Elijah and the Ravens.

North Carolina probably never pro,
duced an ADLER preacher than DR.
Francis L. Hawkes., who once was
pastor Of Grace Episcopal church
New York. Short, thick set, swar.
thy, black eyed and black haired, he
was a striking parsonage. He was
not only a great pulpit orator, but
considered the best reader in the
New York episcopacy. His rather
luxurious family deferred him from
accepting a bishopric, which would
have otherwise been tandered. One
day a delegation from Buffalo
church waited upon him and invited
him to accept pastorate in that
city.
"Well, gentlemen, other things be-
ing satisfactory, the question Of ac-
ceptance narrows down to business
NATTER" said DR.. Hawkes.. "What
salary do you offer?''
"Dr. Hawkes." said the spokes-
man, eve recognize that you have a
high reputation and are willing to be
liberal. Our recent pastor received
$4,000, but on account Of your
standing we have decided to offer
you $780,"
"My good man, cried the doc
tor, edo you know what salary I
am receiving here?'
''No, sir"
81 get $4,000 and this parson-
age, and, as I have an expensive fam
lily, I do not see my way clear to ac-
cept your Offer"
The spokesman looked rather
sheepish but made another essay.
"If we had known that, sir, we
would undoubtedly have looked else
where. but you should remember that
the work Of the Lord must be done,
and, as for providing for your family,
you know the story of Elijah and the
ravens.''
"Now, my friends,' responded
the clergyman quizzically. II have
made the Bible my study ever since
I was twenty-eight. I have read it
through carefully and prayerfully
over 100 times. I remember the raw
en- incident perfectly, but nowhere
can I find any reference to the
Lord 5 providing for young Hawkes.. .

AN OLD TIME BREAKFAST.
What One Visitor Was Treated to al
Washinetons Home.

What One Visitor Was Treated to al
Washinston's Home.
The diary of Manasse Cutler, the
founder OF Ohio and the author of the
ordinance Of 1881, gives an account Of
visit he made to Mount Vernon
two years after General Washington's
death We say General Washing
ton, for that was what Mrs Washing
ton was pleased to call him-a copy for
all those good women whose husbands
have won them honor on the field OF
war.
Mr. Cutler says it was the desire of
their party to arrive at Mount Vernon
in time for breakfast q O'clock with
Mrs. Washington, but the bad roads
and worse horses detained them, so
they did not reach there until about
10, which Mrs. Washington regretted,
but she said, breakfast would be
ready in a few minutes" The diary
goes on to say:
'In short time she arose and desired
us to walk into another room, where
table was elegantly spread with ham,
cold corned beef, cold fowl red her
ring and cold mutton, the dishes orna-
mented with sprigs of parsley and
other vegetables from the garden. At
the head OF the table was the tea and
coffee equipage. where she seated her
self and sent the tea and coffee to the
company"
The point of interest is that break
fast menu-fve kinds Of meat decked
with sprigs Of parsley and accompa-
MED with divers vegetables Isn't
there an appetizing array and doesn't
the heart long for just such scene?
OF course the mere feeders, the fell
lows that banker for hot things, may
not think 50, but the very mention Of
cold ham, cold chicken, cold mutton
and cold corned beef all In the same
breath is an appeal to conscientious
appetite that is unresisting. And that
was a breakfast of the long ago.
Most generous providers these well

good everything must have tasted!
