 The ordination of Deacon R. C.. Jenkins as priest, which the Bishop held at Holy Trinity Cathedral Sun day morning, was a very imposing and solemn service. After morning Prayer by Dean Christian and the Rev. MT. Corser. the sermon was preached by the Rev. MT. Corser on "The Duty and Responsibility of the Priesthood, It's Necessity in the Church of Christ, and How the People Ought to Esteem the Same" The Litany with special suffrage for the Deacon to be ordained Priest was said by Dean Christian who also presented Dr. Jenkins and certified to his examination The Bishop con tinued the Communion service. The pauses for silent prayer, the searching questions and answers, and the Laying on of Hands, in which the other two priests present joined, were most impressive.
 The music under tne charg2 of Mrs. Christian who also rendered solo at the offertory, was espec- tally beautiful
 The Rev. Dr. Jenkins was ordered Deacon two years ago at ketohi kan by the Bishop, since which time he has been in charge there. Dl Jenkins has held pastorates in Waies and England, China and Mexico under the Congregational Board.

 Watchman's Boat

Not satisfied with lifting the Libby McNeil & Libby Company trap a Shelter Cove early Monday morning and stealing approximately 600 echoes and king salmon, fish pirates took the trap watchman's boat with them and left the man marooned on Sh2l' ter Island.

 In telling of the robbery today, the watchman said that at about midnight Sunday night large boat painted dark color and having d tall mast apepared in the cove. A small boat was dropped over the side and a man with a gun walked on the beach This man went on patrol duty on the beach while the boat pulled up to the trap and leis' urely emptied the trap of it's con- tents.
 Had No Chance Fearing the patrolman on the beach, the watchman kept to his cabin while the robbery was going on. He could take no chance at shooting when the boat first pulled in and after the patrolman took his station. he was kept covered all the time.
 The watchman said today he was unable to identify either the boat or the men on it or the man patrol ling the beach. The pirates were about four hours on the job He estimates that about six hundred fish were in the trap, mostly king salmon. so the haul was worth at least d thousand dollars.
 ! It being Sunday the trap was not fishing when the men arrived but when they left they fixed the gear so that it began operating again They also took the watchman's skiff with them.

One OF the most charming and in

names OF Roman history. Her prede-

The law cares more for property Than for persons
What does This mean?

or food and clothing people would die Without others
they would be desolsle and wreiched.
And on the other hand, apart from human lives the
things called property would have value than
the sands OF sahara. II the law for them, Il is
not for their own sake but only for The sake OF the
sons that they serve.
Property and persons not antagonists.
And what is the law9" II is not person or even
tangible self-exisng thing like tree stone. 1t Is
simply statement OF what people have agreed to do or
70 compel others TO do and Il could not possibly exist

that some or all, Of it is held by individuals when It

THE ETERNAL GRIN
For Verses Written Specially for
The Evening Journal
BY W. d. GREENE.

He hailed from Connecticut where
The wooden nuimegs grow;
He was acheerful nut; his cognomen
was doe -
lie was tall, and he was lanky. and
his features resembled sin,
But he had redeeming quality-and
that was a pleasant grin.
He grinred when he enlisted, beside
the village store,
And when he donned his uniform, he
grinned a good bit more.
His legs were long and slender in his
"natty" khaki pants,
Then they put him on a boat and
shipped off TO France.
lie marched into the trenches, with
grin and with gun,
And said that his one ambition was
t0 get a yellow Hun
81 killed many squirrels with Pops
rifle. way back at home.
And if "Heinie" shows his face
he'll be my meat, by gum
/ guess he made his promise good
when he went over the top.
He was fighting like a bear-cat. wher
saw him grin and drop.
lhey rushed 10 the hospital ana am
putated his fin.
But still he wore upon his face tha'
everlasting grin.
They placed him beside a window, ir
clean and cOzy place,
And when the nurse approached hin
he grinned full in her face.
The nurse. she was fair, and he, al
ugly as sin,
And yet he won her for his bridi
with his eternal grin.
The moral TO this little tale, is plail
to grasp, my boy.
Just wear a constant cheerful grin
in sorrow and in JOY.
II you yield TO misfortune, you vii
never win the race
So meet this old world bravely, Wit
grin upon your face.
