Excerpt from The Bowdoin Quill, Vol. 20: November, 1916 At the death of the priest, so the tradition ran, this box was buried with him, but afterwards appeared on the altar of the God, where it was at once recognized and venerated. I am going to give you this box, and that you may always carry it on your person, I want you to use it as a match box. It may prove of even greater service. A few days later, I received a tele gram announcing Doctor Bowdoin's sudden death. Thus ended my friend's mortal existence, but for more than a year no day had passed that I did not entertain some thought of him - his search for esoteric truth; his eagerness to see me happily married; his last words, uttered, I became convinced, under a premonition of his impending end.
