But Dr. Mansfield treated tiiat with scorn, and went on to explain Jus', who were the individuals responsible for the infiiiy and devious splendid things accomplished there. In fact there was this spirit everywhere. There Is absolutely no desire for self glory In anyone I met a rure thing to be found lu a large or- ganization. Over seventy years ago a pious gentleman from Boston found his boat stranded on the New England cooast. He found shelter, however. In the Inn of a small coast town. It was Sunday. The pious gentleman sent out word to the various ships which had sought shelter In the storm that there would be a service that Sunday morning In the parlor of the Inn, and there was such tremendous response that soon afterward a floating church was to lie seen In New York harbor. For It showed seamen enjoyed a service. Next some men from Trinity parish went down every Sunday to the wharves and asked the men to come to services. And the Seamen's Church Institute hnd grown ont of these beginnings and the I'rotestant Episcopal Church Missionary Siv clety for Seamen In the city and port of New York. Since 100C It has been known as the Seamen's Church Inst'tute of New York. "J It was Iteverend Dr. Mansfield who made ths Church institute whnt It is who struggled his way thnrjgh fbe almost Insurmountable difficulties which loomed and Intruded and threatened. Time and again his life has been threatened. Time and again has he been watched and followed by men Crtrrvliie firearms waiting for an opportunity to gel even with him. for he bus been the bitter enemy of thesr vultures who have fed for years on sailors. VulMrcs who have not waited for death they huve been more remunerative llvliig but for the Incnpihirty on the pnrt of the sailors which they havo produced throngh the liquor they hove Bold.

The masters of the ships directed their men upon goln to shore to these various hoarding houses along the water fiunt. There the men found drink and women. Tiny were thoroughly fleeced, they were thoroughly felled with liquor, and then ihcy were put ont as worthless "bums to eke out the rest of their Hire ashore penniless, usually coatlesd, hungry and .'ncklng In any self reiect. The n uney which they had been robbed of by these b'tardliig houses" was divided between the boarding house owners and the masters of the sUps. Here was Dr. Mansfield's greatest iHnicnity. The masters of the various ship wonld not give men Jobs who went to the Seamen's Church Institute. They mould not taka thcin back on theli hips. Hut Dr Mansfield went to vnrlous shipping comand so the terpanies which agreed to rible ion bine was at lust broken up. Everything and everyone along tho water front fought n hard and angry battle Dr. Mansfield, f.arber hops, boot blacking establishments, luneh r toms. all were ready to work In with the "hoarding fcour.es" i.nd the masters of the ships. There was where tho money was. Why bother abmrt a mini's boiJy when there wns money to think about?

They say the safety of the entire national parks system from commercialism depends on Its defeat.
