1.-THE SEAL OF SILENCE"

(Author's Note-The accompanying
fragment was recently dug up in the
ruins of an old monastery in Southern
California. 1t was originally written
in Spanish, and from it's condition and
the facts it describes, it is, in all prob
ability, more than one hundred years
old. The yellowed pages tell their own
story.)
The great Californian desert! How
beautiful it looked that afternoon as
| stood beside the towering gray walls
of the monastery of San Pedro and
gazed silently out before me. "The
Valley of DEATH" The Valley of
the LOST" These picturesque names
given to the surrounding country by
the strange Englishmen and Yankees
who come across the great mountains
in search of u yellow mama never
dawned on me in their full significance
until now. To them this vast ex-
panse of sand with it's thousand little
oases-each of which l knew-was
merely an obstacle in their quest, but
to me it was Gods country. 1t was
my country, it was Spain, my birth
land moved across the sea.
Suddenly I recollected myself. The
sun was already high in the heavens
and | had not finished my mathis.
Somehow could not concentrate. My
eyes kept moving off towards the place
where knew Antoine's house lay. An
| tOine-the kindest brother q man over
knew. | was thinking of that moment,
now only two days past, when I had
held his ffrst-born in my arms and
given him my own name in baptism.
With a sigh of happiness I drew my
! brown cassock tighter about me and

to Miss Evie Carew, a beautiful young
chorus girl, who has been playing at a
London theater.
The Hon. Rowland Winn is lieuten-
ant in the Coldstream Guards and has
been wounded insthe war. He is TWEEN
ty-two years of age. The bride is
twenty-three.
Neither had any friends present at the
marriage ceremony, which was per-
formed by the Rev. 6. S. Clarke. Junior
curate of ST. Savior'S Church, and the
only witnesses were the verger and
the vestry clerk.
Originally it had been arranged that
the ceremony should be performed by
the vicar. but the latter. after waiting
at the church for the bridal couple for
about twenty-five minutes. assumed
that the marriage was not likely to
take place that day.
The bridegroom. who had to come up
TO London from Windsor. was a little
late. Then he and his bride awaited
the arrival of Capt. g. Wentworth of
the Royal Flying Corps Lieut.. Winn's
best man.
Capt Wentworth was to have flown
to London from one of the military fly
ing centers in the country, but was
unexpectedly detained there at the last
minute and so could not reach London
in time for the ceremony 4
Finally, when the bride and BRIDE
groom, both smiling and happy. arrived
at the church, the vicar had departed.
Then followed a hurried search by the
vestry clerk in the bridegroom's auto
mobile for some one to marry the wait
ing couple. Fortunately. the Rev. G. S.
Clarke was quickly found and so he
performed the ceremony.

Referring to the modernization of fa- vorite religious hymns, the Boston Transcript says: "Let the religious ar chitecture, art and poetry of the past stand. If the advanced thinkers have anything to express in poetry except negation let them find their own me- dium." To this sentiment there will arise a loud chorus of amens. How ever, not all movements to remodel sacred music originate with those who wish to modify doctrine expressed ill old forms. Music has changed, and church musicians, being, as a rule. trained in secular music, are not at home in reactionary styles of expres- sion. Both schools of music have strong claims, and perhaps the attempt to merge them must generally result in the sacrifice of ,the soul of the hymn.
