more serious game than II Is now, oc-
cupylng much the same position in the

Bishop Wilmer, then n 'parson' not
well known, determined TO break UP
this practice. He himself had been an
expert marble player in his boyhood.
Accordingly one Saturday he camo
across Il number OF the young men en-
gagged In game. The good bishop
asked several questions and finally
challenged the lot to play him for

young minister won steadily, and soon
they had to go to the stores to replen-

he remarked as he walked away, Now,

ELIJAH AND THE RAVENS.
A Story Which Did Not Fit This Par

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, swarthy, black
eyed and black haired he was Il strik
Ing parsonage. He was not only a
great pulpit orator, but considered the
best reader In the New York episco
pacy. His rather luxurious family de
tered him from accepting a bishoprlc,
which would have otherwise been
rendered. One day a delegation from n
Buffalo church waited upon him and
invited him to accept Il pastorate In
that city.
"Well. gentlemen. other things being
satisfactory, the question of accept
ance narrows down to business mat.

do you Offer"
'Dr. Hawkes." said the spokesman,

we have decided to offer you $500"

"No, SIR"
Il get $4,000 and this parsonage,
and, as l have an expensive family, l
do not see my way clear to accept your

The spokesman looked rather sheep
ish, but made another essay.
"lf 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"

clergyman quizzlcally, Il have made

One Of the Many Tragedies Enacted In

eaten was the almost invariable fate
OF sailors who CHANGED to be so unfor-
tunate as to be cast away ON any Of
the outlying little visited islands.
Perhaps the most awful tragedy of
the kind on record was that which
happened In connection with the loss
OF the st. Paul, Captain Pennard, while
on voyage from Hongkong to Sgd
ney. This fine steamship carried, be-
sides full crew. 1927 passengers, most
ly emigrants.
On Sept. 80. 1858, she was wrecked
on the island of Rossel, but all got
safely on shore. A little later the cap
tain and eight OF the crew left the
island In search Of assistance and were
picked up by the Prince OF Den.
