 Tn a moment I got it. and asked to speak to MT. Edward Montforth. And then I waited. Ages and aeons passed and still I waited and then 1 feminine voice al the other end of the wire asked: "Waiting?" Yes, with what shreds of patience have left" was my reply. Another long silence.
 MT. Montforth is not stopping here"
 ''Oh, yes he is. I know he is."
 How do you spell the name?"

 "oh. I do hope tomorrow that the regular half back will sprain his ankle or something for I know that Eddie can play better football than he. It is only because he was fresh- man that they wouldn't let him on the regular team. but the captain has brought him out here nevertheless. Isn't it wonderful?"
 But child. dear, you mus stop talking and get that makeup off We must get over there if we are to catch Eddie before he sits down to dinner. And I must confess I am q little hungry"

Commencement Exercises of School Are Now in
 Progress

Athens, May 22.-( -(speciaI)-Dr. l. C. Jenkins, of Gainesville, Fla, de- ivered the commencement address at Athens college yesterday morning the large auditorium of the institu- tion being crowed with students and their friends. Last night Dr. Jenkins delivered a special address to the col lege Y. NJ. C. A.
 Senior class day exercises were ish rabbi and several ministers of various denomination spoke. Bishop Beckwith makes a novel interpreta- ton of canon 22 He stretches 1t to cover the entire church property, con- secrated and unconsecrated. pr. Wilkinson had not only the official indorsement of his vestry, but their hearty and full sympathy and CO., operation. Bishop Beckwith has, to our mind. not only taken an unwise stand but he is acting without law. His refusal to make a visitation to St. Johns church, meanwhile, is an extraordinary decision"
 Bishop Beckwith charged that Dr.. Wilkinson violated canon 22 and his ordination vows when he permitted Dr. Schwartz to make tho talk in the parish house without the con- sent of the bishop. Dr. Wilkinson contends that as the parish house has never been conseerated no canon of the church and no ordination VOW was violated.
