Female Bishops

Relating to the A. M. e. Chapel
item last week of the pageant eth
iopia" we received some hot COM
pliments about the same, but no one
has taken the trouble to explain or
complain. One speaker said the
trouble up there was three or four
female bishops, were trying to put
on dog all over the church, Hot
Stuff! II so, no wonder the Meth
odist preacher does not have TO bel
ieve in purgatory hereafter, he
gets his right now and here, in some
cases. We remember hearing the Rev.
Father Hylebos, Vicar-general Of the
Diocese of Nisqually now Seattle
(Catholic) preach sermon in old
st. Leo's Church before it was burned
down in which he certainly scored
certain "female bishops" who he al
legged were keeping that congregation
in hot water at the time. So it seems
sometime the same disease.

We assented and all drove up in the

About halfway up the drive. on the
right, a path branched off. which led
round to the terrace and the window
of Ackroyd's study.
would you like to go with the in
spector, NJ. Poirot?" asked the chief
constable, "or would you prefer to ex-
anime the study?"
Poirot chose the latter alternative.
Parker opened the door to US. His
manner was SNUG and deferential. and
he seemed to have recovered from his
panic of the night before.
Col. Melrose took a key from his
pocket and, unlocking the door. which
led into the lobby, he ushered us
through into the study.
Except for the removal of the body,
M. Poirot, this room is exactly as it
was last night
And the body was found-where?"
AS precisely as possible I described
Ackroyd's position. The armchair still
stood in front of the fire.
Poirot went and sat down in it.
The blue letter you speak of. where
was it when you left the room?"
''Mr. Ackroyd had laid it down on
this little table at his right hand
Poirot nodded.
Except for that everything was in
its place?''
