Yesterday morning the wharf was crowded with excited people, boats scud- ded hastily to the rescue, and a girl be- wailed the loss of her king. It seems as if while sitting cn one of the benches with the king on ner lap, one of those terrvific gusts of wind that has been pre- vailing now for some days, blew the poor old kKing overboard. After floating a few feet, (he ecould not swim being paralized by so sudden a ducking) he was recovered by one Coco, to whom amedal should be awardea.

Dear Sir:— Allow me space in your esteemed paper to say these ifew words on behalf of the Football Clubs of this island. { would like to know if the Boys of the Football Clubs are disgusted of play- ing this heal.hy game which the publie is so much interested in. For a long time past there has been no football mateches, and mapy persons asked ‘me (being a member of the Dread- nought Football Club) what’s going wrong, and I in plain words toid them, on account of the Boys of of the other Clubs being so disinterested, one time they take scmething on their shoulders and another time they have nc use for it, but I can testify that the Boys of tne Dreadnought are ready o play at any time although out of prac- tice, so 1 hope that the Boys cf the other Clubs will soon come before the puhbiic because the D. F. B. C. is anxivusly awaiting challenges from any Club in cluding St. Ihomas. Thanking you for space, Mi. Editor, _ I am, ~ Yours Respecttully, | REUBEN J. BRUN, | (Member of the D. F. B. C.) THE "'ISLINGTON CONFERENCE” of evangelical clergy of the Chureh of England, which has this year been held | at the Church House, Westnuinster, was notable for the outspoken address by Dean luge, of St. Paul’s Cathedral, on the question of Christian Union. Ee clesiastical statesmen, he said, had o reckon wiith the faet that many me n- bers of the Lambeth Conference, per- haps the majority, were stiff sacerdo- talists, who would have been willing to break up the assemkly rather than bate a jot of the dogma that a true Church must be epizcopally governed. The pro- spect ol a split in tne Lambeth Uonfer- ence was at almost any cost to be avoi- ded. ‘'The result,”” he deeclared, ‘‘'was a report which used elaborately concili- atory language towards non-episcopali- ans, while maintaining the vigil prinzi- ple that episcopal ordination is a neces- sary condition of recoygnition.”” He had great sympathy with Non-conforwmists who objected to reordinatioc, and consi- dered that the iaterehange of pulpits should be encouraged. ‘icansee nothing for it but what the Labour Party calls di- rect action. The law of the land gives us great liberty, and 1 suggest that we shauld use it, especially in Seotland. For myown part, 1 would purchase reunion with the Presbyterians and Wesleyans at the price ofa considerable secession by our own extremists.”” Church re- forms, he concluded, were prevented by those who refused changes which would bur submission to the Church of Rome.—Contributed.
