the Rev. Norman Mcleod of Ontario-not
the Edinburgh Norman McLeod-and Ave
other clergymen started out, Mr.. Mcleod
being in the lead and on horseback.
Three Bedouin bandits stopped him. He
handed them several buttons he had taken
up In his last collection and then advised
them to wait for the five others. all Ameri
can pastors with millionaires in their oon-
gregations. The bandits waited gleefully,
while Mr.. Mcleod surreptitiously began
unlimbering his artillery.
The first OF the five to reach the bandits,
according to Mr.. Mcleod, was the Rev.
Mr.. Duke. He was asked to put some
thing in the bandit plate. and said that he
would rather read chapter, or II that was
too tedious a verse or 30 from st. Paul.
He began to read with solemnity and the
robbers put their guns back on their ba cks.
Mr.. Mcleod had his big revolver headed
toward the robbers by this time.
They fed. Mr.. Duke says, because Of the
power Of Scripture. Mr.-MoLeod says MIR.
