| TeUSlOuS WOrk tne DoyS their elders to
shame by the energy and vim with which
Mr.. R. g. Leypoldt secretary Of St.
Georges Chapter New York, was then in
The Methods and Possibilities of the Boys
Department" In his paper Mr. Leypoldt
said that the best missionary to send out
among boys was a brfght-faced. earnest
number Of valuable suggestions as to how
! best to proceed to interest the boys in the
work Of st. Andrews Brotherhood. He also
told Of the various methods that are now
followed up In New York, Philadelphia,
| Baltimore and other cities to achieve this
end: Two complaints had been raised
against the boys department-that the
standard was too high and the vows too
| severe. The lives of the boys proved them
selves the best reputation Of these criti-
cisms. 1t had also been claimed that this
| work would give rise to a certain amount
| Of religious cant among the boys. He did
| not think this was true: but even II 1t were
1t would be better to find it out early in the
| youth and correct 1t, rather than have 1t
develop later in life. when it would be a
| much more serious evil.
w. Tyler Page of st. Georges Chapter.
Baltimore. one Of the staff Of the clerk Of
| the House of Representatives, read a paper
/ on THE Mems Chapters and the Boys
| Chapters
Training School.
| Mr.. Page took the ground that wherever
there was a senior chapter there should be
| d junior department DIS wen, as h SOTt OIL
feeder. The boys department is to the
brotherhood as West Point is to the United
| States army. The result of such work is
| that Che young men of the church do not
| enter the lists ill-equipped, but armed and
| panopiied in the full regalia of Gods right
| eousness. Never more truly could 1t be said
| that as the twig Is bent SO will the tree be
| inclined. The field is one of immense USE
| fulness, and so far from the boys chapter
| being a drawback and an incumbrance upon
a W. a m
| helpful. Boys are the most valuable ad-
| juncts to the work for Christ and If the
director of the boys department is really
| interested in them and Is in touch with
| them he can accomplish an immense
| amount of good more than one would
| realize at first thought. Chapters of st.
| Andrews Brotherhood that have not such
| training schools as the boys departments
| supply should secure them without delay.
| The hour of noon having arrived, Mr..
Pages paper was interrupted, while Blsnop
| er and in the recital of the collect for
| st. Andrews day, a custom that is always
| followed al the conventions of the brother
| hood.
| Then Mr. Page went on with the reading
| OF his pa ger, presenting number of inter-
| esting and valuable suggestions for advanc-
ing the work among the youth of the land,
| end especially in the little details within the
| chapter.
In the boys department much more is
| left to the direction of the rector than is the
| rector has a deal to say as to the appoint
ment of the director, of the secretary and
| the election of new members; and he also
| has general supervision of the work that is
| to be accomplished. So it was that especial
| attention given this afternoon TO tn :
address of Rev. Robert keil of St. Johns.
| Cuyahoga Fails, Ohiq,s His subject was The
| Rector and the Boys Chapter" He criti-
| cised the ministers for the lack of interest
they showed in the boys of their pa fishes.
Form the boys said Mr.. liell, "and you
| will rot have to reform the men," He said
that too often the MINISTERS forget that the
| boys of today are the rectors and the vestry-
| men of tomorrow, and far more attention
should be devoted to them. IF the boys
were properly looked after" said the speak
| er, there would be little work left for St.
| Andrews Brotherhood to do"
| There few moments silent prayer
for a blessing upon the work among the
boys, and the subject was closed with an in
| formal discussion, which was participated
| in by Mr.. Marshall of South Carolina and
Mr. George c. Thomas of Philadelphia, and
| al 1870 the convention adjourned, TO meet
| again at o'clock.
Bishop Potter.
The principal feature of interest at the
afternoon session of the convention, which
convened at o'clock. was an address by
Rt. Rev. Henry C. Potter, DID,, bishop of
| New York, on the subject: THE City and
the Nation"
Rishcp Potter introduced his remarks by
| referring to the fact that the brotherhood
| was first of all a brotherhood of the
| church of God. Unlike other associations
of the kind, its aim was not physical, intel
lectual or merely moral, but religious. AS
such its work was both conservative and
| aggressive. He passed then to speak of its
sphere, which was not alone of the family
| or community, but Of the nation.
! What then, he asked, is the mightiest
| force in the nation? His answer to that
| was 1.-The city" First, because 1t is the
numerical center; second, the intellectual
Tor ir1 no .pnvnfa 81
nations life. He then proceeded to point
out how the spiritual force of the city had
failed to Keep pace with its growth first,
because of the lack of sympathetic actiV-
! ity, and then because OF the growth of
institutionalism. He pointed out how the
present emergency In the cities demanded
not institutions SO much as personal con-
tact. lie claimed that the sphere of the
church was co-terminous with the life of
| the nation and emphasizes the distinction
between the sphere of the church and it's
| functions. The function of the church was
! not to run primaries, nominate candidates
and manipulate conventions, but men every
where were within its rishtful sphere and
| the calling of young men everywhere was
| to influence their fellows by personal en-
deavor, by example of noble living and
| by cheerful and habitual self-sacritice.
