THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
LINcohN's eoQP. . TURNS.

"One day gentleman passing
through the White House Park saw
Mr. Lincoln listeningto a soldier who
was evidently in violent rage" says
Ida Tarbell in an article on Lincoln
True Scout" which appears in the Feb
ruary issue of Boys Life.
''He stopped within hearing distance
and gathered that the man had Just
been discharged from Libby Prison,
and, though he had his hospital GER
tificate, had not been able to get his
pay. He had not the least idea that
he was abusing the president to his
face. When he stopped for breath
the gentleman heard Mr.. Lincoln say:
We'll, now, let me see those papers
of yours. I have been a lawyer my
self; perhaps / can help you.
They sat down at the foot of a
tree, and, after looking over the pa
pers. the president penciled something
on them, told the man where to go,
and went on to the War Department.
CAS- soon as Mr. Lincoln was out OF
sight, the listener went up to the sol
der, asked him what the trouble was
and what was written on the paper.
Here was the note: Mr.. Potts (Mr.
Potts was the chief clerk in the War
Department., attend to this mans
case at once and see that he gets his

News of. Mr.. Lincoln's daily good
turn to soldiers in difficulties spread
abroad, and all through the army the
men came to have that profound conf
dence in him that led them to speak
of him as Father Abraham. Again
and again. when they could not get
their troubles righted elsewhere they
would push themselves into the White
House, and almost always come out
with the little white card which all

do with him.

One exception, however, he made.

ORDINATIONS AT MARYkNoLL.

The midwinter Ordinations for the
Catholic Foreign Mission Society OF
America took place on Sunday, Feb.
8, at the Maryknoll, Seminary, Ossin-
ing, N. Y. Rev. Raymond A. Lane, OF
ST. Mary's Parish, Lawrence, Mass,
and Rev. Joseph A. Sweeney, OF St.
Mary's Parish, New. Britain, Conn,
were elevated to the priesthood; while
Rev. Joseph Hunt, of the Church of
the Assumption, Brookline, Mass, re-
ceived the sub-deaconate. Rt. Rev.
Edmund Gibbons, Bishop of Albany,
was the OBLIGATORY prelate.
The progress of Americas own For
eign Mission Society has been marked
ly providential, especially in view of
the crying demand at present for more
missioners. Though it is only eight
wears since the Papal sanction was
given to the work, Maryknoll in all it's
branches has now total of about one
hundred sixty persons, twenty OF
whom are priests, devoted to the serv-
ice of foreign missions. The more
widely known this work becomes, the
more responsive will be the co-opera-
ton of the American people with this,
their own national seminary, devoted
exclusively to foreign missions. Amer
lean Catholicity stands on trial before
the world: the verdict becomes in
creasingly more assured.

And this lasted for years. But one
Christmas Eve young man came to
the monastery door and offered him.
self as postulant. 1t turned out that
among his qualifications was that OF
a good voice. The monks babe him
sing, and loud and clear there rose
up the sound of a magnificent tenor.
The monks were enraptured. -
"Now," they said, joyfully, "the
Magnificent will be, beautifully sung
So they admitted the candidate, and
at vespers that very evening there
rose up 'Magnificat" from the mon
astery choir such as the monks
thought must have been sung by a
seraph.
The birds came flying back to lis
ten. The monks were too much alb
sorbed in prayer and praise to see
the look of self-complacency on the
young mans face; and they could not,
of course, read his thoughts, which
ran: What a gain shall be to this
communicative only one who can
sing. / shall get on we'll. How love-
ly is my voice! How they are admir-
ing it!''
The night drew on, and the monks
were rapt in prayer, when suddenly
amongst them stood an angel form.
Very beautiful and glorious was that
celestial visitant; but yet his face was
sad, almost stern. He spoke, and the
monks listened in awestruck silence.
Il am sent hither," he said, ''by my
Lord and my King to know why no
Magnificent has been sung tonight.
For many long year sweet melody
has foated up to heaven from this
choir, when with fervent grateful
hearts you sang His Mothers song
and His own. Why, then, in the first
blessed Vespers of the Nativity are
We silent? Not sound has reached
the ear of God"
He did not wait for reply. How
could mortals answer him? They fell
prone upon the ground, and the angel
disappeared. The. postulant departed
to another monastery and afterwards
the monks sang the Magnificent, and

Jury Of Neighbors
DEGREES Separation
of Pastor and Wife
Preachers Parlor is
Court" and Children
Are Witnesses
By HAL COCHRAN,
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.

LIVERPOOL, N. Y, April ia
selected Jury of three neighbors
has decided that the Rev. W. w.
Brunk, pastor of the First Methodist
church, and his wife, whom he mar
ried 22 years ago, shall separate.
AS was agreed before the meet
ing called, the pastor and his wife
signed the decision and have separ-
ated.
Unable to settle their domestic
troubles themselves, and not wish
ing an airing in the divorce court,
Rev. Brunk and his wife went to
gether to Justice of the Peace Jol-
son for advice. He suggested that
the Brunks' own neighbors settle the
problem.
1t was decided that three friends
should sit on the Jury" hear both
sides of the case and hand down a
decision which both Brunk and his
wife agreed to abide by.
Pastors Parlor Is Court.
The hearing took place in the par
lor of the clergyman home. While
the three children of the Brunk
family, Lillian, 20, a sophomore at
Syracuse University; Alfred, 16, a
student in high school, and Clifford,
Z, waiting in the dining room, Rev.
and Mrs. Brunk told their stories.
First they were questioned separ-
ately and then joint hearing was
held.
Lillian was called to testify.
-
agree on some things" was all she
would say.
Then the neighbors deliberated
alone and pronounced their decision:
that the couple would be-for the
time being, at least-better off
apart.
The next day Mr.. and Mrs. Brunk
called together at the office of
George B. Dolsen and signed an
agreement upon the terms of their
situation. The paper read that Mrs.
Brunk should take their youngest
son, Clifford, and go live with her
bachelor brother, John Battle of PEN
sacola, Fla.
Her husband was to pay her $2,-
O00-$1 500 to be raised by placing
a mortgage on the Brunk homestead
and $500 in cash at once.
Prepare Last Supper.
% After signing the agreement the
couple returned to the Brunk home
where Mrs. Brunk prepared the sup
per. She Strengthened up their lit
tie home and then left on the mid
night train, accompanied by her lit
tie son and her brother.
