ELIJAH AND THS RAVENS.
A Story Which Did Not Fit This Pa(
tieulsr Minister's Case.
I North Carolina probably never pro
duced nu abler, preacher than Dr.
Francis L. Ilawkes, who once was
pastor of Grace Episcopal church, New
I York. Short, thick set, swarthy, black
eyed and black haired, he was a strik
ing personage. lie was not only a
great pulpit orator, but considered tho
best reader in the New York episco
pacy. His rather luxurious family de
terred him from accepting a bishopric,
which would have otherwise been
tendered. One day a delegation from a
Buffalo church waited upon lilm and
invited him to accept a pastorate in
that city.
"Well, gentlemen, other things being
satisfactory, the question of accept
ance narrows down to a business mat
ter," said Nr. Ilawkes. "What salary
do you offer?"
"l)r. Ilawkes," said the spokesman,
"we recognize that you have n high
reputation and are willing to bo lib
eral. Our recent pastor received $2,
500, but on account of your branding
we have decided to offer you $3.noo.'
"My good mnn," cried the doctor,
"do you know what salnry 1 am recelv
lng here?"
"No, sir."
"I get $15,000 nnd this parsonage,
and, as I have an expensive family, I
do not see my way clear to nccept your
offer." -
The spokesman looked rather sheep
ish, but mndo another essay.
"If wo had known that, sir, we
would undoubtedly have looked else
where, but you should remember that
the work of the Lord must be done,
nnd, as for providing for your family,
you know the story of Elijah nnd the
ravens."
"Now, my friends," responded the
clergyman quizzically, "I have made
the Bible my study ever since I was
twenty-eight. I have read It through
carefully nnd prayerfully over 100
times. I remember the raven Inci
dent perfectly, but nowhere can I find
any reference to the Lord's providing
for yonng Ilawkes."
THE CHARTER OAK.
Bells Tolled and Funeral Dirges Played
When It Fell.
The charter oak of Hartford was a
white oak. The story goes that when
James, duke of York, nscended the
throne of England nnd sent Audros to
take away all colonial charters Con
necticut alone refused to surrender
hers. Andros was furious over this
defiance, nnd Oct, 31, 1087, he returned
to the assembly hnl'of Hartford with
a body of soldiers anfi demanded in
stant surrender of the charter, which
lay in a box on the table. A hot dis
cussion followed. Finally Andros
stretched out his hand to seize the
disputed paper. Then the candles
were suddenly extinguished, nnd the
people who had gathered on the street
outside rushed In a disorderly crowd
into the hall. There was a period of
wild confusion in the dark, and when
the candles were finally relighted no
charter was to be fouud. It had been
removed by Captain Wadsworth and
concealed In the oak, which ever after
ward bore its name.
The oak was even then old. "When
the first settlers were clearing their
land the Indians begged that it might
be spared. 'It has been' the guide of
our ancestors for centuries,' they said,
'as to the time of planting our corn.
When the leaves nre the size of a
mouse's ears, then is the time to put
seed Into the ground.' The Indians' re
quest was granted, and the tree, after
ward becoming the custodian of the
lost charter, became famous for all
time. It fell In a windstorm Aug. 21,
1850, and so deeply was it venerated
that at sunset on the day of its fall
the bells of the city were tolled and 'a
band of music plnycd funeral dirges
over Its ruins.
At the time of Its fall Its circumfer
ence one foot from the ground was
twenty-five feet, and it was estimated
to be over COO years old. Kansas City
