Reformed Episcopal Church


 The first Reformed Episcopal Church was organized in New York in December, 1878, by Bishop George David Cummins, who was born ninety three years ago to-day. Dec. Il, 1922. The irritation between the aLow and High Church parties of the Protestant Episcopal Church. which has lately resulted in much verbal warfare and threats of a division. is but a repetition of the condition existing in 1878 and for many years before. Bishop Cum mins, who had been bishop of Ken lucky, was the leader of the seces- sionists, and. resigning his jurisdi ction called about him a small body of sym pathizers, clerical and lay, and launched the Reformed Episcopal Church. The movement spread to various States and to Canada, and a branch was established in Great Brit ain, which has since merged with the Reformed Church of England The denomination now has about a hun dred ministers and 12.0O0 comm uni cants. While adhering to many of the doctrines of the Church of Eng land, and the Protestant Episcopal PChurch.s the denomination rejects the idea that Christ's ministers are priests in any other sense than as all believ- CTS are; that the church of Christ exists only in one order or, form of polity; that the Lords table is an al- tar on which the body and blood of Christ is offered perpetual1y to the Father, and that spiritual regenera- ton is tnseparably dependent upon baptism.

GEN. .1WINGATE

The man 7,pon whom Great Britain depends to protect Egypt from in vasion and prevent insurrection on the part of the natives is Gen. Sir Francis Reginald Wingate, the Sirdar of the Egyptian army and Governor-Genera1 of Sudan Sir Reginald is 54 years oo1d and has occupied his present post for over Is years, succeeding Lord Kitchener as Sirdar of Egypt when the latter was sent to South Africa during the Boer war During his long service in the ancient land on the Nile General Wingate has gained the con-
 idence of the native population, as a Just and fair man, and he has also aroused in them a wholesome respect for his military prowess- General Wingate ha1 an, able lieutenant in Gen. Sir John Maxwell, who is sta- toned at Cairo as the cEmmander of the forces. That all of the attempts of German agents to provoke rebel lions in Egypt and Sudan have come to nothing is largely due to the pre- cautions by these two men. Sir Reg inaId was born in Glasgow, and his mother was Dublin woman. He was the seventh son in large family, and was educated at Woolwich. entering the army at 1880 as a lieutenant of Royal Artillery. His first servicIe was in India, but in 1888 he joined the Egyptian army, and he has been sta toned in Egypt ever since. He took part in the Nile expedition, the bat tie of Toski the action of Afafit and the recapture of Tokar, the Dongo1a campaign, the battle of Khartouna, the F'ashoda expedition, and many other Northern African exploits In nearly every instance he distinguished himself and was the recipient of medals and honors. not only from the British and Egyptian governments
 but from the Emperor of Austria, who conferred upon him the grand Cross of Francis Joseph in 1906. He is Pasha of Egypt, and prominent as Mason. He is the author of .Adahdism and the Egyptian Sudan" and several other books and articles dealing with Egyptian matters.

MoAKLEY,s BIRTHDAY

This is the fifty-second birthday of John. Francis Moak1ey, for sixteen years the coach of the Cornell track and cross-country teams, and admit tedly one of the greatest athletic coaches the world has ever had. What Courtney has accomplished for the Cornell navy, Moakley has done for the track and cross coountry runners, and the Ithaca institution may we'll be proud of the possession of such ath- Ietic directors. From the time when he took charge of the Cornell runners in 1899 and turned out a champion ship cross-country team, MoakIey's harriers have been the envy and de- spair of all other American colleges. The reason isn't hard to find, for Jack Moai1ley is capable of inspiring and enthusing his men to a point where failure becomes almost impos- sibIe. While coaches of other colleges find it difficult to get men to try for the hill and dale squad, Moakley's job is simply, that of picking the best from a great wealth of raw material offered.

Reedy, the Man Who Holds
 the Mirror Up to Life

William Marion Reedy, the editor of the St. Louis Mirror, was born in the Missouri metropolis 8 years ago today. Although the Mirror was or iginaIly a local publication, of the type known as the society weekly '' Reedy has made it famous through out the English speaking world, and it's local features were long ago Neclipsed by Reedy's satiric, illuminat- ing comments on politics, religion. literature, art and philosophy. Reedy and his Mirror afford but another iI- lustration of the fact that the candle of genius cannot be hidden under the bushel of obscure print. Judge Hali- burton, who has been called the pioneer of the distinctively American hum orists, first published his Samuel Slick stories in little Nova Scotian weekly journal. James M. Bailey made the Danbury News famous, and Robert J. Burdette made the Bur1ing- ton, Ia., Hawkeye known throughout the world David Ross Locke, best known as Petroleum V. Nasby,'' achieved an international reputation for the Findlay, O., Jeffersonian and the Toledo Blade. Edgar w. Howe, of the Atchison Globe, and William Allen White, of the Emporia Gazette, afford more recent illustrations of newspaper editors in small towns who have gained international fame.
 Reedy graduated from St. Louis University, with the degree of Master of Accounts5 in 1880. but figures had but little attraction for him, and he became a newspaper reporter. Ac- cording to the traditions of St. Louis newspaper offices, Reedy was never very strong for the t:leg work which constitutes so large a part of a re- porter's duties, but in his stories he displayed much of that mastery of words which afterward made him fla
 nous. For years he was employed on tHe staffs of various Mound City newspapers. but in 1893 he undertook the editorial management of the Mir TOT, then a struggling society jour nal. Phree years later Reedy bought the publication, and, freed from all restraints and at liberty to formulate his own policies. His vigorous, pie tueresque and original criticism and comments on current literature soon won for him an fnternat1onal follow ing. Politically Reedy became a dis ciple of Henry George, and a staunch and brilliant defender of the single tax
