REV. PERCIVAL
H. WHALEY, D. D.
BY Very Rev. Charles Emil
Clark, D. D., Dean

Word has just come to me of the
death of an old college friend, the
Rev. Percival H. Whaley. He is not
known to many members of the con-
gregation, probably to no one in Ken
lucky except, perhaps to some of the
clergy. But 1 loved him so truly and
held him in such high esteem and
affection, it may be permitted me to
pay an all too inadequate tribute to
his worth, and to give public ex-
preston in Cathedral Notes, the
only avenue open to me, of my APP
probation of his character, and of
our long friendship. We were class
mates at Trinity College and at the
Berkeley Divinity School. For six
years we sat side by side at every
recitation, and at Berkeley we studied
together every night. Since ordina-
ton our friendship has never grown
dim, and it was always one of the
anticipated joys of the General Con-
vention that we could once more be
together. Percy Whaley combined in
an unusual degree the elements of
strength and courage with gentle
ness. He had a great loving heart
which embraced all sorts and condi-
tions of men. He was absolutely
loyal in his friendships, and was not
in the least moved by the fact that
those whom he honored with his con-
fidence were not always popular. AS
student and scholar he grew in
breadth and wisdom with the pass
ing Of years He perfected himself
in the classics, and was probably one
of the best Latin scholars in the
South. For many years he was the
head of the Board of Education in
the State of Florida, and represented
that Diocese in the General Conveu-
ton until his removal from the state
a few years ago. For eighteen years
he was rector of Christ Church, PEN
sacola, Florida, and I am sure that
any of our people who visited that
beautiful city will remember his
genial personality and will bear wit
ness to the warm place he held in the
hearts of the people. He believed in
the essential goodness of every one,
and could see in the most hopeless
case some good to be cherished and
made to bear fruit. He had won

enjoy those good thingsl
The gulf having received added
roughness, made it absolutely necess-
sary to return, which was done by
the guide taking the wheel and steer
ing towards the lighthouse which
could occasionally be glimpsed as we
rode the crest of a wave.
Entering the bay, we gradually as
suned our normal positions. The in
valids began to enquire concerning
the whereabouts of the lunch pack

derful faith in man and in the power
of Gods grace to redeem all men.
1t was for this, doubtless that he was
looked upon as the friend of all the
people. During his ministry in PEN
sacola he passed through many pc
RODS of trial by fire, by flood and
epidemics of fever. And his devotion
brought to him the heartfelt graft
tude of its citizens. Some years ago
he received the well-deserved degree
of Doctor of Divinity from the Uni
versity of the South at Sewanee. DIR.
Whaley died at Rochester, Mimi,
after an operation at the hospital of
the Mayo Brothers. The Pensacola
Journal gives a column of its edi-
torial page in beautiful tribute to
his work and his life.
There were three men with me at
college whom | have always continued
to look upon as my best friends,
Harry Whitney of Shattuck School,
Faribault, Mimi, Joseph Burlington
now one of the Justices of the Dis
trict Court of the United States and
Percy Whaley. The death of the
latter fills me with sadness in one
sense. And yet for him I know it is
only Joy unspeakable for now he has
seen the King in His beauty and will
grow more and more in His likeness
This it is which will comfort his wife
and children in their time of trial
Our sympathy and our prayers go out
to them

A Hurricane Signal.
On arriving at Fort Barrancas the
boat was dashed to the pier, and the
crew in alb ody left to secure a proper
guide to the banks. was requested
to make myself comfortable during
their absence. After remaining ashore
about thirty minutes, they returned
with the guide, and I discovered by
their animated conversation that
something serious had happened.
Notwithstanding my deafness, /
heard enough to know that further
progress depended upon me. I was
informed that a hurricane signal had
been displayed and that vessels of
every craft had been warned to re-
main at their moorings.
What say you, Professor, it is
going to be very rough, can you
stand it,"
/ replied, GO ahead, I am sport "
Upon this decision the launch head
ed for the gulf. We soon found that
there was cause for anxiety. The
surf was boisterous, and as each wave
struck the oblique shore of Santa
Rosa island, it appeared as a race
horse rushing madly for the goal.
Again I was approached. "How
about it, now? Do you think you
can stand it,"
sI am a sport" / replied, and /
secretly discovered that different
response would have been acceptable
by some of the crew.

legitimate subject for guying, was
still the object, of anxiety and affec-
tionate solicitude.

"Don't mention it, said DIR. Coker,
the dentist, 81 have been calculating
for fee if we are fortunate enough
to get back"
During this colloquy the launch was
performing stunts, that would have
elected the envy of a bucking bron-
cho. At one time it seemed that the
vessel was trying to assume a per-
pendicular position. Then it appeared
as submarine about to explore the
depths of the gulf. At one moment

mountainous wave, and the next al
most swallowed in its trough.
The guide announced that we were
on the snapper banks and all hands

change had come over the coun-
tenances of the amateur fishermen,
instead of obeying the order with
alacrity, each began to bait his hook
ina perfunctory manner, and resem-
bled crew of professional fisher
men paid by the day.
Huge drops of perspiration began
to collect on the face of Diamond, as
he remarked, II am feeling somewhat
curious"
"See," said Bowman, Homer is
getting white behind his ears"

nacular of the fishermen.
Beginning Of the End.

abandoned his fish to be looked after
by one of his companions while he
made bee line for the cabin.

he poured out his ibation to Father
Neptune, the others looked on sym
pathetically, knowing it to be his turr
next. Occasional inquiry was made

fessor. His reply was invariably the
same-'4 am a sport" Finally, every
one was overcome, and lay prostrat,
