THE TALK OF THE DAY.

The dexterity with which dispatchers
and towermen Jungle trains in a great
terminal Is marvel OF modern life
which. on account OF its very magni-
tude goes unnoticed. While the night
Is crush and scramble I'm the subway,
where trains run on one minute sched-
ule, has FOR years furnished material
for kickers and humorists. few persons
realize that the maze OF great expresses
and locals run In and out OF the Grand
Central during rush hours under shorter
headway than the surface cars on Broad
way. The number Of people who arrive
and leave the terminal daily is now
about $1,000, or nearly 100000 every
eight days. Yet there is little or no
confusion.

the word present" IL meant TO distin-
guish the existing Church from former

been more than one Church OF England,

Saint Augustine and his forty monks
went TO Kent In 500 they found the Church
