A Bishops Arducus Life.

Some idea Of the onerous and diff
cult duties of bishop may be gath
cred from the work of Dr. w. c. Gray,
bishop of southern Florida. Nearly
10000 miles of territory go to make
up the diocese. There are few mod
ern facilities of travel and, although
one strenuous bishop made an effort
to get over the whole I'm one year he
failed, in spite of the fact that he only
spent three weeks of the entire year
at his home. Apart from the size of
the diocese, however, the 250,000 in
habitants are composed of Cubans, ne
groes, Swedes, Danes and Germans,
while between 400 and 500 Seminole
Indians still remaining in the swamps
have to be visited. Missions have
been established among them all
red men, black men, brown men and
white men, and the new mission open.
ings are such that the present bishop
is constantly on the go" visiting
them. In fact, he is away from home
nearly all the time.

Cheerful Ignorance,

You'd be surprised" said the wom-
an who is supposed to be wise, how
many people are perfectly ignorant of
the correct way to write acceptances
and regrets when they are asked to
entertainments. 1t would pay some
enterprising woman to go around
writing them for those who don't know
how. You'd be amazed to see the peo-
pie who come to me to ask how it is
done or to get me to write them,
And" she admitted IF the truth must
be told, don't know so awfully much
about It myself"

Rev. Munro is not able to say at
this time whether or not he will
accept the local pastorate. 1t is gen.
orally hoped here that he will. All
who have heard him have been de-
lighted with him and most favorably
impressed. However the members
of the Columbus, Neb., church, one
of the strongest churches in that sec
ton of Nebraska. are making every
effort to induce Rev. Munro to re-
main in Columbus. The large mem
bership of the church. is unanimous
in the desire. Since coming to Grand
Junction Rev. Munro has received
scores of letters from his old parish
oners urging him to remain at Col
umbus. There can be no question as
to the regard in which Rev. Munro
is held by the people whom he has
served as pastor for a number of
years.
Shortly after his return to Col
umbus Rev. Munro will decide as to
whether he will accept the Grand
Junction pastorate.

one of the strongest, most thought

in the church. It's lessons were
grand, its inspirations were divine,
yet it's teachings were simple-migh-
ty and unshakable truths told in an
impressive unaffected manner. The
minister showed how all things ma

pertains to the human life, the hu-
man knowledge, the human earthly
existence, cities and nations rise AMI
fall, mountains crumble, knowledge
passes away, prophescies fail but the
most important, the greatest of all
things, faith, hope and love,-the
immaterial and immortal gifts of
God to the soul and heart. never
fail but abide always. The illustra-

magnificent yet telling and most un-
