THE GREAT LAKES
Has a Parish That is 1900
Miles Long.

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. ia parish
1,S00 miles in length and 800 miles in
width is in charge of Rev. w H. Law
known from Buffalo to Duluth as the
sky pilot of the Great Lakes.
The membership of the parish runs
into the thousands, and the great ma
jority of parishioners never worship
twice in the same locality, for services
are held mostly in the moving ships
Some are held in lonely lighthouses
far from other human habitation.
No wedding has ever taken place in
this parish, no christening of a baby,
no services for the burial of the dead.
This sky pilot seeks his parishioners
in small gasoline boat % feet in
length. Besides carrying the message
of the Gospel to these men, he takes to
them books, magazines, papers and
news of the outside world His visits
are loked forward to by the lighthouse
keepers and the lightship crews, for
his territory is so large that he is UNI
able to visit them more than once
during the season. He maintains a
small circulating library of not more
than 20 books. He also carries with
him photograph, with records of the
most popular hymns.
Some of the lighthouses visited are
far from the mainland, and the trips to
them are hazardous. Standard Rock
light, for instance, is nearly so miles
out from Marquette, ON Lake Superior
1t is erected in a small but dangerous
reef, which resembles a whales back
The light is 105 feet in height and
rests on a crib work, which is en-
circled by railway, and for weeks at
time the weather is so bad that it is
dangerous for the keepers to venture
out of doors. Between the light and
Keweenaw Point there is depth of L.
008 feet of water.
On his travels the sky pilot visits
300 lighthouses, 10 lightships and 90
life-saving stations Mr.. Law does not
outwardly resemble minister of the
Gospel. He is big and healthy and has
a rolling gait like a sailor. He breaches
simply to the sailors, with whom he is
very popular.
