ExTERIoR Of SING SING
and INTERIOR SHOWING CELLS

you can see 1t from tho river,
" or you can see it from the
road; either way 1t looks very
much the same. If you
brought to look at it an Eski-
mo from the northern seas or a ma
tive of the Tonga Isles and asked him
what he thought it was he would
say:
"A prison!"
Every stone in the long, low. dark
building spells prison. Every mar
row slit of window, every grill OF
Iron bars, every foot of thick wall.
every CLINT of a sentry's gun-they all
spell prison.
Sing Sing is its name, and when 1t
passes and is succeeded by new
prison the new ones name will be
Sing Sing, too. So long as New York
endures and men are wicked. there
will be. somewhere. a Sing Sing.

Yet, to the city of New York,
which has most to do with it. Sing

principal and his victim. Its laby-
rinths serve as place for the Grim

pursuit and, usually. the capture. It's
lawyers make the pleas, for and

p,,t
when the sentence Is death, the city
turns to the old gray dungeon in
Westchester county and says: Take
him. he Is yours-to kill"
And SO the last the man sees OF
the city is at the moment when he
steps from the carriage to take the
train. His lawyers have told him
they will appeal his case. He knows
that he will not die the next day, nor
the next week, nor the next month.
He still has money and the lawyers
are sanguine. Surely they will win
for him.
On the train he sits. with his law
yer, in the smoking car. and the two
guards sit behind them, very placid
and pleasant, but with very serious
revolvers in their pockets.
They get out at Ossining station.
1t used to be Sing Sing station, but
the people ofsthe village got it chang
ed because they did not like to say
when visiting in other towns, that
they came from Sing Sing. People
laughed, and Ossining is a serious
town.
At the Ossining station. whenever
a train arrives. there is always a
line of old-fashioned, two-seated car
riages. The town is a hilly one, and

Brooks No Delay.
Then he sees the cold gray palace
of atonement that squats square and
fiat, its western edge touching the
Hudson river. A door is open and
the carriage stops in front Of 1t. The
prisoner goes in.
Sing Sing begins to grind Its ma
chinery.

applied it to her eyes. At the same

They might make photographic mess Of the simplest one syllable word, but the tiniest tot from the British isles went to the head of tho class on chilblains every time. Ono w1ntry month in those same islands told mo why. It Is the word they saw oftenest. In drug stores, in clothing stores, in shops of all kinds cures and preventives of chilblains are uni.

vestIy tonight at the rectory at $50
p. nj.
There will be an important meeting
of the officers and teachers of the Sun
day School at the old church on Sat
urday at 1880 p. m. All are urgently
asked to be present.
The rector assisted the Bishop in the
funeral service at the home and went
with the body of the late Gilbert Louis
Dupre to Opelousas, La, last Monday
night, returning Tuesday evening. He
leaves a young wife and a little daugh-
ter besides his parents and sisters Our
sympathy goes out to them in this their
hour OF sorrow. May God grant unto
him rest and peace.
The attendance upon the services and
Sunday School were very much better
than of late and as next Sunday sees
a return to the regular hours Of service,
i. &, Holy Communion, 1880 a. NJ:
Sunday School, $3.50 a. m; Morning
Prayer or Holy Communion and ser
mon, i1:00 a. M; and Evening Prayer
and sermon, 1880 p. m, it is hoped that
at each service there will be an in
creased attendance.
Next Sunday being the first Sunday
in the month, in addition to the early
celebration there will be a second eel
ebration of the Holy Communion at
II ?. m. The class for Confirmation
will assemble at 400 p. m.
The rector visited the missions IN
der his care down the river last Thurs
day and Friday. 1t was very rough
crossing the river in the skiffs, but no
mishap was met with and good con.
gregaiions were had.
Owing TO a delay in receiving the
quarterlieS the visitors of the Home
Department have not as yet been able
to deliver the new books but hope to
do so N the next few days
The rector expects to leave for New
YORK and attendance upon the General
Convention on Sunday night at 500
o'clock. Rev. A. r. Edbrooke will hold
service that evening in his place. Dur
ing his absence the Rev. E. A. Rennie
will be in charge. Anyone needing the
serv ces of the church can make in.
quiry at the rectory and ARRANGEMENTS
will be made for them.
The rector expects to return in time
for the 900 a. m. service on All Saints
day.
1t Is very gratifying to have the at
tendance increase upon the daily SER
vice of prayer and intercession for
the blessing of God upon the delibera-
lions of the General Convention. This
service will be held every day this
week at 900 a. m. and consists of the
Litsny and special prayers and inter-
cessiCns.
