Church-Going Dog Dies

Connecticut, 1905

"Gip" Williams, a church-going dog, died in Nontville, a Berkshire village, and his funeral was held, says a Winsted (Conn.) dispatch to the New York World. Many children followed the dog to its burial place.

Gip, who was owned by a family named Williams, for years had attended prayer meetings and all the entertainments in the village church.

After the family had gone to prayer meeting recently Charles Richardson, who lives with the Williamses, said to the dog, "Gip, you can't go to church to-night." The dog walked into the next room and went through the window, sash and all.

Arriving at the church, Gip pushed the swinging door open and took his accustomed seat with the congregation.


Leaves High Station to Help Poor

Monsignoro the Count Vay De Vaya, a Hungarian priest of noble birth, has come to the United States to look after the spiritual needs of his immigrant countrymen.

Reared amid the luxurious surroundings of the Austrian court and destined by his father, the lord chamberlain, for a diplomatic career, the count put aside secular ambition and determined to devote himself to work among the poor.

Though only in his thirty-sixth year, he has lived in almost every country in Asia and Africa and has visited Australia and all the greater islands of the Pacific, studying the needs of missionary work.
