MYSTERIOUS GIFT OF
S4C0 TO BANGOR CHURCH

Bangor. Ne, Aug. 1e.-The gift of $500
to be used for the benefit Of St. Johns
Episcopal church and the mysterious
manner in which it was made has arous-
ed no end of curiosity among the mem
hers of the parish, who are at a loss to
know who has made the donation.
Tuesday morning George F. Bryant.
senior warden Of St. Johns. had an en-
velope placed in his hand while in a
Bangor book store by woman whom he
is positive he has never seen before, with
the request that he refrain from opening
open it he found that there were seven
crisp $50 bank notes and five $40 notes,
s4N0 in all, and brief note which read:
Will you please use this money for St
Johns Episcopal church in some way
that you think best?
From A tHIEND."
The letter was written on rather a poor
quality Of paper and the writing was in
pencil, correctly spelled but with little
regard to capitalization. the signature
being signed with a small #" The en-
velope was addressed to Mr.. Bryant.
The woman who handed the note to
Mr.. Bryant was well dressed. and past
middle age. She said that she was act
ing for friend when she requested that
Mr.. Bryant wait until she had left before
opening the envelope.
The gift is most acceptable and well
come one to the church. which, because
of tho locL of s,,ficienf funds hoe haap

so that services up to the present time
have been held in the basement chapel.
