one of the most interesting figures in
American church life. Here is a good
story OF the bishop. One day, as he
was waiting for a train at small
country station, he was approached by
q rustic passenger who had been scan
ming his features curiously for while.
Excuse me, sir" said the stranger,
but your face somehow seems familiar
to me. Haven't seen your portrait III

The bishop smiled benignly. and re-
piled that 1t was not unlikely.

"and would you mind telling me what

To a young lady who, apropos the
question of Sabbath observance, asked
II she might battle In the Atlantic on
