Church Uses Gas, Not
Candles. VeStrymen
Inform This Rector
Call to High Church" Divine
Withdrawn When Minister
Asks About Altar Lights.

RICHMOND. VA. Feb. 24.-It de-
Velops that the inquiries of DR. James
"lnslow Clarke, Of Utica, \. Y. as to
the number of candles which Ascension
Episcopal church, Highland Park. this
city, was accustomed to utilize at serv-
Ices resulted in the recall of an invi-
tation which he received last month to
become rector Of this church.
Soon after the call was extended, DR..
Clarke came to Richmond to look over
the field, and it is said that when he
made inquiry regarding the candles,
some Of the vestrymen, being very low
church and not comprehending the full
meaning Of the question, replied that
gas, and not candles, was used for
lighting purposes. When It became
clear what the clergyman really meant,
1t is said that the situation assumed
such shape that the call was with
drawn, with the consent of the North
ern clergyman.
Recently the church extended a call
to DR.. William e. Evans, who resigned
the rectorship Of the Church of the Ad-
vent Birmingham, Ala, several months
ago, because of failing health. and is
now at his country home near Rich
mond. DR.. Evans still has the matter
under Amusement, though it is believed
he Will finally conclude to accept.
