made II his home ever since Here he
founded the Society of the Atonement
One lay brother has come to share his
cave, and a chapel and convent with a
number OF sisters have been added
to the community. The sisters prepare
food and clothing, and the society sub
sists on the fruits of its own labor and
upon aims. IL cannot receive money,
Father Paul travels frequently, and
in a way rather starting TO twentieth
century Americans. II no tickets have
been sent by friends, he sits in the
railroad station waiting until someone,
acquaintance or stranger. furnishes the
ticket-mOney no never accepts. II
help is not forthcoming he goes home
or walks to the next station. His en-
tire baggage is tooth brush, the one
thing hosts and hostesses do not fur
nish. II the host is not thoughtful
enough to supply sleeping garments, his
habit must do, for It is his custom TO
take courtesies offered but not to make
requests. Also the hostess will soon
learn to fill his plato bountifully the
first time, for a second helping is
against his rule.
Escorting Father Paul through a
most OF his entertainers. He wears a
full skirted, coarse, brown habit, with
the knotted girdle of Saint Francis,
brown cape. thick shoes, and a close
fitting black skull cap over a pecu-
liarly round head. Small boys some
times comment on this attire.
Aside from these peculiarities, Fr.
Paul is not difficult to entertain. He
Z n L.
vide a cave, ne eats ordinary food,
and converses much as other people
unless the subject turns TO the super
natural, for he has seen visions and
dreamed dreams
The Father held peculiar theological
views. He desired corporate re-u union
Of the Anglican and Roman Catholic
churches by this plan. The Anglican
Church was TO acknowledge the Papal
supremacy and infaliibility. The
Roman Catholic Church was to ack-
nowledge the validity of Anglican
orders and to permit all services to be
In English. Naturally with such uni
que views, he found it hard to obtain
a diocesan for the community. Lewis T.
Watson, as he was then known, was
never a priest in Delaware. but he was
accepted by Bishop Coleman whose own
'g eat heart desired church unity. though
not according to +. Paul's scheme.
The Society Of the Atonement have
published their views for several years
In a magazine called THE Lamp"
which is to be continued under Roman
Catholic supervision. Beyond a brief
announcement OF the society's recep-
tion, the November magazine
does not differ in any way from pre-
vious issues, and 1t does not seem likely
that the Roman Catholic authorities
will find 1t necessary to change its pol
Icy IN the future.
Some question has been raised as to
what will become Of the property occupied
I'm Graymoor, n. Y, by the Society of the
Atonement. Bishop ISinsman said this
morning; Il know nothing more about
the matter than what have read in the
church and other papers. 1 understand
that It was the intention of the people
who gave the property that It should be-
long TO the Bishop Of Delaware, but moth
ing has been done about it."
