The prolonged drought in parts of

flying showers that occurred on several
days. Many stations in the districts
manned had rainfall in excess of an

the southern tier of counties. More

SAVED FROM MANIPULATION.

Gaillard Hunt, continuing his comments of the biography in the New York Times Saturday Review, says:
 It was only by the great courage and energy of Wilmer and other uncon- querable spirits that the church was saved from annihilation during the war and when the conflict was over they went courageously to work to gather up the fragments and rehabilitate the shattered institution. At the threshold of the work Winner engaged in contest which showed his spirit and his powers to pecu- liar advantage, and an account of this famous incident may be briefly set down here:
 As long as the Confederacy lasted the Southern Episcopal church had used as part of it's liturgy a prayer for the President of the Confederate States and the civil authorities. in place of the corresponding prayer for the authori- ties of the United States, which had been a part of the service until the time of secession. When the Confed- acy fell, the prayer was, of course, dropped, but as the country was as yet under military government and the devastation of defeat still surrounded and overwhelmed the people, the prayer for the president and civil authorities Of the conquering power was not restored. Gen. George H. Thomas was the military commander of Alabama, and he was a man peculiarly hateful to Winner. Being a Virginian who had fought against Vir- ginia, Wilmer had not hesitated to pro- nounce him a traitor, and he was smart ing under the knowledge that the bishop had done him this cruel injustice MT. Whitaker hints at a personal motive for the action he now took against Winner. On September 20, 1865, he issued General Orders No. 3S,'' requiring the Episcopal churches to use the prayer for the Pres ident of the United States.
