annual meeting.
large number of the directors and officers
were in attendance, and the reports read were
very gratifying as regards the prosperous con.
d1tion Of the Exchange business. The report
OF Mrs. Ross Johnston. the President, was
almost pathetic in its context, and was an
earnest plea for those interested in the Ex-
change to correct, If possible. the erroneous re-
port that seemed rapidly gaining credence re-
garding the alleged overhowing treasury of the
Exchange, which. though managing to hold its
own with the expenses and receipts, was not
accumulating untold wealth. Admitting that

AFTER hearing the addresses delivered last
evening by young men in the chapel Of Trinity
Episcopal Church one could not help being
impressed with the action and energy of the
Order ofSt. Andrew holding the meeting. The
evening services having been concluded. Rev.
John W. Wood, of New York, General Secre-
tarY OF the Brotherhood, spoke at considerable
length. he stated that seven years ago St.
James, OF Chicago, was quite cold church for
the stranger to enter-young men Stunned it
on account of the lack of sociability and inter-
est. In fact, it seemed to be matter of con-
gregational indifference whether those not
members obtained seats. The young men of
the parish hoped to remedy this, and on St.
Andrews Day met and organized the society
that now bears his name-that saint hefnk
chosen for his example in seeking out men
whom he benefited. The Brotherhood has
since grown until there are now in this country
500 chapters and 1000 members.
