a small offense to bring about the carrying out of the terminating clause of most of the rules for the government of the school, he shall be dropped from the rolls and restored to his freedom. There was quite a weeding out process going on, and while much simply mischievous conduct only brought a heavy bullyragging, as we used to call it, upon offenders, anything that smacked of ungentlemanly conduct infallibly caused one to be restored to his friends. One Sunday afternoon I was in St. John's Church in the gallery. In a pew below I saw Captain Buchanan. In the midst of the service one Peter W., a large and remarkably handsome fellow, came into the gallery in his midshipman's jacket, a suit service fatigue uniform.

Goodwin, the rector, Lee and Pickett Camps and committees from Hollywood and other memorial associations being present. Thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness.—Deut. VIII, 2. My Brethren: The present is the product of the past; the future will be the outgrowth of the past and the present. That man is not without a heritage who can point with thankfulness and commendable pride to honest and God-fearing ancestors, especially if he makes it manifest by his conduct that his character is built upon the principles that govern them.
