MANY CLERGYMEN WITH us.
They Come to Attend the Summer School and
and Ascension Parish Jubilee-All Saints
Sisters are Here Too-Program of the
Jubilee.

Westminster is full of good people-that is
''good" in the ordinary acceptance of the
word. The town will favorably compare for
morality with any other of like size, but at
present the city is full of clergy of the Epis.
copal Church and number of All Saints
Sisters. About twenty of the clergy are at
| tending the second annual session of the Sum
mer School for Priests, conducted under the
auspices of the Order OF the Holy Cross, and
among the faculty is the eminent Right Rev
erend Charles c. Grafton, Bishop of Fend du
Lac, and several learned clergymen and lay
| men. Then there are some former rectors
of Ascension Parish, drawn here to attend the
Jubilee, commemorative of the 6ftieth ami
yersary of paroehial existence.
The summer school began last Monday and
will close next Saturday, the 2lst. The
course is a continuation of seminary instruc-
ton, or rather finishing and higher course,
and includes much to help the rector in his
practical duties.
Bishop Grafton will preach the Jubilee SER
mon at Ascension Church at 1890 o'clock
tomorrow Sunday morning. He was once
a practicing lawyer in Baltimore, but, deeid-
ing to become an Episcopal clergyman, pur-
sued his ecclesiastical studies under Rev. Mr..
Prescott, former rector of Ascension Church.
After ordination he entered the Order of st.
John the Evangelist and remained member
until he was chosen Bishop of Fond du Lac.
Bishop Grafton founded the Episcopal Sister
hood of 'The Holy Nativity, an order whose
principal aim is to assist in the propagation
of the Episcopal faith and to aid in mission
work. Wisconsin is divided into two do
ceses, and it is coincidence that Bishop
Grafton, of Fond de Lac and Bishop Isaac l..
Nicholson, of Milwaukee, the respective heads
of the two dioceses, were formerly connected
with Ascension Parish, Bishop Nicholson hav
ing been rector of Ascension Church for sew
eral years.
