it was blessed. and in the
reading of the formal installation

the following is an excerpt:
"And as a economically instituted
priest into the office of rector of All
Saints parish you are faithfully to
feed that portion of the flock. OF
Christ which is now entrusted to
you; not as a man-pleasure, but as
continually bearing in mind that you
are accountable to US here and to
the Chief Bishop and Sovereign
Judge of all, hereafter
Casady Makes Response.
In response to the presentation of
the keys the new rector said: T,
Tho mas Casady, receive these keys
of the House of God at your hands.

of your parochial recognition, and
promise to-be the faithful shepherd
over you. in the name of the Father,
and cNthe Son, and of the Holy
Ghost"

they expect of their rector. He
urged that the members be slow to
listen to words of criticism which
may be uttered against the new

endowed with the. same talents.
"As a man thinketh so he is. IF
you think loyalty toward your rec
tor. you will be loyal he added.
Addressing hrs words with par
ticular directness to the new rector,
the bishop asserted that he is the
watchman on the wall to guard
against the devastating influences
which are abroad in the world.

Here's a super-Zeppelin from inter-

Two thousand years ago the Chinese

Alexander Dumas loved all women,
but managed to escape the chains Of
matrimony until his fame was well
spread. He was, like many another
genius, irresponsible, careless and a
first-rate roisterer. He made love to
nearly every pretty face he saw, and
when he beheld Ida Ferrier, charm
ing young actress, portray a role in
one Of HIS plays very much to his lik-
ing, he lost no time In rushing back
stage at the Porte st. Martin to tell
her so. He followed his usual custom
of transferring the praise Of the act
ress to the praise of the lady, and she
accepted his advances at their face
