Ail reported that representatives of their districts had voted to-increase the amount of financial aid given in the i'ast.

I am sure that hundreds would rise to their feet and proclaim that the God who takeih away the of the jj-orld, can change the leopard 's spots." from this i)Oint, Malon declared that the black man. with iiroper opjiortunity, could make for himself a place In the world. "The black man needs personal imrity. imrity. commercial pur- ty in his life." Dr.

Dr. Chandler tiii.s little twit at the bishoji: "Somehow, I always thought that Bishop Quayle got more Information from his pupils by the he a.skeil questions than he possessed himself at the tl'me he was teaching." The vast audience laughed heartily. Bishop Quayle took the joke n'ith rare good siiirii and arising said: "ril say to iieople, however, that I never cot any information from Dr. Chandler." Then the audience laughed again. At this point.

Dr. Chandler told a story. It was a story and of course was to be taken as such. "Just before I was appointed district superintendent by the bishop," 5aid Dr. Chandler.

'I dreamed that I died. I dreamt that the duties of office were too hard for me and I succumbed. I ascended to the pearly where St. Peter said; "Who are you?" "I'm Tom Chandler, of the Ottawa district." "Take this piece of chalk, go down to the bl.ickboard and mark up all the mean things you did while attending Baker university." "1 took the chaik and 'started dow'n the pathway. When almost to the blackboard, 1 met Bishop Quayle ruii- ning toward me." "Hello, Toiii," cried the bishop, 'lend me chalk, I've used mine all Then the congregation enjoyed another laugh.

Even cheered a little at the joke. Presently Bishop Quayle arose and said, jokingly: "I supiiose that I may be privileged to say that his ability to lie is no dis- (ualificaiion for the district superin- tcndency; Go on Tom and make your ipeeeh."
