in one of the pews in the little
church. Thereafter he was a regu-

In 1909, after twenty years in the
West, DR.. Murphy came to Wash
ington TO become assistant rector
at Epiphany Church. He took
charge of St. Michael and All Angels

OF the years spent in the West Dr.
Murphy has many pleasant and
humorous memories. He tells the
