In*the early days of few churchs and long distances his door was always thrown open to the itinerant preacher and he ever cherish- ed it as a glorious privilege to perform his humble part in the mission of the Christian Church. His health began to fail some six months ago, and for three months he was confined to his home.

To "kuow a hawk frow a bernshaw" is a metaphor with a curious Listory. It 1s a comparison drawn from falcon- ry. "Hernshaw"" Is a corruption of "heronshaw,"" or young berou, a bird which was a common prey of the fal- cous. To know a hawk from a hern- shaw Is therefore tu be able to distin- guish the falcon from its prey. A fur- ther colloquial corruption crept Into the phrase, "to know a hawk from a haodsaw," a form used by Hamlet in one place. [ossibly the distinction be- tween a dawk and a bhernshaw was found not to be stroug enough for the purposes of the proverb.
