SAVED BY HIS CASSOCK
Mr. G. A. N. Lowndes, the assistant education officer of the L.C.C., speaking in London recently, said that he was once playing in a hockey match in which the Bishop of London was centre forward. "I drove a very smart ball," said Mr. Lowndes, "and to my horror I saw il flying straight, for the episcopal midriff. But the Bishop is a cautious man: The episcopalian cassock had been neatly rolled up to protect the episcopalian midriff, and all was well." The Bishop's comment was: "I have played centre forward for Marlborough against Radley for 38 years— and still do so."
