He wrote 1t some fifteen years ago, when he was really In his prime. Two years ago he made his own dramatization of the story and the play was produced at the Drury Lane thatre, London. where it scored won derful success and ran for over year. MT. Caine has released the American rights to Wilton Lackaye, who was seen for the first time in St. Louis, on Mon day, September Is.

 Three hundred years have brought many changes in the church whose prog ress and growth have kept step with that of the nation. Where the Jamestown con- gregation "did hang a awning which Is an old sail. to three UT four trees' and so establish the first church of this faith in the new world, there are now 1b0 Epis- copal houses of worship in the United States. Where good Maister Hunt with his optimism, his patience and his indom- itable faith ministered alone to the little handful of homesick set -iers there are now $500 ordained minis clB to do the work, and each has the encoura cement of the optimism the patience and the faith of the others. Where 105 disheart- ened souls gathered from their log cabins and came to the services under the flow ering trees in the spring of 1907. there are now S30,OO0 comfortably housed people holding church membership throughout the land, and they are so many living monuments to that faith that made early Jamestown possibility.
 The Jamestown church was not the first contact that the Episcopal church mad with the shores of North America. It was merely the first permanent evidence of this contact. On board John Cabots ship was a chaplain who celebrated the Holy Eucharist on the Icy shores of the new world on St Johns day, in Decem Der, 1497 The first Protestant mission ary in all America was a minister or the Church of England, one Wolfall. who came as chaplain with Frobisher in 1878 when. with 100 people. that adventurer attempted to colonize North America. The following year Sir Francis Drake ex- plored the Pacific in the Golden Hind, and touched the shores of California and Oregon. For six weeks they were ashore on Drakes bay, and Francis Fletcher, chaplain of the expedition, held com munion services there. In 1883 the church touched the east shores of America again when Sir Humphrey Gilbert made his in- effectual attempt at colonization, and again in 1887 when the ill-fated colony on Roanoke island was founded and little Virginia Dare, granddaughter of Cover nor White was/ baptized. An Indian, Mateo, the first of his people to receive baptism in this church. came also under the ministrations of this same chaplaln, though the chaplain's name has not been preserved
