King George, the Atlantis, the Greek

loss Of the much beloved and respect

has been head of Hellenes.
Hope in Crown Prince.
At the same time there was rejoic-

into such competent hands as those
of Crown Prince Constantine, who for
months past has been receiving many
tributes from Greeks in America Only
last Sunday there was a celebration
here by the Greeks in which a hand

pared list of appointments, from
which there was no appeal. without
consulting the wishes of either the
pastor or the congregation, served its
purpose of enforcing churchly dis
cipline, but it sometimes resulted un-
pleasantly for both the preachers and
their flocks. 1t laid both sides open
to the temptation of endeavoring to
pull wires and bring influences to
bear in the effort to obtain either
flourishing charge on the one hand,
or a popular pastor on the other In
stances where church memberships
were disappointed or where ministers
found their surroundings uncongenidl
and not of the sort To bring out the
best that was in them We're not un-
common. OF course. theoretically. all
should have been harmony and
smoothness considering the proper
aims of the relationship of pastor and
people. but neither the occupants of
the pews nor of the pulpits are any
thing more than human. and such con-
ditiOns were bound to arise.
Under the new idea, each minister
had ample notice of the decision of the
son to advance against it, he had only

further showed his sound common
sense He believes in facing facts as
he made clear when he said Hun
dreds of men slip into the big confer
ences who never should have been adj
mitted, just because of earelessness on
the part of those who should investi-
gate them. He wanted to look them
in the eyes before the whole confer
ence. to note their department, to APP
praise their appearance and to size
them up as men, not only as theolog-
ians.
In establishing these two reforms,
the bishop has not departed one whit
from the essential spirit of Methodism.
He has simply broadened its vision
and added to its strength. Inciden-
tally, he has added considerabl to his
reputation among those of his clerical
brethren who have been dissatisfied
for years with the old procedure.

as marking period of departure from
time-honored customs, says the Phiia-

presiding officer, was responsive Iot
the inauguration of two reforms which,
if they had been suggested a genera

received with amaZement, and, being
so unusual and unheard of would nave
been regarded with suspicion First
he plainly announced that he would
abandon the policy of making mNs-

were read and would consult with
each minister before making his de-

examining them on their qualifications,
instead of subjecting them to the usual

When Betty chose her Easter hat
She thought ii was a dream,
But when she tried il on at home
Her sister gave "a scream.
Its simply awful, child = She walled,
With anguish in her voice.
But Betty could not be induced
Te sacrifice her choice.
Her mother says shes seldom seen
A less becoming hat
Her father asked: What did it cost
To get thing like that?"
Her brother says it is Il fright.
And chortles in his glee.

VIII and Charlie Boucher of Five
Islands, says the Bath Times, had a
rather a narrow escape, Tuesday after
noon, in crossing the river on their
way from Boothbay Harbor where
they had been to sell their fish. When
about half way across near the long
ledge they shipped about two barrels
of water which stopped their engine,
and they begun drifting toward the
ledge, and had it not been for the sail
which they quickly set they would
have been dashed on the rocks by the
heavy seas which were breaking, but
they just cleared them and that was
all and got into Lees Cove" at Mac
Mahan Island, where they bailed the
water out and got the engine in work
ing order again and proceeded to Five
Islands The river did not appear to
be so rough when they first come by
Dog Fish Head, but after getting part
way across it grew worse and they
could not turn back. The Sheepscot is
bad one to cross in a heavy south
