Calvary
Presbyterian
to Retire.
Members of Wealthy
Congregation Will
Be Surprised.
Action Due Primarily to the
Shock Sustained by Wife's
Sudden Death.

The congregation OF Calvary Presby-
terrain Church, the largest. wealthiest and
most influential of the denomination in
the State. will be grieved to learn that
DR.. John Hemphill has determined to re-
sign his charge and return to the land OF
his birth Only to a few of the trustees
of the church Is the pastors decision
known.
The cause Of Or. Hemphill's resignation
arises from no dissatisfaction among the
congregation or from any decrease in
popularity. The church is one Of the most
beautiful and substantial in the State
and it's income is more than ample to
meet all expenses and to assist with un-
stinted hberality the many smaller ones
which have been established throughout
the State
The reasons that have led to DR..
Hemphill's resignation are entirely per-
sonal. and arise from the utter prostra-
ton resulting from the sudden death of
his dearly loved wife. Rarely has a mar
ried couple lived together with greater
harmony and affection The loss OF Mrs.
Hemphill has proved a blow from which
the survivor cannot recover He has de-
termined therefore to settle up his affairs
here and return to his birthplace. and
amid the familiar scenes OF boyhood to
try to regain his normal health and
spirits.
Dr. Hemphill is a native OF Mayhem
felt, County Derry. north Of Ireland.
Twenty-Five years ago he was called to
the pulpit of Calvary Church. and
preached successfully for number Of
years. when he left to accept a call TO
the Arch-street Presbyterian Church.
Philadelphia. and remained there FIVE
years. Old preferences and the influence
of his wife drew him back 10 the coast.
ST. Johns called him and subsequently
he was persuaded to resume his old pull
pit. He feels that bis work is done The
church is prosperous and out of debt,
with a splendid future before it, With an
unconquerabIe depression upon him. Dr.
Hemphill feels that he must make
change

Plans to Put End
to National
Evil.
Has Taken the Matter
up With Members
of the Cabinet.
Announcement Made by Arch
bishop Farley in
New York.
Special Dispatch to tn. Call

NEW YORK, June 19.-In an address
delivered tonight by Archbishop Farley
at Carnegie Hall at the commencement
exercises of the College of St. Francis
Xavier, the announcement was made
that the President had taken up the di-
vorce problem with the Cabinet with a
view of putting an end to the national
evil The Archbishop stated that he had
been authoritatively informed that the
administration is seeking definite rem
edy. The impression created by the re-
marks was that a national divorce law
is under consideration.
Archbishop Farley declared that the
evils of divorce were fast undermining
the walls of our society and that the
whole structure would shortly collapse
should no hand be raised TO ward on the
advance of this tendency The Arch
bishop spoke in part as follows:
II believe no President since Washing
tons time has had more beneficial eff
feet on the roots of society and the fam
lily than Roosevelt has by means of his
frank declaration Not only does the
President preach the doctrine he be-
lieves. but he exemplifies it in his own
life and his own family stands as an IL
lustTaticn of what the nations executive
thinks and says of the race standards
1T is likewise gratifying to ind that
the President has not confined his labors
in this direction to his own circle wholly,
but the fact is made known to me that
the Cabinet has taken this question up
and will deal with it. When the heads
of our Government take up a problem of
this grave nature there can be no need
for the people doubling that the situa-
ton must be gravely considered. and we
feel that much good will be done If eff
fort is properly directed"

GOLD IS FOUND
IN CHANNEL Of !.
ANCIENT RIVER
Important Discovery in
the Country Between
Tanana and Nome.

TACOMA, June ia prehistoric gla-
cial highway carrying gold has been dis
covered running across Alaska from the
northern part of Tanana Valley toward
the Nome country. Samuel Kincaid. who
has reached Dawson from Fairbanks,
bringing this news says:
"An ancient channel of gravel crosses
Alaska from the Upper Tanana toward
Nome and Boring Sea- The channel
seems to be the course of an ancient
river. 1t is only few miles wide, but is
well defined. believe that in that chan
mel gold will be found at great many
points if not nearly everywhere along its
course. Evidently it was an immense
glacial highway in which gold was de-
posted. in prehistoric times. "

tended spelling schools in Green
field, and, like the little boys, stood
up ard spoke his piece. The author
must be now somewhat advanced in
years, and, like ourselves, he may
be rather forgetful, so fearing that
that while in his mind he has been
busy tidYing one mothers kitchen
and stacking grain for the father
of another old Greenfield settler, he
will as he has so far done forget to
write of one of the most peculiar of
all the other old settlers.
We will remind him that on the
banks Of the Baraboo, near the
Tucker bridge, resided one Jeptha
Jackson, and his good wife. Mr..
Jackson was one ofthe early settlers
and like others of them he endured
hardships. His habituaI smile
could be seen at all times. We re-
MEMBER havlng seen him returning
from town astride his faithful
beast, but whether he were a,fOot
or a-horse-back was question he
could not have answered himself.
After the hop crash he found
himself in possession of more house
room than ready money to replen-
ish which he turned part of his
house into a public dancing hall.
His way of farming failed to be
remunerative one and he conceived
the idea of becoming an inventor
and accumilating a fortune, but
before the wonderful work of art
reached completion both it and it's
author were objects dear to memo
rY only.

Joseph Conradi of st. Louis, has
erected in the Lady Chapel of St.
Joseph's church an altar of marble
and onyx. Father Durward said to
the sculptor: make me the Litany
of Loretto in stone, accompanying
the order with a rough drawing.
There are in the predella a relief
in statuary marble of the "Pieta'
which shows Mary holding the dead
Christ on her knees, and gives US
those titles: Mother of Christ,
"Mother of the Redeemer," Etc. j.,
as also those titles that call her
Queen of Martyrs, /" "Comforter
of the Afflicted" Etc.
Flanking the "Pieta" there are
two panels, one of roses and one Of
lilies, reminding of the mystical
Rose" and the Lilly of Purity" re-
minding also by the inscription
thereon that Mary gave a human
body to Him Whose Blood glows
red in the roses and whose body
whiteus in the lilies"
The tabernacle sums up the titles
ARK of the Covenant" House OF
Gold, Gate of Heaven" in that it
will be used for containing the Holy
Eucharist, and Flower of David

Above the tabernacle CLEANS the
