1t was less than two weeks later
that Clara was shaking hands with

DESERVED TO BE ANSWERED
Congregation That Stopped for Prayer
In Moment of Dire Peril Had i
the True Faith.

One night in the summer of 1907 in
the little town of Wellington, on Van
couver island, the service in the Eng
fish church was interrupted and the
congregation followed the pastor into
the woods to fight a fire which was
threatening their homes. On the other
side of the earth, in the Australian
back-blocks, similar incident occurred
recently, which was thus described by
the preacher in Westminster Congrega-
tional church, England. He said he
was present at service in the little
church 'that might be tucked away I'M
der one of these galleries" An old
farmer was preaching. Amid the pro-
found Stiffness Of the Bush there was
suddenly heard mile off the tread Of
galloping horse. On and on it came,
and the people glanced one at another,
for they knew that the solitary rider
brought serious message. There was
a dead pause. and everybody was
aware that the rider had dismounted
and was opening gate half mile
away. Then the gallop was resumed,
while the old farmer continued his
sermon. Presently the horse stopped
dead at little door on the right of the
pulpit, and grimestained man, COW
cred with perspiration, rushed into the
building. "Neighbors," he cried, 'the
ranges are on fire!" Those to whom
he spoke had cause to dread the BUSH
fire in its awful menace and its de-
structive ferocity. The flame sweeps
down the mountain side, tree after tree
bursts into fire, the red tongues leap
Ing faster than horse can gallop.
Every homestead was in peril, the fruit
Of years labor was vanishing. The
congregation sprang to their feet.
Don't rush, neighbors," cried the
farmer. LET us first ask the Lord
to go with u.s." He prayed. and the
prayer was answered.

WoIsey's Tomb.

Leicester Archaeological society has
decided to undertake further excava-
lions at Leicester abbey in order to
discover the foundations of that
building and incidentally to find the ex-
act whel eabouts Of Cardinal Woolsey's
tomb. The existing ruins, known as
Leicester abbey are actually those Of
the mansion built by the Cavendish
family out of the remains of the abbey.
Wolsey's gate, too, is still extant. 1t
is so called from the fact that Wolsey
was borne through this entrance to the
abbey when he was taken i'll while
on his way southwark to London to
answer to the king upon the charge
of high treason for which he had been
apprehended." He never completed
