senger list, but this fact, Mr.. Byrne says.
Is not at all conclusive, as he has trav-
elled widely himself and found out that
passenger lists are sometimes compiled
after the ship Is at sea. Only recently.
he says, he found woman who makes
affidavit that she travelled with Mrs.
Lucy Byrne and her son from New
York to Montreal and got so we'll ac-
quainted with them that she went TO
the pier and saw them board the EN-
press.
Anyway. the widow and her son ap-
parently have vanished from the face Of
the earth. leaving the Rev. David s. X.
Byrne. according to the terms OF the will
and codicil as exhibited by him yes
terday. sole executor and inheritor of
the entire estate of William G. Byrne.
except for the 100000 left to servants
and the trust fund of s1.580.O00. All
who had precedence over him have gone,
SO 1t appears. He has advertised In
papers all over the globe. and heard
nothing. Under the law the absolute
disappearance of person for seven
years Is proof of his death In a legal
sense Seven years since the sinking
of the Empress will have elapsed on
May 29-next Sunday. After that day
and compliance with court formalities
Mr. Byrne believes he will come into
his fortune.
One of the many men who confirmed
the documents he presented for probate
was the Duke of Devonshire. Governor
General of Canada. On April 4. 1919.
according to one of the papers exhibited
by Mr.. Byrne yesterday, letters Of ad-
ministration were granted to him by B.
B. Johnson, County Judge OF Hamilton
,nfx -lo ,1 hn cd 10
executor and principal devisee OF the en-
tire estate. approximating in value $10.-
100000. Later the Judge changed this
estate to $22,000.000. Another paper In
Mr. Byrne's possession is apparently a
decree from the same Judge. allowing
him 100000 for executors expenses
and $4,000 for personal expenses.
But l haven't got a cent from the
estate so far" the minister said. Luck
lily i had a little of my own to carry
on the investigation with. I have sent
to the Judge 500 depositions taken in
many counties. have done most of the
work myself, for I don't trust every
body"
According to Mr.. Byrne's estimate
about So. 600, 900 worth Of the estate lies
in the United States. A good deal Of
1t is in stocks and bonds. In 1918 an
appraisal revealed property. worth $4,-
100000 in Argentina and the Southern
States: S2.500.000 in Brazil and Mex
leo: 100000 in Spain and s1,500,000 in
Australia.
Mr.. Byrne Is minister OF the Chris
tian Workers Church and lives at So
McGilI College avenue. Montreal Not
long ago he erected q granite shaft at
Kidds Corners. near Bewdley, Canada,
in memory of Joseph Scriven. who, says
Mr.. Byrne, was the real author of the
hymn What a Friend Have in Jesus"
which has been commonly attributed to
Bonar.
''Scriven found me freezing In a snow
drift when 1 was a child" Mr. Byrne
said. ITO him I owe my impulse to

The building and furnishings cost
over $4,000, and the money was
largely raised by subscription and
through financial assistance of Cap
tain R. X. Robertson of Moreau
Street Church, who took much inter.
est in the work at Algiers. Edward
Notice and James F. Fowler were
the builders. There was a towering
spire or steeple on the building
which was cut down and repairs
made TO strengthen the frame in
1868. The gilded hand with the index
finger pointing heavenward surmount
ed this spire and was an impress
sive feature of the old building. This
hand has done duty for forty-one
years and is in good state of preser
walton, and will be kept under cover
as an heirloom or souvenir of the
days that are past and gone.

In 1853, 1864 and 1865 the church.

suit of the invasion of the South by

church was served several years by
local preachers, among whom were
Rev. R. L. Walker, and James A. Ivy,
Robert II. Reed, Charles +. Evans,
Carl P. Petrini, George Brewer, and
others at different times.
The Quarterly Conference was

and had not made up my mind to
devote myself exclusively to the
ministry. Rev. r. Deering was pre-
siding elder of the New Orleans dis
trict, and through his persuasion,
greatly aided by my own convic-
tons, j was induced to try single
appointment. There were not more
than so or 60 persons present and

copal Church. l continued from this
time to preach regularly at Good
Hope Chapel every Sabbath for sew
eral weeks, pursuing my law. studies
meanwhile and debating the question
of my call to the ministry. At one
time my mind was so far made UP
against preaching that j refused to
apply for a license of the McGhee
Quarterly Conference, and continued
to preach for two months or there
abouts, with only verbal license
from Brother Deering. At last my
mind was decided determined to
preach and apply myself exclusively
thereto. l received license of the

The trustees of Good Hope Chapel

than 1000 inhabitants and not over
