were posted, until after the midnight
hour.
Many explanations were heard as
the various news items were posted
but the greatest interest was shown
when the bulletin announcing that
President Huerta had refused to ac.
cept President Wilson's demand TO sa-
Lutte the flag. Many became jubiIant
over the thought of war while there
were others who looked at the situa-
ton in n more grave manner. vet
showing that patriotic spirit instilled
in every true born American at the
thought of insult to the flag
Regardless Of the rain that fell al.
most continuously during the earfi
part Of the night the crowds remained
before the bulletins, waiting for more
news.

where that enormous auditorium was
packed to the top-most ceiling. she con-

honor of Dr. McKim's twenty-fifth an.
niversary. -

The Ccrgy. vestry. and Conregation
OF the Church Of the Epiphany
request the pleasure Of your company at
reception
TO be given in honor OF the
Reverend Doctor and Mira McKim,
at the Parish House.
on the evening Of "wednesday. January Z.
at 0 O'Clock.
Two notable achievements distinguish
DR.. McKim's rectorship OF Epiphany
Church. and for the accomplishment of
which he is entitled to great credit: these
amounting to SO. go for the endowment
of the church. and the other is the erec-
ton Of the magnificent parish hall. which
has no equal in the diocese.
DIR. McKim has been wise in creating
this endowment fund. Epiphany has
been for some time past, and will be
still more in the future, a downtown
parish. the frequent characteristic Of
which Is a swarming population of peo-
pie unable to support the church as II
has been supported in earlier days. The

uptown. and the great temptation for a
parish church is to follow its people. A
far more commodable thing is for 1t to
remain where II is and minister to those
who I'LL the places vacated by the we'll
to-do. Epiphany Parish is deserving Of
special honor in this respect. but the
parish that remains under such condi-
tons absolutely needs an endowment IL
its work Is to be maintained at its former
high level Owing TO the wise methods
of DIR. McKim in this matter. this old
parish Is suffering no diminution In the
realm OF its influence or in its activities.
The rector hopes that the round sum Of
800. 900 for the endowment will be reached
very shortly. In this all well-wishers
of the church will share his desire.

secration of the Rev. Frederick B. How
