AU AnSiuered
And none of these letters went un-
answered; an unanswered letter did
not appear in Colonel Roosevelt's
scheme Of efficiency. On the fifth
day of February, 1918, he was i'll
and suffering intensely. He lay on
(: couch while I opened his mail, and
read it, until, noticing that his eyes
were closed, l suggested to him that
the mail might wait until tomorrow,
when he would probably feel better
He opened his eyes and turned sud-
denly toward me and said: "Miss
Stricken, when I was President l in
stituted rule to clear my desk each
day Of the days work, and I shall
stick to it"-which, incidentally,
was the nearest approach to a re-
buke that I ever received from him.
III as he was, he went through his
mail, until his strength finally failed.
In less than forty-eight hours he
was at the point Of death. While
he was still in very weakened con-
dtion-whie both Of his ears were
plugged with cotton SO that he could
not hear-he actually dictated piece
meal his keynote speech, which was
delivered in Maine, March 20, 1918.
During his last period in the hos
pital he worked necessarily. He
never seemed really i'll during that
stay and jokingly remarked that his
stay in the hospital was giving him
an opportunity TO do all the things
he had been gathering in the back
of his mind for a long time past.
Frequently he would write portions
of his speeches and his editorials in
longhand, and, Of course, all of his
family mail. But when he was in
the hospital, and saw him every
day, instead Of every other day. as
was tho custom. he dictstsd al a

it progressed much faster Since
his death l have been asked many
times if he ever complained of be-
ing sick. / never heard Colonel
Roosevelt complain; it was impos-
sible to associate sickness, or even
fatigue, with that man of energy

he did faint at my side from hem

in two or three minutes Colonel
Roosevelt was revived; when the

Roosevelt, at the time their son wa.

They were heartbroken, but how

parently, at some time, in his wide
field of reading, Colonel Roosevelt
had read this utterance, and had
tucked it away in its appropriate
pigeonhole of his mind, to be
drawn out when occasion should
arise. He read books a page at a
glance, and absorbed their contents.

after his return from long speak

else in the huge travelling case but
books, and / learned that as many

reading was Of wide variety. | have
heard him say on many occasions
that he much preferred to read a
play or opera than to attend the
performance. At one time, while
he was President, an official from
Australia called at the White House
and presented to him long article

wished the President to discuss at
length with him. Taking this screed

that the secret sessions of the House
Of Bishops were a contradiction of
the Church's claim to democracy.
At the last general convention this
matter was raised and the open
meeting plan failed by few votes.
Finally, there is the large ques-
ton Of reorganizing the general &C.
Invites of the Church under a sim
gle board. This would consolidate
the Missions Board, the General
Board for Religious Education, the
Commission on Social Service and
other bodies of like nature.
From, Everywhere
The convention will bring to De-
troit Representatives Of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church from all over
the world. The activities of the Prot
estant Episcopal communion extend
to the furthest reaches of the globe,
and men are already in this country,
or on their way, to tell Of their work.
Every bishop Of the Church, un-
less detained by illness. is expected
to be present.

of Bishops will be the venerable the
Right Rev. Daniel Sylvester futile.

He is the last bishop to hold that Of
fee by seniority, for the convention
already has determined that the Of
flee shall be electoral upon the death
of Bishop futile. There is a report
that, on account of his infirmities, he
will ask to be retired as presiding
bishop and thus make possible the
election by this convention Of the
man that is to direct the activities
of the whole Church.
The prelininaries of the General
Convention have been held already.
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew, the
largest layman's organization Of the
Church, has been holding sessions for
several days. BY Tuesday all their
sessions will have been brought to
an end, even the committee meetings,
and the way will be cleared for the
general legislative body Of the
Church.
The convention proper will meet
in two houses, one composed entirely
of bishops. In this house the dioc-
esan and missionary bishops will
have vote, but the suffragans will
have only seat. The other house is
known as the House Of Deputies and
is composed of lay and clerical dele
gates elected by the dioceses.
The sessions of the House of Dep
uties will be open to the public.
In addition to these two houses
there will be meetings Of the various
boards and committees of the Episco-
pal Church. Five gatherings will be
held in as many different places,
some of them at the same time.
The House of Bishops will meet
in St. PauPs Cathedral House. This
building is equipped with committee

General Convention at
Detroit, Beginning
Tuesday

will be discussed. Bishop Brent will
preside, and the speakers will be
General Pershing, Admiral Sims,
the Rev. Orval A. Petty, who was
senior chaplain of the base hospital
at Bordeaux, and, if the authorities
of his own church will permit,
Father Francis Duffy, of the famous
69th New York.
On the first Sunday evening fol-
lowing the opening of the conven-
ton the nationwide campaign of
the Church will be given the oppor-
tunity usually accorded to the mis-
sionary endeavors of the Church
A clear statement of the purposes
Of the nationwide campaign will
be given at this meeting and an eff
fort will be made to rouse the whole
Church to what has been called its
most farreaching activity.
On Sunday, October IL, St..
Paul's Cathedral, Detroit, will be
consecrated. The occasion will be
marked by one of the most impos-
ing-if not the most imposing
service ever held under the aus
pieces Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in America. For elaborate
ceremonial nothing will compare
with it, outside, perhaps, the coro-
nation of king.
The special preacher on that oc-
casion will be the Right Rev. Ethel
bert Talbot, Bishop of Bethlehem,
Penn, who was immortalized in
Owen Wister's "The Virginian."
Bishop Talbot will preside at a
great meeting on "The Coordination
Of the Religious Forces Of the
United States" and Bishop Ander-
son and the Rev. DR.. William T.
Manning, of Trinity Parish, New
York, will speak.
In addition to General Pershing
and Admiral Sims, many nationally
known men will address the open
gatherings Of the convention.
Perhaps the greatest interest will
centre in the monday forums, which
will bring expressions from some of
the radical leaders in the church
The Rev. John Howard Melish, who
throughout the trial Of DR.. Alger

The Rev. Bernard Iddings Bell
the new president Of St. Stephen
College, Annandale, N. Y, will be
heard. Mr.. Bell was a naval chap
lain during the war and he insists
that the greatest problem of the
Church is to reach the men that did
not have battle experience and were
not even in the military service. A
recent article from his pen in "The
Atlantic" has created a profound
impression in the Church. He is ex.

OUR GRENADA COUNTY EDITION..

We are pleased to present this, our Grenada County Ed
ton of The Sentinel, to our readers and we hope that the
community as a whole may realize some real, personal benefit
from the issue. In some respects, it is a vertable picture gal
lery, but these pictures help wonderfully to give the outsider a
correct impression of what we are, what we have and of our
aims and aspirations.
We have had a serious handicap this week in not having
power to run our plant in the day time. We are dependent up
on the city for current and the city has run so short on coal
that it has been unable to furnish current for motors except
late in the afternoon and at night.
The Edition is the largest paper ever issued in Grenada
We are grateful for the cooperation of our friends and the bust
ness interests Of the town generally. We invite a close inspec-
ton of the paper. Considering the very brief time in which we
have had to get up this issue we fatter ourselves that we have
pretty well covered the ground.

+ We are not disposed to find fault with our city authorities
or the power plant management, but it does appear that those
charged with the duty of buying coal for the power plant have
been asleep on the job. With all the preachments, and with
all the urging about the necessity Of buying coal now since
early last Spring, our power plant finds itself without coal at
the very first juncture of the coal strike. There are quite a
number of enterprises of the town that went to the expense OF
installing motors and entered into a contract with the city for
electric current and naturally a situation like this is not only
inconvenient to them but is costly in a business way.
